WSN clustering routing algorithm based on Cuckoo Search algorithm optimized K-means by Kailei ZHU, Aijing SUN

“…In order to extend the lifetime of wireless sensor network (WSN), a clustering routing algorithm for WSN based on Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm optimized K-means was presented.In the clustering stage, the initial cluster centers were selected by CS algorithm, which make the clustering results of the K-means algorithm more uniform to balance node energy consumption.The remaining energy of the node, the distance from the center of the cluster were comprehensively considered in the cluster election, and the weight according to the remaining energy of the node was dynamically adjusted.In the data communication stage, in order to further balance the load of the cluster head, the remaining energy of the relay node and its load, and the cluster head routing energy consumption were comprehensively considered, CS algorithm was combined to plan routing for the cluster head.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is better than LEACH-K, LEACH-improve and DTK-means in terms of energy consumption balance.With the death of the first node as the life cycle of the network, the network lifespan was increased by 173%, 21%, and 6% respectively.The proposed algorithm effectively extending the network life cycle.…”

A hash-neighborhood-search-network-coding based opportunistic relay retransmission approach by Pengfei SHAO, Yanwei ZHAO, Zhaoxi FANG

“…Simulation results show that this novel approach can effectively reduce the number of retransmissions to improve the transmission efficiency with respect to the existing algorithms，especially when one or more of the receiving nodes are interfered and the quality of the channel between receiving nodes and source node continues to decline，this approach can achieve a high retransmission gain.…”

Unmanned aerial vehicle enabled communication technologies and applications for Internet of things by Yalin LIU, Hongning DAI, Qubeijian WANG

“…The Internet of things (IoT) is designed to provide the wide coverage and the massive connectivity service for“things” node,and the collected “things” data can provide support for the intelligent decision-making at the application layer.However,due to the fixed deployment of the access point of the “things” node,the topology of the IoT network is not flexible,consequently making it difficult to dynamically cover the IoT node or regions with high mobility.In addition,the current IoT communication technology suffers from the remote blind area,which makes it impossible for a large number of “things” node to connect to establish the “network” in some geologically-complexed regions.UAV has high mobility,low cost and flexible deployment,which is suitable to solve the above issues.Studying the communication technology of UAV assisted IoT,help the IoT to extend the existing network coverage,enhance the flexibility of the IoT topology and provide more diverse IoT service.…”

Outcomes of surgical treatment of thyroid disease in children by Olga S. Rogova, Lubov N. Samsonovа, Goar F. Okminyan, Elena V. Kiseleva, Oleg Yu. Latyshev, Elvira P. Kasatkina, Mikhail I. Pykov, Aleksey B. Okulov, Kirill K. Mirakov

“…Adverse outcomes (disease recurrence, postoperative hypothyroidism) were observed equally often after hemithyrodectomy and node enucleation. But the risk of recurrence of nodular goiter was significantly more common in children after node enucleation than after hemithyroidectomy and postsurgical hypothyroidism was more common in children with nodular goiter after hemithyrodectomy than after node enucleation. …”

Local Community Detection Algorithm Based on Minimal Cluster by Yong Zhou, Guibin Sun, Yan Xing, Ranran Zhou, Zhixiao Wang

“…Most of the local community detection algorithms begin from one node. The agglomeration ability of a single node must be less than multiple nodes, so the beginning of the community extension of the algorithm in this paper is no longer from the initial node only but from a node cluster containing this initial node and nodes in the cluster are relatively densely connected with each other. …”
