Distributed algorithms in wireless sensor networks: An approach for applying binary consensus in a real testbed
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
In this work, we realize the binary consensus algorithm for use in wireless sensor networks. Binary consensus is used to allow a collection of distributed entities to reach consensus regarding the answer to a binary question ...
Effect of vortex order on helical-phased donut mode launch in multimode fiber
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Optical fiber sensors based on mode division multiplexing (MDM) play an increasingly vital role for real-time multi-parameter measurements. For multimode fibers, the central core region typically has defects in the refractive ...
Measurements of laminar flame speeds of alternative gaseous fuel mixtures
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
Global warming and the ever increasing emission levels of combustion engines have forced the engine manufacturers to look for alternative fuels for high engine performance and low emissions. Gaseous fuel mixtures such as ...

Optical mode division multiplexing for secure Ro-FSO WLANs
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
The widespread deployment of various wireless radio access systems in public areas poses acute issues in frequency assignment. Radio-over-free-space-optics (Ro-FSO) technology enhances spectral efficiency and may pave the ...
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors extracted from tobacco smoke as neuroprotective factors for potential treatment of Parkinson’s disease
(
Bentham Science Publishers B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of mainly the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, which leads to motor dysfunction. Although, most of the drugs are currently used for ...
Glucose- and triglyceride-lowering dietary penta-O-galloyl-α-D-glucose reduces expression of PPARγ and C/EBPα, induces p21-Mediated G1 phase cell cycle arrest, and inhibits adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes
(
Thieme
, 2015 , Article)
Plant polyphenols, such as hydrolysable tannins, are present in the human diet and known to exhibit anti-diabetic and anti-obesity activity. We previously reported that the representative hydrolysable tannin compound ...
Cultural traditions and architectural form of Italian transnational houses in Australia
(
ArchNet
, 2015 , Article)
The purpose of this article is to investigate the connection between cultural traditions and house form which, according to scholars, is in danger of being lost, and so contribute to the revival of critical interest in ...
Statin Selection in Qatar Based on Multi-indication Pharmacotherapeutic Multi-criteria Scoring Model, and Clinician Preference
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Purpose Statin selection for the largest hospital formulary in Qatar is not systematic, not comparative, and does not consider the multi-indication nature of statins. There are no reports in the literature of multi-indic ...
Implications of external price referencing of pharmaceuticals in Middle East countries
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Introduction: External price referencing (EPR) is applied frequently to control pharmaceutical prices. Our objective was to analyse how EPR is used in Middle Eastern (ME) countries and to compare the price corridor for ...
