Mobile ad-hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any stand-alone infrastructure or centralized administration. Mobile ad-hoc network have the attributes such as wireless connection, continuously changing topology, distributed operation and ease of deployment. In this paper we have compared the performance of two reactive MANET routing...

While virtual reality and 3D interaction provide new possibilities for musical applications, the existing immersive virtual instruments are limited to single process instruments or musical navigation tools. In this paper we present the 3D reactive widgets. These graphical elements enable simultaneous control and visualization of musical processes in 3D immersive environments. They also rely on ...

This study examined the relationships between reactive strength measures and sprint performance. Ten female sprinters performed bilateral vertical hops and drop jumps (DJs) from 0.3 m and 40 m sprints. Ground contact time, flight time, height jumped and the reactive strength index (RSI) were calculated during hops and drop jumps. Sprint times over 10, 20, 30 and 40 m were also assessed. High po...

In situ reactive barriers have been constructed by a variety of means and with a range of reactive materials. Zero valent iron reactive permeable barriers have been installed to remediate chlorinated solvent contaminated groundwater by abiotic degradation of the halogenated volatile organic compounds into harmless daughter products. Alternative reactive materials are used for precipitation, sor...

While virtual reality and 3D interaction open new prospects for musical performance, existing immersive virtual instruments are often limited to single process instruments or musical navigation tools. We believe that immersive virtual environments may be used to design expressive and efficient multi-process instruments. In this paper we present the 3D reactive widgets. These graphical elements ...

This paper presents an architecture for the navigation of an autonomous mobile robot evolving in environments with obstacles. Instead of addressing motion planning and control in different contexts, these issues are described in connected modules with performance requirement considerations. The planning problem is formulated as a constrained receding horizon planning problem and is solved in re...

An investigation on the flexural behaviour of reinforced high performance concrete (HPC) has been conducted. Crushed sandstone known as reactive aggregate was used for both fine and coarse aggregates. In addition, mineral admixtures such as silica fume and fly ash combined with superplasticiser was used. The beams were made with concrete having compressive strength in the range of 74 88 N/mm 2 ...

C-REACTIVE PROTEIN, HOMOCYSTEINE, AND COGNITIVEPERFORMANCE IN HEALTHY ADULTSbyCHERYL L. DAHLEMay 2010Advisor: Dr. Naftali RazMajor: PsychologyDegree: Doctor of Philosophy Elevated blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) havereceived a great deal of attention as biomarkers for the development of cardiovascular disease. Their utility in ...

Problem statement: In this study, an attempt had been made to compare the performance of the reactive ad-hoc routing protocols using OPNET modeler with respect to increasing number of nodes in the network. Approach: In present study, we compared various reactive routing protocols such as Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Temporally Ordered Routing Algorit...

EFFECTIVE MOVEMENT IS A KEY ELEMENT OF ELITE SPORTS PERFORMANCE IN A RANGE OF SPORTS, AND AGILITY TRAINING HAS BECOME AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN MANY SPORTS PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMS. TRADITIONALLY, AGILITY TRAINING HAS FOCUSED ON THE EXECUTION OF CLOSED DRILLS THAT ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE MOVEMENT PATTERS BUT MAY NOT OPTIMALLY TRANSFER DIRECTLY TO ENHANCED SPORTS PERFORMANCE...
