of food and locality. Chilean populations of D. funebris are good to investigate the role of Drosophila breeding sites in isolation between populations and our understanding of the speciation process in animal species.

This paper experimentally validates the efficiency of Cooperative Automatic Retransmission reQuest (C-ARQ) versus traditional ARQ protocols in terms of delay, throughput, and energy consumption. We report on our development of a testbed for obtaining these results, which is based on OpenMAC, a platform we have designed for rapid prototyping of MAC algorithms. With this work we demonstrate that ...

In this study, the authors present a novel design framework aimed at developing ‘cooperative diversity’ in 802.11-based wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme is a combination of a time-reversed space-time block code scheme at the physical layer and a cooperative routing protocol at the network layer. The core feature of this architecture is that the multiple routes are capable of assist...

In this game two players act in the class of mixed strategies and the third player acts in the class of pure strategies. The suggested approach for building dynamics uses the principle of non-decrease of players’ payoffs, various behavior types for players and some special procedure of using Nash equilibria in auxiliary games. Cooperative variant of this procedure is proposed. As an example, th...

We discuss the relationship between bosonic stimulation, density fluctuations, and matter wave gratings. It is shown that enhanced stimulated scattering, matter wave amplification, and atomic four-wave mixing do not require macroscopic occupation of a single quantum state. These processes are in principle possible for fermionic or nondegenerate samples, if they are prepared in a cooperative sta...

Abstract The principle of fairness is a moral which states that individuals are under an obligation to contribute towards beneficial cooperative projects. It has been appealed in arguing citizens obligated pay for public goods their government supplies. Yet the faced number powerful objections, most notably those Robert Nozick. In responding some these proponents have placed conditions on its a...

Aimed at increasing people’s mobility, the Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) paradigm postulates that all modes of transport, and their means, are interconnected operations synchronized in time. This principle is also imposed on C-ITS infrastructures as well services provided by solutions. All these inevitably require interconnectivity interoperability among hard soft compo...

Abstract   Vertical cooperative (co-op) advertising is typically a cost sharing mechanism and coordinated effort by the channel’s members in order to increase demand and overall profits. In this marketing strategy, the manufacturer shares a fraction of the retailer’s advertising investment. This paper studies the advertising and pricing decisions in a retailer-manufacturer supply chain in which...

Reading comprehension has recently been reconceptualized in EFL reading instruction to foreground the importance of putting a social perspective on learning. Developed as a crucial aspect of Vygotskian sociocultural theory, activity theory views reading as a socially-mediated activity, for which the prerequisite cognitive processes are distributed among teacher, individual reader, other student...
