A new probabilistic Linear Exponential Backoff scheme for MANETs (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yassein, M. B., Manaseer, S., Al-hassan, A. A., Taye', Z. A., & Al-Dubai, A. Y. (2010, April). A new probabilistic Linear Exponential Backoff scheme for MANETs. Presented at 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel & Distributed Processing, Workshops and Phd Forum (IPDPSW), Atlanta, USA

Broadcasting is an essential operation in Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANETs) environments. It is used in the initial phase of route discovery process in many reactive protocols. Although broadcasting is simple, it causes the well known broadcast storm p... Read More about A new probabilistic Linear Exponential Backoff scheme for MANETs.

Journal Article
MacLeod, D. J., Sharpe, R. M., Welsh, M., Fisken, M., Scott, H. M., Hutchison, G. R., Drake, A. J., & van den Driesche, S. (2010). Androgen action in the masculinization programming window and development of male reproductive organs. International Journal of Andrology, 33(2), 279-287. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2605.2009.01005.x

We have shown previously that deficient androgen action within a masculinization programming window (MPW; e15.5–e18.5 in rats) is important in the origin of male reproductive disorders and in programming male reproductive organ size, but that androge...
