Procedural modeling is a method that determines production rules and allows for developing effective structural design in architecture. Fountain (Shadirvan) an important component of Turkish architecture having symmetrical structure distinctive elements makes fountains suitable procedural modeling. In this study, we propose to different fountain models similar ones exist We specify the paramete...

In contrast to the relatively high attention paid to the structural heterogeneity of striatal dopamine (DA) innervation, little attention has been focused on the possible striatal heterogeneity for release and uptake of DA. By using amperometric methods, we found striatal regions showing a DA decrease during the medial forebrain bundle stimulation (drain areas) near to other zones that showed a...

Providing efficient and reliable data transport is a challenging problem for a variety of emerging applications which require reliable data packet delivery in wireless networks. In this paper, we propose to incorporate fountain codes at transport layer in the notion of cooperative relay communications to provide reliability and robustness for data transmission in wireless networks. Our basic id...

Cooperative communications, where parallel relays forward information to a destination node, can effectively improve the latency in ad hoc networks. In practice, the performance of data transmission often compromises with the variation of channel coefficient and the mobility of network nodes. The conventional fixed rate cooperative relaying cannot make the outage probability reach zero without ...

A fountain code produces for given set of k input symbols (x1, . . . , xk) a potentially limitless stream of output symbols z1, z2, . . .. The input and output symbols can be binary vectors of arbitrary length. Each output symbol is the sum of a randomly and independently chosen subset of the input symbols. Information describing the relations between input and output symbols is obtained at the...

We monitored geyser activity in the Lower Geyser Basin (LGB) of Yellowstone National Park with dual four-element microphone arrays separated by ~600 m. The arrays were independently used to identify incident coherent plane wave energy, then conjoint cross beam back-azimuths from the two arrays were used to precisely locate signal sources. During a week in August 2011 we located repeating infras...

This report presents a real-time simulation of a music fountain which is simulated in three dimensions by a particle animation system. In this system, gravity and wind are factors that affect the locus movement of particles. Using kinematic equations, the dynamic behaviors of particles is modeled. A specific contribution of the work presented here is that parameters for the motion equation are ...
