A NOVEL COVERAGE OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY FOR HETEROGENEOUS WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS BASED ON CONNECTIVITY AND RELIABILITY

A Novel Coverage Optimization Strategy for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Connectivity and Reliability

To overcome the problems of coverage blind areas and coverage redundancy when sensor nodes are deployed randomly in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (HWSNs).An optimal coverage method for HWSNs based on an improved social spider optimization (SSO) algorithm is proposed, which can reduce the energy consumption and improve the network coverage.

Ecomorphological and taphonomic gradients in clypeasteroid-dominated echinoid assemblages along a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate shelf from the early Miocene of northern Sardinia, Italy

Clypeasteroid echinoids are widespread and abundant within Miocene sedimentary sequences of the Mediterranean area within both siliciclastic and carbonate deposits.Herein, three clypeasteroid-dominated echinoid assemblages from the mixed siliciclastic-carbonate succession of the Mores Formation (lower Miocene) cropping out within the Porto Torres B

Development of a simple and valid nutrition screening tool for pediatric hospitalized patients with acute illness [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations, 1 not approved]

Background: Nutritional screening, intervention and assessment in patients with undernutrition are key components of any nutritional care.The goal of any nutritional assessment is to determine the specific nutritional risk(s).Presently, there are no guidelines on any ideal screening tool to be used on admission for identification of children that a
