    [[abstract]]In recent years, routing and efficient energy are important topics in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). According to the resources of MANET are limited, such that, advance routing strategies have to be considered the issues of resources consumption and transmission effect. Complex network has non-trivial topological features. A network can be measured by multiple properties and be presented network behavior, such as betweenness. We propose a new routing algorithm with betweenness analysis. The results show that our algorithm is used to increase network lifetime.[[conferencetype]]國際[[conferencedate]]20100521~20100524[[iscallforpapers]]Y[[conferencelocation]]Wuhan, Chin

    Impact of the Casimir-Polder Potential and Johnson Noise on Bose-Einstein Condensate Stability near Surfaces

    Full text link
    We investigate the stability of magnetically trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates and thermal clouds near the transition temperature at small distances 0.5 microns < d < 10 microns from a microfabricated silicon chip. For a 2 microns thick copper film the trap lifetime is limited by Johnson-noise induced currents and falls below 1 s at a distance of 4 microns. A dielectric surface does not adversely affect the sample until the attractive Casimir-Polder potential significantly reduces the trap depth.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, and submitted to Physical Review Letter

    The motion of a neutrally buoyant particle of an elliptic shape in two dimensional shear flow: a numerical study

    Full text link
    In this paper, we investigate the motion of a neutrally buoyant cylinder of an elliptic shape freely moving in two dimensional shear flow by direct numerical simulation. An elliptic shape cylinder in shear flow, when initially being placed at the middle between two walls, either keeps rotating or has a stationary inclination angle depending on the particle Reynolds number Re=Grra2/νRe=G_r r_a^2/\nu, where GrG_r is the shear rate, rar_a is the semi-long axis of the elliptic cylinder and ν\nu is the kinetic viscosity of the fluid. The critical particle Reynolds number RecrRe_{cr} for the transition from a rotating motion to a stationary orientation depends on the aspect ratio AR=rb/raAR=r_b/r_a and the confined ratio K=2ra/HK=2r_a/H where rbr_b is the semi-short axis of the elliptic cylinder and HH is the distance between two walls. Although the increasing of either parameters makes an increase in RecrRe_{cr}, the dynamic mechanism is distinct. The ARAR variation causes the change of geometry shape; however, the KK variation influences the wall effect. The stationary inclination angle of non-rotating slender elliptic cylinder with smaller confined ratio seems to depend only on the value of ReRecrRe-Re_{cr}. An expected equilibrium position of the cylinder mass center in shear flow is the centerline between two walls, but when placing the particle away from the centerline initially, it migrates either toward an equilibrium height away from the middle between two walls or back to the middle depending on the confined ratio and particle Reynolds number.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1209.080

    Local maximal operators on measure metric spaces

    Get PDF
    The notion of local maximal operators and objects associated to them is introduced and systematically studied in the general setting of measure metric spaces. The locality means here some restrictions on the radii of involved balls. The notion encompasses different definitions dispersed throughout the literature. One of the aims of the paper is to compare properties of the 'local' objects with the 'global' ones (i.e. these with no restrictions on the radii of balls). An emphasis is put on the case of locality function of Whitney type. Some aspects of this specific case were investigated earlier by two out of three authors of the present paper
