Abstract Advanced communication technology is the enabling factor for distributed sensing and control in smart grid. The performance of communication has a significant effect on the performance of the controllers that manage a power system. This effect is more profound when transient level behavior and critical applications are concerned. In these cases, an important issue is to design contro…
Emerging nanoscale applications, e.g., nanoscale cooperative intelligent drug delivery or multiple intra-body nanosensors for health monitoring, mandate enabling nanomachines to communicate with each other, and hence, form nanonetworks to overcome the limitations of a single nanomachine. Indeed, the human body is a massive nanoscale molecular communications network composed of billions of inter…
Abstract Power systems have been dramatically changing with cutting-edge information technologies. The new power system infrastructure has evolved and has been studied by many institutes and companies. Future power systems are bound up quietly with customer-side activities such as realtime pricing and distributed generators (DGs). To deploy those services on the power system, independent and …
Although farmers’ markets offer healthy foods for purchase, many lack the equipment necessary to process convenient, card-based transactions. We assessed the impact of providing wireless terminals to 5 markets on overall sales and redemption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Sales increased significantly at 4 of the 5 markets after implementation of the terminals,…
