Pulling the plug on ad hoc critical incident training

Reproductive Evolution: Pulling the Plug on Selection

Hermaphroditism leads to reduced sexual selection and can result in the retention of deleterious mutations. A new study characterizes one such mutation that results in male-male copulation in nematodes, while also implicating a previously undescribed source of chemical signaling.

Are You "Pulling the Plug" or "Pushing Up the Daisies"?

We are becoming more and more dependent upon a broad range of more or less ubiquitous communication technologies, and these are increasingly integrated with our PCs. The more connected we become, the more important it is that we pro-actively manage our communication patterns. If not, we risk being forced to either temporarily disconnecting ourselves from communicating, or spend all our time try...

Composing ad-hoc applications on ad-hoc networks using MUI

The MUI framework supports composition of ad-hoc applications from services available on ad-hoc networked devices. MUI is an openended framework, relying on migrating user interfaces and standardized data formats for connecting services, allowing existing devices to be connected to new devices without needing any pre-defined knowledge of their services. We illustrate the benefits of the approac...

The Critical Mass Problem of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

Mobile ad-hoc networks have become increasingly popular in the last years and promise a huge potential for the future. Ad-hoc networks allow users to communicate without a fixed network infrastructure, thus are interesting for many mobile communication scenarios. Multi-hop ad-hoc networks extend the communication range of individual nodes with the help of ad-hoc routing protocols. Many research...
