Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOperating System Support for Wireless Sensor NetworksAnt A. Fröhlich, Lucas F. WannerIn a wireless sensor network, several sensor nodes obtain local data and communicate among themselves in order to create a global vision of an object of study. The idea of a self-managed network of low-power, autonomous devices, that collects data from an environment and propagates information through a wireless link brought about several new challenges and requirements in application run-time … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNon-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithms for Heterogeneous Embedded System DesignA. K. Rath, S. N. DehuriThe design of complex embedded systems involves the simultaneous optimization of several conflicting and competing objectives. Instead of a single global optimal solution, there exist a set of Pareto optimal solutions. In this study we have used a multi-objective evolutionary optimization algorithms called non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA), which will suit to the requirements of designing a complex heterogeneous embedded … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy and Carbon Flux Coupling: Multi-ecosystem Comparisons Using Artificial Neural NetworkAssefa M. Melesse, Rodney S. HanleyA multi-ecosystems carbon flux simulation from energy fluxes is presented. A new statistical learning technique based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) back propagation algorithm and multi-layer perceptron architecture was used in the CO2 simulation. Four input layers (net radiation, soil heat flux, sensible and latent heat flux) were used for training (calibration) and testing (verification) of model outputs. The 15-days … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,347 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTrends in Maximum Daily Rainfall in Marginal Desert Environment: Signs of Climate ChangeKhaldoun A. Al-Qudah, Abdullah A. SmadiProblem statement: Change in intense precipitation has been used as an indicator for anticipated climate change. The trend in maximum daily rainfall in 10 rainfall stations distributed in the north and north east of Jordan has been investigated. Based on mean annual rainfall and geographic location, rainfall stations were divided into subhumid, semi-arid and arid stations. Approach: The regression approach … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Sep 2011 · 7,401 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Global Positioning System Data for Offshore Platform DeformationAbdul Nasir Matori, Nurrohmat WidjajantiProblem statement: Reservoir compaction and shallow gas migration phenomena may cause offshore platform to experience deformation which if happens excessively will affect their structural integrity. Approach: Hence it is crucial to monitor and quantify the magnitude of the deformation especially if they are not uniform throughout the platform structure. However since mostly the offshore platforms are few hundreds kilometers away … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 8,698 accessesView PDFCite
