Most ad hoc network routing algorithms are designed primarily for networks that are always connected. While it is certainly desirable to maintain a connected network, various conditions may cause a mobile ad hoc network to become partitioned. If the partitions last for a long duration of time, then it is not possible to deliver a packet from source to destination. To deliver messages in a parti...

In the heavy quark limit, the heavy baryon LQ (Q5b or c) can be regarded as composed of a heavy quark and a scalar light diquark which has good spin and flavor quantum numbers. Based on this picture we establish the Bethe-Salpeter ~BS! equation for LQ in the leading order of 1/mQ expansion. With the kernel containing both the scalar confinement and one-gluon-exchange terms we solve the BS equat...

INTRODUCTION Quality of life (QoL) issues are of importance in relatives of women with breast cancer (BC)as caregivers in neglecting their own needs due to care of a patient and also as women regarding the potential risk of themselves developing BC. The objectives in the present study were to compare the QoL of female relatives of women in treatment for breast cancer. To date, no study had exam...

PURPOSE To attempt to quantify the potential for success of tele-endoscopy as a component of the VTMEDNET Plus telemedicine implementation, a multi-part prospective study was undertaken by faculty of the Vermont Initiative for Rural Health Informatics and Telemedicine. METHOD The study was comprised of three separate parts, evaluation of image quality, cost analysis, and identification of ref...

In those days before the development of the gauge field theories there were many attempts to construct multi-local field theories of hadrons. The motivation for that was in the existence of wide variety of hadrons which may be categorized by quantum numbers indebted to the presumed internal structures. The success of QFD and/or QCD, however, impressed us the power of the local field theories of...

The purpose of this study is to explore the brand loyalty of Samsung electronics focusing the special part of south Punjab of Pakistan (Bahawalpur and Multan).This projected model is examines major variables moderating the relationships of, brand trust, service quality, brand credibility, customer satisfaction, brand image with these challenging models of the relationships amongst the impact of...

the effect of the operating conditions (temperature, time, ph, enzyme level and pulp consistency) used in the enzymatic step of a xp (cartazyme-hydrogen peroxide) sequence for bleaching kraft pulp from bagasse on various properties of the resulting pulp and paper sheet products was studied. the quality of bagasse used, was examined by its yield, brightness,viscosity and the kappa number. finall...

background hemophilia might impact the quality of life (qol) in children and adolescent. this study aimed to assess the quality of life in children with hemophilia and identify the factors that predict their qol. methods it was a cross-sectional study. a consensus sample of twenty-seven male children aged 8-16 years old with hemophilia participated in this study during 2011. the haemo-qol quest...

A survey on sleep schedule, sleep health, school performance and school start times was conducted in 1,941 adolescents. A high level of early and circadian-disadvantaged sleep/wake schedules during weekdays was observed. Shorter sleep duration on weekdays was reported, especially in upper classmen. Complaints of inadequate sleep and sleepiness during weekdays, alarm clock use, and napping were ...
