Evaluation of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) over real environments is still a remaining issue for most researchers. There are some works which carry out performance tests to evaluate the communication channel according to physical and MAC conditions. Only a few works deal with multi-hop experimentation in this field, and practically none tests multihop protocols. In this paper an integral ...

OBJECTIVES 1) To characterize the impact of multiple myeloma on the quality of life of patients treated in two public institutions in São Paulo State, Brazil, using a generic Short Form 36 Health Survey and a questionnaire specific for oncologic patients (QLQ-C30) upon diagnosis, after the clinical treatment, and at day +100 after autologous stem cell transplantation; 2) to evaluate whether aut...

Software engineering comprehends several disciplines devoted to prevent and remedy malfunctions and to warrant adequate behavior. Testing is a widespread validation approach in industry, but it is still largely ad hoc, expensive, and unpredictably effective. In today's industry, the design of software tests is mostly based on the testers' expertise, while test automation tools are limited to ex...

Problem solving abilities and critical thinking skills are 21st century that need to be developed with efforts apply innovative learning models, namely double loop problem model. This study aims determine the effect of model on students' skills. The research method uses a quasi experiment nonequivalent control group design. Data collection techniques using pretest posttest. data is processed by...

background and aims. different materials have been used for root-end filling during surgical endodontic treatment. the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the dye penetration in different thicknesses of calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement as root-end filling material. materials and methods. following root canal filling in 70 extracted human single-rooted premolar teeth, the apical 3 mm...

The diffusion of wireless technology has caused concerns about interference in the hospital environment. Most hospitals have banned the use of cell phones on their premises although wireless technology can help in delivering time critical help to patients. We discuss some factors of radio frequency (RF) near field interference. These phenomena do not lend themselves easily to theoretical evalua...
