Study on multi-channel reservation based MAC protocol for sensor networks by ZHANG De-sheng1, LI Jin-bao1, GUO Long-jiang1

“…Aiming at triple hidden terminal problems in wireless sensor networks,an adaptive duty cycle based multi-channel MAC protocol was proposed,called MCR.MCR efficiently handled triple hidden terminal problems with multiple channel reservation.By minimizing the lower bound of average times of channel switching in MCR,the optimal duty cycle in theoretical analysis was obtained.To investigate values of multiple channel reservation and dynamic duty cycling in MCR,extensive simulation and real testbed experiments were conducted.The results show that compared with other protocols,when the number of channels is larger or loads are heavy,M-cube improves throughput and energy effi-ciency significantly.…”

Feasibility of implementing family-integrated newborn care for hospitalised preterm and low birthweight infants in newborn care units of Ethiopia: a mixed-methods design by Hege Langli Ersdal, Araya Abrha Medhanyie, Damen Haile Mariam, Siren Rettedal, Znabu Hadush Kahsay

“…Objective To evaluate the feasibility of implementing family-integrated newborn care (FINC) for hospitalised preterm and low birthweight infants in Ethiopia. Despite the WHO’s call for family engagement in newborn care, evidence of the feasibility of implementation remains scarce.Design An observational feasibility study employing a mixed-methods design comprising a quantitative cross-sectional survey among 157 healthcare providers (HCPs) and a qualitative Participatory Rural Appraisal.Setting The study was conducted in 30 neonatal care units (NCUs) of hospitals in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia.Participants HCPs who were on duty in NCUs during the data collection period were included in the study.Analysis Descriptive statistics were obtained for the quantitative data using STATA V.16, while qualitative data were coded and analysed using a framework analysis approach with qualitative data analysis software (Atlas.ti V.9).Results In total, 157 HCPs were enrolled with a mean (SD) age of 32 (±6.8) years. …”
