This demo presents a novel multirate multicast scheme for video delivery to wireless users. We demonstrate an adaptive scheme that combines differential backlog scheduling and intelligent packet dropping, both based on ...

Comparisons among populations from different localities represent an important tool in the study of evolution. Medflies have colonized many temperate and tropical areas all over the world during the last few centuries. In ...

An active research direction in Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is the integration of PSO variants in adaptive, or self-adaptive schemes, in an attempt to aggregate their characteristics and their search dynamics. In ...

2. Asexual organisms rely on mutation whereas sexual organisms combine mutation with recombination. 3. Few organisms provide examples of species that are both sexual and asexual, but aphids do. 4. To examine evolution on ...

This paper investigates the impact of a climate change scenario on comfort and energy performance in offices, in relation to the influence of building design and occupants. It focuses on a typical cellular office room in ...

Strong heat waves in the past decade and resulting legal cases which gave full responsibility for indoor thermal comfort to building professionals lead to an increased uncertainty how to maintain thermal comfort in offices ...

This paper investigates the impact of climate change on comfort and energy performance in offices in relation to the influence of building design and occupants. It focuses on a typical cellular office room in the context ...

In this paper we present an advanced image analysis tool for the accurate characterization and quantification of cancer and apoptotic cells in microscopy images. Adaptive thresholding and Support Vector Machines classifiers ...

This paper investigates the influence of different building use by companies and individual occupants on thermal and visual comfort, energy consumption and CO2 emissions in mixed mode offices. Adaptive thermal comfort ...

We investigate from an algorithmic perspective the maxmin fair allocation of bandwidth in wireless ad hoc networks. We formalize the maxmin fair objective under wireless scheduling constraints, and present a necessary and ...
