A wireless ad-hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes that makes a multi hop autonomous system without any fixed infrastructure. The nodes use service of other nodes in the network to transmit packet to the destination nodes. Mobile device are battery operated and this is the limited resource. So the energy conservation is the critical issue in the network. There are many approach suggested...

Conservation scientists have noted that conservation managers rarely use scientific information when making decisions. One of the reasons why managers rarely use scientific information may be that conservation scientists rarely provide their knowledge in a way that can directly be used by conservation practitioners. Here we show how quantitative recommendations for conservation can be derived. ...

resource sustainability requires a thorough understanding of the influence of forest management programs on the conservation of genetic diversity in tree populations. to observe how differences in forest management affect the genetic structure of fagus orientalis lipsky (oriental beech), we evaluated thirteen beech sites across hyrcanian forests, based on six microsatellite loci. significant di...
