In broadband networks, bandwidth requirements of multimedia applications and size ofthe associated files deviate frequently and significantly from their average value and resultin impulsive and self-similar tra±c. Impulsiveness implies that the second- or higher-orderstatistics of the process are infinite. On the other hand, self-similarity translates to strongcorrelation between the process samples. Self-similarity has been traditionally defined basedon second-order statistics, e.g. a power-

Science In Focus: Energy
Interview with Dr. Sallie Baliunas about forms of energy including springs and magnets.,In this segment, Dr. Sallie Baliunas explains the energy transfers involved in pressing down and releasing a spring. She explains that potential energy gained from compressing the spring is changed into energy of motion, heat, friction, and sound. She explains that if we could measure with great accuracy, we could account for all the energy that appears to be lost. She goes on to state the law of conservat
