Routing and Clustering of Sensor Nodes in the Honeycomb Architecture by Amine Rais, Khalid Bouragba, Mohammed Ouzzif

“…Hierarchy structuring of the network into clusters allows reducing the energy consumption by using small distance transmissions within clusters in a multihop manner. In this article, we choose to use a hybrid routing protocol named Efficient Honeycomb Clustering Algorithm (EHCA), which is at the same time hierarchical and geographical protocol by using honeycomb clustering. …”

Methods of saponin purification from Quillaja sp. for vaccine adjuvant production by Victor Morais, Norma Suarez, Fernando Silveira

“…The adjuvant properties of saponins were known many years ago, but only in recent years have saponins been approved for human vaccine use in this manner. Saponins from Quillaja saponaria bark are the only source of approved preparations for human use, but a related species, Quillaja brasiliensis, also contains similar saponin compositions that can be obtained from leaves. …”

Applied quasi-cyclic LDPC codes from doubly-extended RS code and cyclic MDS code by ZHANG Guo-hua, WANG Xin-mei

“…Based on doubly-extended RS codes and cyclic MDS codes,two construction schemes were proposed for ap-plied quasi-cyclic LDPC codes whose Tanner graph is free of 4-cycles.In the first approach,all the nonzero codewords within a doubly-extended RS code were employed,and hence provided more flexible parameters than the original or sin-gly-extended RS codes.Equivalent to the method from doubly-extended RS code,a straightforward procedure was de-rived,by which given generator polynomial of an RS code,LDPC codes could be constructed directly without pretreat-ment such as double extension and classification of codewords.In the second method,generator polynomials of cyclic MDS codes were utilized in a straightforward manner to build quasi-cyclic LDPC codes with its Tanner graph free of 4-cycles.Experimental results showed that the constructed codes from the two methods perform well over AWGN channels.…”

The explananda in North Germanic Tonogenesis by Tomas Riad

“…A prosodic post-lexical rule – present in all dialects today – assigns the word tone of accent 2, which subsequently becomes lexicalized in a morpheme by morpheme manner. The developments of a postposed definite article and epenthetic vowels, processes that are always mentioned as instrumental in demonstrating the lexical distinction (B) do not directly bear on tonogenesis as such. …”
