Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are an ad hoc network consisting of miniaturized autonomous sensors that communicate with each other over a radio link. In this paper, the authors' contribution is a cross-layer approach. To achieve this approach, the authors proposed in the first part an improvement of LEACH algorithm named WEIGHTED_LEACH. This…

Green internet of things is important to achieve atmospheric decarbonisation, it is crucial to implement procedures and practices that prioritise resource conservation and environmental protection. However, the growing use of internet of things devices poses a challenge due to their high-energy requirements for data reception and transmission…

Understanding the affordances that networked platforms offer is a good place to start rethinking our notions of learning. The article discusses how social connectivity has changed, arguing that networking and networks have become foregrounded in how we perceive and experience our (digital) social worlds. Our aim is to understand the nature of…

Any academic from an overrepresented group who advocates more "diversity" is directly contributing to the lack of "diversity" by remaining in his position. Assuming the number of jobs is relatively fixed, such an individual is effectively saying, "I want the percentage of academics who have the same demographic…

This article provides an account of the making of KBLab, the data lab at the National Library of Sweden (KB). The first part discusses the work involved in establishing a lab as both a physical and a digital site for researchers to use digital collections at previously unimaginable scales. The second part explains how the lab has deployed the…

The research is focused on a comprehensive analysis of digitalization as a prerequisite for higher education modernization. The authors of this article consider the digital divide as a component of information inequality, which has a technological nature and presupposes unequal opportunities for access, use, and production of information and…

While computational biology and bioinformatics became an inherent part of most life science degrees, it remains challenging to encourage students to employ these diverse skills in a practical research context. In this education paper, we present a method to enable students to acquire hands-on skills by the data-driven study of complex biomolecular…
