FFRP: Dynamic Firefly Mating Optimization Inspired Energy Efficient Routing Protocol for Internet of Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

IEEE Access, 2020
Energy-efficient and reliable data gathering using highly stable links in underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) is challenging because of time and location-dependent communication characteristics of the acoustic channel. In this paper, we propose a

Cooperative Position Aware Mobility Pattern of AUVs for Avoiding Void Zones in Underwater WSNs

Sensors, 2017
In this paper, we propose two schemes; position-aware mobility pattern (PAMP) and cooperative PAMP (Co PAMP). The first one is an optimization scheme that avoids void hole occurrence and minimizes the uncertainty in the position estimation of glider’s ...

Photovoltaic self-consumption regulation in Spain: Profitability analysis and alternative regulation schemes

Energy Policy, 2017
Abstract Having achieved grid parity, photovoltaic (PV) self-consumption will play a key role in the transition to a low-carbon energy system. Spain, whilst among the EU countries with highest solar irradiation, has recently passed one of the most restrictive self-consumption regulations.

Optimal PV-EV sizing at solar powered workplace charging stations with smart charging schemes considering self-consumption and self-sufficiency balance

Applied Energy, 2022
Abstract The integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems and electric vehicles (EVs) in the built environment, including at workplaces, has increased significantly in the recent decade and has posed new technical challenges for the power system, such as increased peak loads and component overloading.

Hybrid BS-Cooperative Power Management Scheme with Self-Organized Sleep Mode in Virtual Cell-Based Femto Networks

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2012
A large-scale deployment of femtocell BSs (FBSs) causes substantial energy consumption. This paper proposes a hybrid BS-cooperative power management (HBCPM) scheme with self-organized sleep mode in virtual cell-based femto networks. Firstly, HBCPM builds

The role of religiosity in self-concept and ethical consumption

, 2015
The importance of religiosity and the self is recognised from the consume ethics literature. Little attention has been paid to the notion of self in relation to religiosity and ethical behaviour. This paper aims to explore the role of religiosity through
