The Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) is a simple and efficient routing protocol designed specifically for use in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks of mobile nodes. DSR allows the network to be completely self-organizing and self-configuring, without the need for any existing network infrastructure or administration. The protocol is composed of the two main mechanisms of "Route Discovery" ...

The Schoeller model for calculating rate of CO2 production (rCO2) from doubly labeled water (DLW) relies on the assumption that deuterium and oxygen-18 overestimate body water by 4 and 1%, respectively. However, the deuterium-to-oxygen-18 dilution space ratio (DSR) varies considerably, and it is unknown whether this is due to analytical or biological sources. From 161 published values in adult ...

An Ad Hoc network is an infrastructure less wireless network consisting of mobile moving nodes. In a network each mobile node act as a router as well as packet forwarder. Nodes in a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) have limited battery power. Power consumption of network interfaces can be significant. In a MANET, if a mobile node continuously transmitting the data packets, more battery power consu...

BACKGROUND The Dominant-Submissive Relationship (DSR) model used here was developed for mood stabilizing and antidepressant drug testing. Treatment of submissive animals with known antidepressants significantly reduced submissive behavior in a dose-dependent manner. We hypothesized that if submissive behavior in DSR is a valid model of depression, it should be possible to show a genetic predisp...

Embedding gamified charity into digital social responsibility (DSR) programs has stimulated customers to behave in prosocial and pro-environment ways daily life. Prior studies on customer outcomes of corporate (CSR) have yielded fragmented findings an offline environment. To reap the maximum returns DSR, this study deconstructs sustainable engagement DSR external outcomes, including citizenship...

PURPOSE Erosions and osteophytes are radiographic characteristics that are found in different stages of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis. This study assessed the effectiveness of digital subtraction radiography (DSR) in diagnosing simulated osteophytes and erosions in the TMJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five intact, dry human skulls were used to assess the effectiveness of DSR in detec...

This study analyzed the efficacy and safety of the "drip, ship, and retrieve (DSR)" approach used to improve patient access to thrombectomy for acute stroke. METHODS The study participants were 45 patients who underwent thrombectomy following intravenous tissue plasminogen activator between September 2013 and August 2015. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they were tr...

BACKGROUND Decline in verbal episodic memory is a core feature of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). The delayed story recall (DSR) test from the Adult Memory and Information Processing Battery (AMIPB) discriminates MCI from normal aging and predicts its conversion to Alzheimer's dementia. However, there is no study that validates the Chinese version of the DSR and reports cut-off score...

For Design Science Research (DSR) to gain wide credence as a research paradigm in Information Systems (IS), it must contribute to theory. “Theory cannot be improved until we improve the theorizing process, and we cannot improve the theorizing process until we describe it more explicitly, operate it more self-consciously, and decouple it from validation more deliberately” (Weick 1989, p. 516). W...

We describe firstly the basic features of quantum κ-Poincaré symmetries with their Hopf algebra structure. The quantum κ-Poincaré framework in any basis relates rigidly the quantum κ-Poincaré algebra with quantum κ-Poincaré group, noncommutative space-time and κ-deformed phase space. Further we present the approach of Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) theories, which introduce (in the version DSR...
