A resource optimization methodology is proposed for application in long range wide area networks (LoRaWANs). Using variable neighborhood search (VNS) and a minimum-cost spanning tree algorithm, it reduces the implementation and the maintenance costs of such low power networks. Performance evaluations …

This research investigates power optimization in Thread mesh wireless networks through an algorithmic approach, aiming to reduce overall power consumption while maintaining reliable network performance. Transmission power serves as a key parameter for achieving energy efficiency, and the study focuses …

This paper reports about preparatory work for future standardization that is carried out through an EU coordination and support action titled IM-SAFE. It focuses on applied digital technologies for monitoring and safety, including predictive maintenance of bridges and tunnels. Amidst the improved affordability …

ENGLISH: A vast and growing body of research has shown that crime tends to run in families. However, previous studies focused only on traditional crimes and research on familial risk factors for cyber offending is very scarce. To address this gap in the literature, the present study examines the criminal …

Waterschap Scheldestromen has a measurement device named Multiflexmeter. It uses the LoRaWAN technology to send the measurement data to the gateway. But sometimes, the Multiflexmeter can not connect to the gateway to send data because the line of sight is blocked. So the company is seeking a design of …

Intergenerational continuity in family behaviors partly results from socialization processes in the parental home. However, socialization is a multidimensional process. This article tests hypotheses about the relative importance of value transmission and modeling in explaining expectations of adolescence …

In het SCOUT (Sensoric data Catching Of highly Useful Terabytes) project wordt onderzocht hoe de verzamelde data verkregen door sensortechnologie in de tomatenteelt het beste verwerkt kunnen worden om een bruikbaar eindproduct op te leveren. In deze PowerPoint presentatie worden de belangrijke parameters …

Gear transmission systems are widely used in a variety of applications in many industries, including automobile, railway, wind energy and the shipping industry. A gearbox breakdown may result in catastrophic failures and significant economic losses. A gearbox fault can cause damage to a propulsion system …

At the biomedical department of the TUDelft a sensor node is designed[1]. This is an Autonomous Wireless Sensor Node(AWSN) with temperature monitoring, which is powered up wirelessly and have data transmission through backscattering. The aim of the project is to design a receiver for the AWSN and to …

Agent-based models (ABMs) are important tools for predicting infectious disease epidemics and for designing effective interventions. ABMs take into account individual differences, for instance in contact rate. The drawbacks of ABMs are high complexity and low performance. In this paper, we present a …
