description: ABSTRACT Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) isolates JHM.WU and JHM.SD promote severe central nervous system disease. However, while JHM.WU replicates robustly and induces hepatitis, JHM.SD fails to replicate or induce pathology in the liver. These two JHM variants encode homologous proteins with few polymorphisms, and little is known about which viral proteins(s) is responsible for the liver tropism of JHM.WU. We constructed reverse genetic systems for JHM.SD and JHM.WU and, utilizing these full-length cDNA clones, constructed chimeric viruses and mapped the virulence factors involved in liver tropism. Exchanging the spike proteins of the two viruses neither increased replication of JHM.SD in the liver nor attenuated JHM.WU. By further mapping, we found that polymorphisms in JHM.WU structural protein M and nonstructural replicase proteins nsp1 and nsp13 are essential for liver pathogenesis. M protein and nsp13, the helicase, of JHM.WU are required for efficient replication in vitro and in the liver in vivo . The JHM.SD nsp1 protein contains a K194R substitution of Lys194, a residue conserved among all other MHV strains. The K194R polymorphism has no effect on in vitro replication but influences hepatotropism, and introduction of R194K into JHM.SD promotes replication in the liver. Conversely, a K194R substitution in nsp1 of JHM.WU or A59, another hepatotropic strain, significantly attenuates replication of each strain in the liver and increases IFN-β expression in macrophages in culture. Our data indicate that both structural and nonstructural proteins contribute to MHV liver pathogenesis and support previous reports that nsp1 is a Betacoronavirus virulence factor. IMPORTANCE The Betacoronavirus genus includes human pathogens, some of which cause severe respiratory disease. The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) into human populations demonstrates the zoonotic potential of emerging coronaviruses, and there are currently no vaccines or effective antivirals for human coronaviruses. Thus, it is important to understand the virus-host interaction that regulates coronavirus pathogenesis. Murine coronavirus infection of mice provides a useful model for the study of coronavirus-host interactions, including the determinants of tropism and virulence. We found that very small changes in coronavirus proteins can profoundly affect tropism and virulence. Furthermore, the hepatotropism of MHV-JHM depends not on the spike protein and viral entry but rather on a combination of the structural protein M and nonstructural replicase-associated proteins nsp1 and nsp13, which are conserved among betacoronaviruses. Understanding virulence determinants will aid in the design of vaccines and antiviral strategies.

description: We investigate the evolution of the Universe filled with barotropic perfect fluid in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity. We consider both the isotropic and the anisotropic universe. At the early stage when the energy density is high, the evolution is modified considerably compared with that in general relativity. For the equation-of-state parameter $w>0$, the initial singularity is not accompanied as it was discovered for radiation in earlier work. More interestingly, for pressureless dust ($w=0$), the initial state approaches a de Sitter state. This fact opens a new possibility of singularity-free nature of the theory. The anisotropy is mild, and does not develop curvature singularities in spacetime contrary to general relativity.

title: Ecologies of memory
Creators: name: Graham, Thomas Philip
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2012

description:
Ecologies of Memory is a short story collection that explores conceptions and fallibility of memory and how it intersects with love, belief, and the formation of identity. "Processes of Erosion," the first story in the collection, addresses memory as a geological process in the form of a glacier scraping a small Alaskan town off the map. This presents the idea of memory as a topological feature: something that can't necessarily be controlled, that intrudes into our homes and heads. "Vespers" continues this theme in the character of Bill. His wife, Anna, has just left him suddenly, and he's forced to engage with two types of memory. He feels compelled to treat the instance as an investigation, pouring over manuscripts, his external memory, in order to find what went wrong. Simultaneously he's attempting to fix her in place, knowing that his memory of her in ephemeral. Ultimately, akin to the glacier, he finds himself closed off, monastic life intrudes as he is unable to effectively deal with the loss. The story "A Body Always, Already" attempts to identify ways that memory is involved in the formation of identity. Ariel is a character in trouble. She is attempting to self-actualize, to make a life for herself, but is unable to do so, due to the identity of the self her father tried to make of her. Here her past self is intruding on the present, the mechanism being a new-age church, and she is forced to come to terms with this dissonance. The final story of the collection, "Random Access" returns to the character of Bill, now married to a psychiatrist named Lily. Lily is working in clinical trials using a drug that allows memories to supersede reality. Bill becomes addicted to the past, returning to his first wife and opening up the old wounds he had sealed in "Vespers." As Bill seeks to perfect his memories of Anna, he comes to face the unsettling proposition that he might be remembering incorrectly, or even manufacturing memories, destroying the authenticity that gives the drug such allure. The collection ends with Lily taking the drug herself attempting to find one point of vivid happiness in her life. She cycles into the past until she at last settles on a memory of the womb, but the reader knows, tragically, that this must be a confabulation. This draws attention to the possibility that our most fondly remembered instances might be manufactured. The collection explores memory even to the degree we represent the past in fiction. Mechanisms are created to allow flashback to diagetically take place, taking the reader to the past as the characters experience it, as intrusive ecologies, taking on lives of their own.

description: We report an experimental implementation of the minimal Deutsch algorithm in an optical setting. In this version, a redundancy is removed from the most famous form of the algorithm. The original version involves manipulation of two qubits, while in its minimal version, only one qubit is used. Our qubit is encoded in the transversal spatial modes of a spontaneous parametric down-converted signal photon, with the aid of a double slit, with the idler photon playing a crucial role in creating a heralded single photon source. A spatial light modulator (SLM) is programmed to physically generate one-bit functions necessary to implement the algorithm's minimal version, which shows that the SLM can be used in future implementations of quantum protocols.

title: Resiliency strategies in transnational families: case study with highland Guatemalan women
Creators: name: Fawell, Katie M.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2012

description:
The Maya from highland Guatemala are now involved in transnational migration that separates families. Most commonly men migrate first to the United States, leaving women and children behind. This leads to new challenges for women and children in Guatemala who must adapt to male absent households. One such community that faces these challenges is Aguacatán, Guatemala. The women in the Guatemalan homeland community, Aguacatán, are often married to men who have immigrated to the United States. Whatcom County, Washington is the destination for many families from Aguacatán due to both conflict within Guatemala and the need for families to give their children a better life. Local relationships with Aguacatecos in Whatcom County allowed for a visit to Aguacatán. Twenty-five women were interviewed regarding their "indirect" migration experiences, measured here as how connected they were to their husband, e.g., frequency of communication and remittances from husband, and connectedness with their local community and their perceptions about the impacts on family. Family resilience framework provides the structure for the analysis. Successful coping was defined as having a consistent world view that included good communication with partner and connections to community. The most resilient women received consistent remittances, talked more often to husband, and exhibited the extra resources to connect with their community.
Non-classicality of the molecular vibrations assisting exciton energy transfer at room temperature

description: Advancing the debate on quantum effects in light-initiated reactions in biology requires clear identification of non-classical features that these processes can exhibit and utilise. Here we show that in prototype dimers present in a variety of photosynthetic antennae, efficient vibration-assisted energy transfer in the subpicosecond timescale and at room temperature can manifest and benefit from non-classical fluctuations of collective pigment motions. Non-classicality of initially thermalised vibrations is induced via coherent exciton-vibration interactions and is unambiguously indicated by negativities in the phase-space quasi-probability distribution of the effective collective mode coupled to the electronic dynamics. These quantum effects can be prompted upon incoherent input of excitation. Our results therefore suggest that investigation of the non-classical properties of vibrational motions assisting excitation and charge transport, photoreception and chemical sensing processes could be a touchstone for revealing a role for non-trivial quantum phenomena in biology.

description: We explore the scale dependence of halo bias using real space cross-correlation measurements in N-body simulations and in Pinocchio, an algorithm based on Lagrangian Perturbation Theory. Recent work has shown how to interpret such real space measurements in terms of k-dependent bias in Fourier space, and how to remove the k-dependence to reconstruct the k-independent peak-background split halo bias parameters. We compare our reconstruction of the linear bias, which requires no free parameters, with previous estimates from N-body simulations which were obtained directly in Fourier space at large scales, and find very good agreement. Our reconstruction of the quadratic bias is similarly parameter-free, although in this case there are no previous Fourier space measurements to compare with. Our analysis of N-body simulations explicitly tests the predictions of the excursion set peaks (ESP) formalism of Paranjape et al. (2013) for the scale dependence of bias; we find that the ESP predictions accurately describe our measurements. In addition, our measurements in Pinocchio serve as a useful, successful consistency check between Pinocchio and N-body simulations that is not accessible to traditional measurements.

Cultural competence of RN to BSN students
Creators: name: Riley, Dierdre Michelle
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this exploratory research study was to examine the cultural competence of registered nurses returning to school for an RN to BSN program in Nevada. Campinha-Bacote's model, The Process of Cultural Competence in the Delivery of Healthcare Services, was used as a theoretical framework for the study. A secondary analysis of data collected as part of a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Grant was completed. Fifty-three RN to BSN students voluntarily completed the Inventory for Assessing the Process of Cultural Competency Among Healthcare Professionals- Revised (IAPCC-R) electronically in the learning management system of the first nursing course in the program. Approximately half (50.94%) of the RN to BSN students who responded to this study were culturally competent as determined by Campinha-Bacote's IAPCC-R (M = 75.3, SD = 7.59). The highest scores occurred in the "cultural desire" construct; lowest scores occurred in the "cultural knowledge" construct. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the data. The strongest correlation was found between IAPCC-R scores and age range. The nurses in the 20-30 year age range scored significantly higher than those in the 41-50 year range. No significant relationship was found between gender or race and cultural competency scores.

Lead risk hazards in pre-1978 childcare facilities located in Clark County, Nevada, USA
Creators: name: Newberry, Jessica Marie
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: The harmful health effects of lead exposure have been known for centuries, yet lead is still produced and utilized in a variety of ways. There have been many movements to rid the environment of this toxic metal in hope to reduce the number of individuals who are and who may potentially be exposed. Lead exposure is responsible for a myriad of negative health effects most notably lowering IQ scores in children. Extensive amounts of data have been collected from areas of the country with known lead hazards, hazards that have been identified through hundreds of thousands of elevated blood lead levels and through research studies. This study begins to answer the questions of the presence of traditional and some non-traditional lead hazards in the housing and commercial building stock of Clark County, Nevada, USA. This study is the first of its kind, in that, lead risk assessments were performed for the total population of pre-1978 permitted childcare facilities in Clark County, Nevada (N=94). These risk assessments included X-ray fluorescence analyses of paint, tile, and large pieces of playground equipment, while laboratory analyses were performed on dust, soil, and water samples. The analyses suggest that the pre-1978 structures in Clark County Nevada, USA do not follow national trends pertaining to the prevalence of lead-based paint, and lead in dust and soil. Only a small portion of the childcare center screened had traditional lead hazards, while a slightly higher portion of centers had non-traditional sources such as tile, and playground equipment. The data collected in this study contributes to the growing body of data of the lead hazards present in the Clark County, Nevada housing stock. This information could help by directing primary prevention efforts to the non-traditional sources of lead exposure that are pertinent to Clark County, Nevada.
The Relationship of a long-term exercise program and selected coronary risk factors

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate body composition and blood pressure as potential risk factors for coronary artery disease after 3 years of participation in a structured exercise program. The sample group was comprised of 21 male participants (66%) and 11 (34%) female participants with a mean age of 55 years who attended the exercise program and completed health and fitness testing annually. Participants did cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility training 5 days a week with an average attendance of 70%. After 3 years, BMI, waist circumference, and percent body fat increased significantly (p < .01); blood pressure levels did not change significantly (p > .05). Low control of diet may have contributed to worsening body composition measurements.

description: The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors g_x, g_y and g_z of the orthorhombic Cu^{2+}(1) site in fresh PrBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6+x} powders are theoretically investigated using the perturbation formulas of the g factors for a 3d^9 ion under orthorhombically elongated octahedra. The local orthorhombic distortion around the Cu^{2+}(1) site due to the Jahn-Teller effect is described by the orthorhombic field parameters from the superposition model. The [CuO6]^{10-} complex is found to experience an axial elongation of about 0.04 Å along c axis and the relative bond length variation of about 0.09 Å along a and b axes of the Jahn-Teller nature. The theoretical results of the g factors based on the above local structure are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data.

Forced to live side by side. Power, privacy and conflict in the Tor network
Creators: name: Pizio, Daniele
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Tor anonymous network (acronym of The Onion Routing) is a socio-technical object of extraordinary complexity the significance of which cannot be reduced to the trivial “Dark Web” media narrative usually employed to depict it. Originally conceived as a technical fix to mitigate the design flaws that affect the Internet architecture and have made electronic mass surveillance possible, Tor has progressively evolved into a distributed open source network which nowadays sees the participation of thousands of activists, academics, diplomats, army engineers and ICT company technologists. Its development trajectory has been influenced by numerous hacker cultures that have found in the infrastructure a space of cohabitation and experimentation suitable to fine tune new technological prototypes and political practices. These have been elaborated and tested in multiple historical contexts, such as the so called Arab Spring, the Anonymous movement, the Snowden’s leaks, the rise of whistleblowing platforms in journalism, as well as the US State Department’s digital diplomacy and the efforts made by Washington and Silicon Valley to secure the US digital infrastructures.The thesis analyses the material configuration of the Tor infrastructure whose technical features and organizational practices contributed to the emergence of these different involvements with Tor. In order to achieve this objective, the study a) traces a genealogy of the imaginaries embodied into Tor and the power relationships that model its infrastructure and functions, b) investigates how its developers interpret the concept of privacy and incorporate it into the platform, c) explores the politics and practices adopted by the Tor community to ensure the sustainability and the usability of the network. The research design of the study is a three-year long ethnography of the infrastructure. The analysis of Tor is structured around a careful reading of its fundamental design papers, an examination of the financial statements made public since 2008 by the Tor Project and a collection of interviews featuring twenty people who contributed at various levels to the growth and the maintenance of the network.From this work it emerges that Tor is an experimentation platform crossed by subjectivities often different to one another but still forced to live side by side in order to engender practices and technologies that disrupt the power relations constituting the contemporary Internet and generate alternative ways of existence. The thesis contributes to the field of Science and Technology Studies concerned with Internet governance, as well as the organizational forms adopted by social movements within the current age of surveillance capitalism.

Deliverable title: KGSIR on carbon budget estimates updates with the latest insights on forcing, variability and feedbacks
Key messages:

Integration of latest scientific evidence further reduces estimates of the remaining carbon budget in line with the Paris Agreement.
Incorporating additional uncertain factors, such as the warming occurring after net zero CO2 emissions are achieved further reduces our confidence in the remaining carbon budget still being positive for 1.5°C.
The estimated remaining carbon budgets requires implementation of deep non-CO2 emission reductions. Failure to do so further decreases the budgets.

description: The wave function of a moderately cold atom in a stationary near-resonant standing light wave delocalizes very fast due to wave packet splitting. However, we show that frequency modulation of the field may suppress packet splitting for some atoms having specific velocities in a narrow range. These atoms remain localized in a small space for a long time. We propose that in a real experiment with cold atomic gas this effect may decrease the velocity distribution of atoms (the field traps the atoms with such specific velocities while all other atoms leave the field)

Information content versus word length in random typing

description: Recently, it has been claimed that a linear relationship between a measure of information content and word length is expected from word length optimization and it has been shown that this linearity is supported by a strong correlation between information content and word length in many languages (Piantadosi et al. 2011, PNAS 108, 3825-3826). Here, we study in detail some connections between this measure and standard information theory. The relationship between the measure and word length is studied for the popular random typing process where a text is constructed by pressing keys at random from a keyboard containing letters and a space behaving as a word delimiter. Although this random process does not optimize word lengths according to information content, it exhibits a linear relationship between information content and word length. The exact slope and intercept are presented for three major variants of the random typing process. A strong correlation between information content and word length can simply arise from the units making a word (e.g., letters) and not necessarily from the interplay between a word and its context as proposed by Piantadosi et al. In itself, the linear relation does not entail the results of any optimization process.

description: We discuss the polar angle decay distribution in the decay of on-shell and off-shell polarized (W,Z) gauge bosons into massive quark pairs. In particular for the off-shell decays in $H \to (W,Z) + (W^\ast,Z^\ast) (\to q_1\bar q_2)$ it is important to keep the masses of the charm and bottom quarks at their finite values since the scale of the problem is not set by $m_{W,Z}^2$ but by the off-shellness of the gauge boson which varies in the range $(m_1+m_2)^2 \le q^2 \le (m_H-m_{W,Z})^2$.

description: Over the last two decades, the tourism industry has grown rapidly. But its evolution has been influenced by various factors such as culture and environmental changes including economic status and competition. Some of these factors, culture for instance, act as constants, providing some form of predictability to the evolution of the tourism industry within a specific society. While other factors, such as economic status and competition, act as variables that drive the industry to reach its potential.  Hofstede defined “culture” as a collective programming of the human mind that distinguishes the members of one group or category of people from another (Stedham & Yamaura, 2004).
Hofstede considered “national cultures” as the main mental programs that were shared by the majority of the middle class of various countries (Hofstede, 1998). The national culture in Singapore consists of a wide racial diversity. Singapore has a mosaic of several dominant cultures (Tambyah, Tan, & Kau, 2009). And it is undeniable how integral a role culture plays in the lives of many Singaporeans and in turn, it becomes almost a determining factor as to how many Singaporeans chose to spend their money, even when it comes to vacationing.

description: Background: Habitual walking speed predicts many clinical conditions later in life, but it declines with age. However, which particular exercise intervention can minimize the age-related gait speed loss is unclear. Purpose: Our objective was to determine the effects of strength, power, coordination, and multimodal exercise training on healthy old adults' habitual and fast gait speed. Methods: We performed a computerized systematic literature search in PubMed and Web of Knowledge from January 1984 up to December 2014. Search terms included 'Resistance training', 'power training', 'coordination training', 'multimodal training', and 'gait speed (outcome term). Inclusion criteria were articles available in full text, publication period over past 30 years, human species, journal articles, clinical trials, randomized controlled trials, English as publication language, and subject age C65 years. The methodological quality of all eligible intervention studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. We computed weighted average standardized mean differences of the intervention-induced adaptations in gait speed using a random-effects model and tested for overall and individual intervention effects relative to no-exercise controls. Results: A total of 42 studies (mean PEDro score of 5.0 +/- 1.2) were included in the analyses (2495 healthy old adults; age 74.2 years [64.4-82.7]; body mass 69.9 +/- 4.9 kg, height 1.64 +/- 0.05 m, body mass index 26.4 +/- 1.9 kg/m(2), and gait speed 1.22 +/- 0.18 m/s). The search identified only one power training study, therefore the subsequent analyses focused only on the effects of resistance, coordination, and multimodal training on gait speed. The three types of intervention improved gait speed in the three experimental groups combined (n = 1297) by 0.10 m/s (+/- 0.12) or 8.4 % (+/- 9.7), with a large effect size (ES) of 0.84. Resistance (24 studies; n = 613; 0.11 m/s; 9.3 %; ES: 0.84), coordination (eight studies, n = 198; 0.09 m/s; 7.6 %; ES: 0.76), and multimodal training (19 studies; n = 486; 0.09 m/s; 8.4 %, ES: 0.86) increased gait speed statistically and similarly. Conclusions: Commonly used exercise interventions can functionally and clinically increase habitual and fast gait speed and help slow the loss of gait speed or delay its onset.

description: This paper examined the process of service rebranding through various studies of corporate rebranding and service branding. This paper used exploratory case study to gain insight of an actual service rebranding of a business luxury class hotel, Royal Plaza on Scotts. Information from in-dept interviews with the Marketing and Brand Director was used to understand the various elements of the service rebranding process. The study showed that the actual service brand revitalisation of the hotel involved a combination of elements in the corporate rebranding and service branding processes. The study showed that the process of making changes to service brand was complicated and required substantial amount of human, time and financial resources in the planning and implementation. The success of service rebranding required all staff and functional units of the organisation to share and exhibit the new service brand values.

Development of novel biomarkers in cancer: Detection of circulating miR-141 as a potential prognostic marker for prostate cancer

description: Prostate cancer (CAP) is the most common epithelial malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. The identification of predictive and prognostic biomarkers in CAP patients is critical for improving clinical outcomes. Although the measurement of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and radiographic studies are clinically approved to predict response to therapy, these tests can oftentimes prove to be inadequate in certain patients. Thus, it is important to discover new biomarkers to improve chances of survivability. We and others have shown that longitudinal measurements of circulating tumor cells (CTC) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) may aid in predicting response to therapy. More recently, levels of microRNA (miRNA) have been implicated in disease processes such as cancer. Specifically, the expression of human miRNA miR-141 has been found to be elevated in the plasma of CAP patients. In our study, we have measured the levels of miR-141 in 21 CAP patients and compared it with other clinical markers (CTC, LDH, and PSA). We longitudinally examined these markers alone and in combination in relationship to the patients clinical course and response to therapy. Our aim was to determine if miR-141 has the potential to be a putative marker for the prognosis of a patients response to therapy.
For this retrospective study, plasma from 21 CAP patients were collected at different time points corresponding to treatment regimen or follow-up appointments. Levels of miR-141 in plasma were measured using quantitative RT-PCR and compared to temporal changes in miR-141, CTC, LDH, and PSA levels. Using PSA as the standard marker in monitoring CAP, correlation coefficients were determined for each biomarkers capability in predicting clinical outcomes. Our results indicate that there is a strong correlation between a patients clinical characteristics and the plasma levels of miR-141. With further testing, we suggest that miR-141 has the potential to be a marker for the prognosis of CAP. We find that miR-141 is largely concordant with the other conventional markers and establish that miR-141 is a relevant biomarker worthy of further investigation.

description: We investigate a Bose-Einstein condensate with additional long-range dipolar interaction in a cylindrically symmetric trap within a variational framework. Compared to the ground state of this system, little attention has as yet been payed to its unstable excited states. For thermal excitations, however, the latter is of great interest, because it forms the "activated complex" that mediates the collapse of the condensate. For a certain value of the s-wave scatting length our investigations reveal a bifurcation in the transition state, leading to the emergence of two additional and symmetry-breaking excited states. Because these are of lower energy than their symmetric counterpart, we predict the occurrence of a symmetry-breaking thermally induced collapse of dipolar condensates. We show that its occurrence crucially depends on the trap geometry and calculate the thermal decay rates of the system within leading order transition state theory with the help of a uniform rate formula near the rank-2 saddle which allows to smoothly pass the bifurcation.

description: We review derivations of the chiral magnetic effect (ChME) in hydrodynamic approximation. The reader is assumed to be familiar with the basics of the effect. The main challenge now is to account for the strong interactions between the constituents of the fluid. The main result is that the ChME is not renormalized: in the hydrodynamic approximation it remains the same as for non-interacting chiral fermions moving in an external magnetic field. The key ingredients in the proof are general laws of thermodynamics and the Adler-Bardeen theorem for the chiral anomaly in external electromagnetic fields. The chiral magnetic effect in hydrodynamics represents a macroscopic manifestation of a quantum phenomenon (chiral anomaly). Moreover, one can argue that the current induced by the magnetic field is dissipation free and talk about a kind of "chiral superconductivity". More precise description is a ballistic transport along magnetic field taking place in equilibrium and in absence of a driving force. The basic limitation is exact chiral limit while the temperature--excitingly enough- does not seemingly matter. What is still lacking, is a detailed quantum microscopic picture for the ChME in hydrodynamics. Probably, the chiral currents propagate through lower-dimensional defects, like vortices in superfluid. In case of superfluid, the prediction for the chiral magnetic effect remains unmodified although the emerging dynamical picture differs from the standard one.

description: In this paper, we evaluate and compare the impact of link duration and path stability of routing protocols; Destination Sequence Distance vector (DSDV), Dynamic MANET On- Demand (DYMO) and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) at different number of connections and node density. In order to improve the efficiency of selected protocols; we enhance DYMO and OLSR. Simulation and comparison of both default and enhanced routing protocols is carried out under the performance parameters; Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Average End-to End Delay (AE2ED) and Normalized Routing Overhead (NRO). From the results, we observe that DYMO performs better than DSDV, MOD-OLSR and OLSR in terms of PDR, AE2ED, link duration and path stability at the cost of high value of NRO.
