Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a very challenging task due to the large number of nodes, their mobility and lack of proper infrastructure. Since the sensors are battery powered devices, energy efficiency is considered as one of the main factors in designing routing protocols in WSNs. Most of energy-aware routing protocols are mere energy savers that attempt to decrease the energy...

The wing somatic mutation and recombination test (SMART) using Drosophila melanogaster was employed to determine the recombinagenic and mutagenic activity of four chemicals in an in vivo eukaryotic system. Two different crosses involving the wing cell markers mwh and flr(3) were used: the standard cross and a high bioactivation cross. The high bioactivation cross is characterized by a high cons...

The scalability of high-performance, parallel iterative applications is directly affected by how well they use the available computing resources. These are subject to load imbalance due nature and dynamics their computations. It common that high performance systems employ periodic balancing tackle this issue. Dynamic algorithms redistribute application’s workload using heuristics circumvent NP-...
