IEEE 802.15.4 based topology control and routing for mobile Sink wireless sensor networks by TONG Jie1, YANG Fan2, QIAN De-pei1

“…Based on the standard of IEEE 802.15.4b,a cross-layer protocol design combining cluster-tree formatting and mobile routing was proposed for query-driven wireless sensor networks with mobile Sink（s）.Firstly,energy consumption,network connectivity,load balancing and sub-tree depth were employed as the evaluation factors.A topology evaluation function under a multi-objective optimization model was defined to construct the stable and optimal underlying clus-ter-tree network.Secondly,the beacon frame scheduling based distributed sleep synchronization algorithm in IEEE 802.15.4 MAC was improved,which was used to maintain the network synchronization and topology correction on low duty-cycle.Thirdly,the parent-child relationships established during the topology formatting according to "first beacon","best links","top level" rules were exploited to build the two-way routing paths between mobile Sink（s） and the nodes within N-Hop range.Eventually,the topology control schemes at MAC layer and the query routing approach at network layer were completely implemented in the protocol stack of TinyOS.The experimental results show that the evaluation function can effectively reflect the quality of network formatting.Jointed with the sleep synchronization mechanism un-der the topology generated using the rule of "best links",the N-Hop reactive routing exhibits high energy-efficiency.…”

Agomelatine Efficacy in the Night Eating Syndrome by Walter Milano, Michele De Rosa, Luca Milano, Anna Capasso

“…This paper describes a case report of an NES patient treated with agomelatine, an antidepressant analogue of melatonin, which acts by improving not only the mood but also by regulating sleep cycles and appetite. After three months of observation, the use of Agomelatine not only improved the mood of our NES patient (assessed in the HAM-D scores) but it was also able to reduce the night eating questionnaire, by both reducing the number of nocturnal awakenings with food intake, the time of snoring, the minutes of movement during night sleep (assessed at polysomnography), and the weight (−5.5 kg) and optimizing blood glucose and lipid profile. …”
