Objective: This research aimed at evaluating the moderator role of school connection on the impact of violent friends towards aggressive behaviors in adolescent students of Tehran high schools. Methods: A sample of 3529 participants from Tehran high school students was selected using multistage sampling method. Participants completed school connection questionnaire (SCQ), Iranian adolescents...

This paper compares different approaches which provide guaranteed assurance to connection-oriented group communications based on the use of working and backup disjoint route sets. Specifically, we present experimental results showing the effect of disjoint backup route sets on mesh/tree/ring: (1) feasibility and (2) cost.

1. An overview of the problem My aim is to trace the thinking-in-change (Noss & Hoyles, 1996) during the co-ordination of two epistemologically distinct faces of distribution. By co-ordination here, I refer to the connection between a data-centric perspective on distribution, which identifies distribution as an aggregated set of actual outputs, and a modelling perspective on distribution, which...

This review intuitively explains the fundamental trade-offs of repeated and equalized electrical interconnects for on-chip networks as referencing counterparts of emerging nanophotonic interconnects in terms of data rate density, energy per bit, and latency. We also review the current stateof-the-art electrical interconnects from literature.

Boolean Contact Algebras (BCA) establish the algebraic counterpart of the mereotopolopy induced by the Region Connection Calculus. Similarly, Stonian p-ortholattices serve as a lattice theoretic version of the onthology RT− of Asher and Vieu. In this paper we study the relationship between BCAs and Stonian p-ortholattices. We show that the skeleton of every Stonian p-ortholattice is a BCA, and,...
