The geometry of a collector is one of the important factors that can increase the incident radiation on the collector surface. In the present study, the incident radiation for a stationary collector with cone geometry, i.e. a conical collector, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. This type of collector is always stable and does not need a fixture to install. Moreover, it has a...

This paper analyzes the requirements and presents a novel approach to the development of a system for epidemiological data collection and integration based on the principles of interoperability and modularity. Accurate and timely epidemic models require the integration of large, fresh datasets. Thus, from an e-science perspective, collected data should be shared seamlessly across multiple appli...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely researched by countries and institutes. The limited node energy has already become a constraint of large-scale applications. Seeking the energybalance features at sensor nodes to prolong the network lifetime, a multi-track mobile data collecting mechanism (MTMDC) was proposed in this paper. The MTMDC mechanism was composed of three major phases: ...

ARTICLE INFO Wireless sensor network (WSN) refers to a group of spatially dispersed and dedicated sensors for monitoring and recording the physical conditions of the environment and organizing the collected data at a central location. WSNs measure environmentalconditionslike temperature, sound, pollution levels, humidity, wind speed and direction, pressure, etc.A WSN consists of anywhere from a...

In this paper, we study mobile element (ME)-based data-gathering schemes in wireless sensor networks. Due to the physical speed limits of mobile elements, the existing data-gathering schemes that use mobile elements can suffer from high data-gathering latency. In order to address this problem, this paper proposes a new hierarchical and cooperative data-gathering (HiCoDG) scheme that enables mul...

Funding information TUBITAK TEYDEB 1501, Grant/Award Number: 3130411 Summary Mobile network operators run Operations Support Systems that produce vast amounts of alarm events. These events can have different significance levels and domains and also can trigger other ones. Network operators face the challenge to identify the significance and root causes of these system problems in real time and ...
