A wireless sensor network (WSN) is comprised of resource constrained devices called motes. Motes are battery operated and must conserve as much power as possible. Power usage for each mote is made up of processing data, sensing the surroundings, and sending and receiving packets. The bulk of power usage for standard WSN applications lies in the radio where receiving and sending packets are nece...

With the increasing proportion of wind power integration, effect on stability system angle cannot be ignored. In this paper, based different characteristics direct-drive generators before a fault and after its clearance, model receiving-end grid with thermal units replaced by turbines is simplified. The influence increase in replacement ratio transfer impedance between sending end receiving ana...

Eye contact often elicits a smiling response. We investigated whether an individual’s awareness that the recipient perceives their direct gaze during eye has influence on this Participants wore glasses with either clear or dark lenses (preventing other person from seeing eyes). Measurements of electromyographic activity zygomatic and periocular muscle regions showed responses were greater to ot...

2. Latency. Latency, also known as delay, is a measure of the time it takes to traverse the network, including going through any intermediate routers. It represents the elapsed time between a sending node sending a packet and receiving node receiving that packet. For example, on my system, a local loopback (sending a packet back to the same machine) gives me a latency of 0.043 ms (milliseconds)...

The Inter feeder Power Flow Regulator (IFPFR) proposed in this paper consists of several voltage source inverters with common dc bus; each inverter is connected in series with one of different independent distribution feeders in the power system. This paper is concerned with how to transfer power between the feeders for load sharing purpose. The power controller of each inverter injects the pow...

This study presents a finding an optimal location and best parameter setting of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) by Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) for minimizing the active and reactive power loss in power system. The UPFC is one of the important Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) device that control simultaneously voltage magnitude at the sending end...

In this work we investigate the impact of the receiving end-system performance on data transfer to it via a dedicated optical circuit. Such a situation commonly exists in an e-Science application which may receive data from an optical circuit and process it simultaneously. We illustrate an end-system performance monitoring tool which can deliver the feedback of the receiving end-system performa...

Evidence from two experiments indicates that task-related communication promotes cooperation in mixed-motive situations by activating interpersonal norms related to fairness and trust. In Experiment 1, task-related communication increased cooperation between individuals in a threechoice prisoner’s dilemma game (PDG-Alt) but task-unrelated communication did not. In Experiment 2, cooperation was ...
