The applications of WSN can be quiet numerous. In applications like battlefield monitoring, grid power generation, health systems, sensors are deployed on large scale. During such deployment, energy efficiency must be proficient, which requires clustering, in the WSN architecture. Clustering architecture requires maintenance of sensor nodes due to alfunctioning of sensor which becomes depleted of energy. As some nodes leaves and some are being replaced, congestion is introduced in the network due the limited processing capability of memory, computations, and bandwidth condition. This paper proposes one of the energy efficient clustering techniques (HAEEW), using asynchronous data transfer (ADT), which has been modeled from data transfer technique (EEHCR), and using hierarchical clustering. Our model uses synchronization in clock time queries in one and each iterations round time, to determine cluster head, and head-set member formation, using Ad hoc on-demand energy aware routing protocols (AOERP) to make decision. In each iteration, the head-set members receives message request from neighboring nodes to confirm their average distance estimation, in which to transmit aggregated data to the base station. In a sensor deployment, which is aimed for data collection, control and management of sensor nodes, play a vital role, where nodes can be adjusted to boost energy in the network life time. We used matlab for simulations analysis of our result.

This report on solar neutrino experiments will include a summary of the results of the chlorine detector, and an account of our plans to build a gallium solar neutrino experiment. In addition to discussing the experimental side of the solar neutrino problem I would like to relate our experiences during the last 15 years in working in the Homestake Gold Mine. In the course of our work at Homestake a number of independent groups have asked to use our facilities and, because of the cooperative and helpful attitude of the Mine management, these experimentalists could be easily accommodated. A brief account of these experiences may be useful for the main business of this workshop, building large particle detectors for observing nucleon decay, and the related question of the need for a national underground physics facility.

Wave energy is an important renewable energy source. Previous studies of wave energy conversion (WEC) have focused on the maximum power take-off (PTO) techniques of a single machine. However, there is a lack of research on the energy and power quality of wave farm systems. Owing to the pulsating nature of ocean waves and popular PTO devices, the generated electrical power suffers from severe fluctuations. Existing solutions require extra energy storage and overrated power converters for wave power integration. In this study, we developed a master-slave wave farm system with rotor inertia energy storage; this system delivers self-smoothed power output to the grid and reduces the number of converters. Two control methods based on the moving average filter (MAF) and energy filter (EF) are proposed to smooth the output power of wave farms. RTDS simulations show that the proposed systems and control methods facilitate simple and smooth grid integration of wave energy.

Eight Argonne Premium Coal Samples (APCS) were weathered in air and the structural and chemical changes that upon swelling with toluene and pyridine were, examined by an EPR spin probe method developed in this laboratory. Under mild oxidation conditions and swelling with toluene large structural changes were observed for lignite (Beulah-Zap) which suggested the collapse of the coal structure. This did not occur for higher rank coal. Upon oxidation and swelling with toluene and pyridine an increase occurred in the amino substituted spin probe concentration for coals with the carbon percent above 80%. A maximum was found for the creation of 5 {Angstrom} diameter pores upon swelling with pyridine at 85% C.

The Department of Physics, in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Department of Earth Sciences, is [proposing to create a program in Engineering Technology. The proposed B.S. Engineering Technology degree will target students who want to pursue engineering and are looking for a school that offers a dedicated program. We believe the specializations in Sustainable Energy, Advanced Manufacturing and Semiconductor Materials will appeal to students interested in creating a more sustainable world and address the need for a technologically trained workforce in Upstate New York. Upon graduation of the inaugural class, accreitation for the program will be sought from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). ; Monier, Eric Undergraduate Curriculum and Policies
