This paper presents two new energy balanced routing protocols for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs); Efficient and Balanced Energy consumption Technique (EBET) and Enhanced EBET (EEBET). The first proposed protocol avoids direct transmission over long distance to save sufficient amount of energy consumed in the routing process. The second protocol overcomes the deficiencies in both Ba...

In this work, we address the problem of maximizing the lifetime of an application that requires a minimum level of quality of service from a network of energy-constrained wireless sensors. The problem is formulated as a generalized maximum flow graph problem with additional constraints and an optimal solution is found through linear programming. The result of the optimization is a schedule that...

High-spin states in the Ce and Ba nuclei have been populated in the C + U and O + Pb fusion-fission reactions at 90 MeV and 85 MeV bombarding energy, respectively. The emitted γ-radiation was detected using the Euroball III and IV arrays. The high-spin yrast and near-to-yrast structures of Ce have been considerably extended. The level scheme of Ba has been extended by six new levels. The newly ...

Reproductive success is a key component of lifetime efficiency - which is the ratio of energy in milk (MJ) to energy intake (MJ) over the lifespan, of cows. At the animal level, breeding and feeding management can substantially impact milk yield, body condition and energy balance of cows, which are known as major contributors to reproductive failure in dairy cattle. This study extended an exist...

The ${\mathrm{AcOH}}^{+}$ molecular ion is identified as a prospective system to search for $\mathcal{CP}$-violation effects. According our study belongs the class of laser-coolable polyatomic cations implying large coherence time in experiments symmetry-violating effects fundamental interactions. We perform both nuclear and high-level relativistic coupled cluster electronic structure calculati...

Introduction: Scatter radiation is one of the major sources of error in nuclear medicine data processing. Different methods of scatter correction have been introduced in order to improve the quality of data. However the best method is to avoid recording of scatter photons in acquisition. The only difference between scattered and non-scattered photons is the energy. Pulse height analyzer i...

The proliferation of heterogeneous devices and diverse networking technologies demands flexible models to guarantee the quality-of-service (QoS) at the application session level, which is a common behavior of many network-centric applications, e.g., Web browsing and Instant messaging. Several QoS models have been proposed for heterogeneous wired/wireless environments. However, we envision that ...

Wireless sensor networks has come out as an important computing platform.A wireless sensor network is an aggregation of nodes organized into a cooperative network.Each node consists of processing capacity. Energy conservation and maximization of network lifetime are commonly recognized as a key challenge in the design and implementation of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose an ...

Tryptophan (Trp), an intrinsically fluorescent residue of proteins, has been used widely as an energy donor in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments aimed at measuring intramolecular distances and distance distributions in protein folding-unfolding reactions. However, the high level of heterogeneity associated with the fluorescence lifetime of tryptophan, even in single-tryp...

The energy utilization of sensor nodes in large scale wireless sensor network points out the crucial need for scalable and energy efficient clustering protocols. Since sensor nodes usually operate on batteries, the maximum utility of network is greatly dependent on ideal usage of energy leftover in these sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose an Energy Efficient Cluster Based Scheduling Scheme...
