Mobile underwater sensor networks are usually featured with three-dimensional topology, high node mobility and long propagation delays. For such networks, geographic routing has been shown to be very suitable. However, routing voids pose great challenges on the greedy policy used in most geographic routing protocols. The problem is more severe for underwater sensor networks because of node mobi...

Advances in theoretical ideas on how galaxies formed have not been strongly influenced by the advances in observations of what might be in the voids between the concentrations of ordinary optically selected galaxies. The theory and observations are maturing, and the search for a reconciliation offers a promising opportunity to improve our understanding of cosmic evolution. I comment on the deve...

Transient simulation of refrigeration systems is a relevant tool in the development and optimization of household refrigerators. These models should be accurate but fast. The core of transient refrigeration system simulation is the heat exchanger model as it imposes the system pressures. Dynamic pressure variation inside the heat exchanger is governed by the apparent density and internal energy...

Using a nearest neighbor analysis, we construct a sample of void galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and compare the photometric properties of these galaxies to the population of non-void (wall) galaxies. We trace the density field of galaxies using a volume-limited sample with zmax = 0.089. Galaxies from the flux-limited SDSS with z ≤ zmax and fewer than three volume-limited neig...

in various legal systems, with adoption of the validity of exclusion clause as a rule, in the exceptional instances for the reason of social importance of the matter and contrary to the public policy, exclusion clause is void. thus, in the case of death; bodily injuries; deliberated breach of contract or legal duty ;gross negligence and deception imputed to party relying to exclusion clause, it...

We studied electromigration (EM) lifetimes and void growth at low cumulative failure probability. We carried out EM test in damascene Cu lines using sudden-death type test structures. Its cumulative failure probability ranges from 0.005 to 90%. To investigate the void growth behaviour, Cu microstructures was investigated. EM lifetime shows correlation with the void nucleation site and the void ...

types are also available for the event-driven infrastructure and the parallel processing support. More information is provided in Section 5.2 and Section 6.1. Listing 3.2: C structs of DSPEElement and DSPEComponent. 1 struct DSPEElement { 2 DSPEElement *container; 3 DSPERunner *runner; 4 DSPEOwner *owner; 5 char* (*getID) (const DSPEElement *element); 6 }; 7 8 struct DSPEComponent { 9 DSPEEleme...

We employ the Eshelby–Stroh formalism to study generalized plane strain infinitesimal deformations caused due to the indentation by a rigid circular cylinder of an elastic laminated plate with a throughthe-width rectangular void between two adjoining layers. Assuming that the void does not close during the indentation process, we find the indentation modulus (i.e., the slope of the indentation ...
