We study the sensitivity of future xenon- and argon-based dark matter neutrino detection experiments to low-energy atmospheric neutrinos. Not accounting for experimental backgrounds, primary obstacle identifying nuclear recoils induced by neutrinos is tail electron recoil distribution due $pp$ solar use NEST code model signals in a xenon detector find that an exposure 700 tonne-years will produ...

In a recent publication, Kettner et. al. [1] have suggested that one could speed up alpha decay of transuranic nuclear waste material by embedding it in metals at low temperature. This would have a huge impact on waste disposal management and quite likely initiate a completely renewed public debate on the subject of nuclear energy. The proposed idea is that the electron screening provided by th...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) comprising of tiny, power-constrained nodes are getting very popular due to their potential uses in wide applications like monitoring of environmental conditions, various military and civilian applications. The critical issue in the node is energy consumption since it is operated using battery, therefore its lifetime should be maximized for effective utilization ...

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), the clustering protocol requires the nodes local information like energy level, distance between to BS and node density, link quality and load while estimating the cluster heads to handle network lifetime. In this study, we propose fuzzy based optimal clustering protocol for maximizing lifetime in WSN. Initially, several provisional cluster heads are elected i...

In recent times wireless sensor networks have grown enormously and become progressively attractive in wide variety of applications because of their low cost, low power, small in size, self-organizing behavior in harsh environments. Routing is a vital technology in WSN. There are many routing protocols like: location based, multipath, data centric, mobility based, hierarchical routing, hybrid ro...

The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have been regarded as one of the most promising new generation solar cells. Tremendous research efforts have been invested to improve the efficiency of solar energy conversion which is generally determined by the light harvesting efficiency, electron injection efficiency and undesirable electron lifetime. In this review, various characteristics of dye-...

An Ad Hoc network is an infrastructure less wireless network consisting of mobile moving nodes. In a network each mobile node act as a router as well as packet forwarder. Nodes in a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) have limited battery power. Power consumption of network interfaces can be significant. In a MANET, if a mobile node continuously transmitting the data packets, more battery power consu...
