In this paper, we propose an architecture of name service system which can provide mobile nodes in IPv6 mobile ad-hoc network with the name-to-address resolution and service discovery. Because mobile ad-hoc network has dynamic topology, the current DNS is not appropriate to name service in mobile ad-hoc network. We suggest the design and implementation of name service system suitable for the mo...

The problem for dynamic IP address assignment is manifest in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), especially in 4G all-IP-based heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a ring-based address autoconfiguration protocol to configure node addresses. This work aims at the decentralized ring-based address autoconfiguration (DRAA) protocol, which has the capability to perform low latency and whos...

In heterogeneous networks, femtocells are introduced to improve the network capacity. However, dense deployment of femtocells leads to undesirable interference, which degrades the performance of the system. Controlling the femtocell transmission power is one of the factors that can be considered to alleviate undesirable effect of the interference. Also, it can be used to support auto-configurat...

A new method is proposed for recovering 3D human poses in video sequences taken from a single uncalibrated camera. This is achieved by exploiting two important constraints observed from human bipedal motion: coplanarity of body key points during the mid-stance position and the presence of a foot on the ground – i.e. static foot during most activities. Assuming 2D joint locations have been extra...

livestock are an integral part of the agriculture sector and encompass a great impact on the national economy. an eco-friendly alternative to enhance production, prevent and treat disease conditions of animal is a great challenge for animal nutritionists. keeping farm animals healthy is necessary to obtain healthy animal products. the use of naturally occurring compounds like herbs, herbal prep...

reaction constants and heat release during thermophilic aerobic digestion of typical secondary and mixed sludges were determined. maximum reaction constant, determined by measuring the amounts of biodegradable volatile suspended solids (bvss) removed, occurred in the temperature range of 55-60 ºc. measurement of heat releases were carried out, at the same range, by the aid of a temperature prog...

anaerobic digestion of organic solid waste (osw) from kitchen was conducted in completely stirred tank reactors (cstrs) under both mesophilic and thermophilic conditions. the lab-scale reactors were fed with the osw containing 10% of total solids (ts) at a hydraulic retention time (hrt) of 30 days (3.0-3.5 g-ts/l/d of volumetric loading rate). both mesophilic and thermophilic reactors exhibited...

anaerobic digestion is the breakdown of biodegradable organic material by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen or in an oxygen-starved environment.this technology is superior to the landfilling and also the aerobic composting. the aim of the present study was to examine whether the effluent volatile fatty acids from the anaerobic acidogenesis of the food waste can be used du to its high valu...

Anaerobic digestion of dairy cow manure (CM), the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW), and cotton gin waste (CGW) was investigated with a two-phase pilot-scale anaerobic digestion (AD) system. The OFMSW and CM were digested as single wastes and as combined wastes. The single waste digestion of CM resulted in 62m3 methane/ton of CM on dry weight basis. The single waste digestion of...

automobile body plays crucial role in preventing the collision energy transfer in severe accidents to the passengers. if the collision energy is dissipated or saved in bumper or chassis, the amount of damage to the occupants would be minimized. using novel laminated panel (fiber metal laminate) in auto body, and considering the characteristics such as high energy absorption, strength, high dent...
