• Great Duck Island [SMP04]. Szewczyk et al. have used two sensor patches, gateways, base station and satellite WAN link for their experiments. A gateway node interfaces a sensor patch to the base station and consists of a mote with 14dBi high gain yagi antenna (point-to-point, directional). The base station collects the data from the sensor patches in the database and makes the data available ...

A simple RNA isolation method based on hot borate and proteinase K was used to extract high-quality RNA from petals of daffodils (Narcissus pseudonarcissus L. 'Dutch Master'). The method was adapted from the isolation technique described by Wan and Wilkins (1994). A single isopropanol precipitation and ethanol wash replaced all the second day steps of the Wan and Wilkins procedure. The RNA isol...

In the broadcasting of ad hoc wireless networks, energy conservation is a critical issue. Three heuristic algorithms were proposed in Wieselthier et al. (2000) for finding approximate minimum-energy broadcast routings: MST(minimum spanning tree), SPT(shortest-path tree), and BIP(broadcasting incremental power). Wan et al. (2001) characterized their performance in terms of approximation ratios. ...

Metacomputing infrastructures couple multiple clusters (or MPPs) via wide-area networks and thus allow parallel programs to run on geographically distributed resources. A major problem in programming such wide-area parallel applications is the difference in communication costs inside and between clusters. Latency and bandwidth of WANs often are orders of magnitude worse than those of local netw...

Results The mothers demonstrated high scores regarding anxiety, either as a state (p=0.0001) or a trait (p=0.01) and symptoms of mild depression (10.28±7.60). As of the WOC, the fathers demonstrated lower scores in emphasizing the positive (p=0.004), whereas both parents demonstrated high scores of confrontable coping (p=0.0006 and p=0.02). Parents had a very satisfactory adherence to health pr...

Probablistic Model: We start with the assumption that prior to starting a sequence of experiments we have a family of random variables with means that vary linearly with respect to some deterministic independent variable. That is, there exist an intercept β0 and a slope β1 such that for each value of the independent variable x, we have a random variable Y with mean β0 + β1x. We are then given p...

Optimum controller placement in the presence of several conflicting objectives has received significant attention Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) deployment. Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, like Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) and Particle Swamp Optimization (MOPSO), have proved helpful solving Controller Placement Problem (CPP) SD-WAN. However, these a...
