We examined the risk of importing and mistakenly releasing equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV)-infected horses into California. A computer simulation model was constructed to evaluate current and alternative quarantine station procedures; 150,000 iterations were performed to simulate 15 different scenarios of 10,000 horses imported into the state over a 14-year period. Simulation results show...

consecutive droughts in sistan and baloochestan province cause water resources restriction and this isa very significant problem for this region. in this study, in order to forecast the drought cycle in 9climatological stations in the province, we used artificial neural networks. the input data wereaverage of annual rainfall data in all stations and also deciles precipitation index, which the f...

This paper explores tramway-oriented development within two different cultures, France and the Czech Republic, which nevertheless have significant factors in common with regard to the goal of promoting the modal share of mass transit from a sustainable development perspective. Besides the basic urban variables, such as density and mixity, our work attempts to explore characteristics of pedestri...

In a multirate WLAN with a single access point (AP) and several stations (STAs), we obtain analytical expressions for TCP-controlled long file transfer throughputs allowing nonzero propagation delays between the file server and STAs. We extend our earlier work in [3] to obtain AP and STA throughputs in a multirate WLAN, and use these in a closed BCMP queueing network model to obtain TCP through...

A transfer or progressive die process consists of multiple stations working simultaneously in each stroke. This paper aims to develop a new methodology that can decompose press tonnage signals to obtain individual station signals without using in-die sensors. In the paper, two different tonnage decomposition tests, as well as the associated data analysis algorithms, are developed. Statistical p...

In this paper, a multihop routing extension to IEEE 802.11 is presented. Multihop extension preserves the traditional single-hop networks where the service infrastructure is constructed by many access points but it also adds the flexibility of ad hoc networks where wireless transfer through mobile stations is allowed in multiple hop. Multihop extension can reduce the number of required access p...

By using linear statistical coefficients such as Pearson, Spearman and Kendall’s, and nonlinear methods such as time-delayed transfer entropy and mutual information, the correlation between the observation stations of bridge health monitoring system is obtained. A model for predicting structural safety based on the correlation coefficients is established, which provides a new research method fo...

I will discuss how time and frequency information can be distributed using satellites. I will focus on using the signals transmitted by the US global positioning system satellites, but I will also discuss other satellite-based systems such as the Russian GLONASS system, the proposed European Galileo System and two-way satellite time transfer, which uses active ground stations that communicate w...

Recent works have valid the chance of increase the energy potency in radio access networks (RANs). done by dynamically turning on/off some base stations (BSs). According to this paper, to extend the analysis over Base Stations switching operations that ought to match up with traffic load variations. . we have a tendency to first of all formulate the traffic variations as a Markov Decision Proce...
