In this article, we present a binary location search based scalable routing protocol (BinLS) for ad hoc networks. It is completely distributed and based on a location management strategy that keeps the overhead of routing packets significantly small. The network is divided into some equal sized rectangular grid cells. Each node is assigned a home grid cell from where it starts its activity (tra...

Oscillations in the coordinated firing of brain neurons have been proposed to play important roles in perception, cognition, attention, learning, navigation, and sensory-motor control. The network theta rhythm has been associated with properties of spatial navigation, as has the firing of entorhinal grid cells and hippocampal place cells. Two recent studies reduced the theta rhythm by inactivat...

every year, with regard to rapid development of data, grid computing that is a kind of distributed computing system is that it has attracted the attention of most people and considerably taken into account. computing that cannot be done by huge computers can be performed by grid computing. if load balance is used, efficiency will increase in grid. resources have an important and effective role ...

reaching an electricity system which is both economically efficient and environmentally friendly is motivating countries to design and execute different types of tou demand response programs. but there are certain deficiencies which prevent these programs to effectively modify the load shape. smart grid as a means could help the electricity system to reach the highest demand side management ...

We study generalizations of the high-resolution wave propagation algorithm for the approximation of hyperbolic conservation laws on irregular grids that have a time step restriction based on a reference grid cell length that can be orders of magnitude larger than the smallest grid cell arising in the discretization. This Godunov-type scheme calculates fluxes at cell interfaces by solving Rieman...

The paper describes a battery storage unit for small DC micro-grids based on a multi-cell topology. The system consists of a series arrangement of lead-acid type battery cells where each cell is equipped with an individual DC-DC buck converter located directly at the battery terminals. For minimizing the output ripple the cells are operated in interleaved PWM mode. With this the cell-to-cell wi...

Consider a small group of mobile agents whose goal is to locate a certain cell in a two-dimensional infinite grid. The agents operate in an asynchronous environment, where in each discrete time step, an arbitrary subset of the agents execute one atomic look-compute-move cycle. The protocol controlling each agent is determined by a (possibly distinct) finite automaton. The only means of communic...

orography plays a substantial role in the formation and evolution of many atmospheric phenomena. observations indicate that two mountain ranges to the southwest of the red sea and west of iran (zagross mountain range) play a crucial role in the formation, evolution and activities of synoptic weather systems over iran. observations also, indicate that there are considerable differences between t...

Ongoing efforts to link patterns of neural activity to cognition and behavior entail the use of an impressive range of techniques, from single-cell recording to functional magnetic resonance imaging. Recent discoveries in systems neuroscience, highlighted in this issue's Neurobiology Select, include evidence that humans use grid cells for spatial navigation and a report linking small variations...
