Modelling Clustering of Wireless Sensor Networks with Synchronised Hyperedge ...M H
This paper proposes Synchronised Hyperedge Replacement (SHR) as a suitable modelling framework for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). SHR facilitates explicit modelling of WSNs applications environmental conditions (that significantly affect applications performance) while providing a sufficiently high level of abstraction for the specification of the underling coordination mechanisms. Because it is an intractable problem to solve in distributed manner, and distribution is important, we propose a new Nutrient-flow-based Distributed Clustering (NDC) algorithm to be used as a working example. The key contribution of this work is to demonstrate that SHR is sufficiently expressive to describe WSNs algorithms and their behaviour at a suitable level of abstraction to allow onward analysis.

The Evolution of Laboratory Data Systems: Replacing Paper, Streamlining Proce...IDBS
The laboratory has become an increasingly electronic environment. It’s not just that the volume of data is greater than ever before, it’s also being generated at ever-increasing speeds. As companies move towards a fully integrated lab environment there are benefits and pitfalls along the way. Successful projects start with a solid foundation, and keep a clear vision in mind.
An Approach to Data Extraction and Visualisation for Wireless Sensor NetworksM H
Ever since descartes introduced planar coordinate systems, visual representations of data have become a widely accepted way of describing scientific phenomena. Modern advances in measurement and instrumentation have required increasingly sophisticated visual representations, to ensure that scientists can quickly and accurately interpret increasingly complex data. Most recently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged as a technology which is capable of collecting a vast amount of data over space and time. The sheer volume of the data makes it difficult to be interpreted by humans into meaningful insights. This presents a number of challenges for developers of visualisation techniques which seek to ``map'' the data sensed by a network. Visualisation techniques helps to turn large amounts of raw data into credible visual information such as graphs, charts, or maps, that can assist in understanding of the meaning of that data. In this paper we propose a map as a suitable data visualisation and extraction tool. We aim to develop an in-network distributed information extraction and visualisation service. Such a service would greatly simplify the production of higher-level information-rich representations suitable for informing other network services and the delivery of field information visualisation.

how to sell pi coins effectively (from 50 - 100k pi)DOT TECH
Anywhere in the world, including Africa, America, and Europe, you can sell Pi Network Coins online and receive cash through online payment options.
Pi has not yet been launched on any exchange because we are currently using the confined Mainnet. The planned launch date for Pi is June 28, 2026.
Reselling to investors who want to hold until the mainnet launch in 2026 is currently the sole way to sell.
Consequently, right now. All you need to do is select the right pi network provider.
Who is a pi merchant?
An individual who buys coins from miners on the pi network and resells them to investors hoping to hang onto them until the mainnet is launched is known as a pi merchant.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

There is no set date for when Pi coins will enter the market.

• Proof that the initial team is able to attract talent –
• Proof that ecosystem agrees with your ideas – bringing respected industry advisors partners on board
• Proof that there is market – £1M annually/ Proof that the market is big! – £25M annually and beyond

Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme-SEIS is a tax break launched in April 2012 for UK
tax payers to encourage them to buy shares in start-up companies registered in the
UK
The Facts:
• SEIS investors can input £100,000 in a single tax year rising to a maximum £150,000 over two
or more tax years in to a single company
• Investors cannot control the company receiving their capital
• Investors pick up 50% tax relief in the tax year the investment is made, regardless of their
marginal rate.
• In the 2012-13 tax year, tax payers can roll any chargeable gain in the tax year in to a SEIS
with a full capital gains tax exemption (another 28%)
• The business must be a start-up company -registered in the UK within 2 years of claim.
• The company must not employ more than 25 workers.
• The company must have assets of less than £200,000.
• The company has to trade in an approved sector – generally not in finance or investment, for
example, a property company raise capital as a SEIS.
