A Collision Avoidance MAC Protocol with Power Control for Adaptive Clustering Underwater Sensor Networks by Libin Xue, Hong Lei, Rongxin Zhu

“…Then, based on the clustering network, according to the channel correlation distance measurement between nodes and the communication range of the cluster head (CH), the transmit power in clusters is controlled to reduce the lifetime of the network based on the cumulative reduction in node power consumption. Finally, the cluster structure in each cluster is used to schedule the transmission of member nodes in the cluster, and at the same time, the energy consumption of nodes is reduced while multi-node collision-free transmission is realized. …”

In-betweeness: the (dis)connection between here and there. The case of Indian student-migrants in Australia by Michiel Baas

“…As a result this paper will be able to shed light on what – in the Indian case - the (de)coupling of the local and global means, both theoretically and in practice. I will finally make a case against hegemonic ideas of integration which still lean heavily on neoliberal push-and-pull migration models and argue that in order to understand current day migration we need to be open to the possibility that many migrants do not so much seek to integrate themselves in the local but much more into the global.…”

Relativistic Kappa Distribution Effects on Dust Charging in Critical Areas of Dusty Plasma by Masoud Taherimoghadam, Taghi Mirzaye

“…It indicates that the electrical potential of the dust grain is much greater affected by the degree of electron nonextensive relative to the nonextensive degree of ion. Finally, it indicates when the dust grain density is high; the relativistic effects due of increasing temperature play a more prominent role in the dust charging process, while at low dust grain density; the relativistic effects because of changing the energy of the rest mass play a more prominent role.…”

Existence of an Intermediate Metallic Phase at the SDW-CDW Crossover Region in the One-Dimensional Holstein-Hubbard Model at Half-Filling by Ashok Chatterjee

“…We have also observed that if the anharmonicity of the phonons is taken into account, this metallic phase widens and the polarons become more mobile, which is a more favorable situation from the point of view of superconductivity. We shall finally show that an improved variational calculation widens the metallic phase and makes the polarons more mobile, which reconfirms the existence of the intermediate metallic phase at the SDW-CDW crossover region.…”
