Leaf rust, Stagnospora (Septoria) glume blotch, Septoria leaf blotch, and powdery mildew have historically been the most damaging diseases on wheat in Alabama. Stripe rust has recently emerged in the Deep South as a very destructive disease of wheat. Field cropping history, cultivar selection, and weather patterns all have a tremendous i...

Information Priority Based Multicast Routing in MANETs

The routing efficiency in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) suffers from frequent battery drains, mobility and large variation of received signal strength. Thus, nodes and links in MANETs become more vulnerable and unstable. Multicast routing in MANETs for group communication requires establishment of reliable links between neighbouring nodes called as reliability pair beginning from the source a...
