To enhance the performance of broadband satellite networks, the application characteristics should be considered in the design of the medium access control (MAC) protocol. With the rapid expansion of Internet applications and the attractiveness of high speed Internet access via broadband satellite networks, it is important to take into account the selfsimilar nature of Internet traffic in MAC p...

Seaweeds are large-scale multicellular marine algae categorized based on color as Chlorophyceae, Rhodophyceae, and Phaeophyceae. No information has been provided the conditions affecting production of mesoporous activated carbon from one member described aquatic plants, namely Sargassum sp. Therefore, this study aimed to determine impact main factors their interactions sp.-derived manufactured ...

There is very little replication of research in economics, particularly compared with other sciences. This paper argues that there is a dire need for studies that replicate research, that their scarcity is due to poor or negative rewards for replicators, and that this could be improved with a journal that exclusively publishes replication studies. I then discuss how such a journal could be orga...

This manuscript summarizes the activities carried out by the PCDIC in the past two years. Methodology: Documented inquires received at the PCDIC were analyzed. Ac...

[1] The surface response to 11 year solar cycle variations is investigated by analyzing the long-term mean sea level pressure and sea surface temperature observations for the period 1870–2010. The analysis reveals a statistically significant 11 year solar signal over Europe, and the North Atlantic provided that the data are lagged by a few years. The delayed signal resembles the positive phase ...
