Paractinolaimus sahandi n. sp., found in wet soil samples collected from the rhizosphere of grasses of Sahand Mountains, Iran, is described. This new species is characterized by its long body (3.5-4.7 mm), high a value (74.5-88.5), anterior location of posterior subventral nuclei, occupying 62.5-68.0% of glandularium distance, the presence of 1-4 pre- and 1-3 post-vulval papillae and numerous t...

by Sahand Golnarian Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication with different requirements than human based applications has gained interest in the past few years. Due to battery limitations of devices in most M2M applications, energy efficiency, defined as the number of information bits transmitted per unit energy, is utilized as a utility function instead of a sum-throughput, a traditional utilit...
