typically, two configurations are used for energy harvesting, with different advantages: piezoelastic and piezomagnetoelastic. best performance of piezoelastic configuration is limited to its narrow bandwidth around the resonance frequency. if the excitation frequency slightly deviates from the resonance frequency, the power-out is severely reduced. to overcome this, the piezomagnetoelastic has...

A challenge in designing wireless sensor networks is to maximize the lifetime of the network with respect to limited resources and energy. These limitations make the network particularly vulnerable to attacks from adversaries. Denial of Service (DOS) is considered a severely damaging attack in monitoring applications when intruders attack the network and force it to lose its power and die early...

In wireless sensor networks source data must be routed by intermediate nodes to reach the sink. Data aggregation is an efficient method to decrease energy consumption in these networks. However, providing end to end data reliability is a major challenge when the network uses data aggregation, in this case, a packet loss can greatly affect final results. End to end reliability can be increased b...

Dynamic consolidation of Virtual Machines (VMs) can effectively enhance the resource utilization and energyefficiency of the Cloud Data Centers (CDC). Existing research on Cloud resource reservation and scheduling signify that Cloud Service Users (CSUs) can play a crucial role in improving the resource utilization by providing valuable information to Cloud service providers. However, utilizatio...

The application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) technologies in various engineering and scientific areas has seen a rapid growth in recent years. WSNs have been applied to monitoring, measuring, control and coordination in different areas like military applications, industrial environments, agriculture and more. Many WSN applications such as industrial applications require real-time communica...

Abstract In order to study energy consumption in Iran's agricultural sector, a Genetic algorithm concept was used to calculate significant factors affecting energy consumption between 1974 and 2008. Then, durability or "stability" of variables was assessed through econometric method (Augmented Dickey-Fuller test). In addition, long-term and short-term relationships of energy consumption were es...

introduction in the wastewater treatment industry, the general attentionis mostly paidto the effluent quality standards. regardless of energy consumption, the treatment plants have been designed based on experience rather than the latest scientific findings.the treatment plants are considered as a part of energy equipment which largely consumed electrical energy.thus, electricity is the great p...

The Predictive Energy Efficient Bee Routing PEEBR is a swarm intelligent reactive routing algorithm inspired from the bees food search behavior. PEEBR aims to optimize path selection in the Mobile Ad-hoc Network MANET based on energy consumption prediction. It uses Artificial Bees Colony ABC Optimization model and two types of bee agents: The scout bee for exploration phase and the forager bee ...
