In this paper, we propose a non-localization routing protocol for underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs), namely, the triangle metric based multi-layered routing protocol (TM2RP). The main idea of the proposed TM2RP is to utilize supernodes along with depth information and residual energy to balance the energy consumption between sensors. Moreover, TM2RP is the first multi-layered and multi-metric pressure routing protocol that considers link quality with residual energy to improve the selection of next forwarding nodes with more reliable and energy-efficient links. The aqua-sim package based on the ns-2 simulator was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed TM2RP. The obtained results were compared to other similar methods such as depth based routing (DBR) and multi-layered routing protocol (MRP). Simulation results showed that the proposed protocol (TM2RP) obtained better outcomes in terms of energy consumption, network lifetime, packet delivery ratio, and end-to-end delay.

Wireless Sensor Networks are formed by tiny, self-contained, battery-powered computers with radio links that can sense their surroundings for events of interest and store and process the sensed data. Sensor nodes wirelessly communicate with each other to relay information to a central base station. Energy consumption is the most critical parameter in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).

Clustering-based routing techniques are key to significantly extending the lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, these approaches often do not address the common hotspot issue in multi-hop WSNs. To overcome this challenge and enhance network lifespan, this study presents FQ-UCR, a hybrid approach that merges unequal clustering based on fuzzy logic (FL) with routing optimized through Q-learning.

The rapid urbanization and population growth in major cities worldwide have led to a significant increase in medical waste generation, often containing infectious materials that require stringent handling protocols. To address the complexity of vehicle allocation and routing in this context, efficient planning methods are essential. This study introduces a comprehensive approach to the medical waste location-routing problem, incorporating multiple practical constraints such as vehicle capacity, hospital classification, infection risks, and time-window restrictions.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)-based Internet of Things (IoT) are made up of many tiny sensor nodes that are assigned specific tasks to sense, data process, communicate and control in predetermined areas. These networks are used in many different domains, including military operations, security, disaster relief, and habitat monitoring. However, there are various challenges and design issues in WSN like node deployment, routing, energy consumption, computational power, bandwidth, clustering, fault tolerance, coverage, connectivity and QoS.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, or retina/vitreous without systemic involvement. Induction with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) followed by consolidation with autologous stem cell transplant (auto-SCT) has become the standard treatment paradigm for most patients. However, limited data are available regarding the efficacy of a maintenance approach with HD-MTX.
