Cooperation incentives are essential in user-centric networks to motivate users to share services and resources (including bandwidth, computational power, and storage space) and to avoid selfish nodes to hinder the functioning of the entire system. Virtual currency and reputation mechanisms are commonly adopted in online communities to boost participation, but their joint application has not been...
Pollution caused by the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of radio frequencies (RF) generated by the telecommunication system is one of the greatest environmental problems of the twentieth century. The purpose of this research was to verify the existence of a spatial correlation between base station (BS) clusters and cases of deaths by neoplasia in the Belo Horizonte municipality, Minas Gerais state,...
ABH and Lewis antigen expression has been associated with cancer development and prognosis, tumor differentiation, and metastasis. Considering that invasive ductal breast carcinoma (IDC) presents multiple molecular alterations, the aim of the present study was to determine whether the polymorphism of ABO, Lewis, and Secretor genes, as well as ABO phenotyping, could be associated with tumor differentiation...
The adoption of wireless mesh networks as a solution for access networks in indoor and outdoor environments is considered by the academic community and industry as a good alternative for Internet access due to their economic and technical feasibility. However, the existence of proprietary and open-source solutions that are not interoperable and the delay in the standardization makes the deployment...
The increasing demand of multimedia applications requires a new behavior of routing protocols for wireless mesh networks (WMNs). It is necessary to support the minimum requirements for quality of service (QoS), but WMNs also need to support the minimum requirements for quality of experience (QoE). This paper is an additional analysis of the proposed routing protocol OLSR-DC, from a perspective of...
The Transmission Control Protocol - TCP has been widely researched in many different networking technologies such as wireless, optical, satellite, sensor, and wired since it is the most used protocol on the Internet. In Wireless mesh networks, this protocol still has challenges due to its origin and implementations for wired networks. This paper proposes an adaptation on the congestion control mechanism...
Summary form only given. This paper describes a novel generation rescheduling method to reduce the generator rotor shaft impacts induced by transmission loop closures. The rotor shaft impact constraints, at the instant of transmission loop closure, are explicitly modeled into an interior point optimal power flow. This method represents a considerable improvement on the conventional redispatch for...
One of the main problems faced by ad hoc networks is providing specific quality of service guarantees for multimedia applications, mainly due to factors such as radio signal fading and node mobility. Since mesh networks are a special type of ad hoc network, they inherit these networks' problems. This paper's main goal is to present OLSR-MD, an extension to OLSR (optimized link state routing), to provide...
