Mathew Vangel- Advanced Technology R&D Engineer/Medical Researcher
Technology Background
Currently I am working with the U.S. Army- Air Force on technology based solutions
My interest in technology started in 1975 at Old Rochester Regional High School
in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts. I started working on Teletype Terminals 
with punch tapes, and those fun HeathKit® Projects
in my electronics classes. Hobbies such as amateur radio
(KA1THM)
using digital communications (TCP/IP) for
community service became a natural transition. Through amateur radio I
became involved with Global
Positioning Systems (GPS), which has led me to donate and train law
enforcement/rescue personnel in the Northeast. My early engineering years
comprised of implementing AppleTalk® Networks, designing Optic Data Networks
for the U.S. Navy in Submarine Combat Control Systems, and now Optical Bandwidth
Routing (DWDM) in Optical Ethernet Solutions. Another recent interest has been medical research and testing in the fields of Endocrinology and
infectious
diseases relating to first responders, law enforcement, rescue, and Imported Japanese Koi Fish. I am now a licensed medical researcher
in the state of Massachusetts, which has allowed me to study in the research libraries
at Harvard, and the Boston Medical Hospital site.

USENET
is a global, distributed Internet discussion system that evolved from a general
purpose UUCP network of the same name. It was conceived by Duke
University graduate students Tom
Truscott and Jim
Ellis in 1979. Users read and post e-mail-like
messages (called "articles") to a number of distributed newsgroups,
categories that resemble bulletin
board systems in most respects. The medium is distributed among a large
number of servers, which store and forward messages to one another.
Usenet
is one of the oldest computer
network communications systems still in widespread use. It was established
in 1980, following experiments from the previous year, over a decade before the World
Wide Web was introduced and the general public got access to the Internet.
It was originally conceived as a "poor man's ARPANET,"
employing UUCP to
offer mail and file transfers, as well as announcements through the newly
developed news
software. This system, developed at University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke
University, was called USENET to emphasize its creators' hope that the USENIX
organization would take an active role in its operation (Daniel et al,
1980).
The
articles that users post to Usenet are organized into topical categories called newsgroups,
which are themselves logically organized into hierarchies of subjects. For
instance, sci.math
and sci.physics
are within the sci
hierarchy, for science.
When a user subscribes to a newsgroup, the news
client software keeps track of which articles that user has read.
In
most newsgroups, the majority of the articles are responses to some other
article. The set of articles which can be traced to one single non-reply article
is called a thread.
Most modern newsreaders display the articles arranged into threads and sub-threads,
making it easy to follow a single discussion in a high-volume newsgroup.
When
a user posts an article, it is initially only available on that user's news
server. Each news server, however, talks to one or more other servers (its
"newsfeeds") and exchanges articles with them. In this fashion, the
article is copied from server
to server and (if all goes well) eventually reaches every server in the
network. The later peer-to-peer
networks operate on a similar principle; but for Usenet it is normally the
sender, rather than the receiver, who initiates transfers. Some have noted that
this seems a monstrously inefficient protocol in the era of abundant high-speed
network access. Usenet was designed for a time when networks were much slower,
and not always available. Many sites on the original Usenet network would
connect only once or twice a day to batch-transfer messages in and out.
In
the early times, many articles posted a notice at the end disclosing if the
author was free of, or had any financial motive, or axe to grind, in posting
about any product or issue. That was back when the community was the pioneering
computer society.
Usenet
has significant cultural importance in the networked world, having given rise
to, or popularized, many widely recognized concepts and terms such as "FAQ"
and "spam."
