The cooling channel of the CERN reference scenario [1] for a possible neutrino factory [2] requires an approximately 200 m long lattice, which provides solenoidal magnetic fields plus longitudinal electric fields at the same time. The electric real estate field gradient along the structure shall be 2 MV/m at 44 MHz, or 4 MV/m at 88 MHz, respectively. The CERN approach incorporates the solenoids...

The goal of this paper was to conduct an empirical study on the effects of leadership-corruption on the development of Nigeria. The study is model two theories; the idealistic theory and the anomie theory. The study sought among others: to ascertain the relationship between leadership corruption and development in Nigeria. To assess the extent to which leadership corruption affects service deli...

Granulated Sugar A. R. N E E S 1 The users of sugar, especially the commercial users, are making increased demands for sugars of various types based on grain size. Some candy makers want coarse sugar because it handles bet ter in their kettles, bakers want fine sugar because it creams more easily in cake batter, and many housewives want an intermediate size which is neither coarse nor fine. If ...

This paper presents a design theory, an explanation why to use a particular structure for the design of socio-technical systems. This theory was created from merging argumentation theory and reflective thinking. After highlighting the relevant attributes of these, the paper goes on to demonstrate three different ways this design theory has been applied in practice. The dialectic of argument and...

Success of Wireless Sensor Networks largely depends whether the deployed network can provide desired coverage with acceptable network lifetime. This paper proposes a distributed protocol for ensuring area coverage using a combination of mobile and static sensor nodes. Most of the assumptions made in our approach are realistic (sensing model, movement thresholds based on real radio characteristi...

Objective: To determine marital satisfaction and its influencing factors among fertile and infertile women in Shahroud. Materials and methods: In this comparative study, 1528 participants (511 infertile and1017 fertile women) were evaluated using Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale. Data were analyzed using chi-square and t-test. Results: A total of 1402 participants (78.7%) had high marital sati...

It has been shown that optimization of wireless network operations can be achieved by transmission power control of wireless nodes. Controlling the transmission power is mostly performed as a regulation of the final power amplifier, which is the major power sink. Depending on the desired transmission power level, currently popular amplifiers work at different levels of efficiency: highest in ca...

AJ Cronin (1896-1981) was a Scottish-born doctor-turned-novelist whose most famous novel is The Citadel, published in 1937. The book describes the struggles of an idealistic young doctor working in Wales and London in the 1920s and 30s. The novel was a global bestseller and its portrayal of a largely ineffective, corruption-ridden system of healthcare is thought to have directly influenced the ...

Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) is a wireless ad hoc network that intends to provide communication between pair of nodes in spite of having intermittent connectivity and long delays. The nodes are buffer and energy constrained. To provide communication in such scenario, a sturdy routing mechanism is needed. In this paper we propose a new routing technique based on fuzzy logic for intermittently co...
