Side Trip Multipath Routing Protocol for Spatial Node Failure in Data-Gathering WSNs by Keisuke Fujita, Yumi Takaki, Chikara Ohta, Hisashi Tamaki

“…In severe disaster environments, data-gathering wireless sensor networks possibly suffer from spatial node failure due to external factors such as land slide and river overflow. In order to enhance tolerance to spatial node failure, this paper proposes not only a multipath data gathering protocol called “Side Trip (ST)” scheme but also an improved version of ST scheme called “Side Trip with Network Coding (STNC)” scheme. …”

Hollow-Fibre-Supported Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction for Determination of Atrazine and Triclosan in Aqueous Samples by Thabiso Letseka, Mosotho J. George

“…These include linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9975), intravial precision (%RSD ≤ 7.6), enrichment factors (127 and 142), limits of detection (0.0081 and 0.0169 µg/mL), and recovery from river water and sewerage (96–101%). The relatively high detection limits are attributed to the flame ionization detector which is less preferred than a mass spectrometer in trace analyses. …”
