On mobile phones, Information Retrieval (IR) applications that search over remote collections consume significant energy as a result of network activity. Typical IR applications mainly focus on retrieving and presenting relevant documents to users in an effective manner and do not take into account the cost of network data transfer. Despite the improvements in network access, energy consumption...

Energy consumption in Iran is a subject of debate. Some may think that oil is cheap in Iran and thus no need for this kind of research. This simple minding is erroneous first because Iran subsidizes billion dollars each year for the imported diesel fuel specially for agricultural use and second because energy studies reveal the degree of professionally using the technology. We can easily find t...

Data Processing is an important issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, constrained energy will lead to the network life deeply affected by the power consumption of data processing. Hence, reducing the power consumption becomes an important objective to improve the performance of WSNs. In this paper, an energy-efficient data processing scheme (EED) is proposed to reach the goal of sa...

This research investigates the co-movement and causality relationships between greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and economic growth for 16 Asian countries over the period 1990-2012. The empirical findings suggest that in the long run, bidirectional Granger causality between energy consumption, GDP and greenhouse gas emissions and between GDP, greenhouse gas emissions and energy cons...
