Introduction to Remote Sensing
The Creation of WSN-based GENESI
WSN-based systems for structural health monitoring could be the answer to the many dramatic events involving the collapse of public structures and private buildings. A system that is unavailable in today’s trend and that will be able to provide long…
Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory – Sensor design competition
The Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory (TAHMO) is organizing the TAHMO Sensor Design Competition among African Universities. The stations need a suitable sensor that measures climate variables. Therefore, the project is aimed at designing building and operating the 20,000 weather stations in…
Scientist Creates Chemical Sensors That Can Catch Drug-drivers
Scientist at the University of Oxford’s chemistry department have discovered an electrochemical sensors that can be used to detect the presence of drugs in saliva samples – or even measure how hot chillies are. According to an eminent scholar from…
Tutorial: Understanding TinyOS with WSN
TinyOS is an event-driven operating system for networked applications in wireless embedded systems, with a component-based architecture. It is based on the nesC programming language and its core components require only 400 bytes of memory (data and instruction). While TinyOS…
Wireless Sensor Network Nodes For Monitoring Natural Disasters
Natural disasters are escalating world wide due to many issues including climate change and perhaps the global warming. The losses due to these disasters are increasing at an alarming rate. Hence, it is would be valuable to detect the pre-cursors…
