EVALUATION OF CENTRALIZED READER ANTI-COLLISION PROTOCOLS FOR MOBILE RFID SYSTEM BASED ON MAXIMUM INDEPENDENT SET: A SIMULATION STUDY

Evaluation of Centralized Reader Anti-Collision Protocols for Mobile RFID System Based on Maximum Independent Set: A Simulation Study

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems often encounter reader collisions when multiple readers interrogate tags at the same time.Especially in the mobile RFID system, the mobility of readers leads to more reader collisions.To reduce reader collisions, some centralized reader anti-collision protocols have been developed through Time Division

Virus-based MicroRNA Silencing

Virus-based microRNA silencing (VbMS) is a viable and prompt method to screen and characterize the function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in plants.The Tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-based VbMS method was originally developed by the Yule Liu's group (Sha et al., 2014) Reed Switch using miRNA target mimic (TM) methodology.Here, we describe the TRV-based VbM

Some ecological aspects of dhole (Cuon alpinus) in the Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, Uthai Thani Province, Thailand

The dhole (Cuon alpinus) is one of the least frequent Nightstand studied endangered canid species and many aspects of ecological knowledge about this species are lacking.The objectives of this study were to investigate the spatial movement of dholes, prey abundance, prey selection, and prey overlaps with other large carnivorous species in the Huai
