Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) arouse as a better alternative of underwater wired instruments for data gathering. Acoustic signals offer low bandwidth and UWSNs faces low reliability, high delay and high energy consumption issues. Moreover, energy holes creation decreases network performance in terms of energy and throughput. The design of routing protocols which considers these challenges...
In this paper, we propose an algorithm to alleviate coverage hole problem using geographic routing strategy for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In order to accomplish desired results, an optimal number of forwarder nodes is computed along with the selection of path that has minimum energy consumption. Moreover, at each hop residual energy of a sensor is calculated and knowledge up-to one hop neighbors...
In wireless sensor networks (WSNs) energy balancing and energy efficiency are the key requirements to prolong the network lifetime. In this paper, we investigate the problem of energy hole, where sensor nodes located near the sink or in some other parts of the network die very early due to unbalanced load distribution. Moreover, there is a dire need to utilize the energy resource efficiently. For...

A network of Timepix (TPX) devices installed in the ATLAS cavern measures the LHC luminosity as a function of time as a stand-alone system. The data were recorded from 13 TeV proton-proton collisions in 2015. Using two TPX devices, the number of hits created by particles passing the pixel matrices was counted. A van der Meer scan of the LHC beams was analysed using bunch-integrated luminosity averages...
Ripeness monitoring of tomato is very important due to the biosynthesis of a carotenoid Lycopene that increases with the maturity process. The ripening stages of tomato can be estimated by the smell it generates during particular maturity stages. This paper aims the detection of Trans-2-hexenal, an important ripening volatile of tomato with the help of quartz crystal microbalance sensor. A coating...
Due to unique characteristics of underwater environment, it is difficult to achieve energy efficiency, high throughput and low bit error rate. Radio signals do not propagate well in underwater environment so acoustic signals are used for communication. Acoustic signals offer low bandwidth, high bit error rate, low throughput and high end-to-end delay. Data packets often loose their path which effect...
In this paper, performance of hydraulic pressure based routing protocol (HydroCast) is examined, and (Improved HydroCast) a technique for reliable HydroCast is proposed. Pressure level of sensor nodes is used to route data packet in greedy multi hop fashion to sinks deployed on the surface of water. The goal of this paper is to define reliable routing technique, that is applicable for both low and...
In this paper, we present the mobile autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)-aided efficient localization scheme for underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). Localization is one of the major issues in UWSNs as it is important in some large scale applications to know the accurate position of sensor nodes. It is more difficult to localize a node in underwater environment compared to terrestrial. The...
A network of 16 Medipix-2 (MPX) silicon pixel devices was installed in the ATLAS detector cavern at CERN. It was designed to measure the composition and spectral characteristics of the radiation field in the ATLAS experiment and its surroundings. This study demonstrates that the MPX network can also be used as a self-sufficient luminosity monitoring system. The MPX detectors collect data independently...
In the field of education, the need of combining learning with enjoyment can never be underestimated. In order to accomplish these goals, educational applications are widely being developedespecially for smart phones. Most of these applications, however provide a total virtual environment. Such an environmentlacks interactivity and providesa rigid learning experience. Augmented Reality (AR) can bridge...
