This thesis presents an investigation into improving the longevity of wireless ad hoc networks. The primary contribution of this study is an augmentation algorithm that takes a two-dimensional network arrangement and systematically adds augmented nodes to create a bi-connected topology. Simulations were run to compare the performance of these augmented networks with their initial layouts. Addit...

Knee bracing has been used to realize a variety of functional outcomes in both sport and rehabilitation application. Much of the literature focuses on the effect of knee misalignment, force reduction and superiority of custom braces over commercial over-the-counter braces. Efforts on developing exoskeletons to serve as knee augmentation systems emphasize actuation of joints, which then adds to ...

A high power electronic chip was simulated experimentally to investigate upper cooling capabilities using a variety of pool boiling enhancement techniques. Parametric effects of system pressure, subcooling, surface augmentation, and choice of coolant on boiling heat transfer from a vertical 12.7'x 12.7 mm flat surface were examined. The two fluorocarbon coolants tested, FC-72 and FC-87, resulte...

Gartner’s cyst accounts for 11% of all vaginal cysts. It results from total or partial occlusion duct, the mesonephric duct remainder. is often located in anterior lateral wall vagina cervix to introitus, however it has exceptionally been described posterior location also.It typically small and asymptomatic occurs along walls vagina, following course duct. Rarely can be congenital., ,

The present importance of breast augmentation (BA) is shown by year-on-year increases: with 8439 augmentations performed by BAAPS members in 2007 the UK still lags America where 307,000 were performed. Having survived an almost hysterical media reaction to perceived silicone health risks in the 1990s, a growing body of evidence attests to the demonstrable benefits of BA. Improved implant design...

The models that are based of fractional derivatives should be highlighted among promising new models to describe turbulent fluid flows. In the present work, a steadystate flow in a duct is considered under the condition that the turbulent diffusion is governed by a fractional power of the Laplace operator. To study numerically flows in rectangular channels, finite-difference approximations are ...

introduction: given the importance of identifying common bile duct diameter in diseases diagnoses and being different in different races, this paper aimed to investigate the relationship between the diameter of the common bile duct and demographic factors and drug addiction in patients who referred to the imaging department of imam reza hospital in birjand during the year 1391-1392. methods: th...

The performance of any machine learning model largely depends on the type input data provided. higher volume and variety data, better models get trained, thereby producing more accurate results. However, it is a challenging task to high in some cases containing enough variety. Handwritten character recognition for Odia language one them. NITROHCS v1.0 handwritten characters ISI image database n...
