A new time-hopping ultrawideband (TH–UWB) CDMA scheme for indoor wireless communications is presented. In the proposed method, the duration of each bit is divided into Ns1 frames, each one containing Ns2 subframes. Two pseudorandom sequences are assigned to each user. During each bit interval, based on the output of a super-orthogonal encoder and the user’s first dedicated pseudorandom sequence...

The nucleotide sequences of RNA segment 7 (nonstructural protein gene; NS) were compared among 34 influenza C virus strains isolated between 1947 and 1992. The results showed that all the NS genes analysed had the potential to encode NS1 and NS2 proteins of 246 and 182 amino acids, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence of the previously unidentified NS2 was fairly well conserved, althou...

The new DEVS-NS2 modeling and simulation environment supports both high and low levels of abstraction network modeling and simulation. DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) is a well-defined mathematical formalism specification for structure and behavior of dynamic systems. The NS-2 is a discrete event network simulator, whose primary use is intended to build and run various detailed netwo...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection upregulates genes of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family, which utilize a feedback loop to inhibit type I interferon dependent antiviral signaling pathway. Here, we reconstituted RSV nonstructural (NS) protein expression plasmids (pNS1, pNS2, and pNS1/2) and tested whether NS1 or NS2 would trigger SOCS1 and SOCS3 protein expression. The...

Two bidentate Schiff base ligands having nitrogen sulphur donor sequence were derived from the condensation of S-benzyldithiocarbazate (SBDTC) with 2-chloroacetophenone and 4-chloroacetophenone to give S-benzyl- β -N-(2-chlorophenyl)methylenedithiocarbazate (NS2) and S-benzyl- β -N-(4-chlorophenyl)methylenedithiocarbazate (NS4) isomers. Each of the ligands was then chelated with Cd(2+), Zn(2+),...

AODV protocol is an on demand reactive protocol, which exhibits congestion during high mobility and multiple data packet stream to a common destination. This may result in decaying the performance of AODV. The proposed modification is aim controlled congestion by applying efficient local route repair method. When the link failure is detected at intermediate node, a help message has broadcasts t...

Advances in multimedia and ad-hoc networking have urged a wealth of research in multimedia delivery over ad-hoc networks. This comes as no surprise, as those networks are versatile and beneficial to a plethora of applications where the use of fully wired network has proved intricate if not impossible, such as prompt formation of networks during conferences, disaster relief in case of flood and ...

Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have recently gained considerable attention from both research and industry communities. One of the challenges posed by the study of VANETs is the definition of routing protocols design. In this paper, a realistic simulation environment is developed based on Mobility model generator for Vehicular networks (MOVE) and Network Simulator (NS2). The performance of ...
