The proper design of RTO systems’ structure and critical diagnosis tools is neglected in commercial RTO software and poorly discussed in the literature. In a previous article, Quelhas et al. (Can J Chem Eng., 2013, 91, 652–668) have reviewed the concepts behind the two-step RTO approach and discussed the vulnerabilities of intuitive, experience-based RTO design choices. This work evaluates and ...

With the increasing popularity public key infrastructures have been acquiring in recent years and the legislative support for digital signatures, electronic voting protocols are moving from a strictly research area to the commercial arena. In this paper we examine the role public key infrastructures play in electronic voting in various protocols proposed in the literature, some of which are the...

In mobile networks, Location Area (LA) planning has a strong influence on network performance. This paper addresses the problem of optimising an existing LA plan in a live GSMEDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) based on statistical measurements. Unlike prior work, where the quality of an LA plan was assessed based on the number of location update and paging requests, the main focus in this paper ...

Improving the recovery capabilities of the tennis athlete is receiving more emphasis in the research communities, and also by practitioners (coaches, physical trainers, tennis performance specialists, physical therapists, etc). The purpose of this article was to review areas of recovery to limit the severity of fatigue and/or speed recovery from fatigue. This review will cover four broad recove...

Technology scaling in microelectronics has reached limits that are resulting in increasing variation in component design and performance characteristics. Chips and systems comprising of such components are starting to exhibit a rise in process-induced failures and soft errors. Conventional design time solutions such as conservative guardbands to hide such variations are increasingly not viable ...

the aim of this research was to determine the effects of carbohydrate and branched chain amino acid supplements consumption in recovery period on secretion of insulin and preserving the performance of wrestlers. for this purpose, 21 wrestlers in zanjan team (mean age: 20.07?1.93 years, height: 171?5.37 cm, weight: 65.38?6.39 kg, vo2max: 65.73?3.94 ml/kg/min and insulin before bruce test: 14.13?...

A critical component of disaster recovery planning is testing, which involves verification of the effectiveness of the DR solutions. Currently, there are several limitations that plagues disaster testing efforts such as the inability to create realistic disaster scenarios and test them in a production environment. Cyber Range Concept of Operations (CONOPS) presents an opportunity for overcoming...

The Eager, Lazy and Movement-based strategies are used in mobile computing system when handoff. They result in performance loss while moving the whole checkpoint on fault-free or slow recovery while not moving any checkpoint until recovery. In the paper, a compromise strategy is proposed. The whole recovery information are broken into two parts, which one little part with high-priority should b...
