This article intends to present a Cluster based Trustable Target Detection and Tracking Scheme (CTTDTS) for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The entire network area is segregated into numerous equal sized grids and each grid acts as a cluster. All the grids are populated with equal count of nodes. A predominant node is elected for each grid by means of trust degree, which is computed by the Demps...

—Despite progress made in recent years, cluster formation delay, load balancing, energy holes remain challenging for cluster-based topology control protocols. When, for energy efficiency purpose, one tries to address these problems simultaneously, one is confronted with latency, message overhead, and topological defects such as isolated Cluster Heads (CH), pairs of adjacent CHs etc. These unex...

The Aerodyne Mobile Laboratory was deployed to the Houston Ship Channel and surrounding areas during the Benzene and Other Toxics Exposure field study in February 2015. We evaluated atmospheric concentrations of volatile organic hydrocarbons and other hazardous air pollutants of importance to human health, including benzene, 1,3-butadiene, toluene, xylenes, ethylbenzenes, styrene, and NO2. Ambi...

Three-parameter lognormal distribution has been demonstrated for applications in electromigration data analysis, especially for Cu interconnect structures with insufficient redundancy. Examples are given on estimating parameter values from experimental data using the maximum likelihood method. Detailed analyses are presented on confidence bound estimations of the parameters and their propagatio...

A citations analysis Purpose of this paper This paper addresses the question: should the world s top universities be led by top researchers, and are they? Design / methodology / approach The lifetime citations are counted by hand of the leaders of the world s top 100 universities identified in a global university ranking. These numbers are then normalised by adjusting for the different citation...

The authors develop a framework that incorporates projected profitability of customers in the computation of lifetime duration. Furthermore, the authors identify factors under a manager’s control that explain the variation in the profitable lifetime duration. They also compare other frameworks with the traditional methods such as the recency, frequency, and monetary value framework and past cus...

the neighborhood has had a long history in iranian urbanization. since urban plans wereintroduced by the authorities to shape urban development in iran half a century ago, the concept of iranian traditional neighborhood has been neglected gradually. the concept of neighborhood has not found the appropriate status in urban design and planning yet. one of the main reasons is that academics, profe...

in this paper, new definitions of $l$-fuzzy closure operator, $l$-fuzzy interior operator, $l$-fuzzy remote neighborhood system, $l$-fuzzy neighborhood system and $l$-fuzzy quasi-coincident neighborhood system are proposed. it is proved that the category of $l$-fuzzy closure spaces, the category of $l$-fuzzy interior spaces, the category of $l$-fuzzy remote neighborhood spaces, the category of ...

Concurrent communication constitutes one of the challenging issues associated with IoT networks, as it is highly likely that multiple devices may start simultaneously. This issue has become more complex belonging to networks increasingly mobile. To resolve this issue, various mechanisms have been reported in literature. However, none these approaches considered neighborhood information a server...
