A wireless sensor node is self-assured by a processor, local memory, sensors, radio, battery and a base station accountable for receiving and processing data collected by the nodes. They carry out cooperative activities due to limited resources and nowadays, the applications of these networks...

The amount of water evaporated from the soil surface and lost through transpiration of the crop is collectively called evapotranspiration. With drip irrigation, evaporation from the soil is minimized, particularly in plastic mulch production systems, leaving crop transpiration as the main...

Rather than organize as traditional firms, many of today’s companies organize as platforms that sit at the nexus of multiple exchange and production relationships. This chapter considers a most basic question of organization in platform contexts: the choice of boundaries. Herein, I investigate...

The study's objective is to understand what regulatory settings governments may adopt to scale up electrification through private development of mini grids, drawing on the experience of these six jurisdictions; provide technical assistance to four countries that want to further develop their...

Logistics, Wireless Sensor Networks, Applications, Modeling. - Logistics has experienced a long time of developments and improvements based on the advanced vehicle technologies, transportation systems, traffic network extension and logistics processes. In the last decades, the complexity has...

In this research, we examine a novel mechanism of interorganizational relationship dissolution: incoherence in a partner’s behavior. We propose that the discrepancy between an exchange partner’s opportunistic behavior and the focal firm’s expectations may create a state of incoherence and...

A vast amount of literature and research work exists on Wireless Sensor Networks and the issues concerning them. In this paper, we have conducted an exploratory study on the sensor networks to begin with and the various issues and challenges faced in setting up and maintaining sensor networks....
