Remote sensing has changed modern oceanography by proving synoptic periodic data which can be processed. Since the satellite data are usually too much and nonlinear, in most cases, it is difficult to distinguish the patterns from these images. In fact, SOM (Self-Organizing Maps) model is a type of ANN (Artificial Neural Network) that has the ability to distinguish the efficient patterns from th...

In this chapter, the development of a networking testbed to test and validate IPv6-based protocols for future Air Traffic Management (ATM) network is presented. The development was originally initiated within the EC FP6 project NEWSKY (Networking the Sky for Aeronautical Communications), which aimed at developing a concept for a global, heterogeneous communication network for aeronautical commu...

We explore the advantage of using genetic algorithms for the automated design of a small satellite passive thermal control. The control law is a layout of heterogeneous material patches covering the satellite surface. We tested our candidate material patch solutions with a finite element method simulation of the satellite thermal conditions during direct sun light orbit. We found that the metho...

Automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) error control is often employed to assure high delity information transmission. However, ARQ error control can provide poor throughput for satellite multicasting. The throughput in such communication may be improved by the combination of a terrestrial network parallel to the satellite network and a judiciously modi ed ARQ protocol. In particular, retransmitted ARQ...

Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous tissue that represents between 30 and 38% of the human body mass and has important functions in the organism, such as maintaining posture, locomotor impulse, or pulmonary ventilation. The genesis of skeletal muscle during embryonic development is a process controlled by an elaborate regulatory network combining the interplay of extrinsic and intrinsic regulato...

Muscle stem cells, termed satellite cells, are crucial for skeletal muscle growth and regeneration. In healthy adult muscle, satellite cells are quiescent but poised for activation. During muscle regeneration, activated satellite cells transiently re-enter the cell cycle to proliferate and subsequently exit the cell cycle to differentiate or self-renew. Recent studies have demonstrated that sat...

application of satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques in agriculture and other natural resources has been approved by many studies. in this study two etm+ imagery data for may and september 2012 of astan ghods razavi great farm were acquired to identify the boundaries of lands cultivated with different crops coverage and to create crops maps of that farm. . to classify the images, the ...

We presented to ICSSC 2004 a paper entitled “Re-thinking the End-to-end Paradigm The missing protocol layer”. This paper described a novel architecture in which the TCP end-to-end transport in a heterogeneous network environment is split into a succession of separate transport instances, each operating over a homogeneous sub-network. This split architecture is augmented with a new end-to-end tr...
