Advances in Optical Fiber Communications
We propose in this paper two heuristic strategies to solve the regenerator placement problem (RPP) in translucent networks under dynamic traffic. The heuristics are based on both the forecast of the offered load and estimates of blocking probabilities in the network nodes

Advances in Optical Communication
High-speed optical communication is very much useful part in our advanced fibre-based telecommunication systems, data processing and networking systems. It consists of a trans‐ mitter that encodes the message signal into an optical signal, a channel/ link that carries this optical signal to its desired destination, and a receiver that reproduces the original message from the received opti…

Afforestation and Reforestation: Drivers, Dynamics, and Impacts
Abstract Afforestation/reforestation (or forestation) has been implemented worldwide as an effective measure towards sustainable ecosystem services and addresses global environmental problems such as climate change. The conversion of grasslands, croplands, shrublands, or bare lands to forests can dramatically alter forest water, energy, and carbon cycles and, thus, ecosystem services (e.g., ca…

Affirmative Aesthetics and Wilful Women
Abstract Fifty years of feminist thought have made the idea that women stay at home while men dominate the streets seem outdated; nevertheless, Ceuterick argues that theoretical considerations of gender, space, and power in film theory remain limited by binary models. Looking instead to more fluid models of spatial relations inspired by Sara Ahmed, Rosi Braidotti, and Doreen Massey, this book …
