Many proposed distributed hash table (DHT) schemes for peer-topeer network are based on some traditional parallel interconnection topologies. In this paper, we show that the Kautz graph is a very good static topology to construct DHT schemes. We demonstrate the optimal diameter and optimal fault tolerance properties of the Kautz graph and prove that the Kautz graph is (1+o(1))-congestion-free w...

This thesis presents a study of the effect of controllable riveting parameters, mainly squeeze force, rivet length, rivet diameter tolerance, hole countersunk depth and hole diameter tolerance, on the quality of formed rivet. The quality of a formed rivet is determined by the geometry of its head formation and the extent to which the hole is filled. The study determines maximum allowable tolera...

Background During exercise, the demand for oxygen and energy substrates is elevated in active skeletal muscle. Supplements with high nitrate and polyphenol content have been shown to increase nitric oxide production and enhance exercise efficiency. The current randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study aimed to investigate the acute effects of pomegranate extract on blood flo...

SYNOPSIS The effects of nursery practices on freeze tolerance of P taeda and P elliottii seedlings were examined by placing the seedlings in a freezing chamber and lowering the temperature to -10C. Injury was evaluated 10 days after the freeze treatment by examining cambial tissue (browning test). Top-pruning P taeda seedlings (three times) increased freeze tolerance while rootwrenching (six ti...

With global temperatures projected to surpass the limits of thermal tolerance for many species, evaluating the heritable variation underlying thermal tolerance is critical for understanding the potential for adaptation to climate change. We examined the evolutionary potential of thermal tolerance within a population of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) by conducting a full-factorial bre...

Abstract The fiber optic wire package is the core component of guided rockets. Due to non-uniformity diameter, winding process prone defects, which affects missile launch process. In this paper, a finite element simulation model for established. accuracy verified by comparing it with analytical contact pressure between layers. Then models considering diameter tolerance are established analyze e...

Coarsewoody debris (CWD)may be defined as dead and down trees of a certainminimum size that are an important forest ecosystem component (e.g., wildlife habitat, carbon stocks, and fuels). Due to field efficiency concerns, some natural resource inventories onlymeasure the attributes of CWDpieces at their point of intersection with a sampling transect (e.g., transect diameter) although measuremen...

the effects of sodium chloride (nacl) salinity (control; canal water with 0.4 ds m-1), 2.5 dsm-1, 5.0 ds m-1, 7.5 ds m-1 and 10.0 ds m-1, respectively) developed after 6 weeks of pruning (beginning of study) on plant growth, flowering and quality of three cut rose (rosa hybrida l.) cultivars viz. ‘kardinal’, ‘angelique’ and ‘gold medal’ were studied to achieve better management, quality product...

The effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) salinity (control; canal water with 0.4 dS m-1), 2.5 dSm-1, 5.0 dS m-1, 7.5 dS m-1 and 10.0 dS m-1, respectively) developed after 6 weeks of pruning (beginning of study) on plant growth, flowering and quality of three cut rose (Rosa hybrida L.) cultivars viz. ‘Kardinal’, ‘Angelique’ and ‘Gold Medal’ were studied to achieve better management, quality product...
