The performance of a mobile ad hoc network depends on its ability to adapt to changes in the network topology. It is therefore important to understand the relation between node mobility and topology dynamics. While the input parameters of a mobility model allow for generating different simulation scenarios (e.g., by selecting the speed, pause time, system area, and number of nodes), the relatio...

Each artificial dataset consists of 100 000 singleor paired-end reads and was simulated using Mason v0.1.1 [1] from the Human genome (hg19), excluding haplotypes, random contigs, and ‘non-chromosomal’ sequences. For the single-end Illumina datasets, Mason was run in Illumina mode with parameters -hn2, -sq, and the read length (-n) set to 100 and 30 for long and short reads, respectively. For th...

We compared the repeatability, reproducibility (intra- and inter-measurer similarity), separative power and subjectivity (measurer effect on results) of four morphometric methods frequently used in ichthyological research, the "traditional" caliper-based (TRA) and truss-network (TRU) distance methods and two geometric methods that compare landmark coordinates on the body (GMB) and scales (GMS)....

F or the past 30 years, I’ve focused my research activities on gaining a better understanding of the nonlinear development of gravitationally driven instabilities in astrophysical fluid flows. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques that my group at Louisiana State University (LSU) has employed to model various astrophysical phenomena are, broadly speaking, similar to those the engine...
