D-ITG is a software platform for traffic generation and active measurements which presents several features that make it a robust and flexible tool for networking researchers and developers. In this demo we will show how it is possible to perform several experiments under a variety of network scenarios, which will include usage of novel network protocols and appliances (i.e. Intel network proce...

Long-term outlooks are key tools for policy design in the energy sector. These outlooks should also include scenarios considering active policies that address the challenge of climate change. Consequently such a CO2 emission reduction scenario was analysed as a case study within the ACROPOLIS project. This paper presents a method to derive regional emission targets that correspond to an emissio...

One of the big concerns of big cities is facing with the increase of fossil fuel vehicles in the roads. The cars intensify greenhouse gas emission in civic centers. One approach to reduce the emission is replacing the cars by Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PEVs). In spite of reducing the emission, PEVs have some adverse effect on electric distribution networks. Technical challenges such as load and...

National-level climate actions will be vital in achieving global temperature goals the coming decades. Near-term (2025–2030) plans are laid out Nationally Determined Contributions; next step is submission of long-term strategies for 2050. At present, national scenarios underpinning poorly coordinated and incompatible across countries, preventing assessment individual nations’ policies. Here we ...

nowadays, increasing of greenhouse gases emissionscussed by human activities is the main factor of climate change. global warming has also changed the frequency of extreme rainfall events in many areas. this research presents an analysis of how the change in the frequency of maximum daily rainfall under three emission scenarios in 2021-2040 periods in the khorasan-razavi province. the maximum d...

Assessment of future ecosystem risks should account for the relevant uncertainty sources. This means accounting for the joint effects of climate variables and using modelling techniques that allow proper treatment of uncertainties. We investigate the influence of three of the IPCC's scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions (special report on emission scenarios (SRES)) on projections of the future ...

In this review, we introduce a variety of surface sensitive techniques for the study of organic thin films, and applications to organic devices. These studies include surface plasmon emission light, organic thin film transistors, combination of quartz crystal microbalance and optical waveguide spectroscopy, evaluation of alignment of liquid crystal molecules at surfaces, and biosensor applicati...

(2014) 4(1), 49–61 Summary Monogenic diabetes is estimated to account for 0.5–1.2% of all diabetes cases and remains underdiagnosed. It consists of a variety of subtypes associated with mutations in more than 25 genes. The main groups of monogenic diabetes include maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), permane...

The diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission is produced by cosmic rays (CRs) interacting with the interstellar gas and radiation field. Measurements by the Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) indicated excess γ-ray emission ≥ 1 GeV relative to diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission models consistent with directly measured CR spectra (the so-c...
