 :::► Dictionary of Meaning www.mauspfeil.net ◄:::
The behaviorism behaviorist psychology psychologist B.F. Skinner placed a series of hungry pigeons in a cage attached to an automatic mechanism that delivered food to the pigeon "at regular intervals with no reference whatsoever to the bird's behavior".
He discovered that the pigeons associated the delivery of the food with whatever chance actions they had been performing as it was delivered, and that they continued to perform the same actions: :One bird was conditioned to turn counter-clockwise about the cage, making two or three turns between reinforcements.
("'Superstition' in the Pigeon", B.F. Skinner, ''Journal of Experimental Psychology'' #38, 1947 [http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Skinner/Pigeon/]) Skinner suggested that the pigeons believed that they were influencing the automatic mechanism with their "rituals" and that the experiment also shed light on human behavior: :The experiment might be said to demonstrate a sort of superstition.

DNA analysis using the foot of the Dodo and the thigh bone of the Rodrigues Solitaire has recently confirmed that the Dodo and the Rodrigues Solitaire were, as expected, each others closest relative.
More surprisingly, the research suggested that these birds were much closer taxonomically to the true pigeons than previously thought, and were particularly close to the Nicobar Pigeon, Caloenus nicobarica.

Genetic material has been recovered from these and its analysis has confirmed that the Dodo was a close relative of pigeon species that are to be found in Africa and especially South Asia.
The other family, the Columbidae, consists of all pigeon and dove species.
However, rather than belonging to a separate family from the Dove pigeons, the DNA results showed that the Dodo and Solitaire actually belong inside the pigeon family, and most closely related to the Nicobar Pigeon, ''Caloenus nicobarica''.

 Zvon - RFC 3708 [Using TCP Duplicate Selective Acknowledgement (DSACKs) and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) ...
When the purpose of detecting spurious retransmissions is to "undo" unnecessary changes made to the congestion control state, as suggested in [RFC2883], the data sender ideally needs to determine: (a) That spurious retransmissions in a particular window of data do not mask real segment loss (congestion).
Note that some techniques to further disambiguate network duplication from unnecessary retransmission (e.g., the TCP timestamp option [RFC1323]) may be used to refine the algorithm in this document further.
Using such a technique in conjunction with an algorithm similar to the one presented herein may allow for the continued use of the algorithm in the face of duplicated segments.
