Span of Control in Teamwork and Organization Structure by Katarina Remenova, Zuzana Skorkova, Nadezda Jankelova

“…The results of non-parametric testing (Chi-Square Test of Independence) and rates of association between variables (using Cramér’s V and Phi coefficient and for ordinal variables, Kendall’s tau-b, GoodmanKruskal’s Gamma, Kendall’s tau-c and Somers’ d) indicate that the team size is not related to the level of management, which does not confirm the assumption that the largest teams work at the lowest management level and vice versa, that the team leader at the top level is in charge of the smallest number of people. …”

A new method for routing protocols using hybrid fuzzy clustering in UWSNs by Xiaoju Wang, Bin Meng, Xuexu Yuan, Junwei Zhao

“…Besides, the new scheme improved energy variance by 40% at nodes to prolong the network lifetime and maintain a higher throughput in conditions of variable network load. This fuzzy clustering technique stands apart because it tries to overcome UWSN-specific challenges using adaptive data aggregation along with multistep communication and hence is more resistant and energy-efficient compared to the conventional protocols.…”
