Asymmetric links are common in wireless networks for a variety of physical, logical, operational, and legal considerations. An asymmetric link supports unidirectional communication between a pair of mobile stations and requires a set of relay stations for the transmission of packets in the other direction. We evaluate m-limited forwarding, a technique to disseminate information in locationand p...

The coexistence of electrical and chemical synapses among interneurons is essential for interneuron function in the neocortex. However, it remains largely unclear whether electrical coupling between interneurons influences chemical synapse formation and microcircuit assembly during development. Here, we show that electrical and GABAergic chemical connections robustly develop between interneuron...

We compared results using unidirectional barbed sutures and conventional sutures for vaginal cuff closure during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).The electronic medical records and surgical videos of 170 patients who underwent TLH between January 2013 and March 2015 at Uijeong-bu St. Mary's Hospital of Catholic University of Korea were reviewed. Vaginal cuffs were closed using the 2-layer ...

Current address – Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI 53201 † Corresponding author – [email protected] Tel: (414) 229-3377 ABSTRACT In the present investigation, various kinds of textures, namely, unidirectional, 8-ground, and random were attained on the die surfaces. Pins made of aluminum were then slid against steel plates for various numbers ...

The generation of purposive movement by mammals involves coordinated activity in the corticospinal and corticostriatal systems, which are involved in different aspects of motor control. In the motor cortex, corticospinal and corticostriatal neurons are closely intermingled, raising the question of whether and how information flows intracortically within and across these two channels. To explore...

We analyze transient electromagnetic pulse propagation in spectrally asymmetric magnetic photonic crystals MPCs with ferromagnetic losses. MPCs are dispersion-engineered materials consisting of a periodic arrangement of misaligned anisotropic dielectric and ferromagnetic layers that exhibit a stationary inflection point in the asymmetric dispersion diagram and unidirectional frozen modes. The a...

The influence of oscillatory versus unidirectional flow on the growth and nitrate-uptake rates of juvenile kelp, Laminaria digitata, was determined seasonally in experimental treatments that simulated as closely as possible natural environmental conditions. In winter, regardless of flow condition (oscillatory and unidirectional) or water velocity, no influence of water motion was observed on th...

Antenna is a means for radiating or receiving or transmitting energy an antenna is used in an advanced wireless system is usually required to optimize the radiation energy in same direction and suppress it in others. A microstrip patch antenna, also referred to as patch antenna is a narrowband, widebeam antenna fabricated by etching the antenna element patch in metal trace bonded to an insulati...

In this paper, we demonstrate an assisted self-assembly fabrication method for unidirectional patterns using pre-programmed shape memory polymer (SMP) as the substrate in an organic/ inorganic bi-layer structure. By heating the hybrid structure above the SMP’s shape recovery temperature, the substrate expands because of positive coefficients of thermal expansion in one direction, while in the p...

In this study, composite materials are produced, placing unidirectional carbon fiber reinforcements with 12 filament numbers in a polyester matrix to form one, two, and three layers at room temperature through the hand lay-up method. The samples prepared from plates help of mold line direction angle by standards. tensile, three-point bending, falling weight low-speed impact strength values were...
