Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks: application on Fire Detection Abstract: this paper is about fire detection in building using a modified APTEEN routing protocol. Here we design a system called iFireControl which is a smart detection system for buildings, which is more water efficient than many current systems, while keeping its robustness. introduction A Wireless Sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions,

these marked differences (Acemoglu 2003). A substantial amount of research on wage inequality has examined the forces that may shift the relative demand for skills, such as changing trade patterns and skill-biased technical change. However, since developed economies operate in the same global environment, with integrated trade and equal access to technology, *Winfried Koeniger is Senior Research Associate at IZA, University of Bonn; Marco Leonardi is Assistant

Task 2 Supply Chain Western Governor University A1. Brand Design Decision Traveler Brand The reason for creating a computer for the Traveler is to provide those who are business executives with a device which can be taken on business trips and have all the amenities used in an office computer but compact. The name chosen for this creation is the Phoenix GT which is an analogy to a sports car that has a GT engine. When consumer see or hear GT, they think fast, sleek, and finely tuned machines

study is in the heart of this approach. It has as an objective, the study of solutions that meet the diverse needs. To do this, I had some operational research to minimize the process of delivery of containers to customers. Then, I implemented a simulation of the problem, with Siman-Arena software, allowing the validation of the theoretical results. Finally, an application in the field was conducted. Acknowledgements My work would not have succeeded without the support and encouragement

Running head: Cloud Seeding Negligibility of Cloud Seeding Don Jackson Angelo State University November 13, 2012 Cloud Seeding How is there a water shortage, if there is no water leaving earth? Foremost, accessible freshwater accounts for a very small amount of the earth's water. Ninety-seven percent of all water is salt water and most of the remaining three percent is locked in polar ice caps, glaciers, and deep underground aquifers (McCaffrey, 2000). The problems arising from a shortage

consequently reduced spectrum efficiency. In this paper we compare the degree of performance enhancement when a cooperative mode is used to share information about the channel versus when standalone decisions are taken about the state of the channel. Simulation results indicate superior performance of the cooperative mode in terms of the number of observed hidden nodes and probabilities of detection and false alarm.

of transactions took long and was never accurate. The paper ledgers, handwritten financial statements, and spreadsheets have been translated into computer systems for quick presentation of individual transactions into easily interpretable financial report (Half, 2012). Improved reporting is necessary for investors in the determination whether a company is an appropriate investment for growth opportunities. It also determines whether it has a potential to attain the status of a high value company in
