Water Scorpions, Water Stick-Insects Ranatra spp. (Insecta: Hemiptera: Nepidae) by Taryn Griffith, Jennifer Gillett-Kaufman

“… Commonly mistaken for other objects due to its appearance, hence the common name water stick-insect, this slender reddish-brown insect is commonly found in fresh or brackish water (a mix of salt and fresh water) (Anufriyeva et al. 2016). They are ambush predators and will spend most of its time in the water waiting for prey. …”

Research progress of sensor-cloud security by Tian WANG, Yang LI, Weijia JIA, Guojun WANG, Shaoliang PENG

“…Through consulting lots of domestic and international literatures about sensor-cloud security,a series of security problems are found,such as reputation problem of service provider,the coupling problem of physical nodes,the leak of authority management,et al,which seriously hinders the further development of sensor-cloud.The secure problems occurring in sensor-cloud were analyzed,the current secure technologies were contrasted ,similarities and differences of various types solutions were discussed and summarized.After that,several future challenges of sensor-cloud security were concluded.Finally,a fog-based structure was proposed to solve the security problems,which would bring new ideas to the sensor-cloud security research.…”

A New Species of The Spider Genus Xysticus (Araneae: Thomisidae) From Arizona by J. H. Redner, C. D. Dondale

“…This is particularly true of the species in the large genus Xysticus, which has been twice revised continentally by Gertsch (1939, 1953) and treated in more regional works by Buckle and Redner (1964), Schick (1965), and Turnbull, et al. (1965). It seems probable that any additional new forms that will be discovered will be from remote parts of the continent or in sibling relationship with known species. …”

Minimum energy broadcasting algorithm in wireless sensor networks by TANG Yong, ZHOU Ming-tian

“…In order to adjust the transmission power of nodes for minimizing total energy consumption in wireless sensor networks,a new distributed algorithm called ERBOP（enhanced relative neighborhood graph broadcast oriented protocol） was proposed which was an improvement upon RBOP（relative neighborhood graph broadcast oriented protocol） pre-sented by Cartigny et al.In ERBOP,a sub-graph of relative neighborhood graph,which was a sparse connected graph and contains minimum spanning tree,was locally constructed by eliminating long edges.Moreover,1-dominating connected dominating set was constructed basing on the sub-graph,and only the dominating nodes participated in the broadcasting.The simulation results show that ERBOP conserves energy efficiently.…”
