This paper proposes an efficient network architecture to improve energy consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The proposed architecture uses a mobile data collector to a partitioned network. The mobile data collector moves to center of each logical partition after each decision period. The mobile data collector must declare its new location by packet broadcasting to all sensor node...

Generational garbage collection is an established method for creating eecient garbage collectors. Even a simple implementation where all nodes that survive one garbage collection are tenured, i.e., moved to an old generation , works well in strict languages. In lazy languages, however, such an implementation can create severe temporary space leaks. The temporary space leaks appear in programs t...

Automatic garbage collection relieves programmers from the burden of managing memory themselves and several techniques have been developed that make garbage collection feasible in many situations , including real time applications or within traditional programming languages. However optimal performance cannot always be achieved by a uniform general purpose solution. Sometimes an algorithm exhib...

An evacuated tubular solar collector was fabricated from acrylics for improved resistance to shattering. A plasmatron was employed to apply a thin gas-barrier coating to the surfaces of the plastic tube to prevent/alleviate gas infiltration. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of vacuum level on the performance of the non-glass vacuum-tube solar collector. Inserted in the evacu...

Wet-collector systems, designed and operated for air-pollution control without concern for or con­ sideration of the stream-pollution effects of their liquid-borne wastes, may cause significant localized pollution of surface and ground water bodies. Wet­ collector systems can be designed with presently known technology to decrease contaminants in effluent outfalls to acceptable levels. Increasi...

AIM The objective of the current study is to determine the concentration of aflatoxin B1 using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a photodiode array (PDA) detector. MATERIALS AND METHODS Aflatoxin B1 certified reference grade from Trilogy Analytical Laboratory dissolved acetonitrile (ACN) at 10 µg/mL was using standard assessment. HPLC instruments such as ultraviolet-PDA detec...

Many garbage collectors on parallel computers are written in sequential languages, therefore thay are not portable across machines with different communication primitives. Moreover, the description of garbage collectors on distributed memory machines, which use asynchronous messages, is complex. We implemented a garbage collector for parallel object-oriented language Schematic by using Schemati...

Our research is concerned with compiler-independent, tag-free garbage collection for the C ++ programming language. This paper presents a mark-and-sweep collector , and explains how it ameliorates shortcomings of a previous copy collector. The new collector, like the old, uses C ++ 's facilities for creating abstract data types to deene a tracked reference type, called roots, at the level of th...

The concern about enhancing the productivity of Salitre phosphate mines has led to an extensive research and development program on new reagents, aimed at sustainable processing ore, with greater production concentrate and, consequently, less waste disposal in tailings dam. Flotation is most widely applied technique for rocks, using mainly fatty acids their salts as collectors. In partnership B...

Along with the prevalence of email, a number of free email managers have been developed to assist people to deal with personal and interpersonal affairs. Beside sending and receiving email, they provide a diversity of function such as memorandum and calendar. Many researchers are interested in how people communicate via email. They may have questions such as " how long does it take them to repl...
