Summary
This study introduces real-time Internet pricing using software-defined networking and blockchain to reduce network congestion. This approach increases provider profits by up to 72.91% while ensuring fairness and trust.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Network Engineering
- Cybersecurity
Background:
- Unlimited data plans cause network congestion due to lack of user accountability.
- Real-time pricing (RTP) can mitigate congestion but faces implementation challenges (opex, trust).
Purpose of the Study:
- To leverage software-defined networking (SDN) and blockchain for efficient and trustworthy RTP.
- To analyze network congestion and dynamically adjust pricing.
Main Methods:
- Implemented RTP using SDN controllers (POX) and blockchain (Ethereum).
- Congestion levels analyzed to dynamically adjust pricing.
- Consumer profiles and token deposits on blockchain for fee management.
Main Results:
- Proposed RTP system performed seamlessly.
- Network providers achieved up to 72.91% increased profits compared to existing pricing models.
- Blockchain ensured fairness and trust through proof-of-usage and transparency.
Conclusions:
- SDN and blockchain effectively address opex and trust issues in RTP.
- The proposed system offers a profitable and equitable solution for managing Internet bandwidth and congestion.

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

01:24Fast Decoupled and DC Powerflow
264
The fast decoupled power flow method addresses contingencies in power system operations, such as generator outages or transmission line failures. This method provides quick power flow solutions, essential for real-time system adjustments. Fast decoupled power flow algorithms simplify the Jacobian matrix by neglecting certain elements, leading to two sets of decoupled equations:

01:24Rapidly Varying Flow
119
Rapidly varying flow (RVF) in open channels is characterized by abrupt changes in flow depth over a short distance, with the rate of depth change relative to distance often approaching unity. These flows are inherently complex due to their transient and multi-dimensional nature, making exact analysis difficult. However, approximate solutions using simplified models provide valuable insights into their behavior.Key Features of Rapidly Varying FlowRVF is commonly observed in scenarios involving...

Distributed loads are a common type of load that engineers and scientists encounter in various practical situations. Distributed loads often refer to a type of load spread over a surface or a structure and can be modeled as continuous force per unit area.
For example, consider a bookshelf filled with books stacked vertically adjacent to each other. The weight of the books is evenly distributed over the length of the shelf. As a result, the pressure at different locations on the surface of the...
