Routing Protocols are engaged in a vigorous fashion to boost up energy efficiency in WSNs. In this paper, we propose a novel routing protocol; Minimum distance Based Energy efficiency using Hemisphere Zoning with Advanced Divide-and-Rule scheme (M-BEHZAD), to maximize network lifespan, throughput and stability period of the sensors deployed in an un-attended network zone. To accomplish these ob...

Scientific writing can be hard for novice writers, even in their own language. We present a system that applies Argumentative Zoning (AZ) (Teufel & Moens 2002), a method of determining argumentative structure in texts, to the task of advising novice writers on their writing. We address this task by automatically determining the rhetorical/argumentative status and the implicit author stance of a...

Agents operating in open fields, like robots, soldiers, rescue workers, or ships, may need to do qualitative reasoning with relative directions. We have introduced here a generalized framework for that purpose, with a parameterized angular zoning scheme (e.g., zoning with 60-degree or 90-degree). Such a parameterization of qualitative reasoning is a new direction, for an area that typically eng...

Introduction: Type B1 CAIs are a major type of refractory inclusion in CV3 carbonaceous chondrites. An intriguing feature of fassaite in many Type B1 inclusions is complex zoning within single crystals. Seen in backscattered electron images (BEIs), the zoning reflects irregular, sometimes patchy, distributions of TiO2 and correlated and anticorrelated oxides; this zoning is not synonymous with ...

Multi-use marine parks achieve conservation through spatial management of activities. Zoning of marine parks in New South Wales, Australia, includes high conservation areas and special purpose zones (SPZ) where maritime activities are concentrated. Although such measures geographically constrain anthropogenic impacts, we have limited understanding of potential ecological effects. We assessed se...
