in this paper two nodes to model isotropic and anisotropic media in transmission line matrix method (tlm) are presented. by using these two nodes, the permeability and permittivity of an anisotropic media can be modeled simultaneously. another application of these nodes is in modeling media with permittivity and permeability less than one. in the conventional 2 dimensional tlm, the stubs repres...

designing wireless sensor networks should meet appropriate parameters such as quality of service (qos) defined by different users. the variable physical conditions of the environment, processing and transmission power limitations and limited communication capabilities are the most important obstacles that influence qos parameters such as throughput, delay, reliability and network lifetime. the ...

To determine whether relocating domestic pigs, the amplifying host of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), decreased the risk for JEV transmission to humans in northern Australia, we collected mosquitoes for virus detection. Detection of JEV in mosquitoes after pig relocation indicates that pig relocation did not eliminate JEV risk.

In this paper we tackle the problem of the optimal relocation policy for a firm that faces two types of uncertainty: one about the moments in which new (and more efficient) sites will become available; and the other regarding the degree of efficiency improvement inherent to each one of these new, yet to be known, potential location places. In particular, we derive results concerning the expecte...
