This work reports a simple and scalable strategy to prepare a series of thermoresponsive polyurethanes synthesized via copolymerization of dicyclohexyl diisocyanate with glycerol ethoxylate in a single one-pot system. These ...

The growth of population density in some areas of the planet and the increasing fast advances in technology and energy issues, have resulted in a remarkable increment in the necessity for goods and services, with a subsequent ...

Packet sampling is needed to measure network traffic scalably at high speeds. While many sampled-based measurement techniques have been developed in the recent past, most approaches select packets uniformly, without regard ...

The construction of suffix tree for very long sequences is essential for many applications, and it plays a central role in the bioinformatic domain. With the advent of modern sequencing technologies, biological sequence ...

P2P systems are nowadays being used not only for file sharing but also for developing large-scale distributed applications. As an emerging paradigm for distributed computing, P2P systems are raising important issues as ...

Significant power is consumed at a sensor node when it either transmits a packet or when it receives a packet. In this paper, we study energy efficiency as a function of the number of sensors in the network and the payload ...

The present work proposes to develop a Fault Tolerant Control strategy based on Robust Efficient Predictive Control for non-linear systems that can be modeled using a polytopic model. The proposed Efficient Predictive ...

With the fast development in Cloud storage technologies and ever increasing use of Cloud data centres, data privacy and confidentiality has become a must. Indeed, Cloud data centres store each time more sensitive data such ...

Biologically inspired strategies have long been adapted to swarm robotic systems, including biased random walks, reaction to chemotactic cues and long-range coordination. In this paper we apply analysis tools developed for ...
