The surrounding habitat of marine algae in Malta

Chapter 10The study of algae has been conducted throughout the ages recreating multiple times scientific research with the latest technology and development that renders the results more efficient and reliable. In the Maltese scenario certain advances have not been backed up with the local situation and therefore they lack the real counterpart issue of what in reality we can observe. The Maltese Islands have undergone several infrastructural changes, which in some cases altered the natural setting. The arena of algae in relation to the anthropogenic disturbance being imposed on them has not been scrutinised in depth. Th is study aims to focus on such field in order to have real life analyses of the environment that surrounds us. In order to homogenise an array of features, biotic and abiotic factors have been emphasised on. Chemical tests are part of the lab analysis that consume most of the time since the water samples are very critical to the study. Th e time span required for the data collection and tests to be carried out is one of the issues for such data to create a determinative pattern.peer-reviewe

Research Strategies Award Essay: The Boston Molasses Disaster

This paper will illustrate the research adventure I embarked on in order to complete the final ten-page paper for my Theory and Writing of History Seminar. The paper topic was twofold; we were instructed to locate primary sources and to use them to reconstruct a past event as accurately as possible while at the same time using our particular topic as a test case to demonstrate the difficulty in doing so, taking special note of the relationship between evidence and historical truth

On Link Estimation in Dense RPL Deployments

The Internet of Things vision foresees billions of devices to connect the physical world to the digital world. Sensing applications such as structural health monitoring, surveillance or smart buildings employ multi-hop wireless networks with high density to attain sufficient area coverage. Such applications need networking stacks and routing protocols that can scale with network size and density while remaining energy-efficient and lightweight. To this end, the IETF RoLL working group has designed the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL). This paper discusses the problems of link quality estimation and neighbor management policies when it comes to handling high densities. We implement and evaluate different neighbor management policies and link probing techniques in Contiki’s RPL implementation. We report on our experience with a 100-node testbed with average 40-degree density. We show the sensitivity of high density routing with respect to cache sizes and routing metric initialization. Finally, we devise guidelines for design and implementation of density-scalable routing protocols
