This paper proposes a novel routing protocol dedicated to IVC. This routing protocol, named as geographic pattern routing (GPR). The protocol does not need to search route frequently, so sufficient bandwidth is reserved for application packets, and QoS is easily guaranteed. It has ingredients

localized. In many industries, however, the degree of localization is slight. We explore the nature of agglomerative forces in describing patterns of concentration, the geographic scope of localization, and the coagglomeration of related industries and of industries with strong upstream-downstream ties.

the site of Africa’s earliest state, lies near the crossroads of two other continents, and has had historic interactions with all its neighboring regions. This alone would make it an ideal place to study historical population biology. Egypt can also be conceptualized as a lin-ear oasis in the eastern Sahara, one that traverses several regions of Africa. An oasis can be a way station or serve as a refugium, as well as be a place of settlement with its own special biological and cultural adaptive strategies. Both of these perspectives—crossroads and oasis/refugium— can be expected to provide insight into the processes that could have affected the Nile valley’s populations/peoples. From these vantage points History in Africa 32 (2005), 221–246 1Discussions over a long period of time with G.A.

This technical document supports the Forest Service’s requirement to assess the status of renewable natural resources as mandated by the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974. It updates past reports on the trends and geographic patterns of species formally listed

We introduce a geographical adaptive fidelity (GAF) algorithm that reduces energy consumption in ad hoc wireless networks. GAF conserves energy by identifying nodes that are equivalent from a routing perspective and then turning off unnecessary nodes, keeping a constant level of routing fidelity

The large amount of patterns generated by frequent pattern mining algorithms has been extensively addressed in the last few years. In geographic pattern mining, besides the large amount of patterns, many are well known geographic domain associations. Existing algorithms do not warrant
