In this paper we study the problem of building a connected dominating set with constant degree (CCDS) in the dual graph radio network model. This model includes two types of links: reliable links, which always deliver ...

During the summer of 1976, the Massachussetts Institute of Technology Artificial Intelligence Laboratory sponsored a Student Science Training Program in Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science for high ability ...

Since the pioneering report of the discovery of graphene in 2004 by Novoselov et al, scientists and researchers worldwide have carried out in depth investigations in this new family of carbon because of its myriad properties ...

This study was carried out under various experimental conditions and rate of dye adsorption such as the solution pH, the adsorbent preparation concentration, and contact time to assess the potentiality of Kentucky coffee ...

Many studies have shown that smart homes can use energy more efficiently than traditional buildings. Thus, several researchers have advocated building a smart home in order to reduce energy consumption. In the literature, ...

Slug flow along slightly inclined horizontal pipes is a major problem in gas-liquid transportation, it is very pronounced in chemical, oil and gas processing industries. In reality, there is no absolute horizontal pipe due ...

The growth of mobile computing is changing the way people communicate. Mobile devices, especially mobile phones, have become cheaper and more powerful, and are able to run more applications and provide networking services. ...

Reasoning about motion is an important part of our commonsense knowledge, involving fluent spatial reasoning. This work studies the qualitative and geometric knowledge required to reason in a world that consists of ...

Recently, deep learning techniques have been used significantly for large scale image classification targeting wildlife prediction. This research adopted a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) and proposed a deep scalable ...

The effect of liquid flow rate, pipe size (diameter) and pipe orientation (inclination) on liquid hold-up was investigated. Liquid flow rate between 500 STB/day and 5000 STB/day was studied. An oil of 25 ̊API at an average ...

Conversion of lignocellulosic biomass from bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) to butanol is an important alternative energy source. In this work, bamboo was used as biomass feedstock for the production of butanol by the fermentation ...

Style translation is the process of transforming an input motion into a new style while preserving its original content. This problem is motivated by the needs of interactive applications, which require rapid processing ...

In their paper, "Rational Secure Computation and Ideal Mechanism Design," Izmalkov, Lepinski and Micali show that any one-shot mediated game can be simulated by the players themselves, without the help of a trusted mediator, ...

A hierarchical representation for configuration space is presented, along with an algorithm for searching that space for collision-free paths. The detail of the algorithm are presented for polygonal obstacles and a ...

This dissertation reports on the results on an exploratory investigation into the potential efficacy of VR as both a support mechanism to people living with HIV I AIDS, as well its capabilities as an emotive medium. Two ...

SUBM is a CONVERT program, realized in the CTSS LISP of Project MAC, for constructing the subset machine with the same behaviour as a given transition system. The program interactively collects the six items defining a ...

Landslides occur both onshore and offshore. However, little attention has been given to offshore landslides (submarine landslides). Submarine landslides have significant impacts and consequences on offshore and coastal ...

Online auction is an essence of many modern markets, particularly networked markets, in which information about goods, agents, and outcomes is revealed over a period of time, and the agents must make irrevocable decisions ...
