Single queue priority scheduler for video transmission in IEEE 802.11 networks
… the buffer overflow loss is 22.8% of the total load, but with SQPS algorithm, it is 8% of the total load. Without SQPS algorithm, the Packet Loss Ratio is about61%; but with the SQPS algorithm, the PLR reduces to 34%. Although, this scheduling algorithm produced better results with a …

New Truck Loading Model For Rural Bridges In Saskatchewan
… existing information on estimating the critical load effects occurring on short span bridges, on low traffic roadways, and over specific reference periods makes it difficult to perform the bridge evaluations with an adequate degree of confidence. This study focuses on aspects of the estimation of …

Effects of load proportioning on the capacity of multiple-hole composite joints
… the issue of adjusting the proportion of load transmitted by each hole in a multiplehole joint so that the joint capacity is a maximum. Specifically two-hole-in-series joints are examined. The results indicate that when each hole reacts 50% of the total load, the joint capacity is not a …

Multiple Input Single Output Converter with Uneven Load Sharing Control for Improved System Efficiency
… The premise of this thesis is to create uneven load current sharing between the converters at different loading conditions in order to maximize the efficiency of the overall MISO converter. The goal is to find a proper ratio of current from each converter to the total load current of the MISO …

An instrumentation system for the measurement and display of the dynamic force distribution under the foot during locomotion
… from 16 transparent beams mounted so that the total load as well as the centre of pressure on any beam can be ascertained. When the foot contacts the plate, its plantar surface is photographed through the transparent force plate by a television camera while a second television camera …

Advancing Monitoring and Mitigation of Antibiotic Resistance in Wastewater Treatment Plants and Water Reuse Systems
… data. The WWTP significantly reduced the total load of ARGs and antibiotics, although correlations between ARGs and antibiotics were generally weak. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was applied to validate the quantitative capacity of metagenomics, whereby we found strong …

Mechanical and interfacial properties of carbon nanofibers for polymer nanocomposites
… by structural discontinuities that reduced the total load bearing capacity of the nanofibers. In this work, the strength of the carbon nanofiber-polymer matrix interfaces was also quantified for the frrst time by means of novel nanoscale fiber pull-out experiments. The interfacial shear strength …

Design of 3D swept wing hybrid models for icing wind tunnel tests
… generated for a given hybrid design, the less total load was required to reach the same stagnation point location. As an implication, more front-loaded airfoils required less lift than more aft-loaded ones to reach the same stagnation point location on a hybrid airfoil. More front load also …
