In this paper, based on coding theory concepts, new time scheduling algorithms for multihop packet radio networks are described. Each mobile host is assigned a word from an appropriate constant weight code of length n, distance d and weight w. The host can send a message at the j[superscipt th]...
A fault-tolerant routing method that can tolerate solid faults using only two virtual channels is presented. The proposed routing algorithm not only uses a fewer number of virtual channels but also tolerates f-chains in the meshes. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is deadlock-free and livelock-free in meshes when...
Based on the author's ethnographic research at the Karakuwa fishing community in Japan, this thesis explains a cultural process of the local people's synthesis of the values they place on nature and their everyday behavior in a modern industrial world. Explicated by ethnographic narrative, this study focuses on a revitalization...
