Recently, low-power wireless networking standards like 802.15.1 (Bluetooth) have driven consumer interest in personal area networks (PANs). These networks are designed for inexpensively connecting low-power devices located within 1 m to 100 m of each other. In this paper, we discuss recent evolutions to the Bluetooth standard, as well as two emerging PAN standards: 802.15.4/ZigBee, and Ultra-Wi...

In this study, the effect of diet food (soybeans, egg yolk and chicken manure) on biomass weight and body composition (the amount of protein, fat, moisture and ash) Chironomid larvae were examined. For this purpose, 2.5 grams of food per Coconut considered in the period, with three replicates and Chironomid larvae during the period of 15 days in plastic pans were kept in nutrition. The results ...

This article presents results of a research project aimed at developing novel meeting support for mobile work domains. The system developed, called RoamWare, supports seamless ongoing interaction across collocated mobile face-to-face meetings and dispersed work settings by use of wireless inter-PANs. An inter-PAN is an ad hoc setup of several mobile devices belonging to different users. This ar...

Imagine the scene; the camera pans from a Petri dish of wriggling larvae to a sexy blonde scientist who is peering at the animals through a microscope. She looks up, terror-stricken, and says into the camera ‘My God, they’re evolving!’ While TV and movie scenes like this make most biologists chuckle, Australian conservation biologists who are working to contain an invasion of exotic cane toads ...

In Japan, the standard treatment approach for women with early-stage cervical cancer includes a radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy for stage IB–IIB disease [1]. A benefit of surgery is that exploration allows surgeons to have an opportunity to assess the para-aortic lymph nodes (PANs) for metastasis. A recent survey study has shown that nearly 60% of Japanese Gynecologic...

Heterogeneous network convergence and handover have become very hot in recent years. This paper proposed an efficient handover scheme in Multi-PAN Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). A number of edge nodes are set at the edge of each Personal Area Networks (PANs). A user equipment (UE), which has WSN and cellular network interface, acts as sensor node or mobile cluster head in WSN area. Thus, edge...

We examine and outline challenges in IPv6 routing over low-power wireless personal area networks (PANs). We present empirical measurements and analysis of an increasingly popular PAN link layer, 802.15.4. We show that over short periods 802.15.4 exhibits bimodal connectivity, but over longer periods has many intermediate links. We quantify how synchonous acknowledgments affect common lowpower r...

development of sensors to detect the location and depth of hard pans in real time is a major restriction on the application of site specific crop management (sscm). in this study, a soil compaction profile sensor equipped with four horizontal operating penetro-meters for on-the-go sensing and mapping of the location and intensity of hard pans arti-ficially formed in a soil bin was developed and...

Zusammenfassung Immunmediierte Bewegungsstörungen können entsprechend ihrer pathogenetischen Mechanismen in 1.) antikörpervermittelte, 2.) postinfektiöse bzw. infektiös getriggerte und 3.) paraneoplastische eingeteilt werden. Die erste Gruppe umfasst Patient*innen mit Antikörpern beispielsweise gegen NMDAR, LGI1, Caspr2, IgLON5, GAD65 den Glycinrezeptor präsentieren sich vornehmlich Verbindung ...
