A wireless ad hoc network is a notable type of network in which a collection of mobile nodes with wireless network interfaces may form a temporary network, without use of any fixed infrastructure or centralized control. The Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) is a efficient routing protocol explicitly designed for multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks of mobile nodes. A connected dominating set ...

Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are a common cause of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy and are caused by disruptions in the normal development of the cerebral cortex. Several causative genes have been identified in patients with MCD. There is increasing evidence of role of de novo mutations, including those occurring post fertilization, in MCD. These somatic mutations may not ...

Connected Dominating Set is popularly used for constructing virtual backbones for broadcasting operation in WSNs. UD Graph is the most suitable model for a wireless sensor network. In this paper we provide an algorithm to find MCDS in UD Graph. It is based on the computation of convex hulls of sensor nodes or vertices. Constructing a virtual backbone in WSNs is an important issue because it red...

We study the effect of fixed clock frequency offsets on the performance of multicarrier direct-sequence CDMA (MCDS-CDMA) for both uplink and downlink communication, assuming orthogonal spreading sequences. We show that for both uplink and downlink MC-DS-CDMA, the performance in the presence of a clock frequency offset rapidly degrades with an increasing number of carriers. It turns out that thi...

Abstract. The need for highly accurate atmospheric wind observations is a high priority in the science community, particularly numerical weather prediction (NWP). To address this need, study leverages Aeolus lidar level-2B data provided by European Space Agency (ESA) as potential comparison standard to better characterize motion vector (AMV) bias and uncertainty. AMV products from geostationary...

Metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, Schmid type (MCDS) is characterized by mild short stature and growth plate hypertrophic zone expansion, and caused by collagen X mutations. We recently demonstrated the central importance of ER stress in the pathology of MCDS by recapitulating the disease phenotype by expressing misfolding forms of collagen X (Schmid) or thyroglobulin (Cog) in the hypertrophic zone...

Epilepsy affects 65 million people worldwide, a third of whom have seizures that are resistant to anti-epileptic medications. Some of these patients may be amenable to surgical therapy or treatment with implantable devices, but this usually requires delineation of discrete structural or functional lesion(s), which is challenging in a large percentage of these patients. Advances in neuroimaging ...

Circuits with delay elements are very popular and important in the simulation of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) systems. Neutral systems (NSs) with multiple constant delays (MCDs), for example, can be used to model the partial element equivalent circuits (PEECs), which are widely used in high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) analysis. In this paper, the model order reduction (MOR) problem fo...
