In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid strategy that combines mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation with different alternative routing approaches is capable of solving, simultaneously, the routing, modulation format and spectrum assignment problem in design elastic optical networks. We extend our proposal to path-link that, although it not guaranteed find optimal solution, has s...

Abstract— A Cognitive radio is multi dimensionally aware and autonomous system that learns from its experience to plan its future operation. This communication system focuses on dynamic spectrum usage rather than fixed spectrum assignment. Through NETSIM version7, performance of spectrum sensing in terms of data traffic is shown, by varying number of incumbents and number of operational interva...

Lorrie Henderson, PhD, is Chief Clinical Officer, ChildHelp, Scottsdale, AZ. The purpose of this pilot study was to establish a model for randomized controlled trial research, identify appropriate outcome measures, and address the effectiveness of sensory integration (SI) interventions in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Children ages 6–12 with ASD were randomly assigned to a fine...
