Several routing algorithms for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been proposed in the recent past [1], [2], [3]. With the exception of a few, these protocols (i) involve all nodes in the route management process, (ii) rely on the use of broadcast relays for route computation, and (iii) are primarily reactive in nature. Related work [4], [5] has shown that the capacity utilization in ad hoc n...

In recent years telecommunications services in remote Australia have received considerable attention, with services for indigenous desert communities a key focus. This project, known as Desert Interactive Remote Television (DIRT), uses existing community rebroadcast TV infrastructure to provide low cost multimedia messaging services for remote desert communities. The system architecture, key ap...

The effects of irrigation and planting pattern on wheat in field conducted at Taian, northern China during 2011-12. The experiments consisted of two planting patterns (single and double rows) and two irrigation levels (0 and 180 mm) resulting in the same plant density (200 × 10 plant/ha). Each experiment plot was 3 m × 3 m in size and replicated thrice in split-plot design. During course of stu...

Vehicular networks are a promising application of mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, we introduce an efficient broadcast technique, called CB-S (Cell Broadcast for Streets), for vehicular networks with occlusions such as skyscrapers. In this environment, the road network is fragmented into cells such that nodes in a cell can communicate with any node within a two cell distance. Each mobile ...

Because adaptability greatly improves the performance of a broadcast protocol, we identify three ways in which machine learning can be applied to broadcasting in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). We chose broadcasting because it functions as a foundation of MANET communication. Unicast, multicast, and geocast protocols utilize broadcasting as a building block, providing important control and rou...

Longleaf pine is a highly desirable species, resisting fire, insects and pathogens, and produces quality solid-wood products, but regeneration of the species has been difficult. Natural regeneration is feasible only on a small portion of the area considered to be longleaf pine type. Therefore, artificial regeneration must become a reliable means of regenerating the species if restoration of the...

We investigate the estimation of the size of a broadcast audience. We give the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimators for different scenarios. Using Poisson approximation we obtain upper and lower bounds for the audience size. The ML estimators has closed-form expressions, so are the bounds. We treat the problem of a malfunctioning feedback flow control, where the sender is overwhelmed by feedback ...

Today's increasingly sophisticated and modern technology is an opportunity for Islamic da'wah activists. Da'wah can not only be carried out in mosques with lectures, but also utilize social media as a means infrastructure broadcasting values. Islam religion which requires its adherents to always carry activities society. In the context of activities, it various ways that are contrary teachings,...
