Intergating multiple metrics to improve the performance of a routing protocol over wireless mesh networks by Rahman, Md. Arafatur, Azad, Md. Saiful, Anwar, Farhat

“…This approach implicitly assumes that links either work well or don't work at all. While often true in wired networks, this is not a reasonable approximation in the wireless case; since many wireless links have intermediate loss ratios, interference problem, low throughput etc. …”

Network performance of pruned hierarchical torus network by Rahman, M.M. Hafizur, Xiaohong, Jiang, Masud, Md. Shahin Al, Susumu, Horiguchi

“…We have explored the network diameter, average distance, bisection width, peak number of vertical links, and VLSI layout area of different HTN. It is shown that the pruned HTN possesses several attractive features including small diameter, small average distance, small number of wires, a particularly small number of vertical links, and economic layout area as compared to its non-pruned counterpart. …”

The use of horizontal and inclined bars as shear reinforcement by Abdul Hamid, Noor Azlina

“…The results show that the shear capacities of the beams with additional horizontal and independent bent-up bars larger than 1.2% of their cross-sectional area are higher than that of the conventionally designed beam with vertical links. It may therefore be suggested that these types of shear reinforcement be used to ease the congestion of links near the supports.…”

Damage intensity class for reinforced concrete beam-column joint subjected to lateral cyclic loading by Ganasan, Reventheran

“…These damages were caused by lack of shear links confinement and insufficient anchorage length, particularly on the RC beam-column joint (BCJ) of the buildings. …”

Review of rain attenuation studies in tropical and equatorial regions in Malaysia: an overview by Ulaganathen, Kesavan, Abdul Rahman, Tharek, Abdul Rahim, Sharul Kamal, Islam, Md Rafiqul

“…Therefore, designing terrestrial and Earth-to-satellite microwave links is very critical and challenging. The raindrop-size distribution and the rain-rate distribution are two important parameters used for attenuation prediction. …”

Modeling and control of a multi degree of freedom flexible joint manipulator by Akhtaruzzaman, Md., Akmeliawati, Rini, Teh, Wai Yee

“…Since lightweight materials are employed in the construction of manipulator, the assumption that negligible link deformation no longer applies. A nonlinear passivitybased control method for rigid flexible joint as well as flexible link is proposed here. …”

The problem of the public good and the implications for researching educational policies for social justice by Ross, Alistair

“…Chapter 1 opened a discussion on what is meant by social justice in education, and the issues involved in defining this, and what research directed towards this would look like. We identified different types of potential injustices, and the subsequent chapters examined various of these in turn, in a range of educational contexts, through the prisms of research directed towards finding policy initiatives that might counter the effects of particular inequities. …”

How do gay men experience ruptures in the relationship with their therapist? An interpretative phenomenological study by Brooke, Philip

“…The study also found that rupture overlaps with the difficulties commonly experienced as part of the therapeutic process, making it difficult to define rupture. The researcher links the findings to minority stress theory, and suggests that an over-emphasis on the transferential relationship in therapy, and rigidity in therapeutic approach, can impede the collaborative process that is more likely to lead to reparation with this client group, especially when they are at an early stage in their gay identity development. …”
