In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the energy consumption due to the sensed data transmission is more than processing data locally within the sensor node.The data aggregation is one of the techniques to conserve energy by eliminating the redundant data transmission in dense WSNs.In this paper, we propose an energy efficient structure-free data agg
The random access (RA) mechanism of Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks is prone to congestion when a large number of devices attempt RA simultaneously, due to the limited set of preambles.If each RA attempt is made by means of transmission of multiple consecutive preambles (codewords) picked from a subset of preambles, as proposed, collision probab
Nanoplasmonic waveguides utilizing surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagation have been investigated for more than 15 years and are now well understood.Many researchers make their efforts to find the best ways of using light and overcoming the speed limit of integrated circuits by means of SPPs.Here, we introduce the simulation results and fabri
The introduction of genetically modified grain and oilseed products at the farm level and resistance for these products by consumer groups have led to segmentation in grain markets.This study explores the implications for market price behavior for a segregated soybean market for genetically modified (GM) and non-GM varieties.A stochastic dynamic si
Abstract Promoting well-being is one of the key targets of the Sustainable Development Goals at the United Nations.Many national and city governments worldwide are incorporating Subjective Well-Being (SWB) indicators into their agenda, to complement traditional objective development and economic metrics.In this study, we introduce the Twitter Senti
