Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are a particular type of Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) in which the vehicles are considered as nodes. Due to rapid topology changing and frequent disconnection makes it difficult to design an efficient routing protocol for routing data among vehicles. In this paper, a new routing protocol based on glowworm swarm optimization algorithm is provided. Using the g...

INTRODUCTION Ultimately, all medical care should be designed and then delivered with the goal of improving patient outcomes and experience. What constitutes a positive encounter will vary from one patient to another (eg, pain relief in terminal cancer vs curative resection in operable oncologic disease), so care pathways should be tailored to address individual patients’ needs. This tenet holds...

isolation of cell free fetal dna (cffdna) from maternal serum usually leads to very low concentrations of dna impeding further resolving through conventional methods of electrophoresis. although several protocols have been described for capillary electrophoresis (ce) of double stranded dna, they usually need using special polymers or coated capillaries which degrade over time. herein, we propos...

This paper considers the problem of beamforming optimization in an amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying cooperative network, in which the relay node harvests the energy from the radio-frequency (RF) signal. Based on the self-energy recycling relay protocol, we study the beamforming optimization problem. The formulated problem aims to maximize the achievable rate subject to the available transmitte...
