Many contributions rely on the degree distribution of the Internet topology. However, current knowledge of this property is based on biased and erroneous measurements and is subject to much debate. Recently, in [7], a new approach, referred to as the Neighborhood Flooding method, was proposed to avoid issues raised by classical measurements. It aims at measuring the neighborhood of Internet cor...

several studies have shown that oil recovery significantly increased by low salinity water flooding (lswf) in sandstones. however, mechanism of oil recovery improvement is still controversial. co2 that develops buffer in presence of water is expected as a deterrent factor in lswf efficiency based on mechanism of ift reduction due to ph uprising. no bright evidence in literature supports this id...

In this paper we propose a new protocol for reliable multicast in a multihop mobile radio network. The protocol is reliable, i.e., it guarantees message delivery to all multicast nodes even when the topology of the network changes during multicasting. The proposed protocol uses a core-based shared tree. The multicast tree may get fragmented due to node movements. The notion of a forwarding regi...

In the Risk-Informed Safety Margin Characterization (RISMC) approach we want to understand not just the frequency of an event like core damage, but how close we are (or are not) to key safety-related events and how might we increase our safety margins. The RISMC Pathway uses the probabilistic margin approach to quantify impacts to reliability and safety by coupling both probabilistic (via stoch...

Next Generation Networks (NGN) focuses to improve the telecommunication core and access networks and plan to transport all the services by encapsulating them into packets via a single IP based network. IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) serves as a Service Delivery Platform for NGN. Conference, one of the main services provided by the IMS, allows the multiple users to communicate at a time. This ser...
