Self-organized collaborative applications in terrains with no infrastructure support for untethered communication are long known to be feasible only with the mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) technology. Supporting collaboration however requires a solution to the consensus problem, using which collaborating users with different initial opinions can decide identically. Efficient consensus solutio...

With the envisioned era of Internet of Things (IoTs), all aspects of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will be connected to improve transport safety, relieve traffic congestion, reduce air pollution, enhance the comfort of transportation and significantly reduce road accidents. In IoVs, regular exchange of current position, direction, velocity, etc., enables mobile vehicles to predict an...

Supporting transactions processing over wireless broadcasting environment has attracted a considerable amount of research in a mobile computing system. To allow more than one conflicting transactions to be committed within the same broadcast cycle, the main broadcast cycle need to be decompose into a sub cycles. This decomposition contains both the original data to be broadcast in Rcast cycle a...

Africa has a switchover date of June, 2017. For Nigerians to have access to television broadcast once the switch over is completed, they must purchase high definition television sets or the set-up box. The awareness among urban dwelle...

Optimizing the timing of nitrogen (N) enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) may maximize winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield, protein content, and N-use (NUE). From 2013 to 2018, experiments were conducted at two irrigated six rain-fed sites across Canadian Prairies (24 site-years) evaluate responses N source timing/placement effects EEFs. Nitrogen sources included untreated urea,...

Ultra-narrow row cotton studies were conducted during 1999 at two field sites in northern Florida. One site was naturally infested with Meloidogyne incognita Race 3 and the other with Rotylenchulus reniformis. The fumigant 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) was applied broadcast at rates of 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, and 96 kg ai./ha in replicated plots before planting Delta Pine 655 BRR cotton in 25-cm-w...
