This paper describes a wireless mobile ad hoc network test bed developed at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The test bed is a framework on which one can run any ad hoc routing protocol implementation and collect performance statistics using benchmark tests. The results are reproducible and the performance statistics collected can be analyzed at a minute level. The test bed closes the gap b...

Many theoretical studies show that power consumed by the routing of data-packets in a wireless ad hoc network can be significantly reduced compared to the current min-hop max-power routing. But, in practice this is difficult to achieve since existing protocols do not provide accurate power information and do not exploit these savings in a mobile environment. This paper enumerates practical modi...

Ad-hoc networks could bring many benefits over traditional, fixed networks. Unfortunately, they have many difficulties, including the selection of the optimal route, the availability of routes as mobile nodes move around the physical space, and problems related to the routing capabilities of mobile devices. This paper outlines an agent-based method which allows tests to be run on nodes within a...

The objective of this study was to examine mechanical properties oleocolloid (OC) and hydro-oleocolloid (HOC) networks formulated with different whey protein concentrations (2.5, 5, 7.5% w/w), high oleic soybean oil (HOSO), rice bran wax (RBW), water. Temperature sweep tests documented that the oleogelation time (determined as at which tan δ = 1) delayed about 4 min in HOC when compared OC due ...

Treatment of stormwater via sorption has the potential to remove both colloidal and dissolved pollutants. Previous research shows that activated carbon produced from sewage sludge is very efficient in sorbing hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs), frequently detected in stormwater. The aim of this research was to determine whether the presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) has a negative eff...
