I just read RFC 2119 which defines those uppercase words (MUST, SHOULD) that are used in Internet standards. The interesting thing about translating these, at least when translating to German, is this: must = muss (like in "this is a law you must follow") but "must not" ≠ "muss nicht". What is a prohibition in English turns into a lax "you don't need to do this, this doesn't have to happen" in German when both words are translated literally.

Network Calculus Results for TSN: An Introduction
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards that enables the industry to provide real-time guarantees for time-critical communications with Ethernet hardware. TSN supports various queuing and scheduling mechanisms and allows the integration of multiple traffic types in a single network. Network Calculus (NC) can be used to calculate upper bounds for latencies and buffer sizes within these networks, for example, for safety or real-time traffic. We explain the relevance of NC for TSN-ba…

Odd etymological question: I was interested today in whether the Soviet word for a labour camp, Gulag, was related to the Nazi-era German word for a prisoner of war camp, Stalag. Gulag is apparently a contraction of 'Гла́вное управле́ние исправи́тельно-трудовы́х лагере́й', where the last word transliterates as 'lageréy', while Stalag is a contraction of 'Kriegsgefangenen-Mannschaftsstammlager'. So: what is the root of 'lager', and how does it end up in both Ru…

Gated MoS2/SiN Nanochannel for Tunable Ion Transport and Protein Translocation
Ionic transport in nanofluidic channels holds great promise for applications such as single-molecule analysis, molecular manipulation, and energy harvesting. However, achieving precise control over ion transport remains a major challenge. In this work, we introduce a MoS2 SiN hybrid nanochannel architecture that enables electrical tuning of ionic transport via external gating, and we examine its potential for osmotic power generation and single molecule detection. To fabricate the channels, we …
