Research on selfish nodes in wireless ad hoc networks has received considerable attention recently. However, most work concentrates on throughput study of the effects of selfish nodes, but lacks an analytical study to accurately predict the delay. With the rising popularity of delay-sensitive real-time multimedia applications (video, voice and data) in wireless ad hoc networks, it is becoming important to study the MAC delay performance of ad hoc networks in the presence of selfish nodes. In this paper, based on a two-dimensional Markov chain model, we analyze the medium access delay with selfish nodes. The proposed analysis applies both the basic access and the RTS/CTS access mechanisms. Through extensive simulations, the analytical model and delay results of selfish nodes and well-behavior nodes are validated using IEEE 802.11 DCF protocol.

A social network represents a social community as a directed graph. Communication on the Web has given rise to social network formation like, Web Community, Referral System etc. An earlier effort has proposed a data model for such Web-based social network. Present paper discusses the relevant index structures for processing queries on a social network schema based upon the proposed data model. The paper has also provided evaluation of the structural operators proposed in the data model and discussed their efficacy with query examples.

We propose a two-dimensional electron-gas (2DEG) system in which an external magnetic field with a small chirality is applied to provide a topological spin gauge field that separates conduction electrons of opposite spins in the transverse direction. Additionally, the vertical electric field in the 2DEG, together with spin-orbit coupling, produces a SU(2) gauge field which reinforces or opposes the effect of the spin gauge. The system thus provides a tunable spin separation effect, where an applied gate voltage on the 2DEG can be used to modulate the transverse spin current. As this method leads to the enhancement or cancellation of spin separation due to the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling effect only, it may naturally distinguish the extrinsic effect from the intrinsic one.

This research integrates Taguchi's parameter design method, back-propagation neural networks (BPNN), and Davidon-Fletcher-Powell (DFP) method to optimize the process parameter settings of plastic injection molding. Taguchi's parameter design method is used to arrange an orthogonal array experiment and to reduce the number of set-test cycles. Injection Time, Velocity Pressure Switch Position, Packing Pressure, and Injection Velocity are selected as process control parameters and product weight is selected as the single product quality. The experimental data of Taguchi's parameter design method are used for effectively training and testing BPNN. Then, BPNN is combined with DFP to search out the final optimal process parameter settings. Finally, a confirmation experiment is performed to confirm the effectiveness of the final optimal process parameter settings. The experimental results show that the proposed effective process parameter optimization approach can avoid shortcomings inherent in the application of trial-and-error processes or the conventional Taguchi parameter design method. Furthermore, the proposed approach can effectively assist engineers in determining optimal initial process parameter settings and achieving competitive advantages on product quality and costs.

Cluster formation and cluster head selection are important problems in sensor network applications and can drastically affect the network’s communication energy dissipation. However, the selection of cluster head is not easy in different environments which may have different characteristics. In this paper, in order to deal with this problem we propose a power reduction algorithm for sensor networks based on fuzzy logic and number of neighbor nodes. We evaluate the proposed system by simulations and show that proposed system makes a good selection of the cluster head.

The Okayama muon telescope and the extensive air shower (EAS) array in Large Area Air Shower (LAAS) experiments were used to measure both muon and electron components in EAS events. The average ratio of the number of muon tracks to electron tracks 0.01 ± 0.005 was derived from this analysis, which is consistent with the typical core distance of EAS from the telescope in PeV energies derived from EAS simulation results.

The sidereal anisotropy of cosmic rays with energy in the range of 10 14 – 10 15 eV was obtained by using Large Area Air Show (LAAS) experiments which deployed extensive air shower (EAS) arrays in large part of Japan. The first harmonic amplitude and phase in a function of right ascension axis are ( 0.23 ± 0.04 ) × 10 −2 and 0.4 ± 0.7 hour, respectively, and those of the second harmonics are ( 0.06 ± 0.04 ) × 10 −2 and 7.5 ± 2.6 hour, respectively. The first harmonic amplitude are compared with the diffusive mode of cosmic ray propagation, which predicts the dependence of anisotropy amplitudes on primary cosmic ray rigidities. The exponent value of rigidity dependence of diffusion coefficient is estimated as 0.34 ± 0.01 , in good agreement with Kolmogorov type spectrum of turbulence of galactic magnetic filed. Although a sky map in equatorial coordinates indicates excess and deficit regions above the isotropic expectation, their deviations were consistent with statistical ones, and more statistics are required to point the region and the opening angle of them.
