Grid-based layouts simplify this task by providing different numbers of columns for blocks of content depending on the device.
Individual-oriented systems can be implemented in a distributed fashion by using either a grid-based or cluster-based approach.
This procedure ensures that the sampled points are relatively evenly distributed in four-dimensional space, and is a more efficient way of sampling high-dimensional space than using a grid-based sampling scheme.
For grid network, wireless nodes are distributed in grids (see Figure 10(a)).
When applying a distributed hydrological model in urban watersheds, grid-based land use classification data with 10 m resolution are typically used in Japan.
As seen, the nanoparticles were spherical shaped and uniformly distributed in the TEM grid.
