Abstract Frame aggregation is one of the IEEE802.11n wireless networks features. In frame aggregation multiple frames are combined and then sent. However sending a large number of frames in one aggregation frame in an error-prone environment will result in massive frame...

Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of various tumors. In addition to its antitumor activity, cisplatin affects normal cells and may induce adverse effects, such as ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and neuropathy. Various mechanisms, such as ...

AbstractThis paper presents and studies Fredholm integral equations associated with the linear Riemann–Hilbert problems on multiply connected regions with smooth boundary curves. The kernel of these integral equations is the generalized Neumann kernel. The approach is s...

AbstractAdenoviruses have been identified in humans and a wide range of vertebrate animals, but not previously from the polar region. Here, we report the entire 26,340-bp genome of a novel adenovirus, detected by PCR, in tissues of six of nine South Polar skuas (Cathara...

International audience; Breakup of continents in magma-poor setting occurs primarily by faulting and plate thinning. Spatial and temporal variations in these processes can be influenced by the pre-rift basement structure as well as by early syn-rift segmentation of the ...

Abstract This paper presents a boundary integral method for approximating the conformal mappings from any bounded or unbounded multiply connected region G onto the second, third and fourth categories of Koebeʼs canonical slit domains. The method can be also used for cal...

AbstractObjectiveTo determine the disease prevalence and its relationship with hepatitis B and C viruses among school children in five endemic areas by schistosomiasis.MethodsDuring June 2007 and March 2009, 1 484 school children aged between 5 – 16 years participated i...

Abstract This paper presents a boundary integral method for approximating the conformal mapping from bounded multiply connected regions onto the fifth category of Koebe’s classical canonical slit regions. The method is based on a uniquely solvable boundary integral equa...

Abstract In this paper we present a boundary integral equation method for the numerical conformal mapping of bounded multiply connected region onto a parallel slit region. The method is based on some uniquely solvable boundary integral equations with adjoint classical, ...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are important platforms for collecting environmental data and monitoring phenomena. Anomalies caused by hardware and software errors, unusual events, and malicious attacks affect the integrity of data gathered by such networks. Therefore,...
