we consider a grid network where nodes contain small buffers. a packet that faces a crowded buffer in its route will get extra latency and may be dropped. in this paper, we propose a novel flow control protocol called rfcc for grid networks. rfcc tries to reroute delayed packets and utilizes network coding to introduce a configurable amount of redundant information in the network, thereby incre...

in this paper, the artificial neural network (ann) approach is applied for forecasting groundwater level fluctuation in aghili plain,southwest iran. an optimal design is completed for the two hidden layers with four different algorithms: gradient descent withmomentum (gdm), levenberg marquardt (lm), resilient back propagation (rp), and scaled conjugate gradient (scg). rain,evaporation, relative...

a decrease in natural resources and their non-uniform distribution can affect social relationships between residents ofwatersheds, creating conflict and shifting groupings. the present study used the network analysis method to test thehypothesis that change in hydrologic parameters and water shortages in the village of tutang has led to the new groupingsin the social cooperation network of the ...

in mobile ad hoc networks, the absence ofinfrastructure and the consequent absence of authorizationfacilities impede the usual practice of establishing a practicalcriterion to distinguishing nodes as trusted and distrusted.since all nodes in the manets would be used as router inmulti-hop applications, secure routing protocols have vital rulein the security of the network. so evaluating the perf...

abstract background: the pressure of consumption spots in eater supply systems is one of the most important hydraulic parameters can be used in optimized management of water distribution networks. since the pressure has some different effects on various parameters of the network management including its hydraulic functions, reliability, stability and leakage, its control is of great importance ...

in conventional dea models, decision making units (dmus) are generally assumed as a black-box while the performance of decision making sub-units (dmsus) and their importance play crucial roles in  analyzing the performance of systems which have internal processes. the present paper introduces an ideal network which have efficient processes and next purposes a new approach for evaluating importa...

in a mobile ad hoc network, there are some features such as the ability to exploit multipath effect for information exchange with high reliability and low error rate. dealing with the aggressors and discovering the path in data transmission are of importance. approaching these goals ends in network promotion and efficiency. in this paper, the designed protocol is able to discover multipath fo...
