This paper aims at demonstrating the energy self-sufficiency of a LoRaWAN-based sensor node for monitoring environmental parameters exploiting energy harvesting directly coming from the artificial light used in indoor horticulture.A portable polycrystalline silicon module is used to charge a Li-Po battery, employed as the power reserve of a wireles

Abstract Many species use chemical messengers to communicate a remarkable range of information.Mice appear to make particular use of chemical messengers, including effects on estrous cycling and initiation, pregnancy, aggression, stress and of course attraction.Behavioral studies have helped identify several candidate messengers, or pheromones, tha

Abstract Background Erythema induratum of Bazin (EIB) is a rare cutaneous manifestation of tuberculosis (TB) that frequently occurs in middle-aged women.The clinical manifestations of EIB can mimic various skin diseases, easily leading to misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis.We report a case of a 16-year-old Chinese girl who initially presented with EIB

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), transmitting an uncompressed image consumes more energy than a compressed image, and it is, therefore, the prime requirement to establish energy-aware compression methods to extend the life of the sensor node, and ultimately the network as a whole.This work suggests an image compression algorithm with a low degree
