The design of an acquisitional query processor for sensor networks
- In SIGMOD
, 2003
"... We discuss the design of an acquisitional query processor for data collection in sensor networks. Acquisitional issues are those that pertain to where, when, and how often data is physically acquired (sampled) and delivered to query processing operators. By focusing on the locations and costs of acq ..."

Location-aided routing (LAR) in mobile ad hoc networks, in:
- Proc. of MOBICOM
, 1998
"... A mobile ad hoc network consists of wireless hosts that may move often. Movement of hosts results in a change in routes, requiring some mechanism for determining new routes. Several routing protocols have already been proposed for ad hoc networks. This paper suggests an approach to utilize location ..."

, 1999
"... Abstract. Methods for voting classification algorithms, such as Bagging and AdaBoost, have been shown to be very successful in improving the accuracy of certain classifiers for artificial and real-world datasets. We review these algorithms and describe a large empirical study comparing several vari ..."

We compare the mean-squared error of voting methods to non-voting methods and show that the voting methods lead to large and significant reductions in the mean-squared errors. Practical problems that arise in implementing boosting
Power-Aware Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
, 1998
"... In this paper we present a case for using new power-aware metrics for determining routes in wireless ad hoc networks. We present five different metrics based on battery power consumption at nodes. We show that using these metrics in a shortest-cost routing algorithm reduces the cost/packet of rout ..."

/packet of routing packets by 5-30% over shortest-hop routing (this cost reduction is on top of a 40-70% reduction in energy consumption obtained by using PAMAS, our MAC layer protocol). Furthermore, using these new metrics ensures that the mean time to node failure is increased significantly. An interesting
Energy-efficient communication protocol for wireless microsensor networks

The Case for Energy-Proportional Computing
"... Energy-proportional designs would enable large energy savings in servers, potentially doubling their efficiency in real-life use. Achieving energy proportionality will require significant improvements in the energy usage profile of every system component, particularly the memory and disk subsystems. ..."

Moreover, because of the large amount of system and data redundancy possible, data becomes disassociated from specific
Significant reduction in chloroquine bioavailablity following coadministration with the Sudanese beverages Aradaib, Karkadi and

Chloroquine bioavailability in healthy males was examined following oral co-administration of 600 mg with three common Sudanese beverages, Aradaib (Tamar-indus indicd), Karkadi {Hibiscus sabdarifa) and Lemon (Citrus limetta) and drinking water.
