The physiological mechanisms conduction, convection, and radiation exchange the heat energy in bi-directional routes between body temperature field. Metabolism evaporation are uni-directional for of energy. In metabolic process, creates internal energy, whereas loses excess through process maintains temperature. This study has shown steady unsteady state distribution three skin layers: epidermi...

• We connect technology strategy to organizational capability investigate MNE subsidiary upgrading in emerging markets. suggest strategies be delineated by subsidiaries’ manufacturing orientation (local or global) and knowledge transfer type (uni-directional multi-directional). outline four that subsidiaries markets pursue for process, product functional global value chains. This paper investig...

We investigate a driven diffusive lattice gas model with two oppositely moving species of particles. The model is motivated by bi-directional traffic of ants on a pre-existing trail. A third species, corresponding to pheromones used by the ants for communication, is not conserved and mediates interactions between the particles. Here we study the spatio-temporal organization of the particles. In...

A number of studies were conducted to determine how many transparent motion signals observers could simultaneously perceive. It was found that that the limit was two. However, observers required a signal intensity of about 42% in order to perceive a bi-directional transparent stimulus. This signal level was about three times that required to detect a uni-directional motion signal, and higher th...

Bi-directional shared tree is an efficient routing scheme for interactive multicast applications with multiple sources. Given the open-group IP multicast service model, it is important to support sender access control in order to prevent group members from receiving irrelevant data, and also to protect the multicast tree from Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. Compared with source specific and un...

Based on time-dependent travel times for N past days, we consider the computation of robust routes according to the min-max relative regret criterion. For this method we seek a path minimizing its maximum weight in any one of the N days, normalized by the weight of an optimum for the respective day. In order to speed-up this computationally demanding approach, we observe that its output belongs...

Strength, stiffness, strain at fracture and moisture content of onion skins were measured after incubation at a range of humidities. Higher relative humidity (RH) resulted in skins which had greater moisture content, were stronger in multi-directional tests and which were less stiff. In uni-directional tests, skins incubated at higher RH had extended more at fracture than those incubated at low...
