Recently, the advances in micro-technology and highly integrated electronics speeded up the rising technology of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In WSNs distributed autonomous, self-configuring devices, so called sensor nodes, cooperate to form a wireless network for monitoring environmental conditions such as temperature, motion etc. Originally starting from military researches, their applica...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) enable many vital applications ranging from environmental monitoring to human health control. Main research efforts in the WSNs focused on minimizing energy consumption because wireless sensor nodes are mostly powered by batteries which are usually hard to replace. Recent research on long-lasting WSNs is proposing energy harvesters combined with rechargeable batt...

This paper proposes a Real-Time Link Reliability Routing protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The protocol achieves to reduce packet deadline miss ratio while considering link reliability, two-hop velocity and power efficiency and utilizes memory and computational effective methods for estimating the link metrics. Numerical results provide insights that the protocol has a lower packet ...

Seizure activity has been proposed to result in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which then contribute to seizure-induced neuronal damage and eventually cell death. Although the mechanisms of seizure-induced ROS generation are unclear, mitochondria and cellular calcium overload have been proposed to have a crucial role. We aim to determine the sources of seizure-induced ROS and ...

Given the increasing importance of optimal sensor deployment for battlefield strategists, the converse problem of reacting to a particular deployment by an enemy is equally significant and not yet addressed in a quantifiable manner in the literature. We address this issue by modeling a two stage game in which the opponent deploys sensors to cover a sensor field and we attempt to maximally reduc...
