The Internet's great success has been essentially based on the simplicity and versatility of its TCP/IP architecture, as it imposes almost no restrictions on either the underlying network technology or the data being transmitted. In essence, applications built on top of TCP/IP get a point-to-point channel that can be used to transmit arbitrary information. This approach has served quite satisfactorily for many years, but it is no longer well suited to some of the new communication paradigms now being used on the Internet. Nowadays, most applications running on top of the Internet are no longer interested in using a point-to-point channel to exchange traffic between two endpoints. In contrast, what they want is to obtain some piece of information that is available in the network somewhere. The current use of load balancers and cache overlay networks is an interim solution to address this mismatch between the network communication model and the needs of applications, but such a solution suffers from significant shortcomings. Information-centric networks (ICNs), particularly Named Data Networking (NDN) and CCNx, offer a service where users can directly obtain information, regardless of location. This service suits current network uses and can provide the traditional point-to-point communication service if desired. This Special Issue highlights and presents recent advances in different problems related to using information-centric network architecture.

How the internet's memory infrastructure developed--averting a "digital dark age"--and introduced a golden age of historical memory.In early 1996, the web was ephemeral. But by 2001, the internet was forever. How did websites transform from having a brief life to becoming long-lasting? Drawing on archival material in the Internet Archive and exclusive interviews, Ian Milligan's Averting the Digital Dark Age explores how western society evolved from fearing a digital dark age to building the robust digital memory we rely on today. By the mid-1990s, the specter of a "digital dark age" haunted libraries, portending a bleak future with no historical record that threatened cyber obsolescence, deletion, and apathy. People around the world worked to solve this impending problem. In San Francisco, technology entrepreneur Brewster Kahle launched his scrappy nonprofit, Internet Archive, filling tape drives with internet content. Elsewhere, in Washington, Canberra, Ottawa, and Stockholm, librarians developed innovative new programs to safeguard digital heritage. Cataloging worries among librarians, technologists, futurists, and writers from WWII onward, through early practitioners, to an extended case study of how September 11 prompted institutions to preserve thousands of digital artifacts related to the attacks, Averting the Digital Dark Age explores how the web gained a long-lasting memory. By understanding this history, we can equip our society to better grapple with future internet shifts.

How surveillance perpetuates long-standing injustices woven into the fabric of higher education.Higher education increasingly relies on digital surveillance in the United States. Administrators, consulting firms, and education technology vendors are celebrating digital tools as a means of ushering in the age of "smart universities." By digitally monitoring and managing campus life, institutions can supposedly run their services more efficiently, strengthen the quality of higher education, and better prepare students for future roles in the digital economy. Yet in practice, these initiatives often perpetuate austerity, structural racism, and privatization at public universities under the guise of solving higher education's most intractable problems. In Smart University, Lindsay Weinberg evaluates how this latest era of tech solutions and systems in our schools impacts students' abilities to access opportunities and exercise autonomy on their campuses. Using historical and textual analysis of administrative discourses, university policies, conference proceedings, grant solicitations, news reports, tech industry marketing materials, and product demonstrations, Weinberg argues that these more recent transformations are best understood as part of a longer history of universities supporting the development of technologies that reproduce racial and economic injustice on their campuses and in their communities. For anyone concerned with the future of surveillance on higher education, Smart University empowers readers with the knowledge, tools, and frameworks for contesting and reimagining the role of digital technology on university campuses.

Women make over 80 percent of healthcare decisions in the U.S. yet have been excluded from designing the health system for too long. It was only 1993 when women and people of color were officially included in clinical trials. Heart attacks are the number one killer of women worldwide, but women are 50 percent more likely to be given a wrong diagnosis. Only four percent of all healthcare research and development is focused on women's health issues. From periods and childbirth to menopause, female pain has been normalized, as society shrugs and says "Welcome to being a woman" instead of coming up with better solutions.In The Vagina Business, award-winning journalist Marina Gerner PhD takes an eye-opening-and often times shocking-look at the inequities when it comes to scientific research and the funding of female-focused health companies. She exposes the obstacles entrepreneurs around the world face in the boardroom and beyond. Most of all, she shows us that it doesn't have to be this way. From a life-saving bra to non-hormonal contraception and new takes on fertility and menopause, she shines a light on innovation that matters. Women should not be denied solutions to health issues just because people are embarrassed to talk about vaginas. We deserve much better.

Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, grade: 3.96/4, Mekelle University (Ethiopian institute of Technology Mekelle), course: Road and Transportation Engineering, language: English, abstract: Many researchers agree that the contribution of vehicle overloading in the degradation of road pavement over the environment and the aging of materials is significantly larger. As such, the thesis emphasized overloading vehicles, which is considered a major factor responsible for most pavement damage worldwide.The thesis aimed to evaluate the effect of overloading on pavement layer deterioration and its effect on the life of the asset and the economic loss induced due to overloading. The input data for analysis were collected as a secondary source. Moreover, KENLAYER, part of the KENPAVE Computer Program, was applied for the pavement layers' nonlinear analysis and critical responses. The damage ratio indicating premature failure of the road is then determined from these critical responses and the actual reduction in service life of the road segment in years was determined. An economic evaluation criterion, the net present value was used to determine the economic loss for two scenarios, with and without overloading for the road investment.The road segment under study was designed for a traffic of 1.651*10^6 ESAL. On the other side, from the actual traffic and axle load data analysis results, the actual on-road traffic was 3.02*10^6. Thus, the overloaded truck traffic has created an extra load on the road pavement. As a result, pavement structures were damaged in an unexpected situation.The critical response results revealed that the tensile strain at the bottom of the asphalt layer and compressive strain at the top of the subgrade increased with increasing axle loads. Damage analysis was performed based on the Ethiopian Road Authority failure criterion, the permanent deformation on the top of the subgrade was the governing for the single axle with a single axle. In addition, the fatigue cracking on the bottom of the asphalt layer was the governing condition for single axles with dual wheels, tandem, and tridem axles.
