Based on an approach with bounded virtual exosystems, the output synchronization of heterogeneous linear networks is addressed. Instead of exact synchronization with zero steady-state error, we introduce optimal stationary synchronization. Then, each agent is able to balance its synchronization error versus its consumed input-energy. In this regard, a local, time-invariant optimal control is ob...

the study assessed the quantity and value of food crop outputs of the gender categories in the anambra state. at this research estimated the quantity and energy content of food stuffs consumed as well as required by each gender headed households, estimated the extent and magnitude of food security and insecurity in the area among the gender categories and examined the determinants of food secur...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate how frequently male and female school and university students consumed energy drinks, their reasons for drinking them, and the extent of their knowledge about the beverages. METHODS A self-administrated questionnaire was used to collect data from 4355 students (ages 12-26 years). RESULTS Nearly 60% of the students consumed at least one can ...

Energy has been obtained as one of the key inputs for a country's economic growth and social development. Analysis modeling industrial energy are currently time-insertion process because more is consumed in smart factory. This study aims to present analyse predictive models data-driven system be used by appliances find out most significant product item. With repeated cross-validation, three sta...

This work evaluates the performance of Consumed-Energy-Type-Aware Routing (CETAR) which incorporates the amount of energy consumed per type of operation for routing decision to extend the lifetime of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). CETAR makes routing decision using statistics of the energy consumed for each type of node activities including sensing, data processing, data transmission as a...

In this paper we analyze frameworks for mobile cross-platform development according to their influence on energy consumed by the developed applications. We consider the use of different smartphones sensors, e.g., GPS, accelerometer, etc., and features, e.g., acquiring video or audio from the environment. In particular, we have studied how the amount of required energy for the same operation cha...

In this paper we will investigate techniques to minimize the energy consumed by a secure wireless session without compromising the security of the session. While it has been shown in [8] that compressing the session negotiation messages, the protocol header, and the data reduces the energy consumed by a secure session [8], in this paper we show that matching the block size of compression to the...
