When a young man is diagnosed as HIV positive, it starts a domino effect that falls upon him and the people he loves.

We created this coloring book as a way to initiate conversations with workers and their families about not only safety but also about mental health and wellness. A devastatingly high number of families have been affected by work-related accidents and deaths that have left them broken and grieving. Also, according to the CDC, construction/extraction has the highest suicide rate of any industry. Written in both English and Spanish, this coloring...

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks provideAvailable Bit Rate (ABR) and Unspecified Bit Rate(UBR) services for data traffic. The networkguarantees low cell-loss ratio (CLR) in the ABRservice for which it needs to impose a strict trafficpolicing measures to punish the non-compliant users. The accuracy of a policer is critical for thenetwork to meet the guaranteed QoS. The errors inthe policing algorithm lead to poor performance, witha pot...
