In this paper, we extend previous work on geographic random forwarding (GeRaF) by considering a more efficient paradigm whereby on/off cycles are exploited and every node can participate to packet relaying, as long as it wakes up during any handshake procedure. The protocol is fully distributed, as routing decisions are made hop by hop based on geographic metrics and using a joint channel acces...

in this study, the turbulent kinetic energy redistribution process is investigated. to this aim, the direct numerical simulation (dns) of incompressible flow of a newtonian fluid through a channel at a shear reynolds number of reτ = 180 is used to produce a flow data base. then, these data are statistically analyzed. the turbulent kinetic energy redistribution is studied using the pressure-stra...

Discrete event simulation is used to model, study, plan, and improve systems in which random events play a dominant role. These systems are often driven by complicated mathematical and logical relationships, making it impossible to derive an analytical solution. The journal OR/MS Today cites simulation software as one of the most widely used tools in operations research, due in part to its appl...

The theory of the dielectric cone antenna has been known since the early seventies. On their own, this antenna has a reasonably circular symmetric radiation pattern but exhibits an undesirably high side-lobe level. A properly designed metallic shield, which does not interfere with the field structure of the dielectric cone, may be used to reduce the side-lobe level. Although in principle this a...

In this paper we present some theoretical results of the possibilities for controlling a given chaotic system using the (occasional proportional feedback) OPF method. It is usually claimed that the OPF method can be used only if the return map is almost one{dimensional and that the OPF control lacks a theoretical background for the choice of the feedback gain. We show how to nd the gain value f...
