We present a new distributed algorithm for code assignment in a multihop radio network. The algorithm is based on the Saturation-Degree coloring scheme proposed in [1], which has proved better than earlier attempts at solving the problem. A crucial parameter of the proposed algorithm is the depth of the neighborhood that must be considered when a local decision must be taken. By tuning this par...

Cross relaxation between macromolecular protons and water protons is known to be important in biologic tissue. In magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequences, selective saturation of the characteristically short T2 macromolecular proton pool can produce contrast called magnetization transfer contrast, based on the cross-relaxation process. Selective saturation can be achieved with continuous wave...

In this paper, we investigated the effect of chromaticity and luminance of surround to decide subject neutral white, and conducted a mathematical model of adapting degree for environment. Factors for adapting degree consist of two parts, adapting degree of ambient chromaticity and color saturation. These can be applied to color appearance models (CAM), actually improve the performance of color ...

The presence of small vesicles composed of phospholipid and cholesterol has recently been demonstrated in super-saturated model and in dilute native human biles by several groups using differing methods. Among compositional factors shown to favor spontaneous vesicle formation and prolong the cholesterol monohydrate nucleation time in model bile systems are dilution, a raised cholesterol saturat...

The extensive application of natural unbound granular materials (UGMs) motivates studies into the mechanical properties alternatives such as processed crushed rocks employed commonly base or subbase layers. rutting and settlement generated in layers is widely restricted many specifications standards. In this research, dynamic behavior including resilient modulus (Mr) plastic strain (??p) collec...
