This paper presents a decentralized infrastructure, called Web2Peer, which makes Web pages available on Internet through P2P networks. Different from the conventional Web, the proposed approach does not need, for instance, a HTTP address or a central Web Server. Web2Peer provides a set of functions for publishing, locating, and replicating Web pages on Internet ensuring high availability and fault tolerance. Our infrastructure allows anyone who has a computer connected to the Internet, even through a domestic ADSL connection, to publish Web pages through their own machines without any additional cost

Presidential actions on Jan 20, 2025, by President Donald Trump, including executive orders, have delayed access to or led to the removal of crucial public health data sources in the USA. The continuous collection and maintenance of health data support public health, safety, and security associated with diseases such as seasonal influenza. To show how public health data surveillance enhances public health practice, we analysed data from seven US Government-maintained sources associated with seasonal influenza. We fit two models that forecast the number of national incident influenza hospitalisations in the USA: (1) a data-rich model incorporating data from all seven Government data sources; and (2) a data-poor model built using a single Government hospitalisation data source, representing the minimal required information to produce a forecast of influenza hospitalisations. The data-rich model generated reliable forecasts useful for public health decision making, whereas the predictions using the data-poor model were highly uncertain, rendering them impractical. Thus, health data can serve as a transparent and standardised foundation to improve domestic and global health. Therefore, a plan should be developed to safeguard public health data as a public good.

The Cloud Computing means change, a task that is not always easy from the point of view of businesses, even when this has numerous benefits (high scalability, cost reduction, on demand service, and other). However, companies can benefit with the migration of their applications to the cloud. With this, companies may have reduced costs, greater reliability in its business processes, helping in his growth. In our current reality, small and medium enterprises still afraid to perform this process. They fear the unknown. The focus of this work is to show that even small and medium-sized companies may have competitive advantages to migrate their applications to the cloud.
We propose a new type of generative model for high-dimensional data that learns a manifold geometry of the data, rather than density, and can generate points evenly along this manifold. This is in contrast to existing...
