In this study a facile approach to employ Copper nanoparticle (CuNPs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) as the nanomaterial for selective detection of asulam have been investigated. This work reports the electrocatalytic oxidation of asulam on glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), ionic liquids (IL), chitosan (Chit) and copper nanoparticles ...

Since the batteries in a wireless sensor network are either hard to charged or replaced, how to efficiently utilize limited energy in a wireless sensor network has become an important issue. Those operations for a sensor to consume energy are target detection, data transmission and reception, data processing, etc. Among others data transmission consumes most of the energy, and it heavily depend...

Ultrasonic techniques have the potential to provide early detection of fatigue induced cracks originating from fastener holes with the long term goal of structural health monitoring. This paper considers energy-based algorithms for analyzing ultrasonic waveforms obtained using fixed angle beam transducers in a through-transmission configuration. The transducers were located on either side of th...

Due to the fact that security and energy efficiency are investigated separately in the conventional Primary User Emulation Attack (PUEA) countermeasure strategy in Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) process, the tradeoff between security and energy efficiency is discussed in this paper. CSS can improve detection performance whereas energy consumption will dramatically boost up with the increasi...

Artificial lighting is responsible for a large portion of total energy consumption and has great potential for energy saving. This paper designs an LED light control algorithm based on users’ localization using multiple battery-less binary human detection sensors. The proposed lighting control system focuses on reducing office lighting energy consumption and satisfying users’ illumination requi...
