"Loop avoidance is essential in switched networks to avoid broadcast storms. Logical Spanning Trees are constructed on the physical meshed topologies to overcome this issue and preserve the stability of the network. However, during topology changes as the result of a failure, frame forwarding latency or frame loss is introduced when re-converging and identifying new spanning tree paths. The Meshed Tree algorithm (MTA) offers a new approach. Meshed Trees support multiple tree branches from a single root to cut down on re-convergence latency on link failures. A Meshed Tree Protocol (MTP) based on MTA is currently under development as an IEEE standard. MTP is evaluated for convergence delay and frame loss in comparison with Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) on the GENI testbed."--Abstract.

All of Christendom has heard of the imitation of Christ. Few within Christendom have heard much of the imitation of Paul. Perhaps there is nothing extraordinary about such a state of affairs. After all, Christ fills a far more significant role in Christianity than the Apostle Paul does. And yet, when one looks at the matter purely statistically, it is striking to find that the thought of the imitation of Paul comes to literal expression in the New Testament five times, while the thought of the imitation of Christ is found literally expressed only twice. -From the Introduction

Chopin''s short visits to London in 1837 and 1848 provide a glimpse of his professional and personal life in the metropolis among friends, patrons and fellow musicians.

This book provides an introductory but thorough guide to EU competition law, covering the underlying economics, and the key substantive areas of anticompetitive agreements (Article 81), abuses of dominance (Article 82), the application to the most common types of commercial agreement, state aids, state measures limiting competition and mergers. It also examines the procedures under which the relevant competition authorities apply the rules, private enforcement of the rules before the courts, and minimising risk by implementing a compliance programme. The emphasis is practical rather than theoretical: the authors are practitioners in the field of competition law and economics, with many years’ individual and collective experience in the area. This will be an essential reference tool for practitioners, academics and students of EU Competition Law.

In 1848, the year before he died, Chopin visited England, and gave a concert in Manchester. This text studies his time in Manchester and his friends there.

I have long admired the mythopoetic tradition in curriculum studies. That admiration followed from my experience as a high-school teacher of English in a wealthy suburb of New York City at the end of the 1960s. A “dream” job—I taught four classes of 15–20 students during a nine-period day—in a “dream” suburb (where I could afford to reside only by taking a room in a retired teacher’s house), many of these often Ivy-League-bound students had everything but meaningful lives. This middle-class, Midwestern young teacher was flabbergasted. In one sense, my academic life has been devoted to understanding that searing experience. Matters of meaning seemed paramount in the curriculum field to which Paul Klohr introduced me at Ohio State. Klohr assigned me the work of curriculum theorists such as James B. Macdonald. Like Timothy Leonard (who also studied with Klohr at Ohio State) and Peter Willis, Macdonald (1995) understood that school reform was part of a broader cultural and political crisis in which meaning is but one casualty. In the mythopoetic tradition in curriculum studies, scholars labor to understand this crisis and the conditions for the reconstruction of me- ing in our time, in our schools.

Issuing the final report on its energy sector inquiry, the European Commission pointed to a range of competition concerns across the EU energy sector, including a lack of integration and transparency. In particular, however, the Commission identified the high degree of vertical integration in energy markets as an obstacle to competition. The Commission''s suggested remedy is the separation of ownership and/or operation of gas and electricity transmission networks from other energy supply activities; the ''unbundling'' of transmission and other activities that control market access. While the Commission strongly favours full ownership unbundling, other possible models are under consideration. Unbundling faces considerable political opposition from a number of Member States. Even if the Commission is successful in its objective of securing unbundling, it will be some time before the necessary legislation takes effect. Meanwhile, however, the Commission has been pursuing a number of investigations into individual energy companies. A key theme of those investigations has been the alleged abuse of transmission network activities in order to restrict competition on energy supply markets. Practices under investigation by the Commission include ''strategic under-investment'' in network infrastructure. Remedies under consideration include the divestment of network activities. Any such remedy is likely to take effect ahead of legislative unbundling. Ordering unbundling as a remedy in individual competition cases would be a development for which there is little precedent. This raises the question whether the Commission has demanded concessions which it would not have done in the absence of wider concerns about the energy sector, or whether its work on the sector inquiry has simply provided it with a deeper understanding of the issues. There are also questions about the power of the Commission to order such divestment remedies. This article examines the background and the issues.

In the early 1970s Australia elected a populist left-wing government (the ''Whitlam government''). Official attitudes and policies were overturned. One sweeping change sought to reverse some of the terrible harm inflicted on Australia''s indigenous people. Equal pay for indigenous people and the first ''land rights'' policies were granted. Government funding was introduced for local Aboriginal self-development schemes. And at the top end of Western Australia, a young Catholic priest named Peter Willis found himself a new role as a would-be ''patron'' of the local Aboriginal people. Along with other white do-gooders in the town, Peter encouraged the Miriwoong Aboriginal people to apply for a federal grant to fund gardens and orchards and a general purpose truck at the Mirima Reserve. But while going along for the ''ride'', the Miriwoong people had their own, often unspoken, priorities. The ensuing debacle was both hilarious and painful for all concerned. Looking back (on what went wrong), Peter utilises ''exchange theory'' to demonstrate how the Aboriginal strategy of selective collaboration (''riding'' with their white patrons was also a method of resistance. This had ensured their survival during times of white brutality. But the strategy also facilitated growth under more humane regimes, allowing them eventually to re-claim and re-settle parts of their traditional lands.

The differences between on- and off-job learning environments continue to be the subject of much debate, and the notion of complementarity between them is a perennial issue for most forms of training and development. This paper grapples with this issue in relation to apprentices in the building industry in Australia. It analyses the different perceptions of complementarity held by apprentices, host employers and college teachers. It strives to understand the diverse meanings of complementarity within the context of communities of practice in which apprentices acquire not only vocational knowledge and skills, but also a sense of identity through internalising sometimes complementary but often contradictory messages from their different learning environments. Their development towards the status of ''competent tradespersons'' heavily depends on their individual abilities to integrate and synthesise these messages.
