UNDERWATER WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS: HOW DO ACOUSTIC PROPAGATION MODELS IMPACT THE PERFORMANCE OF HIGHER-LEVEL PROTOCOLS?

Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks: How Do Acoustic Propagation Models Impact the Performance of Higher-Level Protocols?

Several Medium Access Control (MAC) and routing protocols have been developed in the last years for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs).One of the main difficulties to compare and validate the performance of different proposals is the lack of a common standard to model the acoustic propagation in the underwater environment.In this paper we

Genomic insights into familial adenomatous polyposis: unraveling a rare case with whole APC gene deletion and intellectual disability

Abstract A young patient diagnosed with advanced colon cancer and liver metastasis was found to have familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) through comprehensive genomic analysis.Whole-genome array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) revealed germline deletions at chromosome 5q22.1-22.2 encompassing the Beauty Mirror entire APC gene.The patient
