Abstract: A collaborative on-line simulation system and method to provide automated and pro-active control functions for computer network. In a wide area network, clients communicate through one or several nodes (108). Each node (108) contains routers which include control plane (202) and data plane (204). Collaborative on-line simulators (206) are interfaced to the network nodes (108) and continuously monitor the surrounding network conditions, communicate with other simulators and execute collaborative on-line simulation. Based on the simulation results, the on-line simulators (206) continuously tune selected network parameters to a more efficient operation point to fit the current network conditions.

Abstract: A method of separating a material from a liquid sample comprising:providing a system for material separation having a stationary phase having a metalloporphyrin coordination compound or a metallophthalocyanine coordination compound or a mixture thereof;oxidizing or reducing the coordination compound, respectively, to an oxidized or reduced state at which the material will bind to the compound;applying a source of electric potential to the system; andcontacting the oxidized or reduced coordination compound with a liquid sample containing the material under conditions effective to separate the material from the liquid.
