Sinoatrial nodal artery variant in approximately 10% of human hearts. This artery is larger than normal and supplies a good part of the left atrium, but also right sided structures like part of the sinoatrial node and the atrioventricular nodal areas. In this variant, the artery courses in the sulcus between the left superior pulmonary vein and the left atrial appendage where it could be susceptible to injury during catheter or surgical ablation procedures on the left atrium, especially for atrial fibrillation ablation or open heart cardiac surgery. Sinoatrial nodal artery The sinoatrial nodal artery (or sinuatrial nodal artery or sinoatrial artery) is
Exposed node problem Exposed node problem In wireless networks, the exposed node problem occurs when a node is prevented from sending packets to other nodes because of a neighboring transmitter. Consider an example of 4 nodes labeled R1, S1, S2, and R2, where the two receivers (R1, R2) are out of range of each other, yet the two transmitters (S1, S2) in the middle are in range of each other. Here, if a transmission between S1 and R1 is taking place, node S2 is prevented from transmitting to R2 as it concludes after carrier sense that it will interfere with the transmission by
