In heterogeneous wireless network environments, network connections of a device may have a significant differential. This paper studies the effect of path bandwidth differential on the performance of fast retransmission strategies in Multi-homing environments. It identifies that fast retransmission on an alternate path may cause receive buffer blocking when path bandwidth differential is signif...

Progressive collapse is a condition where local failure of a primary structural component leads to the collapse of neighboring members and the whole structure, consequently. In this paper, the progressive collapse potential of seismically designed steel dual systems with buckling restrained braces is investigated using the alternate path method, and their performances are compared with those of...

In many studies, the alternative load path method (APM) has been used for progressive collapse analysis. In this method, one or several columns of the building are removed and the building response is investigated. This method ignores the initial local failure cause of building and this can affect the structural response. Investigation of ignoring the initial local failure cause of steel braced...

The respiration of fresh sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) slices is resistant to, and often stimulated by, cyanide and antimycin A. m-Chlorobenzhydroxamic acid (CLAM), a selective inhibitor of the alternate path, inhibits respiration in the presence of cyanide and has a limited inhibitory effect in the presence of antimycin A. Thus, a partial bypass of the antimycinsensitive site is indicated. Re...

introduction red beans (phaseolus vulgaris l.) with 22-25 % protein and 50-60 % carbohydrates are one of the most important legumes in the world, particularly in some developing countries. it is one of the major sources of vegetable protein. with regard to increasing population and increasing the need of protein, the use of plant resources like red bean with a large amount of protein is growing...

modelling of crack propagation by finite element method under mixed mode conditions is of prime importance in fracture mechanics. this paper describes an application of finite element method to the analysis of mixed mode crack growth in linear elastic fracture mechanics. crack growth process is simulated by an incremental crack-extension analysis based on the maximum principal stress criterion,...

The Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference test (MRTD) is one of the tests typically required to characterize the performance of thermal imaging systems. The traditional test methodology is very time intensive, requiring data collection at multiple temperatures and target frequencies. This paper will present an alternate methodology using a controlled blackbody temperature ramp rate. This al...

Empirical studies report frequent occurrences of path failure in the Internet. In providing resilience to such failures, we propose the computation of alternate backup end-to-end path that is disjoint to the default IP path. This disjoint path is created using transit hubs that can be located at diverse points in the Internet. Transit hubs provide better utilization of network resources. Assumi...

We offer a parsimonious definition of large population potential games, provide some alternate characterizations, and demonstrate the advantages of the new definition over the existing definition, but also show the equivalence of the two definitions.
