Distributed Service Discovery for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Service discovery in heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks is a challenging research objective, due to the inherent limitations of sensor nodes and their extensive and dense deployment. The protocols proposed for ad hoc networks are too heavy for sensor

Applications of Repeated Games in Wireless Networks: A Survey

open access: yes, 2015
A repeated game is an effective tool to model interactions and conflicts for players aiming to achieve their objectives in a long-term basis. Contrary to static noncooperative games that model an interaction among players in only one period, in repeated ...

TERRITORIALIZING POWER: The Politics of Presidential Projects in Antananarivo, Madagascar

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale infrastructure projects have become a defining feature of African urbanism. The study of the surge in infrastructure investments has largely been conducted against the backdrop of a purported ‘neoliberal global modernity’ in which cities compete to attract international investments.

Sensors versus surveyors: Comparing passive acoustic monitoring, camera trapping and observer‐based monitoring for terrestrial mammals

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Mammals play vital roles in ecological communities, but many are in rapid decline worldwide. Comprehensive monitoring of mammal populations is crucial for effective conservation, but large‐scale monitoring presents significant challenges. Remote sensing techniques such as passive acoustic monitoring offer viable and effective solutions for ...

Heroic Creation and the Socialist City: The Making of Villa El Salvador

open access: yesAntipode, EarlyView.
Abstract J.C. Mariátegui believed Indo‐American socialism would be neither calque nor copy, but heroic creation. This article explores an attempt at heroic creation in 1970s Peru: the Self‐Managed Urban Commune of Villa El Salvador (Villa). Putting Marxism in conversation with decolonial theory, I argue Villa shows universality and particularity can be
