Mobile Ad hoc Networks are characterized by multi-hop wireless links, without any infrastructure and frequent node mobility. A class of ant colony based routing protocols has recently gained attention because of their adaptability to the network changes. AntHocNet is ant colony based hybrid algorithm, which combines reactive path setup with proactive path probing, maintenance and improvement. M...

An earthwork for land development projects, which possesses around 20% of the total project cost, consists mainly of simply repetitive tasks such as loading, hauling, dumping, and returning and depends largely on heavy construction machines. The goal of earthwork planning is to minimize the project cost and duration by determining soil allocation, equipment configuration, and haul route. Due to...

Mobile ad hoc network is a col lection of wireless mobile nodes, such devices as PDAs, mobile phones, laptops etc. that are connected over a wireless medium. There is no pre-existing communication infrastructure (no access points, no base stations) and the nodes can freely move and self-organize into a network topology. Hence, balancing the load in a MANET is important because the nodes in MANE...

This paper models the Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) problem with a balance constraint to improve utilisation (completion time) of robots. Our balancing attempts minimise travel distance difference among robots as well allocates an equal set tasks these The clustering-based approach is employed solve Balanced (BMRTA) for two principal reasons. That is, this clusters given into groups using ...

Urban traffic has become increasingly congested in recent years due to the prevalence of personal vehicles. As a result, one major issues cities around world is traffic. Congestion, accidents that take lot time and result property damage, environmental pollution are some traffic- related issues. In this research paper, an automated intelligent control system makes use computer vision image proc...

Wireless mesh networks are a promising technology for providing last-mile broadband wireless Internet to a large number of users spread across large geographical regions. Due to their peculiar limitations and the increasing demand of users for high performance (high throughput, low delays etc), mesh networks have attracted the attention of researchers world-wide. Towards this goal, this dissert...

background: the intraperitoneal injection is a common method for establishing the experimental animal model infected with parasites. the aim of this study was to investigate if the intraperitoneal injection was another route of trichinella spiralis infection. methods:  from june to july 2015, twenty balb/c mice were intraperitoneally injected with 300 t. spiralis muscle larvae in department of ...

The purpose of this paper is to extend a new balancing and ranking method to handle uncertainty for a multiple attribute analysis under a hesitant fuzzy environment. The presented hesitant fuzzy balancing and ranking (HF-BR) method does not require attributes’ weights through the process of multiple attribute decision making (MADM) under hesitant conditions. For the rating of possible alternati...
