Using mobile chargers in wireless rechargeable sensor networks is an option for charging the nodes due to the high cost of power chargers. In order to achieve some performance requirement such as coverage, it is necessary to effectively schedule the mobile chargers to serve every node in the network. We notice that nearly all previous works on mobile charger scheduling assume that the mobile ch...

One of the issues that have gained a lot of attention in recent years is the board gender diversity. Many researchers believe that gender diversity in the board reinforces corporate social responsibility and on the other hand, gender diversity is one of the signs and effects of corporate social responsibility in the board, so there is a mutual relationship between board gender diversity and cor...

this paper presents the design procedure and implementation results of a proposed hardware which performs different satellite image compressions using fpga xilinx board. first, the method is described and then vhdl code is written and synthesized by ise software of xilinx company. the results show that it is easy and useful to design, develop and implement the hardware image compressor using ne...

In situ diagnostics or prognostics of electronics are based on environment monitoring and reliability computation associated to experienced loads. As health assessment is a major concern for improving the maintenance process, it has to be known as soon as possible to be able to react according to the health status prediction. Indeed, the speed needed for failure prediction calculation from the ...

Ensuring sufficient power in a sensor node is a challenging problem now-a-days to provide required level of security and data processing capability demanded by various applications scampered in a wireless sensor network. The size of sensor nodes and the limitations of battery technologies do not allow inclusion of high energy in a sensor. Recent technologies suggest that the deployment of induc...

Wireless power transfer is a promising technology to extend the lifetime of, and thus enhance the usability of, the energy-hungry battery-powered devices. It enables energy to be wirelessly transmitted from power chargers to energy receiving devices. Existing studies have mainly focused on maximizing network lifetime, optimizing charging efficiency, minimizing charging delay, etc. Different fro...
