Wireless sensor networks attracting a great deal of research interest. Accurate localization of sensor nodes is a strong requirement in a wide area of applications. In recent years, several techniques have been proposed for localization in wireless sensor networks. In this paper we present a localization scheme with using only one mobile anchor station and received signal strength indicator tec...

The swarm robotic concept has become a topic of extensive research in hazardous environments where a fault tolerant, robust and energy efficient approach is needed. In this paper we present behavior based algorithm for target navigation and swarm distribution over hazardous targets. This work is inspired by ant colony models. Our goal is to derive a heuristic algorithm for target localization a...

A distractor presented nearby the target of a goal-directed short latency saccade leads to spatial averaging, that is, the saccade lands between the target and the distractor. This so-called global effect is a characteristic feature of the spatial processing underlying the programming of saccadic eye movements. To determine whether this effect of near distractors on saccade metrics is also refl...

Recent localization systems do not effectively estimate the location of a target in the presence of dynamic obstacles. This paper presents nonline-of-sight (NLOS) localization technique and system for a quiet and known environment based on the measured time-of-arrival (ToA) of first arrival low-frequency acoustic signals. The true ToA is estimated using the modelled map, and then compared with ...

Accurate signal-source and signal-reflector target localization tasks via mobile sensory units and wireless sensor networks (WSNs), including those for environmental monitoring via sensory UAVs, require precise knowledge of specific signal propagation properties of the environment, which are permittivity and path loss coefficients for the electromagnetic signal case. Thus, accurate estimation o...

Magnetic detection technology has wide applications in the fields of geological exploration, biomedical treatment, wreck removal and localization of unexploded ordinance. A large number of methods have been developed to locate targets with static magnetic fields, however, the relation between the problem of localization of moving objectives with alternating magnetic fields and the localization ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is the process by which short-interfering RNA (siRNA) target a specific mRNA for degradation through interactions with an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Here, a clear correlation between siRNA localization, cellular uptake, and RNAi activity was discovered by delivering siRNA into cells using siRNA-TAT(47-57) peptide, siRNA-TAT(47-57)-derived oligocarbamate conjug...

glioblastoma is the most common and the most lethal primary brain cancer. this malignancy is highly locally invasive, rarely metastatic and resistant to current therapies. little is known about the distinct molecular biology of glioblastoma multiforme (gbm) in terms of initiation and progression. so far, several molecular mechanisms have been suggested to implicate in gbm development. homeodoma...
