Several routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks work efficiently only in bidirectional networks. Unidirectional links may exist in a real network due to variation in transmission power of different nodes, noise or other signal propagation phenomena, and heterogeneity in transmission hardware of nodes in the network. We introduce a sub-layer called Sub Routing Layer, SRL, between the networ...

We review and illustrate our recent results on globally stable synchronization in directed oscillator networks. We consider asymmetrically connected networks with node balance, the property that the sum of the coupling coefficients of all edges directed to a node equals the sum of the coupling coefficients of all the edges directed outward from the node. We show that for such directed but node ...

The unidirectional transmission technology is designed to protect the confidentiality of data on the high assurance network. It allows data to transmit only in one direction and prevents the use of acknowledgements or other connection-oriented mechanisms. This makes packet loss become a key issue in unidirectional transmission because of its influence on reliability and performance. In this pap...

Gradient distribution of vascular structure made the bamboo wall so effective which improved load-bearing capacity such bio-mimicked energy absorption structures and modify crush behavior thin-walled composite tubes. In this research, influence layering design stacking sequence on behavior, failure mechanism absorbed bamboo-inspired GFRP tubes is assessed experimentally numerically. Quasi-stati...

The present study concentrates on a series of experiments and numerical analyses for understanding the effects fiber volume fraction ( VF) draw ratio DR) effective elastic properties unidirectional composites made from an epoxy resin matrix with continuous reinforcement. Lyocell-type regenerated cellulose filaments (Ioncell) spun DRs 3, 6, 9 were used. In accordance specimens in situ, fibers mo...

Atrial fibrillation, a common cardiac arrhythmia, is promoted by atrial dilatation. Acute atrial dilatation may play a role in atrial arrhythmogenesis through mechanoelectric feedback. In experimental studies, conduction slowing and block have been observed in acutely dilated atria. In the present study, the influence of the stretch-activated current (I(sac)) on impulse propagation is investiga...

Particulated fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite pipes encompass unidirectional continuous glass fibers (hoop glass), resin (thermoset vinylester) matrix, chop (discontinuous short fibers), and particulate reinforcement (sand) impregnated into resin. They are categorized based on their nominal diameter, pressure class, stiffness class. Mechanical characteristics of this class materials hav...
