**Cross-layer interaction** and **service mapping** are concepts often discussed in the context of network management, system architecture, and distributed systems. Here’s a brief overview of each: ### Cross-layer Interaction 1. **Definition**: Cross-layer interaction refers to the communication and collaboration between different layers of a system or architecture. This is particularly important in network protocols, where layers (like the application, transport, network, and link layers) typically operate independently.
The rich-club coefficient is a measure used in network science to analyze the organization and connectivity patterns within a network, especially in relation to the nodes with high degrees (i.e., nodes that have a large number of connections). The concept is based on the observation that nodes with many connections (often referred to as "rich" nodes) tend to be more interconnected than would be expected in a random network.
Most commonly, boundary conditions such as the Dirichlet boundary condition are taken to be fixed values in time.
Peak Information Rate (PIR) refers to the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a network or communication channel. It is generally defined in bits per second (bps) and represents the highest data transfer rate achievable under optimal conditions. In the context of networking and telecommunications, PIR is often used to describe the capabilities of various technologies, including broadband services, where it indicates the maximum speed available to users.
The B Reactor of the facility produced the plutonium used for Trinity and Fat Man, and then for many more thousand bombs during the Cold War. More precisely, this was done at
Located in Washington, in a dry place the middle of the mountainous areas of the Western United States, where basically no one lives. The Columbia river is however nearby, that river is quite large, and provided the water needed by their activities, notably for cooling the nuclear reactors. It is worth it having look on Google Maps to get a feel for the region.
Unlike many other such laboratories, this one did not become a United States Department of Energy national laboratories. It was likely just too polluted.
Bibliography:
Oh, and if it weren't enough, mathematicians have a separate name for the damned nabla symbol : "del" instead of "nabla".
Mnemonic: it gives out the amount of fluid that is going in or out of a given volume per unit of time.
Mnemonic: the gradient shows the direction in which the function increases fastest.
Therefore, it has to:
- take a scalar field as input. Otherwise, how do you decide which vector is larger than the other?
- output a vector field that contains the direction in which the scalar increases fastest locally at each point. This has to give out vectors, since we are talking about directions
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
