This study was conducted to determine the relationship in Hoagland’s hydroponic culture medium between fluoride at levels of 190, 380, 570, and 950 mg F/ L and the ability of different clones of basket willow (Salix viminalis L.: ‘Bjor’, ‘Jorr’, and ‘Tora’) to take up F. After 14 days of exposure to NaF in the medium, the roots and leaves of seedlings of these three varieties of basket willow w...

Over the past several years, there has been considerable research in the area of mobile ad hoc networks. Most of this research has focused on routing and MAC layer issues. As a result, there are several well known routing algorithms for ad hoc networks like DSDV, DSR, AODV, TORA, ZRP. Network services, on the other hand, still do not exist for ad hoc networks. These services are based on some s...

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have been recently attracting an increasing attention from both research and industry communities. The emerging and promising VANET technology is distinguished from mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and wireless sensor networks (WSN) by large-scale deployed autonomous nodes with abundant exterior assisted information, high mobility with an organized but constrain...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are very considered attractive for many applications. Routing protocol is considered as the most important element of MANET. However, media streaming over MANET is a quite demanding task. In this paper the performances of MANET routing protocols have been investigated for video applications. Some popular routing protocols namely Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad h...

The main objective of the paper is to study the approximation and complexity trade-off capabilities of the recently proposed Tensor Product Distributed Compensation (TPDC) based control design framework. The TPDC is the combination of the TP model transformation and the Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC) framework. The TP model transformation includes an HOSVD based technique to solve the ...

The design of efficient routing protocols is a fundamental problem in a Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET). Many different protocols have been proposed in the literature, each one based on different characteristics and properties. Some of these protocols have been studied and their performance have been evaluated in detail focussing on aspects like routing overhead, latency and route length. In this...

In this paper, new profit maximization for Kano State transport authority resulting from optimal allocation of buses to inter-state routes is considered taking into consideration all the constraints associated. The problem was modeled using linear programming and TORA (a software solving problems) used obtained solution problem. maximum objective value ₦2,203,900.00 daily after 16 iterations a ...
