However, in Hirschsprung's (Gfroerer and Rolle 2013) and Chagas' megacolon (see above), most studies found reduced numbers of ICCs in the hypo- or aganglionic segments.
Several researchers show that, in multi-hop wireless networks, reducing the number of segments in the communication pipe can reduce the contention and collision caused by sharing the same path.
The airlines could improve the current system by investing more money in planes and staff, reducing the number of segments each plane flies in a given day, and increasing the number of direct flights.
Reducing the number of segments also enables us to investigate the effect of arterial network topology (and hence reflection sites) on the shape of waveforms.
Better self-centering capacity as well as smaller lateral displacement can be achieved on segmental columns by reducing the number of column segments and increasing the prestress level.
Beginning in 2001, concerns about the swelling cost of the telescope forced NASA to shrink the mirror from 8 meters to 6.5 meters, reducing the number of mirror segments from 36 to 18 and its light-collecting area from 50 square meters to 25.
In order to achieve this, some researches proposed to enhance the overall TCP performance by reducing the number of DATA segments transmitted by the sender.
It proposes a novel approach, called System Optimal Re-Routing TranSORTAHsignment Heuristic (SORTAH), which produces a user-constrained system optimal solution by reducing the number of overcrowded segments and spreading out the demand to better utilize routes that are under capacity.
We then introduce our novel technique for lumping peripheral 1D model branches into windkessel 0D models (see Reducing the Number of Arterial Segments).
By systematically lumping terminal 1D model segments into 0D windkessel models that preserve the net resistance and total compliance of the original model (Fig. 2), we can study the effect on central and peripheral waveforms of reducing the number of arterial segments and, hence, input parameters.
