Introduction: Firefighting requires the performance of many physically demanding tasks which can place firefighter at risk injury. Firefighters will often continue to work despite being injured. Depending on number injuries and their location, certain physical could be affected. The aim this study was determine differences in fitness test relative injury location between uninjured structural fi...

Due to the lack of air and traffic monitoring data in China, this study employed a remote sensing (RS) system quality sensors investigate pollutant concentrations, profiles meteorological order characterize roadside concentrations identify their influence factors for major road Lanzhou. The results suggested that temporal variations SO 2 , NO PM 2.5 10 CO peaked at 5:00-7:00 while O 3 17:00. po...

At the Calibration Laboratory of IPEN/CNEN-SP (LCI) several radiation qualities were established, and they are in use for the calibration of radiation detectors for clinical and industrial uses. In order to follow international recommendations, a new quantity has been established at the LCI, the practical peak voltage (PPV). In this work, an analysis of this quantity was made for the computed t...

This paper describes a mesh networking based solution on Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy network to realize Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network communication. Automated Metering Infrastructure is expected to facilitate the transport of meter readings from meters to the utility provider and control information in the other direction. The smart meters send the meter data to t...

In high-performance A* searching to solve satisfici n g prob lems, there is a c r i t i ca l need to design heur is t ics which cause low t ime-complex i ty . In order for humans or machines to do this effectively, there mus t be an unders tand ing of the domainindependent properties that such heurist ics have. We snow that , contrary to common belief, accuracy is no t c r i t i c a l ; the key...

This paper considers the problem of application-level QoS control in group collaboration systems. The QoS parameters considered, latency, jitter, packet-loss, and asynchrony, are controlled by the receiver. The QoS control is based on a novel protocol composition-based approach, wherein the protocol is modularized such that each module controls a single QoS parameter. Each module is then assign...
