Title Network Coded Information Raining Over IEEE 802.16j

Excerpt Information raining has been shown to address the problem of delivering Internet access to high-speed rail passengers. However, a wireline repeater or heterogeneous wireless relay design complicates implementation. Recent developments in extending mobile multihop relaying to the IEEE 802.16e standard have made it feasible to deploy an information raining using a common radio and physical […]

Title Quantifying the Spatial Relationship between Landcover Hheterogeneity and Species’ Distributions

Excerpt Although considerable research has been invested in disentangling the factors limiting species’ ranges at local and continental spatial scales, less attention has been granted to the relationship between species’ spatial distributions and landscape attributes at intermediate spatial scales. This research investigates the spatial relationship between avian species’ distributions (Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas [2001-2005] data) and […]

Title The Application of Artificial Neural Networks for Filtration Optimization in Drinking Water Treatment

Excerpt Filtration is an important process in drinking water treatment to ensure the adequate removal of particle-bound pathogens (i.e. Giardia and Cryptosporidium). Filtration performance is typically monitored in terms of filtered water turbidity. However, particle counts may provide further insight into treatment efficiency, as they have a greater sensitivity for detecting small changes in filtration operation. […]
