The rating curve is the relationship between the water stage and the associated discharge in a givensection of a channel. In steady flow, this relationship usually has exponential type, whereas inunsteady it flow has a looped shape. Since direct developing of actual looped rating curve by usinghydrometric methods is merely possible, steady-state rating curve is commonly used as a downstreamboun...

embedded systems are becoming a suggestive target for code injection attacks in recent years. software protection mechanisms in general computers are not usually applicable in embedded systems as they come with limited resources like memory and processor. in this paper we investigate side channel characteristics of embedded systems and their usability in code injection attack detection. the arc...

diversity, accessibility and reliability are the three main factors governing the adoption of information sources by farmers in rural areas. based on the research hypothesis, the existing knowledge and information delivery system in the agricultural sector, functions far below the ever changing nature and tangible needs of existing farming systems. the main objective in this study is to determi...

ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel openers have a relaxation effect due to the lower cellular membrane potential and inhibit calcium influx. There has been considerable interest in exploring KATP channel openers in the treatment of various diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and urinary system disease and premature labor. The purpose of this study was to synthesize 3,3,6,6-tet...

In this paper, the secrecy problem in the state dependent causal cognitive interference channel is studied. The channel state is non-causally known at the cognitive encoder. The message of the cognitive encoder must be kept secret from the primary receiver. We use a coding scheme which is a combination of compress-and-forward strategy with Marton coding, Gel’fand-Pinsker coding and Wyner’s wire...

This paper applies an evolutionary algorithm, the particle swarm optimization (PSO), to design the optimum open channel section. Depth, channel side slope and bottom width are considered as the variables for rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal channels, respectively. The objective function is minimizing the construction cost of the channel section. MATLAB software is used for programming an...

Field Effect Diode (FED)s are interesting device in providing the higherON-state current and lower OFF–state current in comparison with SOI-MOSFETstructures with similar dimensions. The impact of channel length and band-to-bandtunneling (BTBT) on the OFF-state current of the side contacted FED (S-FED) has beeninvestigated in this paper. To find the lowest effective channel length, this device i...

introduction numerous studies have demonstrated the presence of potassium selective channels in membranes internal organelles. these channels are essential to a large variety of cellular processes including intracellular 2+ a signaling, protein recycling, charge neutralization and cell protection. in contrast to the sarcoplasmic reticulum + here potassium channels have been clearly identified, ...
