This review is devoted to precision physics of simple atoms. The atoms can essentially be described in the framework of quantum electrodynamics (QED), however, the energy levels are also affected by the effects of the strong interaction due to the nuclear structure. We pay special attention to QED tests based on studies of simple atoms and consider the influence of nuclear structure on energy l...

In a typical Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) application, the basic communication service is the transportation of the data collected from sensors to the base station. For prolonging the network lifetime, energy efficiency should be one of the primary attributes of such a service. The amount of data transmitted by a node usually depends on how much local processing is performed. As an example, in...

introduction: scatter radiation is one of the major sources of error in nuclear medicine data processing. different methods of scatter correction have been introduced in order to improve the quality of data. however the best method is to avoid recording of scatter photons in acquisition. the only difference between scattered and non-scattered photons is the energy. pulse height analyzer is the ...

A simple semi-phenomenological model, which accurately predicts the dependence of thresholdcurrent for temperature of Resonant-phonon three well quantum cascade laser based on verticaltransitions is offered. We found that, the longitude optical phonon scattering of thermally excitedelectrons is the most important limiting factor for thermal performance of high frequency THz QCLs.In low frequenc...

Wireless Ad-hoc or Sensor Network has wide range of applications. Sometimes it is not possible to replace batteries of Ad-hoc or Sensor nodes in as network is deployed in inaccessible area. Resource constrained nodes run on batteries with limited capacity. For long running of the ad-hoc or sensor network, energy consumption on each node and lifetime of overall network is a concern for these app...

Wireless Sensor Networks are the new generation of networks that typically are formed great numbers of nodes and the communications of these nodes are done as Wireless. The main goal of these networks is collecting data from neighboring environment of network sensors. Since the sensor nodes are battery operated and there is no possibility of charging or replacing the batteries, the lifetime of ...

Routing is an important challenge in WSN due to the presence of hundreds or thousands of sensor nodes. Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) is a hierarchical routing and data dissemination protocol. LEACH divides a network domain into several sub-domains that are called clusters. Non-uniformity of cluster distribution and CHs selection without considering the positions of other sens...

Accidental or intentional release of radioactive materials into the living or working environment may cause radioactive contamination. In nuclear medicine departments, radioactive contamination is usually due to radionuclides which emit high energy gamma photons and particles. These radionuclides have a broad range of energies and penetration capabilities. Rapid detection of radioactive contami...

Wireless sensor networks have emerged as a promising technology for a wide range of important applications. Energy conservation and prolonging the network lifetime are significant challenges in the design and implementation of wireless sensor networks. Clustering techniques have emerged as a popular choice for prolonging the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. In this paper, we propose a Two...
