Routing protocols in ad hoc networks: A survey
(Elsevier, 2011)
Ad hoc wireless networks perform the difficult task of multi-hop communication in an environment without a dedicated infrastructure, with mobile nodes and changing network topology. Different deployments exhibit various ...
A new perspective in grid connection of electric vehicles: Different operating modes for elimination of energy quality problems
(Elsevier, 2014)
Lately, the depletion as well as negative environmental impacts of fossil fuels have directed the vehicle technology towards new alternative systems. Accordingly, the studies on electric vehicles (EVs) utilizing electric ...
Sizes of the transverse foramina correlate with blood flow and dominance of vertebral arteries
(Elsevier, 2013)
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Knowing the side of the dominant vertebral artery (VA) may be of utmost importance if the VAs are at risk during spine surgery. Determination of the size of VAs is obtained by using Doppler ultrasonography ...
Effects of childhood trauma and clinical features on determining quality of life in patients with bipolar i disorder
(Elsevier, 2014)
Background: We explored how childhood trauma (CHT) affects the clinical expression of disorder and quality of life in patients with bipolar I (BP-I) disorder. Methods Euthymic patients (n=116) who subsequently received a ...
Earthquake damage assessment of 1-story precast industrial buildings using damage probability matrices
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
In this study, risk assessment of 1-story precast building is conducted in probabilistic manner by using damage probability matrices (DPMs). Peak ground velocity (PGV) is used as reference ground motion parameter to associate ...
The Small Index Property For Free Nilpotent Groups
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015)
Let F be a relatively free algebra of infinite rank x.We say that F has the small index property if any subgroup of Gamma = Aut(F) of index at most x contains the pointwise stabilizer Gamma(U) of a subset U of F of cardinality ...
Realization of Dielectric Sheets for Gain Improvement of Ultra-Wideband Horn Antennas Using 3D Printer Technology
(APPLIED COMPUTATIONAL ELECTROMAGNETICS SOC, 2019)
In this work, 3D printing technology had been used to prototyped 10 dielectric sheets with relative dielectric constant of 2.5 for gain improvement of a TEM horn antenna. By loading the 3D printed dielectric sheets to the ...
Negative outcomes in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder comorbid with oppositional defiant disorder
(Cambridge University Press, 2014)
Objectives. In children and adolescents diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the comorbidity of the oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) negatively affects the course of ADHD. The purpose of this ...
Parameters derived from compound muscle action potential scan for discriminating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-related denervation
(Wiley, 2019)
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine compound muscle action potential (CMAP) scan parameters and MScanFit motor unit number estimation (MUNE) in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and ...
A Roadside Study of Observable Driver Distractions
(Taylor&Francis, 2015)
Objective: This study investigated the prevalence of observable distractions while driving and the effect of drivers' characteristics and time-related variables on their prevalence. Methods: Using roadside observation, 2 ...
