Abstract:
Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is an important research topic: readings come from sensors scattered in the environment, and most of applications assume that the exact position of the sensors is known. Due to power restrictions, WSN nodes are not usually equipped with a global positioning system—hence, many techniques have been developed in order to estimate the position of nodes according to some measurements over the radio channel. In this paper, we propose a new technique to track a moving target by combining distance measurements obtained from both narrowband IEEE 802.15.4

Abstract:
The paper is a survey of the current status of research and practices in various disciplines of low-power VLSI developments. After briefly discussing the rationale of the contemporary focus on low-power design, it presents the metrics and techniques used to assess the merits of the various solutions proposed for improved energy efficiency. The requirements to be fulfilled by process technologies and device structures are reviewed as well as several promising circuit design styles and ad hoc design techniques. The impact of the design automation tools is analyzed with a special emphasis on phys

For low-velocity impact, drop‐weight impact tests performed by EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company) Corporate Research Center Germany have been carried out for 2‐D woven E‐Glass/epoxy composite systems to determine material response as a function of absorbed energy and damaged area. Nondestructive techniques like visual inspection and analysis of impact response of the woven fabric laminates at different energy levels are utilized to assess the initiation and progression of interlaminar and intralaminar damage.

Abstract:
Fibre reinforced polymer laminated composites are susceptible to impact damage during manufacture, normal operation, maintenance, and/or other stages of their life cycle. Initiation and growth of such damage lead to dramatic loss in the structural integrity and strength of laminates. This damage is generally difficult to detect and repair. This makes it important to find a preventive solution. There has been abundance of research dealing with the impact damage evolution of composite laminates and methods to mitigate and alleviate the damage initiation and growth.

Abstract:
Due to a greater social and environmental awareness of citizens, advantageous regulations and a favourable economic return on investment, the presence of photovoltaic (PV) installations in distribution grids is increasing. In the future, not only a significant increase in photovoltaic generation is expected, but also in other of the so-called distributed energy resources (DER), such as wind generation, storage, electric vehicle charging points or manageable demands. Despite the benefits posed by these technologies, an uncontrolled spread could create important challenges for the power system,

Abstract:
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are common in the tropical and subtropical countries. The burden of disease is highest in endemic areas with limited access to good quality water supply and poor sanitary conditions. Major approaches to control and reduce morbidity caused by worm infections include the periodic deworming of pre-school and school-aged children with anthelminthic drugs. Population-based studies and individual patient management including interventional studies can only be successful when accurate diagnostic techniques are used.

The development of composite materials has been following a growing trend, with its use ranging from sporting goods to construction materials and defense. The aerospace industry in particular has observed a minute increase in demand for these materials, since the associated weight reductions promise significant savings in fuel related costs. Composite materials, however, are prone to important and very specific failure modes which are invisible to the naked eye (e.g., delaminations, fiber ruptures, debondings) and occur in response to everyday events such as impacts.

An assessment of the vegetation in the arid desert habitats of Kuwait was carried out in 2008 and 2009. The richness of vegetation was examined in relation to human activity (e.g., grazing, recreational camping) and impact factors in two open areas (north of SAANR, NS; south of Kabd, SK) were compared with two protected areas (SAANR, Kabd). In total, 420 quadrats were sampled along 84 transects at random locations along off-road vehicle tracks in the study area. The data were classified using two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN) to divide samples into three groups of high internal sim
