Reconfigurable hardware can allow acceleration of compute intensive tasks, provide line-rate packet processing capabilities, and in short, expand the range of experiments and applications that can be run on a testbed. Few large-scale networking testbeds have made any concerted effort towards the inclusion of virtualized reconfigurable devices, such as FPGAs, into their systems as allocatable re...

The main goal of this research was to estimate the actual evapotranspiration (ETc) of a drip-irrigated apple orchard located in the semi-arid region of Talca Valley (Chile) using a remote sensing-based soil water balance model. The methodology to estimate ETc is a modified version of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) dual crop coefficient approach, in which the b...

The Source Address Validation Improvement (SAVI) effort aims to complement ingress filtering with finer-grained, standardized IP source address validation. This document describes threats enabled by IP source address spoofing both in the global and finer-grained context, describes currently available solutions and challenges, and provides a starting point analysis for finer-grained (host granul...

Juniperus excelsa subsp. Polycarpos, which Iranians known as the Persian juniper located in the northeast of Iran.ALOS satellite using multispectral band (AVNIR-2) with 10-meter resolution and Panchromatic band (PRISM) with 2.5-meter resolution has been used.Two kinds of method (pixel and object) for tree extraction have been calculated.

Short-lived systemic inflammatory reactions arising from disrupted rules in the innate immune system are the operating platforms of hereditary autoinflammatory disorders (HAIDs). Multiple organs may be involved and aseptic inflammation leading to disease-specific phenotypes defines most HAIDs. Lungs are infrequently involved in children with HAIDs: the most common pulmonary manifestation is ple...

The development of models for synthetic network traffic generation is essential for performance evaluation of transmission systems. The workload generation models are employed in network simulations, testing and performance predictions. This article presents a new model for workload generation of video encoded with MPEG, called SAVI (Scene Aware Video Workload Generation Model). This model prov...
