01 Mar 2011TL;DR: Issues in WSNs are outlined,PSO is introduced, and its suitability for WSN applications is discussed, and a brief survey of how PSO is tailored to address these issues is presented.
Abstract: Wireless-sensor networks (WSNs) are networks of autonomous nodes used for monitoring an environment. Developers of WSNs face challenges that arise from communication link failures, memory and computational constraints, and limited energy. Many issues in WSNs are formulated as multidimensional optimization problems, and approached through bioinspired techniques. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a simple, effective, and computationally efficient optimization algorithm. It has been applied to address WSN issues such as optimal deployment, node localization, clustering, and data aggregation. This paper outlines issues in WSNs, introduces PSO, and discusses its suitability for WSN applications. It also presents a brief survey of how PSO is tailored to address these issues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated conventional drinking water treatment processes under typical water treatment plant conditions to determine their effectiveness in the removal of seven common antibiotics: carbadox, sulfachlorpyridazine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfamerazine, sul-famethazine and trimethoprim.
Abstract: Conventional drinking water treatment processes were evaluated under typical water treatment plant conditions to determine their effectiveness in the removal of seven common antibiotics: carbadox, sulfachlorpyridazine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfamerazine, sul- famethazine, sulfathiazole, and trimethoprim. Experiments were conducted using synthetic solutions prepared by spiking both distilled/ deionized water and Missouri River water with the studied compounds. Sorption on Calgon WPH powdered activated carbon, reverse osmosis, and oxidation with chlorine and ozone under typical plant conditions were all shown to be effective in removing the studied antibiotics. Conversely, coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation with alum and iron salts, excess lime/soda ash softening, ultraviolet irra- diation at disinfection dosages, and ion exchange were all relatively ineffective methods of antibiotic removal. This study shows that the studied antibiotics could be effectively removed using processes already in use in many water treatment plants. Additional work is needed on by-product formation and the removal of other classes of antibiotics.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sonochemical process was developed to treat carbon nanotubes in nitric and sulfuric acids to create surface functional groups for metal nanoparticle deposition, which led to the deposition of uniformly dispersed high loading Pt nanoparticles.
Abstract: A sonochemical process was developed to treat carbon nanotubes in nitric and sulfuric acids to create surface functional groups for metal nanoparticle deposition. Carbon nanotubes treated in the sonochemical process are shown to lead to the deposition of uniformly dispersed high loading Pt nanoparticles, which have not been achieved with carbon nanotubes treated in reflux processes. Pt nanoparticles of a size less than 5 nm and loading up to 30 wt % with little aggregation were synthesized on the sonochemically treated carbon nanotubes. Cyclic voltammetry measurements in 1.0 M H2SO4 showed that the Pt nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes are more than 100% active in the electrochemical adsorption and desorption of hydrogen than the Pt nanoparticles supported on carbon black. This enhancement of electrochemical activity is attributed to the unique structures of carbon nanotubes and the interactions between the Pt nanoparticles and the carbon nanotube support. The ability to synthesize high loading Pt on carbo...
