Abstra ct This paper presents new routing protocol designed for use in AMR and AMM systems using powerline communication (PLC) for data collecting and network control at their last mile. First part of the paper describes the AMR and AMM systems and the reasons for their implementation. Further the narrowb and powerline communication as relatively simple way for data transfers at the last mile i...

We introduce and discuss an interpretative model of the structure and bonding of inorganic crystals containing metallic elements. The central idea is the conception of the crystal structure of such an inorganic compound as a metallic matrix whose geometric and electronic structures govern the formation and localization of the anions in the lattice. This is the reason for labelling the model ani...

Physiological energetics of cobia Rachycentron canadum were quantified for 18 to 82 days posthatch (dph) hatchery-reared juveniles to better understand energy transformation and its implications in growth and survival. Mean oxygen consumption rates (MO2 ; mg O2 h ) of fish fed ad libitum and fish that were starved significantly increased with increasing wet mass (M; g), MO2 1⁄4 1 4291M 8119 and...

Recent experimental studies showed that activated macrophages/microglia (AMM) express excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs), suggesting that, in addition to their neurotoxic properties, they also have a neuroprotective role by clearing extracellular glutamate and producing antioxidant glutathione. To test this hypothesis in human, the brain of 12 HIV-positive patients and 3 controls were i...

We discuss a definition of Morphological Cellular Neural Networks (MCNN) where the state change operator are Auto-associative Morphological Memories (AMM). The fast convergence properties of AMM and the shape of its fixed point set make the MCNN dynamics trivial. However, segmentation results are poor. We propose a Morphological Cellular Automata (MCA) with assured convergence to a state charac...

The present study presents a comparative analysis of different group aggregation methods adopted in AHP by testing them against social choice axioms with a case study of Delhi transport system. The group aggregation (GA) methods and their correctness were tested while prioritizing the alternative options to achieve energy efficient and less polluting transport system in Delhi It was observed th...

Dynamics of FitzHugh-Nagumo (FN) neuron ensembles with delayed couplings subject to white noises, has been studied by using both direct simulations and a semi-analytical augmented moment method (AMM) which has been proposed by the author [H. Hasegawa, E-print: cond-mat/0311021]. For N -unit FN neuron ensembles, AMM transforms original 2N -dimensional stochastic delay differential equations (SDD...

Dynamics of FitzHugh-Nagumo (FN) neuron ensembles with time-delayed couplings subject to white noises, has been studied by using both direct simulations and a semi-analytical augmented moment method (AMM) which has been proposed in a preceding paper [H. Hasegawa, Phys. Rev E xx, yyyy (2004)]. For N -unit FN neuron ensembles, AMM transforms original 2N -dimensional stochastic delay differential ...

The Simon effect refers to the finding that responses are faster when the task-irrelevant stimulus and response location correspond than when they do not. The present study examined the role of location-based response priming and its regulation by an ancillary monitoring mechanism (AMM) for the auditory Simon effect, manipulating response modality and analyzing event-related brain potentials (E...
