In the broadcasting problem, one node needs to broadcast a message to all other nodes in a network. If nodes can only communicate with one neighbour at a time, broadcasting takes at least ⌈log2 N⌉ rounds in a network of N nodes. In the neighbourhood broadcasting problem, the node that is broadcasting only needs to inform its neighbours. In a binary hypercube with N nodes, each node has log2 N n...

In the broadcasting problem, one node needs to broadcast a message to all other nodes in a network. If nodes can only communicate with one neighbour at a time, broadcasting takes at least "log2 N# rounds in a network of N nodes. In the neighbourhood broadcasting problem, the node that is broadcasting only needs to inform its neighbours. In a binary hypercube with N nodes, each node has log2 N n...

Hydrosol is a side product of essential oil extraction from plants. In this study, the effect of various ratios (5-100 %v/v) of cinnamon hydrosol replacement in the formulation of edible gelatin films was investigated. Physical properties were evaluated and the antibacterial properties of gelatin films against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Staphyl...

Harmonic broadcasting was introduced by Juhn and Tseng in 1997 as a way to reduce the bandwidth requirements required for video-on-demand broadcasting. In this correspondence, we note that harmonic broadcasting is actually a special case of the priority encoded transmission scheme introduced by Albanese et al. in 1996 and prove—using an information theoretic argument—that it is impossible to ac...

We present a new video broadcasting protocol called the scalable preloading broadcast protocol. This protocol provides cost effective access times to viewers by using a scalable preloading method. The new protocol reduces the video stream management complexity as well as the required broadcasting bandwidth. To demonstrate the benefit of new protocol, we perform various simulations to compare it...

the effect of enzymatic treatment time of microbial transglutaminase (mtgase) on the characteristics of whey protein isolate (wpi) films was investigated. results shown that the properties of mtgase-treated films were affected by increasing the enzymatic treatment time. enzymatic treatment at lower incubation time, i.e. for 1 h, significantly resulted in higher values of tensile strength (ts) a...

An experiment examined the effects of imagining contact with an illegal immigrant on attitudes towards illegal immigrants and subsequent effects of that attitude change on feelings about other groups (secondary transfer). Compared to a condition in which participants imagined negative contact with an illegal immigrant, participants who imagined positive contact reported more positive attitudes ...

Synthesis of ZnO nanostructures films by a co-precipitation followed by the deposition processed onto a glass substrate by spin-coating technique was carried out. The effect of annealing temperatures (from 250 to 325 °C for 30 min) on the structural and optical properties of the ZnO films have been investigated. The structural studies reveal that ZnO films are polycrystalline with hexagonal wur...
