In recent years, routing has been the most focused area in ad hoc networks research. On-demand routing in particular, is widely developed in bandwidth constrained mobile wireless ad hoc networks because of its effectiveness and efficiency. Most proposed on-demand routing protocols are built and relied on single route for each data session. Whenever there is a link disconnection on the active ro...

i ntroduction: calcium hydroxide (ch) is one of the most common intracanal medications. corticosteroids (cs) are used in endodontics because of their anti-inflammatory activity. this study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of ch+betamethasone and ch+saline against enterococcus faecalis ( e. faecalis ) using agar diffusion test and measuring the microbial zone of inhibition (zoi). metho...

routing in wireless sensor networks (wsns) is a very challenging task due to the large number of nodes, their mobility and lack of proper infrastructure. since the sensors are battery powered devices, energy efficiency is considered as one of the main factors in designing routing protocols in wsns. most of energy-aware routing protocols are mere energy savers that attempt to decrease the energy...

Our project analyzes the United States domestic airport network. We attempt to determine which airports are most vital in maintaining the underlying infrastructure for all domestic flights within the United States. To perform our analysis, we use data from the first quarter of 2010 and use several methods and algorithms that are frequently used in network science. Using these statistics, we ide...

in mobile ad hoc networks, the absence ofinfrastructure and the consequent absence of authorizationfacilities impede the usual practice of establishing a practicalcriterion to distinguishing nodes as trusted and distrusted.since all nodes in the manets would be used as router inmulti-hop applications, secure routing protocols have vital rulein the security of the network. so evaluating the perf...

The present work aims at reducing the friction of rubber soles sliding on ceramic floorings. Fitting bored cylindrical protrusions with different diameters on rubber soles was proposed. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed protrusions in increasing friction coefficient at dry and contaminated floorings. It was found that, at dry sliding, friction coefficient ...

two polygonal biogenic sedimentary rare structures of koilosoma (hitchcock 1858) have been found due to neoichnology of the abhar-rud river fluvial sediments, northwest iran. one of them is polygon holes, with about one square meter area. polygons are same in size and depth, and are hexagonal in shape. they have distinct boundaries like the honeycomb. this sample is like the reported specimens ...

in this study the location routing problem with fuzzy parameters is taken into account, this problem involves determining the location of the depots and routing of the vehicles in order to serve the customers. in this study a location routing problem with fuzzy travel times and due dates is considered and two objective models are proposed. the considered objectives are minimizing the total cost...
