Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAPPLYING A HYBRID POLLING APPROACH BY SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION TO EXTEND THE LIFETIME OF A WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKInácio Henrique Yano, Vitor Chaves de Oliveira, Mauricio Becker, Andreiwid Sheffer CorreaWireless Sensor Networks are networks suitable for data collection in harsh environments, where it would be difficult or costly the deployment of wired infrastructure. In spite of these advantages, such networks often rely on batteries to operate, which may lead to a serious limitation on the networks lifetime. Bearing this in mind, in this article is proposed and tested a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 24 Jul 2015 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTHE APPLICATION OF LIFE CYCLE COST (LCC) APPROACH TO QUALITY FOOD PRODUCTION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS IN THE PARMA PDO HAM SECTORMattia Iotti, Giuseppe BonazziIn the international literature, the subject of the analysis of the cost of production is often confined to the analysis of short-term convenience. However, the quantification of the cost of production per unit of product has a particular importance in the processing enterprises, especially in the initial phase of choice that concerns realization of investments in facilities and technologies to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 5 Jul 2014 · 9,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSIGNED GRAPH APPROACH IN ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION POWER TO ENHANCE THE LIFETIME OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKSA. Babu Karuppiah, S. RajaramA Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises a collection of sensor nodes networked for applications like surveillance, battlefield, monitoring of habitat. Nodes in a WSN are usually highly energy-constrained and expected to operate for long periods from limited on-board energy reserves. When a node transmits data to a destination node the data is overheard by the nodes that are in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 13 May 2014 · 6,729 accessesView PDFCite
