The imminent inception of third-generation mobile communication technologies and continual proliferation of wireless local area networks offer an unprecedented opportunity for the development of video streaming applications through wireless Internet access. Different design challenges exist in implementing video streaming connections spanning both wired and wireless domains. This paper proposes...

High throughput sequencing (HTSeq) of small ribosomal subunit amplicons has the potential for a comprehensive characterization of microbial community compositions, down to rare species. However, the error-prone nature of the multi-step experimental process requires that the resulting raw sequences are subjected to quality control procedures. These procedures often involve an abundance cutoff fo...

objective: to compare the pregnancy outcomes achieved by in vitro fertilization (ivf) between minimal stimulation and conventional antagonist protocols in poor ovarian responders (pors). materials and methods: in this randomized controlled trial, 77 pors undergoing ivf were selected and divided into two groups. first group was the minimal stimulation group (n = 42) receiving 100 mg/day clomiphe...

today, optimal performance and cost advantages of using internet telephony are obvious. despite current standardized techniques, voice transferring through protocol (voip) has lower security than traditional telephony. one of the most important security issues which should be noticed in using voip is end -to-end user2 identity, i.e. when  there is a connection between user a and b, user a shoul...

quorum-based power saving (qps) protocols allow “asynchronous” wireless hosts, operating in a multi-hop ad-hoc network, to tune to the low power mode conceived in ieee 802.11 mac standard. qps schemes guarantee that the wake-up schedule for every two neighboring hosts would ultimately overlap within a bounded latency so as to be able to accomplish their reciprocal “unicast” communications. a ma...

the aim of this paper is to assess the adaptation of iran’s energy policies to the kyoto protocol. in the past two decades, iran has experienced a considerable increase in greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions; in 2013 it was the world’s ninth largest emitter. although adapting to this protocol in iran’s energy and climate policies seems vital and urgent, its recent status is not promising. this paper...

this study aims to delve into the unobservable dimensions of deciding and acting in a pragmatically significant speech event. utilizing a discourse completion test questionnaire, it seeks to find out the structure and pragmatic functions that lie behind efl learners’ choice of specific wording while engaged in performing a recurrent speech act in iran i.e. compliments. to this aim, 30 efl learn...

Machine type communications (MTC) in 3G/4G networks is getting more attention recently due to bursty nature of traffic characteristics in contrast to Poisson type H2H traffic. A large number of methods have been suggested in the literature. In this paper we give a mathematical model on performance analysis of Disjoint Allocation (DA) and Joint Allocation (JA) methods for allocating preambles to...

We investigate the role of a time and spin-dependent phase shift on evolution one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks. By employing Floquet engineering, ($\phi$) is imprinted onto walker's wave function while it shifts from one lattice site to another. For walk driven by standard protocol we show with our numerical simulations that complete revivals equal periods occur in probability distri...

The SSL/TLS protocol is widely used in data encryption transmission. Aiming at the problem of detecting SSL/TLS-encrypted malicious traffic with small-scale and unbalanced training data, a deep-forest-based detection method called DF-IDS proposed this paper. According to characteristics SSL/TSL protocol, network was split into sessions according 5-tuple information. Each session then transforme...
