Future large-scale sensor networks may comprise thousands of wirelessly connected sensor nodes that could provide an unimaginable opportunity to interact with physical phenomena in real time. However, the nodes are typically highly resource-constrained. Since the communication task is a significant power consumer, there are various attempts to introduce energy-awareness at different levels with...

Alkane functionalization using safe and low-energy processes is of great interest to industry academia. Aiming contribute the process saturated hydrocarbon functionalization, we have studied a set three manganese(III) complexes as catalysts for promoting oxidation hydrocarbons (cyclohexane methylcyclohexane) in presence hydrogen peroxide or trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA). The mononuclear comp...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopy has emerged as the preferred option for the surgical management of kidney cancer. Although many reports have been published regarding the operative outcome of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and upper-tract transitional cell carcinoma (TCCA) treated laparoscopically, few review the oncologic outcome of these pathologies treated with laparoscopic techniques. METHODS We review...

Thermal coral bleaching events (CBEs) over the Pacific, including those Great Barrier Reef (GBR), have commonly been linked to El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), with reported be a direct result of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies driven by Niño. However, such relationship cannot explain CBEs that occurred during La Niña or neutral phase ENSO. Here, we show GBR is characterized signifi...

This work reports the results of an evaluation study to assess the efficacy of the Early HeartSmarts (EHS) program in schools of the Salt Lake City, Utah, School District. The EHS program is designed to guide teachers with methods that support young children (3-6 y old) in learning emotion self-regulation and key age-appropriate socioemotional competencies with the goal of facilitating their em...
