The book highlights relevant previous work in SiC MEMS and presents a model for SiC resonators, Fabricat...

IEEE 802.11 based Ad-Hoc Network has some parameters to tune performance of network in different environments. In this book, authors discussed about these parameters and finally focused on a particular one, RTS-Threshold. Here, previous work on this parameter is compared. After that, authors proposed an efficient algorithm to tune RTS-Threshold's value adaptively to optimize network performance.

Extranets: A Practical Guide for implementing Secure Enterprisewide Communication. This paper discusses the key technologies used to build an extranet.
