abstract erosion and sedimentation are the most complicated problems in hydrodynamic which are very important in water-related projects of arid and semi-arid basins. for this reason, the presence of suitable methods for good estimation of suspended sediment load of rivers is very valuable. solving hydrodynamic equations related to these phenomenons and access to a mathematical-conceptual model ...

This paper describes comparative analysis results of system performance by network-on-chip topologies on system level. Network-on-chip systems are implemented by typical topologies, mesh topology, crossbar topology, folded torus topology and point-to-point topology on system level. Running the x264/AVC encoding application on each system and analyze performance from simulation results. We can f...

How similar are the publishing patterns of among Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC countries) in comparison with other countries? This is a question that we addressed by using networks as a tool to analyze the structure of similarities and disparities between countries. We analyzed the number of publications from 2006 to 2015 that are reported by SCImago Journal and Country Rank. With this ...

In a basic economic system, each participant receives a (financial) reward according to his own contribution to the system. In this work, we study an alternative approach – Incentive Networks – in which a participant’s reward depends not only on his own contribution; but also in part on the contributions made by his social contacts or friends. We show that the key parameter effecting the effici...

CloudSim is a useful tool to simulate the cloud environment. It shows the service availability, the power consumption, and the network traffic of services on the cloud environment. Moreover, it supports to calculate a network communication delay through a network topology data easily. CloudSim allows inputting a file of topology data, but it does not provide any generating process. Thus, it nee...

In today's competitive business environment, operators seek to simplify their network topology in order to cut costs and create a convergent network infrastructure that is secure, easy to manage, always available, and capable of providing bandwidth to new multimedia service traffic loads and changing business needs. This paper gives an overview of broadband networks and how to provision service...

A new form of cluster synchronization is explored in cellular arrays of chaotic oscillators. Previously it was shown in the literature that symmetries of the coupling topology with uniform interaction weights lead to several coexisting clusters of synchronized cells. In this study a new phenomenon is presented where highly asymmetric interaction weights can give rise to cluster synchronization ...
