Opportunistic networks allow for communication between nearby mobile devices through a radio connection, avoiding the need cellular data coverage or Wi-Fi connection. The limited spatial range of this type can be overcome by using nodes in mesh network. purpose research was to examine commercial application electronic without plan, Wi-Fi, satellite. A mixed study, with qualitative and quantitat...

Java programs are routinely transmitted over low-bandwidth network connections as compressed class le archives (i.e., zip les and jar les). Since archive size is directly proportional to download time, it is desirable for applications to be as small as possible. This paper is concerned with the use of program transformations such as removal of dead methods and elds, inlining of method calls, an...

A very important aspect in the process of machinery noise control is the proper identification of noise sources. One of the more recently developed options to do this is the beamforming technique using a microphone array. With this technique, it is possible to localize and rank sound sources. However, there are some limitations with beamforming that may become problems for the practical applica...

Other laboratory tests that were performed failed to show any significant abnormalities that could pinpoint a reason for his vague symptoms. Therefore, the doctor submitted a...

Recent progress on the application of cytochrome P450 (P450) to bioconversion processes, biosensors, and bioremediation were reviewed. Because regio- and enantioselective hydroxylation makes chemical synthesis difficult, a bioconversion process using P450 would be quite attractive. One of the most successful industrial applications of P450 may be the bioconversion process for pravastatin format...

Oncology nurses play a pivotal role in the care of patients receiving chemotherapy and are in a prime position to facilitate better care of patients experiencing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). However, to do so, they must be kept well apprised of the most recent guidelines, the latest developments in CINV therapy, and the expanding knowledge of CINV pathophysiology. In April 2...
