the dynamic probe is an effective tool used in site investigation. it is more economic than the use of direct drilling, particularly in explorations with moderate depth. this paper presents an experimental study to investigate the capability of using dynamic probing to evaluate the shear strength and compaction percent of fine soil. a series of dynamic probe tests were carried out at 6 differen...

A confidential and effective probing is fundamental to a cooperative and cognitive wireless network. Previous seminar works are not deadline sensitive, and often suffer from highly dynamic multi-channel environments. As they focus more on transmitting packets with the optimal channel, resources are not efficiently used when sufficient channels are available in multi-radio multi-channel systems....

This paper presents a distributed channel probing scheme for wireless networks. By transmitting a probing signal in a channel and measuring the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), a wireless node can estimate channel admissibility and predict its required transmission power without fully powering up. The channel probing scheme can be used as part of a distributed channel allocation algorithm, a...

In Iran, using the hand excavated pits (wells) have been more common compared to other countries. As a matter of fact, recent years, utilizing the dynamic probing test (DPT) in these types of pits has been significantly developed in Iran. This is while the standard state of doing this test is from the ground level. In this work, the dynamic probing test is carried out in two similar wells with ...

conclusions cigarette smoking increased some periodontal indexes including pcr and cal, and reduced bop (p < 0.05). results there was not a significant difference in the prevalence of isolated microorganisms between the smokers and nonsmokers. however, the cigarette smoking group had adverse effect on other periodontal indices including pcr, cal, and bop. the mean pcr and cal were significantly...

purpose: to determine long-term outcomes of probing in adult patients with nasolacrimal duct (nld) obstruction. methods: patients older than 20 years admitted in labaffinejad hospital with complete nasolacrimal duct obstruction were studied. the selected patients underwent probing under local anesthesia and cases with successful nld probing enrolled the study. patients were examined during the ...

Abstract—This report describes our ongoing work on a new end-to-end available-bandwidth measurement tool: FEAT (Fish-Eye Availablebandwidth Tool). FEAT features a new dynamic pattern of probes called a Fisheye Stream. One fisheye stream covers a range of packet probing rates. A fisheye stream consists of a focus region, where the probing rates are sampled more frequently and the number of packe...

statement of problem: the replacement of missing teeth with implant-associated restorations has become a widely used treatment modality in recent years. the length of dental implants may be a critical factor in achieving and maintaining osseointegration. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate and bone loss of dental implants with different lengths materials and methods...
