Sensor networks consist of multiple low-cost, autonomous, ad-hoc sensors, that periodically probe and react to the environment and communicate with other sensors or devices. A primary concern in the operation of sensor networks is the limited energy capacity per sensor. As a result, a common challenge is in setting the probing frequency, so as to compromise between the cost of frequent probing ...

This paper explores the use of edge-to-edge active monitoring to control simultaneously multiple QoS parameters in multi-service IP networks, while reducing the effects of intrusion on real traffic. Considering a multi-class domain where traffic is controlled at network boundaries based on feedback from on-line measurements, the present work is centered on obtaining adequate per class in-band p...

Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction (CNLDO) is one of the commonest causes of Childhood epiphora. This study was carried outat Sagarmatha Chaudhary Eye Hospital (SCEH), Lahan to determine the success rate of probing and syringing in children below 18 months of age with CNLDO. A hospital based prospective interventional study of 106 children with age 4 to 18 months (Mean 7.67, SD 4.37) who ...

This paper addresses testing of compressed structures, such as shells, that exhibit catastrophic buckling and notorious imperfection sensitivity. The central concept is the probing of a loaded structural specimen by a controlled lateral displacement to gain quantitative insight into its buckling behaviour and to measure the energy barrier against buckling. This can provide design information ab...

In industrial biotechnical processes in fed-batch mode it is desirable to keep a high feed rate in order to achieve a high production rate, while simultaneously avoiding overflow metabolism. This means that the optimum of the process is close to the point where it risks crashing due to the effects of overflow metabolites. Probing control of feed rate is a control strategy for microbial processe...

AIM The primary aim of the present study was to validate the effectiveness of a personalized device able to guide periodontal probing in evaluation of second molar periodontal healing after adjacent third molar surgical extraction. Secondarily, the study analyzed if any patient and tooth related factors affected the second molar periodontal healing as well as if they were able to affect the per...

Probe-after-bump is the primary probing procedure for flip chip technology, since it does not directly contact the bump pad, and involves a preferred under bump metallurgy (UBM) step coverage on the bump pads. However, the probe-after-bump procedure suffers from low throughputs and high cost. It also delays the yield feedback to the fab, and makes difficult clarification of the accountability o...

background and aim: probing is the only reliable method for diagnosing periodontal diseases; however, it is a painful examination. the purpose of this study was evaluation of the effect of emla anesthetic gel on the level of pain upon probing in patients with chronic periodontitis referring to the periodontology department of the dental branch of islamic azad university of tehran during 2013-20...

UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to assess the predictability of probing attachment gain and probing pocket depth reduction following Emdogain treatment at sites with deep angular bone defects. MATERIAL AND METHODS 108 consecutively-treated periodontal patients (mean age 55.8 years) were included. Each subject exhibited at least 1 deep interproximal intrabony defect that could be i...
