in this paper two nodes to model isotropic and anisotropic media in transmission line matrix method (tlm) are presented. by using these two nodes, the permeability and permittivity of an anisotropic media can be modeled simultaneously. another application of these nodes is in modeling media with permittivity and permeability less than one. in the conventional 2 dimensional tlm, the stubs repres...

Distributed storage systems are mainly justified due to their ability to store data reliably over some unreliable nodes such that the system can have long term durability. Recently, regenerating codes are proposed to make a balance between the repair bandwidth and the storage capacity per node. This is achieved through using the notion of network coding approach. In this paper, a new variation ...

This paper presents the hybrid rendering-based Level-of-Detail (LOD) node which aims to simplify the volume visualization workload to improve the interactive rate of the hybrid rendering programming paradigm. This node utilizes a replacement to provide object-level optimization in between volume and surface models. The indicator for the replacement in the node is based on the distance between v...

For patients refusing surgical treatment for deep early gastric cancer, hybrid natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery with sentinel lymph node navigation is a potential treatment option, particularly when the anatomic location of the cancer has low probability of lymph node metastasis. We report a case of deep early gastric cancer of the fundus beyond the endoscopic submucosal dissecti...

Identifying communities in complex networks is an effective means for analyzing complex systems, with applications in diverse areas such as social science, engineering, biology and medicine. Finding communities of nodes and finding communities of links are two popular schemes for network analysis. These schemes, however, have inherent drawbacks and are inadequate to capture complex organization...

In this paper obligatory hybrid networks of evolutionary processors (a variant of hybrid networks of evolutionary processors model) are proposed. In the obligatory hybrid network of evolutionary processors a node discards the strings to which no operations are applicable. We show that such networks have the same computability power as Turing machines only using one operation per node (deletion ...

An attempt was made to regenerate bulblets from ex vitro node explants of hybrid lilies in the year 2007. Node sections (3-4 mm) isolated from the middle part of the stem in hybrid lilies were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with several combinations of NAA and BA. Growth regulator-free medium was not effective in inducing bulblet regeneration. A significant increase in...

| New formulas for the maximum permissible time step in TLM hybrid nodes modelling anisotropic media are introduced and analyzed. It is shown that the value of the time step in most cases can be higher than that suggested by the minimum node dimension. The chosen value of the time step has signiicant impact on the dispersion characteristics of the hybrid symmetrical condensed node.
