As wireless sensor network (WSN) is often deployed in a hostile environment, nodes in the networks are prone to large-scale failures, resulting in the network not working normally. In this case, an effective restoration scheme is needed to restore the faulty network timely. Most of existing restoration schemes consider more about the number of deployed nodes or fault tolerance alone, but fail t...

The number of shrinking cities is rapidly growing and posing new planning design challenges worldwide. In this regard, understanding urban decline from an integrated ecosystem services/disservices perspective limited in the literature considered as a critical basis for revitalization programs. Minoo Island one emerging cases Middle East has considerable characteristics terms both positive negat...

Zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) is usually applied clinically as dental filling material for thermal insulation and temporary restoration. The objective of this study was to use ZOE as a composite matrix and low melting-point polyester fibers or fabrics as reinforcement. The added fibers or fabrics increased the composite materials’ compressive load by 250 N and 290 N, respectively. Fiber length and t...

The prevalence of koala retrovirus (KoRV) provirus (DNA) and the average number of proviral insertions per cell vary in different free-ranging koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) populations across Australia. Populations in the northern states of Queensland and New South Wales have 100% proviral prevalence and mean proviral copy number of 140–165 per cell. In contrast, the proviral prevalence in the...

Iii this paper, we present the results of a study of routing algorithms for traf ic restoration after a failure in d virtual circuit packet switched wide area network. ,Ytnndard routing algorithrns based on rniiiiinizing the steady state network delay may not be appropriate for rerouting the calls after a failure, in view of the transient congestion. Here we propose alternative routing schemes ...
