Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) have proven to be an important technology for interconnecting computer systems in a flexible way. There exist many application areas that profit from WMN technologies such as surveillance and monitoring systems, the wireless integration of mobile clients into a network infrastructure or simply the spontaneous setup of a network for data exchange between several mobi...

We identify distinct mechanisms controlling slowing of nanoparticle diffusion through complex media featuring both rigid geometrical confinement and soft mobile crowders. Towards this end, we use confocal microscopy and single particle tracking to probe the diffusion of 400 nm nanoparticles suspended in Newtonian water, in a Newtonian glycerol/water mixture, or in a non-Newtonian polymer soluti...

Two sets of experiments related to the scour of cohesionless sediment by planar turbulent jets are presented and discussed. The first set of experiments measures the growth of the scour hole and downstream dune as a function of time. Measurements reveal a bedform that is nearly self-similar and whose growth in time is governed by a power-law relationship. The bedform is well represented by thre...

Internet technology has widespread throughout the world over the past few years; this technology has offered variety of services and resources to the users. In contrast to traditional fixed networks the world has become mobile. Mobile computing offers users access to resource anytime anywhere. People have started communicating over wireless area networks (WLAN) using laptops and handheld device...

Predicting and identifying an optimal navigational forecasting for a mobile robot agent is considered to be one of the key challenges for researchers in the field of AI and robotics. A mobile robot agent participating for wide range of mission critical application will explore into an unknown environment will be challenging criteria, considering its contraints such as time, cost, energy, explor...
