Network coding has been shown to be very effective for collaborative media streaming applications. A pivotal issue in media streaming with Network Coding (NC) lies in the packet scheduling policy at the network nodes, which affects the perceived media quality. In this paper we address the problem of finding the packet scheduling policy that maximizes the number of media segments recovered in th...

This consumption has been cultivated by a communications revolution in the twentieth century. Television, film...

the idea of smart corrosion inhibition is basis on either inhibitor consumption where it is needed or reducing harmful matrix interaction with it. in addition, applying corrosion inhibitor in a coating causes many problems such as loss of inhibition capability, coating degradation, or both. a useful technique to overcome this problem is applying of inert host systems of nanometer dimensions as ...

modifications in fat and fatty acid composition of silver carp that take place at each stage of canning process (precooking and sterilization) were evaluated. results showed, precooking led to decrease total fat and increase conjugated dines. the amounts of free fatty acids and thiobarbituric acids had no changed during precooking but these compounds like conjugated dine were increased after st...
