Most of the clustering algorithms utilize two techniques which are selecting cluster-heads with more residual energy and rotating cluster-heads periodically to balance energy consumption of the sensor nodes over the network . These clustering algorithms do not take the location of the base station into consideration. This lack of consideration causes the hot spots problem in multi-hop wireless ...

aim: professional commitment has been widely discussed during the last decade. there is no comprehensive definition about “professional commitment in iranian nurses.” hence, this study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the concept of professional commitment in iranian nurses. materials and methods: hybrid model was used in three phases. firstly, in the theoretical phase, data were retriev...

the study examined gender analysis of energy use for rice production in north central nigeria using a sample of 60 rice farmers. an analysis of gender relations provides the information on the different conditions men and women face, and the different effects that policies and programs may have on them. simple descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. energy efficiency and energy pr...

Energy recirculation concept in semiconductor device characterization can increase power handling capacity of the source and it will reduce naturally existing high electrical stresses on under test. The proposed energy storage circuits (ERSC) be employed as a in-situ testing unit, by storing recirculating elements. ERSC enables devices to checked at full-power pressures without being attached h...

in this paper, non parametric data envelopment analysis (dea) was subjected to the energy data of wheat producers in punjab state, india, and technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies were calculated for farms both category wise and zone wise. the main objective was to determine the strength of the correlation between non-parametric efficiencies and indices such as energy ratio and speci...
