    On Internet of Things network (IoT), connections established among every device that connected to the Internet. An IoT uses different communication method instead to that, the Internet uses. Internet of Things (IoT) applications, use a light weight protocol Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT). In this article an Internet of Things (IoT) system is presented, an advanced solution of monitoring the temperature and luminosity at different locations in a data centre of MQTT Server, measuring power consumption in 2 types of time of capturing data (every 0,5 min and every 1 min) making temperature and luminosity data visible over internet through cloud based dashboard. The quality of service (QoS) in some application is very crucial because the data collection is essential. This research focus on QoS in terms of power consumption as well as the battery life of the system. The results show that the battery life span is proportional to the QoS and the longevity of the battery and respectively the IoT network life depends on it

    Enantiomeric-sensitive optical polarization conversion has been observed in the near-field above a planar chiral nanostructures consisting of an array of gammadions cut in a metal film. Formation of the far-field scattered light rotated with respect to the incident linear polarized light has been visualized

Gennimatas” Hospital of Athens, University of Athens, Athens, GreecePurpose: The purpose of this observational case report is to describe a case of skin rash after intravitreal use of bevacizumab.Methods: A 50-year-old man with choroidal neovascularization in the right eye due to age-related macular degeneration was treated with three intravitreal injections of bevacizumab.Results: Twelve days after the first injection, the patient developed a maculopapular rash on his forehead and on both temporal regions around his eyes. The rash disappeared eight days after treatment with topical corticosteroids. A skin rash with the same distribution reappeared 14 days after the second and 10 days after the third injection. Similarly, it disappeared five and seven days after the use of the same treatment. The follow-up period was 15 months after the third injection. During the follow-up period the rash did not reappear.Conclusion: This case report may initiate further investigation of similar cases to support this observation, as there are a lack of reports of skin rash after intravitreal administration of bevacizumab.Keywords: skin rash, bevacizumab, age-related macular degeneratio

    Surface plasmon toy-model of a rotating black hole

    Full text link
    Recently introduced surface plasmon toy black hole model has been extended in order to emulate a rotating black hole (Kerr metric). Physical realization of this model involves a droplet of an optically active liquid on the metal surface which supports propagation of surface plasmons. Such droplets are shown to exhibit giant optical activity in the frequency range near the surface plasmon resonance of a metal-liquid interface.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

    The Wahlquist-Newman solution

    Based on a geometrical property which holds both for the Kerr metric and for the Wahlquist metric we argue that the Kerr metric is a vacuum subcase of the Wahlquist perfect-fluid solution. The Kerr-Newman metric is a physically preferred charged generalization of the Kerr metric. We discuss which geometric property makes this metric so special and claim that a charged generalization of the Wahlquist metric satisfying a similar property should exist. This is the Wahlquist-Newman metric, which we present explicitly in this paper. This family of metrics has eight essential parameters and contains the Kerr-Newman-de Sitter and the Wahlquist metrics, as well as the whole Pleba\'nski limit of the rotating C-metric, as particular cases. We describe the basic geometric properties of the Wahlquist-Newman metric, including the electromagnetic field and its sources, the static limit of the family and the extension of the spacetime across the horizon.Comment: LaTeX, 18 pages, no figures.

    An experimental test of the growth rate hypothesis as a predictive framework for microevolutionary adaptation

    Get PDF
    The growth rate hypothesis (GRH) posits that the relative body phosphorus content of an organism is positively related to somatic growth rate, as protein synthesis, which is necessary for growth, requires P-rich rRNA. This hypothesis has strong support at the interspecific level. Here, we explore the use of the GRH to predict microevolutionary responses in consumer body stoichiometry. For this, we subjected populations of the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus to selection for fast population growth rate (PGR) in P-rich (HPF) and P-poor (LPF) food environments. With common garden transplant experiments, we demonstrate that in HP populations evolution toward increased PGR was concomitant with an increase in relative phosphorus content. In contrast, LP populations evolved higher PGR without an increase in relative phosphorus content. We conclude that the GRH has the potential to predict microevolutionary change, but that its application is contingent on the environmental context. Our results highlight the potential of cryptic evolution in determining the performance response of populations to elemental limitation of their food resources
