The heart of the crustaceans has its own pacemaker neurons inside the heart, which are composed of 9 neurons. The neurons receive innervations of only three kinds of axons originated from the central nervous system; one pair of inhibitory and two pairs of acceleratory axons. Thus, in terms of the neural cardiac control from higher center, this system may have much more simplistic operation comp...

in recent decades, evolutionary algorithms have been applied successfully in various water resource engineering and management issue especially in optimal operation of reservoirs. in this paper, a model based on shuffled complex evolution (sce) algorithm has been developed for modeling optimal operation of complex multi reservoir system of karkheh basin. the system includes 4 different agricult...

In recent years, considerable attention has been given to the analysis of flexible mechanisms. For mechanisms which operate at high speeds, the inertial forces become so large and they cannot be ignored and the mechanism members undergo considerable deformation. Under these situations the rigid body assumption is no longer valid and hence the need arises for consideration of the flexibilities o...

In ubiquitous computing environments, users usually compose several services to achieve their goals. The service composition method of this paper is based on WSUN(Web Services on Universal Networks). WSUN approach supports dynamic service composition which takes account of the dynamic factors of ubiquitous environments. In service composition, an operation of a service should be substituted by ...

The operation of a cross-layer mechanism for the performance improvement of real-time applications over IEEE 802.16(e) networks is presented. This mechanism utilizes wireless channel quality and quality of service information, coordinates the operation of the adaptation mechanisms of the Physical and Application layers and uses the handover as one of the ways to improve the system performance. ...

The present work studied the application of membrane bioreactor (MBR) for tapioca wastewater processing that contained chemical oxygen demand (COD) ranging from 4000-9000 mg/L. A preliminary study was initially conducted in order to evaluate membrane performance with respect to its flux with MLSS concentration ranging from 4,500 to 10,500 mg/L. It was clear that fouling was observed during the ...

Coda is a scalable distributed Unix1 file system that provides high availability through the use of two distinct but complementary mechanisms. One mechanism, server replication, stores copies of a file at multiple servers. The other mechanism, disconnected operation, is a mode of execution in which a caching site temporarily assumes the role of a replication site. Disconnected operation is part...
