ABSTRACT Wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a group of sensor nodes  that enables the monitoring of a variety of environmental information for various applications. In WSNs, it is very important to operate a sensor network for a long time to achieve the intended purpose. Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Protocol (LEACH) is a clustering technique that provides solution to the short life span of a network. It is a self-organized ...

ABSTRACT Power consumption is a key consideration in every Wireless Local Area Network Medium Access  Control  (WLAN  MAC)  algorithm  design  for  wireless  devices  and  extending battery life requires more efficient power management scheme considering that carrier sensing by WLAN modules, false wake-ups, collisions and number of contention rounds are major contributors to energy overhead. Researchers over the years have proposed and implemented various schemes using a low power wakeup radio ...

ABSTRACT Civic centre is a reference point of any city where it is located and has been designed to attract interest, hence symbolic expression is one of the paramount requirements in a civic centre design. Biomimicry is defined as imitation of life. It would go a long way in enhancing the architecture of civic centre design in Nigeria. The capabilities that are abounding in biomimicry architecture could be explored in ...
