Aiming at the problem of limited energy of sensors in Wireless Sensor Network, based on the classic clustering routing algorithm LEACH, a distance-energy cluster structure algorithm considering both the distance and residual energy of nodes is presented, which improves the process of cluster head election and the process of data transmission. This protocol can successfully prolong the network’s...

We study the B 0 s − B 0 s mixing amplitude in Standard Model by computing the relevant hadronic matrix element in the static limit of lattice HQET with the Neuberger light quark action. In the quenched approximation, and after matching to the MS scheme in QCD, we obtain B MS B s (m b) = 0.940(16)(22). c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCom...

Disease prevalence and seasonal outbreaks are challenging the poultry industry in Ethiopia. Proper sustainable implementation of biosecurity practices is important to reverse such problems. This study was conducted commercial farms two zones Ethiopia investigate farm characteristics, practices, status (BS) using a structured questionnaire. The variables were grouped into three factors, includin...

Each EEG performed over a 3 year period at the University of Michigan with a diagnosis of generalized burst-suppression (BS) was reviewed. Ten EEGs from 10 patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE-BS) and 21 records from 8 patients with pentobarbital induced burst-suppression for treatment of status epilepticus (SE-BS) were reviewed. For each EEG, the mean duration of 40 interburst in...

Pluronic/bile salt/phospholipid mixed micelles (Pluronic/BS/PS-MM) drug carrier system for solubilization hydrophobic drugs was developed. A typical hydrophobic compound, pyrene, was selected as a representative hydrophobic compound to model the hydrophobic drugs. Five Pluronics, F68, F88, F98, F108, and F127 with different PPO chain length were studied. CMC data and solubilization capacities w...

Wireless sensor nodes are typically powered by non-rechargeable batteries and deployed in an area of interest to supervise or monitor various phenomena (temperature, pressure, humidity...). So, constrained energy is the most important feature of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In WSNs, saving energy and extending network lifetime are great challenges. Clustering is a key technique used to opti...

Contemporary prognostic equations in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) derived from US and French cohorts may not perform as well in the UK as a locally derived scoring scheme. The aim of the study was to develop and validate a UK risk score to predict prognosis in PAH. Baseline mortality predictors identified by multivariate Cox analysis in 182 incident PAH patients were used to derive the...

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during Kharif-II season 2005 to investigate the effect of row spacing and cultivars on the growth and yield of soybean. Three soybean cultivars: (1) Bangladesh Soybean -4 (G2), (2) BARI soybean -5 (BS-5) and (3) Shohag (PB-1) and four row spacings, (1) 20 cm, (2) 30 cm, (3) 40 cm and (...
