The complete nucleotide sequence of the neuraminidase (NA) gene of WSN/33 (H1N1) virus was determined. The entire sequence was derived from the insert of cDNA clones, except the last 20 nucleotides, which were determined by primer extension. The WSN NA gene contained 1,409 nucleotides beginning at the 5' end (sense strand), with an untranslated region of 19 nucleotides followed by 1,359 nucleot...

WSN is a technology, straddling many application areas of this millennium. The research and practices in WSN have not mended their ways due to many unjust requirement specifications for WSN architecture. The paradox is WSN characteristics and traditional approaches for network operation are diagonally opposite. Power optimization, resource constraints and small form factor are the main characte...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are nowadays applied to a wide set of domains (e.g., security, health). WSN are networks of spatially distributed, radio-communicating, battery-powered, autonomous sensor nodes. WSN are characterized by scarcity of resources, hence an application running on them should carefully manage its resources. The most critical resource in WSN is the nodes’ battery. In this...

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the common communication networks that have been used nowadays. The main idea of this paper is to solve the coverage problem in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) by increasing sensor nodes coverage percentages [1]. To provide proper coverage of their random deployment regions, wireless sensor networks (WSN) should employ some smart nodes. This work is focus...

Wireless technologies have achieved dramatic growth in recent years. Wireless sensor networks (WSN), in particular, have captured the interest of various sectors. The increasing popularity of WSN has motivated universities to include the subject in their curricula. Effective learning and teaching of WSN, however, require the students to gain hands-on experiences in developing WSN projects, whic...

In wireless sensor network, high packet loss occurs due to the mobile sensor nodes. Energy consumption is also one of the main challenges in mobile sensor nodes. To overcome these problems, a new algorithm is proposed named as Improved Cluster Based Routing Protocol. This routing protocol follows the routing process similar to CBR-Mobile WSN. In addition, it reduces unnecessary broadcast and co...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is a key area of new investments and investigations. It promises a new domain on the way computers and humans interact with our environment. It serves a large number of applications that can be very critical to the extent of saving human life. Therefore, serving reliable and timely information is a key demand to any WSN. Quality of Service (QoS) in WSN discusses s...

The need for technology to assist in medical monitoring applications is becoming more necessary in society as the number of patients in hospital and clinics continues to grow. The demand on staff to monitor every individual consistently becomes necessary. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are now being used to facilitate this on-demand monitoring both at the patients home and in the hospital/clini...
