Performance analysis of IEEE 802.11p safety message broadcast with and without relaying at road intersection by Md. Noor-A-Rahim, G. G. Md. Nawaz Ali, Nguyen, Hieu, Guan, Yong Liang

“…This paper first analyzes and then provides solution on improving the broadcasting performance of the DSRC safety message at an intersection while considering the IEEE 802.11p enhanced distributed channel access mechanism. To facilitate different communication and carrier sensing ranges of different vehicles, we divide the intersection region into few parts/areas based on an empirically validated path loss model. …”

The history of Koi aquaculture in Singapore from 1965 to the present : translating translocated scientific knowledge from Japan into biosecurity by Tan, Delfinn Sweimay

“…The protocol was then transferred to Singapore and officials used a militarized concept of disease to translate the protocol into biosecurity regulations. This facilitated the formation of new koi-cultivation practices in the form of strict quarantine and certification measures that impacted farm practices and eventually the ornamental fish aquaculture industry in general. …”
