Traditionally, interest in parallel computation centered around the speedup provided by parallel algorithms over their sequential counterparts. In this paper, we ask a different type of question: Can parallel computers, due to their speed, do more than simply speed up the solution to a problem? We show that for real-time optimization problems, a parallel computer can obtain a solution that is better than that obtained by a sequential one. Specifically, a sequential and a parallel algorithm are exhibited for the problem of computing the best-possible approximation to the minimum-weight spanning tree of a connected, undirected and weighted graph whose vertices and edges are not all available at the outset, but instead arrive in real time. While the parallel algorithm succeeds in computing the exact minimum-weight spanning tree, the sequential algorithm can only manage to obtain an approximate solution. In the worst case, the ratio of the weight of the solution obtained sequentially to that of the solution computed in parallel can be arbitrarily large.

Denial of service attack is one of the most devastating and ruinous attacks on the internet. The attack can be performed by flooding the victim's machine with any kind of packets. Throughout all these years many methods have been proposed to reduce the impact, but with machines of higher capabilities coming in, the attack has also become more potent, and these proposals are either less effective or less efficient. A DoS attack exhausts the victim's resources affecting the availability of the resource. This paper will be comparing a few methods that have been proposed and published in various papers along with a newly proposed method. The comparison of the methods is done on a number of parameters including resource utilization, reaction time, worst case scenarios, etc. This paper also checks the viability of these methods over various layers of the network. Concluding with the best aspects of all the papers and the best among these for the current real conditions.

The minimum magnification for which an image can be acquired is determined by the design and implementation of the electron optical column and the scanning and display electronics. It is also a function of the working distance and, possibly, the accelerating voltage. For secondary and backscattered electron images there are usually no other limiting factors. However, for x-ray maps there are further considerations. The energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometers (EDS) have a much larger solid angle of detection that for WDS. They also do not suffer from Bragg’s Law focusing effects which limit the angular range and focusing distance from the diffracting crystal. In practical terms EDS maps can be acquired at the lowest magnification of the SEM, assuming the collimator does not cutoff the x-ray signal. For WDS the focusing properties of the crystal limits the angular range of acceptance of the incident x-radiation. The range is dependent upon the 2d spacing of the crystal, with the acceptance angle increasing with 2d spacing. The natural line width of the x-ray also plays a role. For the metal layered crystals used to diffract soft x-rays, such as Be - O, the minimum magnification is approximately 100X. In the worst case, for the LEF crystal which diffracts Ti - Zn, ˜1000X is the minimum.
