Classification of Actual Sensor Network Deployments in Research Studies from 2013 to 2017
2020
Technologies, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Internet of Things (IoT), have captured the imagination of researchers, businesses, and general public, due to breakthroughs in embedded system development, sensing technologies, and ubiquitous connectivity in recent years. That resulted in the emergence of an enormous, difficult-to-navigate body of work related to WSN and IoT. In an ongoing research effort to highlight trends and developments in these technologies and to see whether they are actually deployed rather than subjects of theoretical research with presumed potential use cases, we gathered and codified a dataset of scientific publications from a five-year period from 2013 t…
Structure Monitoring with BIM and IoT: The Case Study of a Bridge Beam Model
2022
The diffusion of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a reference methodology, applied to the world of construction, leads to important changes in the design and the management of big constructions and infrastructures. However, although the BIM approach is necessary for managing the entire life cycle of a construction, today, this methodology is still rarely adopted beyond the design phase. This represents a major flaw because the management of every phase of the life cycle of buildings needs accurate preliminary planning. Certainly, one of the most complex and important phases of the life cycle of a construction is the monitoring phase, which represents a fundamental aspect for the main…
Demo abstract: Cross-technology TDMA synchronization using energy pattern beacons
2017
When different technologies use the same frequency bands in close proximity, the resulting interference typically results in performance degradation. Coexistence methods exist, but these are often technology specific and require technology specific interference detection methods. To remove the root cause of the performance degradation, devices should be able to negotiate medium access even when using different technologies. To this end, an architecture that allows cross-technology medium access by means of a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheme was devised. In order to achieve cross-technology synchronization, which is required for the TDMA solution, an energy pattern beacon is trans…
Desarrollo y análisis de sensores inalámbricos y sistemas asociados de IoT
2023
En los últimos años, la tecnología del Internet de las cosas (IoT) se ha vuelto cada vez más importante. Al ofrecer un medio para conectar dispositivos y establecer conexiones en tiempo real, el IoT ha facilitado el monitoreo y la gestión de entidades tangibles, como electrodomésticos, vehículos y edificios. Típicamente, un sistema IoT incorpora numerosos dispositivos que se comunican entre sí a través de gateways y servidores en la nube que alojan aplicaciones web y móviles. Los usuarios finales pueden interactuar sin problemas con sus dispositivos IoT, lo que les otorga una mayor accesibilidad y conveniencia. Dado su capacidad para proporcionar control y automatización en tiempo real, el …
LoRaWAN datu pārraides tīkla veiktspējas novērtējums Rīgas pilsētā un tās apkaimē
2018
Zemas enerģijas patēriņa, plaša pārklājuma datu pārraides tehnoloģijas (LPWAN) pēdējo gadu laikā arvien vairāk tiek izmantotas dažādu tautsaimniecības problēmu risināšanai. Paralēli noris aktīvi šo tehnoloģiju pētījumi un attīstība, kā arī meklēti praktiski tehnoloģiju pielietojumi lietu interneta (Internet of Things jeb IoT) vidē. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt zemas enerģijas patēriņa, liela pārklājuma bezvadu datu pārraides tehnoloģijas un to realizāciju ar LoRaWAN tehnoloģijas palīdzību. Papildu teorētiskajiem pētījumiem, darba mērķis ir praktiski pārbaudīt, vai LoRaWAN datu pārraides pārklājums atbilst dokumentācijā aprakstītajam, ka pilsētā tas var sasniegt līdz pat 8 km distanci. Darba prak…
Radiation effects on optical frequency domain reflectometry fiber-based sensor
2015
International audience; We investigate the radiation effects on germanosilicate optical fiber acting as the sensing element of optical frequency domain reflectometry devices. Thanks to a new setup permitting to control temperature during irradiation, we evaluate the changes induced by 10 keV x rays on their Rayleigh response up to 1 MGy in a temperature range from −40°C up to 75°C. Irradiation at fixed temperature points out that its measure is reliable during both irradiation and the recovery process. Mixed temperature and radiation measurements show that changing irradiation temperature leads to an error in distributed measurements that depends on the calibration procedure. These results …

Reversible Colorimetric Probes for Mercury Sensing
2005
The selectivity and sensitivity of two colorimetric sensors based on the ruthenium complexes N719 [bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate)ruthenium(II) bis(tetrabutylammonium) bis(thiocyanate)] and N749 [(2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine-4,4',4' '-tricarboxylate)ruthenium(II) tris(tetrabutylammonium) tris(isothiocyanate)] are described. It was found that mercury ions coordinate reversibly to the sulfur atom of the dyes' NCS groups. This interaction induces a color change in the dyes at submicromolar concentrations of mercury. Furthermore, the color change of these dyes is selective for mercury(II) when compared with other ions such as lead(II), cadmium(II), zinc(II), or iron(II). The detection limit…
Stimulation of Fe-S cluster insertion into apoFNR by Escherichia coli glutaredoxins 1, 2 and 3 in vitro.
2004
Abstract The oxygen sensor fumarate nitrate reductase regu-lator (FNR) of Escherichia coli contains in the active (anaerobic)state a [4Fe–4S] 2þ cluster which is lost after exposure to O 2 .Inaerobically prepared apoFNR, or in FNR obtained by treatmentof [4Fe–4S] FNR with O 2 in vitro, intramolecular cysteinedisulfides are found, including the cysteine residues which serveas ligands for the Fe–S cluster. It is shown here that thereconstitution of [4Fe–4S] FNR from this form of aerobicapoFNR was preceded by a long lag phase when glutathione wasused as the reducing agent. Addition of E. coli glutaredoxins(Grx) 1, 2 or 3 decreased the lag phase greatly and stimulatedthe reconstitution rate slig…
