The edge of the Internet is increasingly becoming wireless. Understanding the wireless edge is therefore important for understanding the performance and security aspects of the Internet experience. This need is especially necessary for enterprise-wide wireless localarea networks (WLANs) as organizations increasingly depend on WLANs for missioncritical tasks. To study a live production WLAN, esp...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The major complication of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) is posterior capsule opacification (PCO). Posterior continuous circular capsulorhexis (PCCC) seems to be very promising in preventing PCO. This study was aimed at determining if the PCCC area changes as a function of time and if pearl formation could influence it. METHODS 24 eyes of 23 patients underwent ECCE w...

The Census Bureau is considering the replacement of the decennial census long form for the collection of the sample data with a continuous survey. The Continuous Measurement Survey (CMS) is designed to provide yearly estimates for large areas and multiyear averages for small areas. This will provide timely estimates for large areas that are currently produced only every ten years from the decen...

In this research, leaf area prediction model was developed for some leaf-used maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars namely Coluna, Luce, Maveric, Ranchero, TTM-813, Zamora and RX-788 grown in Black Sea region of Turkey. Lamina width, length and leaf area were measured without destroying the leaf to develop the models. The actual leaf areas of the plants were measured by PLACOM Digital Planimeter and mu...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether a cheap, fast, easy, and widely available photographic method is an accurate alternative to Visitrak when measuring wound area in cases where a non-wound-contact method is desirable. METHODS The areas of 40 surgically created wounds on porcine models were measured using 2 techniques-Visitrak and photography combined with ImageJ. The wounds were photographed wi...

Disaster areas are a typical usage scenario for mobile wireless communication systems (e.g. ad-hoc networks). Performance evaluation in mobile wireless communication systems is mainly done using simulation. Simulation results strongly depend on the traffic models used. Today, the traffic mainly used in disaster areas is voice traffic. In this paper, we present measurements of voice traffic done...

How can a mobile robot measure the area of a closed region that is beyond its immediate sensing range? This problem, which we name as blind area measurement, is inspired from scout worker ants who assess potential nest cavities. We first review the insect studies that have shown that these scouts, who work in dark, seem to assess arbitrary closed spaces and reliably reject nest sites that are s...

A noninvasive measurement of pharyngeal cross-sectional area (CSA) during sleep would be advantageous for research studies. We hypothesized that CSA could be calculated from the measured pharyngeal pressure and flow by finite element analysis (FEA). The retropalatal airway was visualized by using a fiber-optic scope to obtain the measured CSA (mCSA). Flow was measured with a pneumotachometer, a...

In this research, we propose an architectural solution to integrate the video voice over IP (V2oIP) services in campus environment network and tested over LAN and WAN. Voice over IP (VoIP) technology has become a discussion issue for this time being. Today, the deployment of this technology on an organization truly can give a great financial benefit over traditional telephony. Therefore, this s...
