چکیده
“Baby Bollinger” (first name: Allen) was born to Anna and Allen Bollinger at the German-American Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. The seven-pound Baby Bollinger was diagnosed with multiple physical anomalies and became the first victim in a string of public infanticides of disabled babies committed by the head of staff at the hospital, Dr. Harry Haiselden. The doctor declared Baby Bollinger a “monster,” a “pitiful bundle of semi-life.” Anna Bollinger was encouraged to allow her baby to die by withholding life-saving surgery. “I want my baby. But the doctor has told me . . . I want him to live—but I couldn’t bear to think of how he would suffer . . . how he would so often curse the day he was born. So I agreed with the doctor.” On the day of Baby Bollinger’s death, a Chicago newspaper printed the following description of him: “A pink bit of humanity lay upon the white cloth. Its blue eyes were wide open. Its hair was brown and silky, it dug at its face with little fists. It cried lustily as it drew up chubby legs and kicked out. It seemed quite vigorously informed with life.”

Energy Efficient Clustering using a Wake-up Receiver
We present a new energy-saving method for creating node clusters with similar sensor readings. The idea is to wake up a node/main transceiver only when data correlated to the node’s own data is transmitted. This is achieved by encoding relevant parts of local data in a wake-up receiver’s data pattern. Through this new protocol the building of clusters becomes highly energy-efficient, even if re...
