Double-outlet right atrium (DORA) is characterized by simultaneous right atrial emptying into both ventricles. Ventriculoatrial septal malalignment is the cardinal morphological feature. Three cases are presented to depict two major types of DORA-DORA with a malaligned atrial septum and DORA with a malaligned ventricular septum. We describe two subtypes of each form of DORA: DORA with a malalig...

Wake-up radio (WuR) system is often presented as the best candidate for replacing traditional duty cycled Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The Double Radio (DoRa) protocol is a new MAC protocol for in-band WuR system with addressing capabilities. While the DoRa protocol improves the WSNs energy efficiency, it still suffers from an overhearing problem whe...

The main contribution of this paper is a new online routing algorithm, called Dynamic Online Routing Algorithm (DORA), for dynamic setup of bandwidth guaranteed paths in MPLS networks. The goal of DORA is to accept as many network path setup requests as possible by carefully mapping paths with reserved bandwidth evenly across the network. The key operation behind DORA is to avoid routing over l...

Cells use biological signal transduction pathways to respond to environmental stimuli and the behavior of many cell types depends on precise sensing and transmission of external information. A notable property of signal transduction that was characterized in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cell and many mammalian cells is the alignment of dose-response curves. It was found that the dose resp...

The symposium Bibliometrics: Use and Abuse in the Review of Research Performance, held in Stockholm, 23–25 May 2013, fell within the context of an initiative to put an end to the misuse of JIF (journal impact factors), embodied in the San Francisco DORA (Declaration on Research Assessment) [1] instigated in December 2012 at the meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology. Interestingly, ju...

Dealing with uncertainty is one of the major challenges when constructing autonomous mobile robots. The CogX project addressed key aspects of that by developing and implementing mechanisms for selfunderstanding and self-extension – i.e. awareness of gaps in knowledge, and the ability to reason and act to fill those gaps. We discuss our robot called Dora, a showcase outcome of that project. Dora...

We present the beginnings of an account of how representations and processes developed for the purposes of reflective reasoning provide a basis for reflexive reasoning as well. Specifically, we show how the symbolic-connectionist representations that underlie the DORA model (Doumas & Hummel, 2005), and the comparison based routines that DORA exploits in the service of addressing reflective prob...

Dora, the robot, is trying to find object in its environment. Instead of just exhaustively searching everywhere, Dora is equipped with probabilistic reasoning, representations, and planning to exploit uncertain common-sense knowledge, such as that cornflakes are usually found in kitchens, while also accounting for the uncertainty of sensing in the real-world. Dora demonstrates how to combine ta...

This paper presents the DoRa protocol, which is a new cross-layer protocol for handling the double radio of nodes in wake-up radio scenario. The implementation details in OMNET++/MiXiM are also given, with a focus on the implemented MAC layers. The main goal of the DoRa protocol is to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor network, by taking full advantage of the passive wake-up scheme. T...
