present a set of experiences from a four month long deployment on a remote island. We analyze the environmental and node health data to evaluate system performance. The close integration of WSNs with their environment provides environmental data at densities previously impossible. We show that the sensor

The U.S. Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIAs) are nine sovereign Federal territories that straddle the equator in the central Pacific. All are single reef ecosystems that are a part of a large central Pacific biogeographic and geological province consisting mostly of ancient low reef islands

Maldives consists of a group of 1190 islands. With a population of only 26000 and 200 inhabited islands, more than 90 % of the islands consist of less than 1500 people. The low population density in the islands limits the infrastructure developments mainly due to the lack of economies of scale

A case of a historical sociology prespective in Karimunjawa islands

Communities in the more remote parts of areas which themselves are considered to be peripheral may feel doubly isolated. Access to information can help reduce negative effects of living and working in such communities, but, in turn, this peripherality creates barriers to information access

Access to information can help reduce negative effects of living and working in remote rural areas, but, in turn, this peripherality creates barriers to information access. Mazie and Ghelfi i see information as core for success in rural economic development for communities and individuals as well

evolutionary relationships in Montipora, a suite of molecular markers (mitochondrial: COI, CR, Cyt-B,16S, ATP6; nuclear: ATPsβ, ITS-2) were tested for polymorphism on samples collected from Hawaii and the Phoenix Islands. ATPsβ and the putative mitochondrial Control Region (CR) were selected for a broad survey

In the middle of the last century, plastics heralded a new era; by the 1980s, their legacy, marine litter, was reaching the most remote island shores Ability and cost of mass production of plastic items made them disposable and their versatility and durability made them indispensable. Two decades

Extensive measurements of aerosol optical and microphysical properties made at a remote island, Minicoy in southern Arabian Sea for the period (February 2006–March 2007) are used to char-acterize their temporal variability and Black Carbon (BC) mass mixing ratio. Large decrease in aerosol BC (from

Which five molecules would you take to a remote island? If you imagine yourself as a castaway on an island you might pick water, glucose, penicillin, and ethanol in combination with aspirin. However, as a scientist, you may ask yourself which molecules impressed you most by their chemical
