Wireless Sensor Networks, are made of low-cost, low-power, small in size, and multifunctional sensor nodes. The efficient energy utilization is one of the important performance factors for wireless sensor networks survivability be-cause nodes operate with limited battery power. In this paper we propose and analyze a new approach of zone based clustering head selection algorithm for wireless sen...

INTRODUCTION Despite a recent focus on intimate partner violence (IPV) among men who have sex with men (MSM), the male-male couple is largely absent from the IPV literature. Specifically, research on dyadic factors shaping IPV in male-male couples is lacking. METHODS We took a subsample of 403 gay/bisexual men with main partners from a 2011 survey of approximately 1,000 gay and bisexual men f...

When 4-dimensional general relativity is extended by a 3-dimensional grav-itational Chern-Simons term an apparent violation of diffeormorphism invari-ance is extinguished by the dynamical equations of motion for the modified theory. The physical predictions of this recently proposed model show little evidence of symmetry breaking, but require the vanishing of the Pontryagin density.

In this article, enhancement of THz radiation was studied using pulse shaping thchnique. Over 40% enhance was demonstrated by positive chirped optical pulses. This could be attributed to the pump-dump process in excitation.

In this chapter we offer a framework for thinking about the design of technology. Our approach draws on critical perspectives from both social theory and science and technology studies (STS). We understand design to be the process of consciously shaping an artifact to adapt it to specific goals and environments. Our framework conceptualizes design as a process whereby technical and social consi...

Imitation Learning (IL) is a popular approach for teaching behavior policies to agents by demonstrating the desired target policy. While the approach has lead to many successes, IL often requires a large set of demonstrations to achieve robust learning, which can be expensive for the teacher. In this paper, we consider a novel approach to improve the learning efficiency of IL by providing a sha...

have frequently been transplanted to study factors gov erning †̃takes' as well as the possibility of enhancing resist ance in the recipients. It has been learned that trans planted leukemic cells grow in isologous animals, regardless of sex and age, and are rejected in recipients of other strains (3, 5, 6, 8, 16, 22). The data in regard to the effect of the route of trans plantation on the maj...
