While the wireless sensor network has a strong point which does not have effect on whole activities of network even though neighboring sensor nods fail activities of some sensor nod or make some functions disappear by the characteristic of similar information detection, it has problems which is slowing down of wireless medium, transfer character with severe error, limited power supply, the impossibility of change by optional arrangement of sensor nods etc. This paper proposes PRML techniques which performs the fittest course searching process to reduce power consumption of entire nods while guarantees the scalability of network organizing sensor nods hierarchically. The proposed technique can scatter the load of cluster head by considering the connectivity with surplus energy of nod and reduce the frequency of communication among the nods. As a result of the analysis in comparison with LEACH-C and HEED technique, PRML technique get efficiency of average 6.4% in energy consuming respect of cluster head, efficiency of average 8% in entire energy consuming respect, and more efficiency of average 7.5% in other energy consuming distribution of network scalability than LEACH-C and HEED technique.

In this paper, we first propose a power-and-bandwidth efficient cooperative transmission protocol where a sensor node assists two others for their data transmission to a clusterhead in WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) using LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy). Then we derive its closed-form BER expression which Is also a general BER one for the decode-and-forward protocol (DF) and Prove that the proposed protocol performs as same as the conventional DF but obtains higher spectral efficiency. A variety of numerical results reveal the cooperation can save the network power up to 11dB over direct transmission at BER of $10^{-3}$.

This paper presents an efficient user-cooperation protocol associated with cyclic coding for WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) using LEACH(Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy). Since the proposed user-cooperation requires no CSI(Channel State Information) at both transmitter and receiver, and encoding and decoding of cyclic codes are simple, the processing complexity of sensor nodes is significantly reduced. Simulation results reveal such a combination can save the network energy up to 10dB over single-hop transmission at BER of $10^{-4}$.

The efficient node energy utilization is one of important performance factors in wireless sensor networks because sensor nodes operate with limited battery power. To extend the lifetime of the wireless sensor networks, maintaining balanced power consumption between sensor nodes is more important than reducing each energy consumption of the sensor node in the network. In this paper, we proposed a cluster formation algorithm to extend the lifetime of the networks and to maintain a balanced energy consumption of nodes. To obtain it, we add a tiny slot in a round frame, which enables to exchange the residual energy messages between the base station (BS). cluster heads, and nodes. The performance of the proposed protocol has been examined and evaluated with the NS 2 simulator. As a result of simulation, we have confirmed that our proposed algorithm show the better performance in terms of lifetime than LEACH. Consequently, our proposed protocol can effectively extend the network lifetime without other critical overhead and performance degradation.

무선 센서 네트워크는 제한된 에너지를 가지는 작은 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 한번 배치된 센서 노드들은 유지보수 및 새로운 에너지의 공급이 어렵다. 따라서 각 노드가 가지는 제한된 에너지를 얼마나 효율적으로 사용하느냐가 무선 센서 네트워크의 수명에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 에너지 효율성 향상을 위해 연구된 LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), LEACH-C(LEACH-Centralized), BCDCP(Base-station Controlled Dynamic Clustering Protocol)와 같은 클러스터링 기반의 계층적 라우팅 프로토콜들을 설명하고 그 문제점을 살펴본다. 그리고 그 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 방법으로 센서 필드의 노드와 싱크와의 거리를 고려한 새로운 클러스터링 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 클러스터링 기법에서 각 노드는 클러스터를 형성할 때 기존 방식에 비해 적은 역할을 수행함으로써 자신의 에너지를 보존할 수 있다.

Maintenance Access Hatches are used to ensure urban safety and aesthetics while facilitating the management of power lines, telecommunication lines, and gas pipes. Such facilities necessitate affordable and effective surveillance. In this paper, we propose a FiCHS (Fixed Cluster head centralized Hierarchical Static clustering) routing protocol that is suitable for underground maintenance hatches using WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) technology. FiCHS is compared with three other protocols, LEACH, LEACH-C, and a simplified LEACH, based on an ns-2 simulation. FiCHS was observed to exhibit the highest levels of power and data transfer efficiency.

Sensor node clustering is one of the most popular research topics to reduce the energy of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks. Previous researches, however, did not consider prediction effects of sensed environment information on TDMA scheduling of a cluster, resulting energy inefficiency. In this paper, we suggest an energy efficient cluster-based scheduling scheme that can be applied flexibly to many environment information systems. This scheme reflects the environment information obtained at the application layer to the MAC layer to set up the schedule of a cluster. The application layer information sets up the scheduling referring to the similarity of sensed data of cluster head. It determines the data transmission considering the result of similarity. We show that our scheme is more efficient than LEACH and LEACH-C in energy, which are popular clustering schemes, through simulation.

We studied a selective recovery condition of vanadium (V) from FALL (Fly Ash Leach Liquor) produced at a fossil fuel power station using heavy oil. By applying a spectroscopy to quantify the V in a sample, we identified a concentration range V interfered by on presence of metals such as Ni, Fe Also, the optimal vanadium precipitation rate according to the amount of 5.0M $NH_3$ loaded to the sample, solution pH and stirring time. As a result of the experiment, the maximum selective recovery ratio of V was achieved to be higher than 91.5% when the stirring duration was less than 1 minute at pH 7.0, and $25^{\circ}C$.

The LEACH does not use flooding method for data transmission and this makes low power consumption. So performance of the WSN is increased. On the other hand, QoS based algorithm which use restricted flooding method in WSN also achieves low power consuming rate by reducing the number of nodes that are participated in routing path selection. But when the data is delivered to the sink node, the LEACH choose a routing path which has a small hop count. And it leads that the performance of the entire network is worse. In the paper we propose a QoS based energy efficient clustering and routing algorithm in WSN. I classify the type of packet with two classes, based on the energy efficiency that is the most important issue in WSN. We provide the differentiated services according to the different type of packet. Simulation results evaluated by the NS-2 show that proposed algorithm extended the network lifetime 2.47 times at average. And each of the case in the class 1 and class 2 data packet, the throughput is improved 312% and 61% each.

The recovery of platinum group metals (PGMs) from the leach solution of spent auto-catalyst and the wash solution of the leach residue was investigated in the laboratory scale experiments by the cementation process using metal powders as the reductant. In this study, the effect of Al, Mg and Zn powders on the cementation process was particularly examined. Aluminum powder was selected as the most suitable reductant for the cementation of PGMs. At the cementation time of 10 minute under the aluminium stoichimetric amount of 19.3 and the reaction temperature of $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$, the recovery of platinum group metals from the leach solution of the spent auto-catalyst was found to be 99.3%, 99.4%, 90.2% for Pt, Pd and Rh, respectively. Under the same conditions with the aluminium stoichimetric amount of 45, the recovery of platinum group metals from the wash solution of the leach residue of spent catalyst was observed to be 97%, 97% and 90% for Pt, Pd and Rh, respectively. In addition, it was possible to upgrade the platinum group metals in the precipitates obtained from the cementation process by about 10% through the removal of metal impurities by the nitric acid leaching at ambient temperature.
