An Energy-Efficien Slotted Sense Multiple Access Broadcast Protocol for Reliable Command Delivery in Dynamic Wireless Sensor Networks.

In industrial monitoring and control applications, a server often has to send a command to a node or group of nodes in wireless sensor networks. Flooding achieves high reliability of message delivery by allowing nodes to take the redundancy of receiving the identical message multiple times. However, nodes consume much energy due to this redundancy and the long duty cycle.

Emotional Stress State Detection Using Genetic Algorithm-Based Feature Selection on EEG Signals.

In recent years, stress analysis by using electro-encephalography (EEG) signals incorporating machine learning techniques has emerged as an important area of research. EEG signals are one of the most important means of indirectly measuring the state of the brain. The existing stress algorithms lack efficient feature selection techniques to improve the performance of a subsequent classifier.

A Reliable Health Indicator for Fault Prognosis of Bearings.

Estimation of the remaining useful life (RUL) of bearings is important to avoid abrupt shutdowns in rotary machines. An important task in RUL estimation is the construction of a suitable health indicator (HI) to infer the bearing condition. Conventional health indicators rely on features of the vibration acceleration signal and are predominantly calculated without considering its non-stationary nature.
