In delay tolerant WSNs mobile ferries can be used for collecting data from sensor nodes, especially in large-scale networks. Unlike data collection via multi-hop forwarding among the nodes, ferries travel across the sensing field and collect data from sensors. The advantage of using a ferry-based approach is that, it eliminates the need for multi-hop forwarding of data, and as a result energy c...

The state of Washington operates the largest passenger vessel ferry system in the United States. In part due to the introduction of high-speed ferries, the state of Washington established an independent blue-ribbon panel to assess the adequacy of requirements for passenger and crew safety aboard the Washington state ferries. On July 9, 1998, the Blue Ribbon Panel on Washington State Ferry Safet...

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that can communicate with each other using Multihop wireless links without using any fixed infrastructure and centralized controller. Communication links are susceptible to frequent failures due to intervening objects, which can cause intermittent connectivity. Due to Intermittent connectivity, there is no end-to-end path exists be...

Europe is an extremely ferry-intensive area, with two main markets – the Northern and Baltic, Mediterranean; while EU ferries account for 35% of world fleet. This research presents E-ferry, first pure electric ferry medium range routes likely largest battery pack ever installed in vessel, evaluates its economic performance compared to electric-diesel a diesel vessel. Three E-ferry schemes are u...

IZINDABA 318 A top-level think tank on KwaZulu-Natal's perplexing 'outbreak' of XDR-TB has recommended urgent inpatient point prevalence surveys and better screening of HIV-positive TB-symptomatic patients in order to better assess its country-wide extent. Speaking after provincial health, World Health Association (WHO) and Medical Research Council (MRC) officials met in Pietermaritzburg at the...

Autonomous transportation is an increasingly popular concept and gradually becoming a reality. This transformation also changes the way people travel. For example, autonomous ferry emerging alternative for residents living in coastal areas. To evaluate safety of ferry, thorough review necessary. paper makes initial attempt by developing model performing risk assessment collisions between ship w...

quantification of the habitat available for fish species named rainbow trout (oncorhynchusmykiss) were evaluated in lees ferry, colorado river using water depth, water temperature, sediment transport,flow velocity in 2004 as environmental index. for the flow velocity and temperature distribution calculationsin the river, the navier-stokes equation and energy conservation equations with finite v...
