This paper presents the impact of utilizing a biased energy distribution (BED) scheme among sensor nodes for clustering sensor networks. In clustering sensor networks, some of the nodes are elected as aggregators and they compress the data from their cluster members before sending the aggregated data to the sink. Existing clustering routing protoco

Surgical site infection by M. tuberculosis is uncommon and its diagnosis can be missed unless there is strong clinical suspicion coupled with laboratory confirmation. We report a case of primary tuberculous surgical site infection without any evidence of pulmonary, skeletal or gastrointestinal tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient, presented a

Unreliable net\vorks can take many different forms such as in the general case an ad hoc network or more specifical1y as a wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Some of the fields you can [md these types of networks used in would be the telecommunications industry with mobile phones, biological research for monitoring animals in the wild and military ap

Cognitive radio is a technique proposed by Mitola which provides a way to efficiently use precious radio spectrum resources [1, 2]. A cognitive radio recognizes, analyzes, and learns the situations of the radio spectrum and then employs various strategies to maximize spectrum usage. The concept of cognitive radio is to detect and ascertain \vhich a

This chapter places special emphasis on sensor networks applications in a battlefield.When a sensor network is used to monitor soldiers' movements in a battlefield, information about the soIdiers' whereabouts is sent back to the base station and accessed by commanders in the headquarters as shown in Figure 33.1. Before the fight, planes fly

This paper deals with the effectiveness of traffic signs provision in International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Gombak campus, a case study selected to represent an international campus environment. The provision of traffic signs gives, to a certain extent, an impact to road safety levels in campuses. Literature has found that the effective

The cities in Southeast Asia are rapidly urbanised. Urbanisation in the region causes urban residents to live in a city with less balanced ecological system. Green infrastructure is known to be a vital indicator for urban environmental sustainability. The green infrastructure is all landscape types comprise of greenery and open spaces. Its network

This paper presents the impact of utilizing a biased energy distribution (BED) scheme for clustering sensor networks. In clustering sensor networks, some of the nodes are elected as aggregators and they compress the data from their cluster members before sending the aggregated data to the sink. Existing clustering routing protocols assume that all

Three terpenoids, including two diterpenes (curcusone B and jatrophone) and a triterpene (stigmasterol) have been isolated from the stem bark of Jatropha plants. Curcusone B and stigmasterol were isolated from J. curcas, meanwhile jatrophone and stigmasterol were from J. gossypifolia. The biological activities of these compounds have been evaluated
