A long-range wide area network (LoRaWAN) is one of the leading communication technologies for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.In order to fulfill the IoT-enabled application requirements, LoRaWAN employs an adaptive data rate (ADR) mechanism at both the end device (ED) and the network server (NS).NS-managed ADR aims to offer a reliable and ba
Evaluation of the corrosion inhibition potentials of green-tip forest lily (Clivia nobilis) leaves extract on mild steel in acid media
Plant extracts are excellent alternatives as corrosion inhibitors because of availability, low toxicity, biodegradability and low cost.In this study, corrosion tests were performed on mild steel to evaluate the effect of concentration of inhibitor, varying immersion period and temperature on the corrosion inhibition properties of Clivia nobilis lea
Bactericidal activity of 5 kinds of disinfectant on Vibrio cholera isolated from drinking water in Baqupa city.
Background: Cholera is an infectious, acute, diarrheal disease caused by bacterium Vibrio cholerae.About 3-5 million cases and over 100,000 deaths occur each year around the world.Vibrio cholera found in water or food sources that have been contaminated by feces from a person infected with cholera.Cholera is most likely to be found and spread in pl
Molybdenum and phosphorus interact to constrain asymbiotic nitrogen fixation in tropical forests.
Biological di-nitrogen fixation (N(2)) is the dominant natural source of new Bowl nitrogen to land ecosystems.Phosphorus (P) is thought to limit N(2) fixation in many tropical soils, yet both molybdenum (Mo) and P are crucial for the nitrogenase reaction (which catalyzes N(2) conversion to ammonia) and cell growth.We have limited understanding of h
