We propose using the predictability of human motion to eliminate the overhead of distributed location services in human-carried MANETs, dubbing the technique location profile routing. This method outperforms the Geographic Hashing Location Service when nodes change locations 2×more frequently than they initiate connections (e.g., start new TCP streams), as in applications like textand instant-m...

Prediction of jet noise is important for civil aircraft. Some CAA methodologies predict the full unsteady flow field of a jet in order to ascertain the far-field noise. The approach adopted here is to utilise CFD to obtain steady state information using a turbulence model and hence to provide inputs to a semi-empirical noise model, herein after referred to as the four source model. Predictions ...

Infrared interferometry is currently in a rapid development phase, with new instrumentation soon achieving milliarcsecond spatial resolutions for faint sources and astrometry on the order of 10 microarcseconds. For jet studies in particular, the next generation of instruments will bring us closer to the event horizon of supermassive black holes such as Sgr A*, and the region where jet launching...

Cirrus are known to play an important role in the radiative budget of the earth-atmosphere system. Previous studies have shown that cirrus within strong jet streams account for about 40% to 60% of all cirrus observed in the continental United States during the winter (Menzel et al. 1992). However, the connection between the properties of mid-latitude cirrus clouds and the large-scale flow that ...

The corresponding laminar problem has been theoretically analyzed by Schlichting3 in 1933. Neither of these solutions, however, holds for finite opening, i.e. at a short distance from the opening. Kuethe,3 in 1935, extended Tollmien's results to the case of a two-dimensional jet issuing into a medium not at rest and also worked out an approximate method for'the computation of the velocity profi...

The Challenge Fluid phenomena play important roles in everyday life --as blowing winds, jet streams, chemical dispersion, granular flows, ocean waves and currents, et cetera. Although these phenomena are commonplace, they are fascinating, visually and physically, for the effects they produce. Mathematical models that describe them properly are nonlinear and lead to computational simulation proc...

Growing evidence suggests that the functional specialization of the two cortical visual pathways may not be as distinct as originally proposed. Here, we explore possible contributions of the dorsal "where/how" visual stream to shape perception and, conversely, contributions of the ventral "what" visual stream to location perception in human adults. Participants performed a shape detection task ...

one of the most common methods for controlling and increasing maneuverability of projectiles, especially the ones which move at high altitude and in low density air, is using lateral or reaction jets. the resultant force of the reaction jet is related to the jet and flow parameters. for finding their relation experimental, numerical, and analytical methods have been used. in order to change the...

The spatial distribution of tropospheric and stratospheric temperature trends for 1979 to 2005 was examined, based on radiances from satellite-borne microwave sounding units that were processed with state-of-the-art retrieval algorithms. We found that relative to the global-mean trends of the respective layers, both hemispheres have experienced enhanced tropospheric warming and stratospheric co...
