This article describes reproducibility of a single-step automated β-galactosidase, and the equivalence of its data to the traditional assay ("Experiments in Molecular Genetics" [1]). This was done via a pairwise comparison of both methods using strains with Miller Unit [MU] values ranging from 0 to over 2000. The data presented in this article is associated with the research article entitled "A...

The Reader Collision Problem (RCP) is a bottle-neck decreasing the reading efficiency in multiplereader RFID systems. This paper proposed a novel anti-collision protocol – DRA (Distributed Reservation-based Anti-collision) protocol to solve the RCP in multiple-reader RFID systems. Temporal Cluster Headers (TCHs) are dynamically selected among the potentially interfered readers in DRA protocol. ...

Due to the limitless possibilities and low cost, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are used in a variety of applications to uniquely identify physical objects. The operation of RFID systems often involves a situation in which numerous tags are present in the interrogation zone of a single reader at the same time. The tags can collide and cancel each other out, leading to retransmiss...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an emerging wireless communication technology which allows objects to be identified automatically. An RFID system consists of a set of readers and several objects, equipped with small and inexpensive computer chips, called tags. In a dense RFID system, where several readers are placed together to improve the read rate and correctness, readers and tags ca...

The RFID technology is affected by the reader-to-reader collision problem. Several studies propose anti-collision protocols. A high throughput adaptation protocol based on time division is Colorwave. A known mechanism, already applied to another time division protocol to improve its performance, is the introduction of a probability factor in the collision resolution routine. In this work, the e...

Hafez Shirazi was a distinguished Persian poet. His poetry collection, Divan, is regarded as a literary work of profound significance. Iranians view this collection as something much more than poetry because it is also used for bibliomantic purposes. After studying Hafez in his social context and exploring distinctive qualities of his Divan, particularly its application as a divination tool, th...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate readers’ annotations in library books and attitudes towards marginalia among library users. In particular, the study discusses how marginalia function as reader-to-reader communication. Design/methodology/approach – The study used data collected from both public library and university library collections, as well as a user survey conducted a...

RFID uses radio frequency waves to track and identify objects. RFID system consists of tags and readers. Passive RFID tags are more popular now days due to its simpler circuitry, lower weight and lower cost. Generally passive tags are attached with an object for unique identification. A tag contains information about the particular product, to which it is attached. RFID reader is used to interr...

Advances in wireless and mobile communication technologies have enabled the development of various RFID-based systems and applications in addition to the extension of the tag reading range of mobile readers. Thus, it has become commonplace that multiple readers concurrently attempt to read tags within ranges of the readers. However, this concurrent access among multiple mobile readers brings ab...
