We have designed a novel Event-Condition-Action (ECA) scheme based Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector(ECA-AODV) routing protocol for a Ubiquitous Network (UbiNet). ECA-AODV is designed to make routing decision dynamically and quicker response to dynamic network conditions as and when event occur. ECA scheme essentially consists of three modules to make runtime routing decision quicker. First, eve...

In this paper the utilisation of the Probability of Congestion (PC) as a bandwidth allocation decision parameter is presented. We assume short buffers at the switch nodes to cope with cell level multiplexation contention (“bufferless” environments). Therefore, delay and cell delay variations are strongly bounded. Moreover, the Cell Loss Ratio (CLR) becomes the critical performance parameter. Th...

Trust is a critical component in effective collaboration, decision-making and negotiation. The goal of effective team leaders should be to send signals and messages that increase trust. We attempt to determine if signals can vary perceptions of trustworthiness and if nonverbal behaviors, such as the voice, contain indicators of trust. In order to investigate the relationship between trust and v...

Acute toxicity study of Centella asiatica standardized extract ECa 233 was conducted by an oral administration of 10.0 g/kg extract into 10 male and 10 female mice. The extract at the given dose did not cause any toxic signs and death within the observation period of 14 days. Sub-chronic toxicity study of ECa 233 has been investigated in four groups of Wistar rats, each of 24 rats (12 of each s...

The research presented in this paper looks at ECA’s and the influence of the color of their clothing on user perception. To perform this research an experiment was done. In the experiment two different colored versions of the same ECA told a story after which test subjects answered questions on their perception of the ECA and the contents of the story. The initial literary research gave good re...

Peroxynitrite, an oxidant generated by the interaction between superoxide and nitric oxide (NO), has been implicated in the etiology of numerous disease processes. Several studies have shown that peroxynitrite-induced protein nitration may compromise enzyme and protein function. We hypothesized that peroxynitrite may regulate cytokine function during inflammation. To test this hypothesis, the e...

Purpose: To compare the biocompatibility of ethyl-cyanoacrylate (ECA) and octylcyanoacrylate (OCA) wound closures to sutures in rat skin. Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were subjected to three incisions which were closed using ECA, OCA or sutures . Rats were divided into four groups which received biopsies on the 3rd, 7th, 14th or 21st postoperative days. Necrosis, inflammation, dermatit...

Element CXI's Elemental Computing Array (ECA) delivers faster reconfiguration time and higher computational density than Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) with similar computational power. It provides higher computational power than Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) with similar power consumption and price. It also utilizes a library-based graphical development environment promoting ease of...

Soil salinization is a major problem affecting soils and threatening agricultural sustainability in arid semi-arid regions, which makes it necessary to establish an efficient strategy manage soil salinity confront economic challenges that arise from it. Saline recovery involving drainage of shallow saline groundwater the removal salts by natural rainfall or irrigation are good strategies for re...
