AI in Congestion Control
No full textCongestion control algorithms is a field that has been studied for many years. As a result many different protocols have been developed for the purpose of ensuring reliable end to end communication, that ensures that lost data is retransmitted, and packets arriving out of order will be reordered. However in recent years AI methods such as reinforcement learning have been proposed in the context of congestion control algorithm. This project investigates, how Q-learning can be implemented in TCP, and how the reward function will affect the behavior of the agent. Different versions of reward functions have been designed, implemented and tested in various network setups. The agents are even trained and tested against rule-based TCP protocols such as TCP Vegas and TCP New Reno. Hyper-parameter tuning has also been performed on the agent, and the results showed that hyper-parameter tuning was the deciding factor in regards to agents reaching their goal

ReLoC - Reinforcing Lowered Congestion
No full textThis project sets out to explore the possibilities of applying deep reinforcement learning to TCP congestion control. Throughout the project, a novel deep reinforcement learning-based congestion control algorithm was designed and implemented called Reinforcing Lower Congestion (ReLoC). Furthermore, three different variations of ReLoC were created and tested in a variety of network scenarios.Four policies were created for the three variations of ReLoC. These four policies were the results of training in four different environments. The first policy was trained using a network environment that would always follow the same pattern of changing available capacity without any other TCP clients communicating over the channel. The second policy was trained using a network environment that would switch to random levels of available capacity, but still without any other TCP clients communicating over the channel. The final two policies were trained using the same network environments as the two prior respectively, but with another TCP client communicating over the channel.Through testing it was shown that the ReLoC variants were able to outperform commonly used congestion control algorithms when operating alone on the channel, however, it would underperform when another TCP client would be utilizing the channel as well. Various suggestions for further improvements have been presented which may help ReLoC being able to perform well in scenarios where it is sharing the channel with another TCP client
Paul Bourget, écrivain engagé
No full textPaul Bourget, A committed writer, Yehoshua Mathias.
In the France of the early twentieth century, Paul Bourget's figure is that of a successful novelist who became gradually a «committed author». A monarchist, deeply conservative, passionate defender of religion and the family as the vital bases of the social order, he thus became the bard of the bourgeois ethic faced with the destabilization of modernity.Mathias Yehoshua. Paul Bourget, écrivain engagé. In: Vingtième Siècle, revue d'histoire, n°45, janvier-mars 1995. pp. 14-29
„Nature must be felt“ – Alexander von Humboldt, pioneer of an ecological worldview and protagonist of „transversal reason“
No full textDer Text erinnert zum 250sten Geburtsjahr an Alexander von Humboldt, ein Vordenker für eine ökologische Sicht der Welt und ein früher Protagonist „transversaler Vernunft“. Er ist als Ideengeber für die „neuen Naturtherapien“, für die Integrative Therapie und für eine ökologische Sicht in der Psychotherapie eine unverzichtbare Quelle. Einige aus dieser Perspektive wichtige Aspekte seines Denkens und Werkes werden aufgezeigt. Er ist ein Referenzautor für transversales und integratives Konzeptualisieren in unserer Zeit.The text commemorates the 250th year of birth of Alexander von Humboldt, a thought leader for an ecological view of the world and an early protagonist of „transversal reason“. He is an indispensable source of ideas for the „new nature therapies“, for integrative therapy and for an ecological viewpoint in psychotherapy. Some important aspects of his thinking and work are shown from this perspective.

The reality of fiction: the ECO by Mathias Goeritz
Get PDFAbstract
This article covers the full biography of a building, the Experimental Museum El Eco, designed by Germanborn and Mexican émigré artist and architect Mathias Goeritz. It provides an approach intersecting the biography of the author, the history of the building, and prominent individuals of the two cultural traditions, German and Mexican, who participated in the creation of a very special and unique building: El Eco. On the one hand, the ethics of Expressionism, the interest in non-European art, the cult of primitivism and the aesthetic system of the pair of concepts abstraction-empathy, all stemming from German culture. On the other, the pantheistic religiosity of landscape, zoomorphism and anthropomorphism, the interest in masks, and the aesthetics of monumental scale, stemming from pre-Cortesian Mexican culture. Taking the stance of intertwining Mathias Goeritz parcours with those of individuals and issues from his German past and his Mexican future – highlighting the figures of Wilhelm Worringer, Paul Westheim, Luis Barragán, Edmundo O'Gorman, and Ida Rodríguez Prampolini – this article proposes a return trip from fiction to reality, following in the footsteps of the author and comparing them with the pathway of the very building El Eco
Oswald Mathias Ungers and Sol LeWitt: Variations
Get PDFOne of the fundamentals of Oswald Mathias Ungers work is the definition of a new unity between art and architecture. What this investigation is focused on is the identification of the intersection point between art and architecture, considering the project for the Entrance to the Kaiserthermen in Trier (20032007) as case study, revealing the system of theoretical, methodological and compositional correspondences. Plastic art is Ungers' main interlocutor: one of the author's most important references is Sol LeWitt (1928-2007), an artist he admired and collected. Setting the work of Oswald Mathias Unger and Sol LeWitt side by side, offers the opportunity to underline the shared interpretation that the two authors have of the world of forms postulated by Henri Focillon (1881-1943) in Life of Forms, according to which form, autonomous with respect to time and place, has its own universe, governed by its own laws, space and matter. According to these premises, we propose to read Trier's building through the instruments of art, following the hypothesis that in this project art embodies a creative and positive component in the definition of architecture, a cultural stimulus that guides the author in the design process
