Routing Algorithm Based on Area Division Management of Node in Wireless Sensor Networks

In order to reduce the communication overhead among sensor nodes, a routing algorithm is proposed based on zoning management nodes. The algorithm defines the calculation method of the network partition radius after nodes deployment, and divides monitored area according to the radius meanwhile layouts one management node in each partition. Then nodes’ communication cost is calculated based on the distance among nodes as well as nodes’ energy, and finishes the selection of routing nodes based on the cost. Finally, using the Matlab simulation environment, the parameters impacting the optimal partition radius are discussed, and the proposed routing algorithm is compared with existing algorithms. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is more balanced on nodes energy consumption. The algorithm reduces network traffic overhead while extends the lifetime of the network

1,3,5-Tris(N-phenyl­benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene methanol solvate

The main mol­ecule of the title compound, C45H30N6·CH3OH, has a non-planar core: the dihedral angles between the benzimidazole rings and the central benzene ring are 20.19 (10), 34.57 (8), and 44.59 (8)°, while the dihedral angles between the peripheral phenyl rings and the attached benzimidazole rings are 84.57 (7), 62.71 (6) and 51.73 (6)°. The tri-substituted benzene mol­ecule is connected to the methanol solvent mol­ecule through an O—H⋯N hydrogen bond, forming a 1:1 solvate. In the crystal structure, no significant π–π inter­actions are present, and the mol­ecules are associated through weak C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O(methanol) contacts

Diaqua­bis­(5-carb­oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl­ato-κ2 N 3,O 4)manganese(II) 3.5-hydrate

In the title complex, [Mn(C8H9N2O4)2(H2O)2]·3.5H2O, the MnII cation is six-coordinated by two N,O-bidentate H2pimda− ligands (H2pimda− = 5-carb­oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl­ate) and two water mol­ecules in a distorted octa­hedral environment. The complete solid-state structure can be described as a three-dimensional supra­molecular framework stabilized by a wide range of O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The propyl groups of H2pimda− are disordered over two sets of sites with refined occupancies of 0.759 (5):0.241 (5) and 0.545 (7):0.455 (7)

Long-term unmet needs after stroke:systematic review of evidence from survey studies

OBJECTIVES: To synthesise evidence on longer term unmet needs perceived by stroke survivors, and psychometric properties of the tools used to evaluate unmet care needs after stroke. DESIGN: Systematic review. SETTING: Community or patients' home. PARTICIPANTS: Stroke survivors. METHODS: We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, EMBASE from inception to 31 March 2018 to identify survey studies that evaluated unmet needs perceived by stroke survivors after hospital discharge. Reported unmet needs were categorised under three domains: body functioning, activity/participation and environmental factors. Ranges of prevalence rates of unmet needs reported in studies were presented. RESULTS: We included 19 eligible studies, with considerable heterogeneity in patients, survey methods and results. Psychometric properties of two stroke-specific tools were formally evaluated, indicating their moderate reliability and content/concurrent validity. The median number of reported unmet needs per stroke survivor was from two to five, and the proportion of stroke survivors with at least one unmet needs was on average 73.8% (range 19.8%- 91.7%). Unmet needs perceived by stroke survivors included 55 records of unmet body functioning needs, 47 records of unmet activities/participatory needs and 101 records of unmet environmental needs. Common unmet service needs were unmet information needs (3.1%- 65.0%), transport (5.4%-53.0%), home help/personal care (4.7%-39.3%) and therapy (2.0%-35.7%). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of unmet long-term needs is high among stroke survivors, and there is considerable heterogeneity in type and frequency of specific unmet needs. More research is required to link regular assessment of long-term unmet needs of stroke survivors with the provision of cost-effective patient-centred health and social care services

Diaqua­bis­(5-carb­oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl­ato-κ2 N 3,O 4)cadmium(II) 3.5-hydrate

In the title complex, [Cd(C8H9N2O4)2(H2O)2]·3.5H2O, the CdII is coordinated by two water mol­ecules and N,O-chelated by two 5-carb­oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl­ate anions in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The two imidazole rings are oriented to each other with a dihedral angle of 75.1 (2)°. Strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between protonated and deprotonated carboxyl­ate groups occur in the mol­ecular structure. In the crystal structure extensive O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the three-dimensional supra­molecular framework. The propyl groups of anions are disordered over two sites with refined occupancies of 0.768 (6):0.232 (6) and 0.642 (8):0.358 (8)
