Immune system plays crucial role in body and lymph nodes are essential parts of this system for combating pathogens. However, no study has ever been conducted on morphometric development of sheep lymph nodes in fetal period. Thus, this study attempted to examine the morphometric characteristics of a number of important lymph nodes of some lymphocenters of sheep during fetal period. To this end,...

Mobile ad hoc networks consist of freely moving nodes responsible of not only forwarding packets for other nodes but can also perform extensive computations. One of the most critical issues in these networks is the significant differences in term of processing and energy capacity between the nodes, inducing a load imbalance. Thus, sharing the load between the overloaded and idle nodes is a nece...

With the growing need of processing “big data” in real time, modern streaming processing systems should be able to operate at the cloud scale. This imposes challenges to building large scale stream processing systems. First, processing tasks should be efficiently distributed to worker nodes with small overhead. Second, streaming data processing should be highly available, despite that failures ...

Accesses to the shared memory remain to be a major performance limitation in shared memory multiprocessors. Scalable multiprocessors with distributed memory also poses the problem of keeping the memory coherent. A large number of shared memory coherence mechanisms has been proposed to solve this problem. Their relative performance is, however, determined by the sharing behaviour of the workload...

This memo discusses Flow Attribute Notification Protocol (FANP), which is a protocol between neighbor nodes for the management of cut-through packet forwarding functionalities. In cut-through packet forwarding, a router doesn’t have to perform conventional IP packet processing for received packets. FANP indicates mapping information between a datalink connection and a packet flow to the neighbo...

The architecture named the GALIS is a cluster-based distributed computing system architecture which has been devised to efficiently handle a large volume of LBS application data. In this paper, we propose a distributed kNN query processing scheme for moving objects on multiple computing nodes, each of which keeps records relevant to a different geographical zone. We also propose a hybrid k-NN s...

the notion of strong arcs in a fuzzy graph was introduced bybhutani and rosenfeld in [1] and fuzzy end nodes in the subsequent paper[2] using the concept of strong arcs. in mordeson and yao [7], the notion of“degrees” for concepts fuzzified from graph theory were defined and studied.in this note, we discuss degrees for fuzzy end nodes and study further someproperties of fuzzy end nodes and fuzz...

Genomic data are growing exponentially and are daily searched by thousands of biologists. To reduce the search time, efficient parallelism can be exploited by dispatching data among a cluster of processing units able to scan locally and independently their own data. If PC clusters are well suited to support this type of parallelism, we propose to substitute PCs by reconfigurable hardware closel...

Typical color image processing techniques use profiles consisting of sparse multi-dimensional lookup tables that interpolate between adjacent nodes to prepare an image for rendering. It has been suggested that spectral image processing could make analogous use of these techniques. A lookup table for spectral matching will relate spectral correlates to values related to printer digital counts. P...
