An Overview of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks for the Existing Protocols and Applications
Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of two or more devices or nodes
or terminals with wireless communications and networking capability that
communicate with each other without the aid of any centralized administrator
also the wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange
information without using any existing fixed network infrastructure. And it's
an autonomous system in which mobile hosts connected by wireless links are free
to be dynamically and some time act as routers at the same time, and we discuss
in this paper the distinct characteristics of traditional wired networks,
including network configuration may change at any time, there is no direction
or limit the movement and so on, and thus needed a new optional path Agreement
(Routing Protocol) to identify nodes for these actions communicate with each
other path, An ideal choice way the agreement should not only be able to find
the right path, and the Ad Hoc Network must be able to adapt to changing
network of this type at any time. and we talk in details in this paper all the
information of Mobile Ad Hoc Network which include the History of ad hoc,
wireless ad hoc, wireless mobile approaches and types of mobile ad Hoc
networks, and then we present more than 13 types of the routing Ad Hoc Networks
protocols have been proposed. In this paper, the more representative of routing
protocols, analysis of individual characteristics and advantages and
disadvantages to collate and compare, and present the all applications or the
Possible Service of Ad Hoc Networks.Comment: 24 Pages, JGraph-Hoc Journa
On the generalized Hartley-Hilbert and Fourier-Hilbert transforms
In this paper, we discuss Hartley-Hilbert and Fourier-Hilbert transforms on a certain class of generalized functions. The extended transforms considered in this article are shown to be well-defined, one-to-one, linear and continuous mappings with respect to δ and Δ convergence. Certain theorems are also established
Patient preferences for the pharmacological treatment of osteoarthritis using adaptive choice-based conjoint (ACBC) analysis: A pilot study
Background: Patient preferences for pharmaceutical treatment of osteoarthritis have been investigated using Conjoint Analysis. Studies have identified the importance of side effects in determining preferences, but noted that methodological limitations precluded further investigation of additional attributes such as hepatic and renal toxicity.
Objective: Following on from a feasibility study of adaptive choice-based conjoint (ACBC) analysis, the aim of this study was to evaluate 8 medication attributes for the pharmaceutical treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).
Setting and Participants: Eleven participants were recruited from members of a Research Users’ Group (RUG) who had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. RUG members individually complete the ACBC task.
Main outcome measures: The relative importance of each attribute and the utilities (part-worth) of each level of each attribute were estimated using ACBC built-in Hierarchical Bayes (HB).
Results: The combined relative importance of the 4 risk side-effect attributes when selecting osteoarthritis medication (kidney and liver side effects, heart attack and stroke side effects, stomach side effects and addiction) was 66% while the effectiveness attribute accounted for 8% of the relative importance of the medication decision.
Conclusions: In this study, the gap between relative importance of 4 side-effect attributes and expected benefit was 66% vs 8%. These preliminary findings indicate that OA patients are most concerned with the avoidance of adverse events and that there is a threshold above which expected benefit has little impact on patients’ medication preferences. The study highlights methodological features of ACBC that may be useful more generally in health services research, but the results must be interpreted in conjunction with the study limitations
Jordan and the Palestinian Case: A study of the Formal and Public Stance (1921-1946م)
The Jordanian interaction with the Palestinian issue from the beginnings of the twentieth century came from ties of religion, neighborhood closeness, economical integration and other nationalistic ties in common such as language, culture and shared destiny and the fundamental constants at the Great Arab Revolt. The strong connection between the Jordanian and the Palestinian people is a national fact, made stronger by the interlock of origins and descendants, and the fusing of through its long history as its connection of Palestine and the Palestinian Issue, not even before its declaration as a political entity in the region in 1921.
For Jordan, the Palestinian issue was not only a political issue, nor merely a matter of values, rights, and principles, or the cause of a brotherly people. Today, if the Arab nationalist thought considered this issue its first central Arab issue, Jordan has dealt with it on the basis that it is a Jordanian issue, destiny, destiny, history, present and future, in addition to being the first national issue.
Jordan\u27s dealings with the Palestinian issue did not come as an impulse, nor as an emergency or seasonal dealing, but rather as a measure of the close organic bond between the Jordanian and Palestinian peoples based on national, geographical and historical considerations, which were represented by blood ties, religion, history, fate and immediate neighborhood, and the unity of pains and hopes....etc. He lived through her tragedy at a stage since her birth, with all his heart and feelings, and was associated with her, interacting with her, influencing and being influenced by her, so he offered her money, weapons and martyr after martyr, as she was the most influential factor from a political point of view in the history of the establishment and development of the Jordanian entity.
Jordan stood alongside the Palestinian people in their tribulation, and in their justified fight for freedom and independence. Jordan provided official conference and public ones, Threw protests, sent telegrams, supported the Palestinian revolutions, refused Belfore Promise and the qeeviding and the Ziomist migration to Palestine, and everything that is against the frecdom of Palestinian people
Engineers Innovative Work Behavior: The Role of Emotional Intelligence
This paper intends to examine the relationship between Emotional Intelligence, and Innovative Work Behavior among telecommunication engineers in Jordan telecommunication Industry. Its purpose is to study the effect of Emotional Intelligence of the engineers on their Innovative Work Behavior. A total of 218 questionnaires were collected from telecommunication engineers working in telecommunication organizations in Jordan. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Findings of this study found that Emotional Intelligence has a positive and significant relationship with Innovative Work Behavior. These findings provide an understanding about the Emotional Intelligence of the engineers and its effect on Innovative Work Behavior. To improve the Innovative Work Behavior among engineers, telecommunication organizations should focus on the Emotional Intelligence of the engineers to promote their Innovative Work Behavior. Keywords: Innovative Work Behavior, Emotional Intelligence, Engineers, Telecommunications, Jordan.
