Drunk driving is a serious offense, but often goes unnoticed because no harm is often caused by the person committing such a selfish act. Where there is an accident, fatal or minor, the individual is punished for driving while intoxicated. While many theorists believe that it is inappropriate to punish one who has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over the legal limit of .08%, I propose that regardless of the individual harming or not harming another, the person who is driving while...
Show moreDrunk driving is a serious offense, but often goes unnoticed because no harm is often caused by the person committing such a selfish act. Where there is an accident, fatal or minor, the individual is punished for driving while intoxicated. While many theorists believe that it is inappropriate to punish one who has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over the legal limit of .08%, I propose that regardless of the individual harming or not harming another, the person who is driving while intoxicated should face punishment. It should not matter if the driver did not show any signs of impairment or if they hurt anyone else while driving. Any person that goes behind the wheel impaired is at greater risk for hurting themselves or someone else at that time.

Pythagoreanism, as one of these philosophies, formed the basis for much of his numerical and musical symbolism. Four major Pythagorean concepts--number, antithesis, geometry, and music--became essential patterns in Yeats's work, particularly in his Noh plays. At the Hawk's Well exemplifies all of these concepts, and dramatizes their philosophical and symbolic implications. The Pythagorean symbols possess a tangible power as religious symbols, and Yeats called upon them to infuse his work with order, dimension, and a multiplicity of meanings, as he used them to represent his eternal search for Unity of Being.

Show moreThis dissertation proposes YACAD (Yet Another Congestion Avoidance Design for ATM-based Networks), a congestion prevention model that includes admission control, traffic shaping, and link-by-link flow control for ATM-based networks. Network traffic in this model is composed of real-time traffic and data traffic. As real-time traffic is delay-sensitive and connection-oriented, its call acceptance is based upon the effective bandwidth at all nodes. Effective bandwidth is defined as a vector of bandwidth and maximum node delay. As data traffic can be either connection-oriented or connectionless, it is subject to link-by-link flow control based on a criterion known as effective buffer which is defined as a scalar of buffer size. Data traffic is not delay-sensitive but is loss-sensitive. Traffic shaping is imposed on real-time traffic to ensure a smooth inflow of real-time cells. YACAD also allocates a large buffer (fat bucket) to data traffic to accommodate sudden long bursts of data cells. Absence of data cell loss is a major feature of YACAD. Two simulation studies on the performance of the model are conducted. Analyses of the simulation results show that the proposed congestion avoidance model can achieve congestion-free networking and bounded network delays for real-time traffic at high levels of channel utilization. The maximum buffer requirements for loss-free cell delivery for data traffic, and the cell loss probabilities for real-time traffic are also obtained. In addition, results of performance comparisons to other similar models have shown that YACAD outperforms several other leaky-bucket based congestion control methods in terms of cell loss probability for real-time traffic. The simulation source program has also been verified using existing queueing theories, and the Paired-t Confidence Interval method with satisfactory results at 99% confidence level.

Show moreIn Mexico, fragmentation is an integral element in social, political, and literary realities expressing an inequality among its citizens. This disparity is reflected in literary and cinematic representations. The Mexican male is the agent that perpetuates the fractured society, and his representation in the arts reflects the impediments to social progress in both the heterosexual and homosexual communities. The novels Los de abajo, Pedro Paramo , and La muerte de Artemio Cruz, present the traditional Mexican male and images of masculinity in the heterosexual community. El vampiro de la Colonia Roma by Luis Zapata introduces the male homosexual character into Mexican discourse and implies how he is affected by fragmentation. The film Y tu mama tambien (2001) by Alfonso Cuaron proposes that inequality will be perpetuated if Mexican society does not change its views of what is to be considered "masculine."

File sharing is the dominant P2P application on the Internet, allowing users to easily contribute, search and obtain content. The objective of this thesis was to design XYZ, a partially centralized, scalable and self-organizing lookup service for wide area P2P systems. The XYZ system is based on distributed hash table (DHT). A unique ID and a color assigned to each node and each file. The author uses clustering method to create the system backbone by connecting the cluster heads together and uses color clustering method to create color overlays. Any lookup for a file with a color will only be forwarded in the color overlay with the same color so that the searching space is minimized. Simulations and analysis are also provided in this thesis.

Show moreXYZ Video Compression denotes a video compression algorithm that operates in three dimensions, without the overhead of motion estimation. The smaller overhead of this algorithm as compared to MPEG and other "standards-based" compression algorithms using motion estimation suggests the suitability of this algorithm to real-time applications. The demonstrated results of compression of standard motion video benchmarks suggest that XYZ Video Compression is not only a faster algorithm, but develops superior compression ratios as well. The algorithm is based upon the three-dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Pixels are organized as 8 x 8 x 8 cubes by taking 8 x 8 squares out of 8 consecutive frames. A fast three-dimensional transform is applied to each cube, generating 512 DCT coefficients. The energy-packing property of the DCT concentrates the energy in the cube into few coefficients. The DCT coefficients are quantized to maximize the energy concentration at the expense of introduction of a user-determined level of error. A method of adaptive quantization that generates optimal quantizers based upon statistics gathered for the 8 consecutive frames is described. The sensitivity of the human eye to various DCT coefficients is used to modify the quantizers to create a "visually equivalent" cube with still greater energy concentration. Experiments are described that justify choice of Human Visual System factors to be folded into the quantization step. The quantized coefficients are then encoded into a data stream using a method of entropy coding based upon the statistics of the quantized coefficients. The bitstream generated by entropy coding represents the compressed data of the 8 motion video frames, and typically will be compressed at 50:1 at 5% error. The decoding process is the reverse of the encoding process: the bitstream is decoded to generate blocks of quantized DCT coefficients, the DCT coefficients are dequantized, and the Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform is performed on the cube to recover pixel data suitable for display. The elegance of this technique lies in its simplicity, which lends itself to inexpensive implementation of both encoder and decoder. Finally, real-time implementation of the XYZ Compressor/Decompressor is discussed. Experiments are run to determine the effectiveness of the implementation.
