A low power IoT network for smart agriculture
Traditional agriculture is transforming into smart
agriculture due to the prominence of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Low-cost and low-power are the key factors to make any IoT
network useful and acceptable to the farmers. In this paper,
we have proposed a low-power, low-cost IoT network for smart
agriculture. For monitoring the soil moisture content, we have
used an in-house developed sensor. In the proposed network, the
IITH mote is used as a sink and sensor node which provides
low-power communication. We have evaluated our network with
state of the art networks, proposed for agriculture monitoring.
Power and cost are the two metrics used for evaluation of these
networks. Results show that the proposed network consumes less
power and has prolonged lifetime in the agriculture field
Introduction: Risking Feeling: Alice Munro’s Fiction of “Exquisite Shame”
This introduction places the volume in the context of previous scholarship on Munro and anchors the collection in the wealth of affect and ethical theory that has informed recent cultural studies. We argue that these new essays, taken together, offer us an Alice Munro who is not the kindly Canadian icon reinforcing small-town verities who was celebrated and perpetuated in acts of national teaching with her Nobel Prize win; they ponder, instead, an edgier, messier Munro whose fictions of affective and ethical perplexities disturb rather than comfort
