This paper considers the role of ownership form for the financial performance of German acute care hospitals and its development over time.

In ad-hoc network, mobile nodes are free to move. They can join or leave the network at any moment of time. Due to this dynamicity, working of network may gets disturbed affecting network performance in terms of throughput, delay, fairness. Considering this we have to focus on various parameters of mobile node. This paper focused on speed and packet drop of mobile nodes. Obtained result is usef...
