Capacity of Fading Gaussian Channel with an Energy Harvesting Sensor Node

Network life time maximization is becoming an important design goal in wireless sensor networks. Energy harvesting has recently become a preferred choice for achieving this goal as it provides near perpetual operation. We study such a sensor node with an energy harvesting source and compare various architectures by which the harvested energy is used. We find its Shannon capacity when it is transmitting its observations over a fading AWGN channel with perfect/no channel state information provided at the transmitter. We obtain an achievable rate when there are inefficiencies in energy storage and the capacity when energy is spent in activities other than transmission.Comment: 6 Pages, To be presented at IEEE GLOBECOM 201

ANALYSIS OF SITE-SPECIFIC DETERMINANTS OF LOCATION DECISIONS FOR THE U.S. BROILER INDUSTRY

Conjoint analysis is applied to study the attributes affecting the location of a broiler complex. Distance between feed mill and growers, feed cost, and community attitude toward broiler industry are found to be the most important factors influencing the location decision of broiler growing, feed mill, and broiler processing respectively.Agribusiness,

Spatial Dependency of the Geographically Concentrated U.S. Broiler Industry

The study develops a county-level spatial lag model that analyzes factors affecting location and production of the U.S. broiler industry. The spatial lag coefficient was found to be positive and significant in the model indicating spatial dependency of the geographically concentrated U.S. broiler industry within the Southeast.Agribusiness,

Beyond fuzzy spheres

We study polynomial deformations of the fuzzy sphere, specifically given by the cubic or the Higgs algebra. We derive the Higgs algebra by quantizing the Poisson structure on a surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We find that several surfaces, differing by constants, are described by the Higgs algebra at the fuzzy level. Some of these surfaces have a singularity and we overcome this by quantizing this manifold using coherent states for this nonlinear algebra. This is seen in the measure constructed from these coherent states. We also find the star product for this non-commutative algebra as a first step in constructing field theories on such fuzzy spaces.Comment: 9 pages, 3 Figures, Minor changes in the abstract have been made.
