BANDWIDTH PREDICTION BASED RESOURCE ALLOCATION SCHEME FOR LOW-LATENCY AND ENERGY-EFFICIENT PONS WITH HETEROGENEOUS ONU PROPAGATION DELAYS

To achieve low-latency and energy-efficient in a 10 Outdoor Dining Bench Gbps Ethernet Passive Optical Network (10G-EPON) having heterogeneous Optical Network Unit (ONU) propagation delays, this article proposes a resource allocation scheme based on bandwidth requirements prediction and ONU polling sequence scheduling.By a) predicting the upstream

Individual-Based Models (IBMs) can be used to study population dynamics by emphasising individual variability in life-history traits and behaviour.Here, we built a zero-dimensional IBM to describe the population dynamics of smooth-hound sharks (Mustelus spp.) living in the northern Adriatic Sea, a highly exploited basin of the Mediterranean Sea.We

Electricity infrastructures are critical lifeline systems that are designed to serve with a high Outdoor Dining Bench degree of reliability the power supply of consumers under normal operating conditions and in case of common failures or expected disturbances.However, many recent weather-induced disasters have brought unprecedented challenges to th

Abstract Objective The importance of research cannot be overemphasized.Research findings serve as a guide for the enactment of development policies and legislation.However, not all members of the target population willingly participate in a study.The current study explored the reasons why some individuals refused to partake in inclusive education r
