The data collected through questionnaire and compiled revealed that fair literacy level exists among the tribes community. Agriculture is the main occupation of the people in the villages surveyed for the study. Measures

Operational risk assessment of chemical industries by exploiting accident databases

Radio power management is of paramount concern in wireless sensor networks that must achieve long lifetimes on scarce amounts of energy. While a multitude of power management protocols have been proposed in the past, the lack of system support for flexibly integrating them with a diverse set of applications and network platforms has made them difficult to use. Instead of proposing yet another power management protocol, this thesis focuses on providing link layer support towards realizing a Unified Power Management Architecture (UPMA) for flexible radio power management in wireless sensor networks. In contrast to the monolithic approaches adopted by existing power management solutions, we provide (1) a set of standard interfaces that allow different power management protocols existing at the link layer to be easily implemented on top of common MAC level functionality, (2) an architectural framework for enabling these protocols to be easily swapped in and out depending on the needs of the applications that require them, and (3) a mechanism for coordinating the existence of multiple applications, each of which may have...

selections are made. There is a conflict between selecting the user set that can get the most immediate data through and helping users with poor average rates. The Proportional Fair Sharing method (PFS) deals with such conflicts. In [5, 6] the convergence and basic qualitative properties were analyzed

For instance, there must be a concept path from the lecture notes page to the trees page to create the lecture notes on trees concept. The concept paths must be relatively few (certainly much fewer than the overall number of paths in the WWW

First attempts to alleviate this problem by equipping TCP with increased aggressiveness have shown the disadvantage uf pnor fairness with the ubiquitous standard TCP-Reno, or in some cases, even amang two connections running over the same path.

The ever-increasing number of publications in the behavioral sciences has yielded a large set of behavioral theories, constructs and their relationships. In this study, we propose a novel method to discover this data set through construct-level citations. In behavioral science, the reuse

We find that while the ad-hoc network model has significantly better spatial reuse characteristics, the improved spatial reuse does not translate into better throughput
