An independent broadcast on a connected graph $G$is a function $f:V(G)to mathbb{N}_0$such that, for every vertex $x$ of $G$, the value $f(x)$ is at most the eccentricity of $x$ in $G$,and $f(x)>0$ implies that $f(y)=0$ for every vertex $y$ of $G$ within distance at most $f(x)$ from $x$.The broadcast independence number $alpha_b(G)$ of $G$is the largest weight $sumlimits_{xin V(G)}f(x)$of an ind...

Broadcast encryption schemes allow a message sender to broadcast an encrypted data so that only legitimate receivers decrypt it. Because of the intrinsic nature of one-to-many communication in broadcasting, transmission length may be of major concern. Several broadcast encryption schemes with good transmission overhead have been proposed. But, these broadcast encryption schemes are not practica...

We consider the problem where broadcast requests are generated at random time instants at each node of a multiprocessor network. In particular, in our model packets arrive at each node of a network according to a Poisson process, and each packet has to be broadcast to all the other nodes. We propose an on-line decentralized routing scheme to execute the broadcasts in this dynamic environment. A...

A spreadsheet‐based manure transport and land application decision tool, MANURE$HAUL, was developed to provide farmers, custom applicators, and others involved with manure management a manure cost and labor calculator for liquid manure systems using top‐loading tank spreaders and nurse tanks. The manure hauling capacity was a function of the machinery set selected, manure tank capacity, and hau...
