“…The sensors were protected by a plastic container given that they are open to the elements and are susceptible to malfunction due to the weather conditions, such as the rain and the sun. Readings are taken every five minutes by Arduino [30] located at 2m in a weather-resistant compartment, where signals are received via basic 3.5 mm stereo jacks attached to the wall of the compartment and then sent via the Internet to the database [31]. As the YL-83 rain sensor is only configured to switch the pump off if it rains, it was calibrated with the values (ON/OFF), such that the pump would be switched off when water is detected on the sensor.…”

Environment Control with Low-Cost Microcontrollers and Microprocessors: Application for Green Walls

Green wall irrigation procedures are a particularly important and hard task, given that the quality of the green wall depends on them. There is currently a wide variety of irrigation programmers available, with a range of functions and prices, thereby replacing manual activities and making it easier to maintain green walls. This paper proposes the use of low-cost automated irrigation programmers via a freeware called Arduino. The system is based on air and substrate measurements to ensure optimal plant growth and high water-use efficiency. At certain thresholds, the irrigation system is activated. This not only makes irrigation more convenient but also helps to reduce energy consumption, increases irrigation efficiency and saves time. The data is then sent via Transmission Control Protocol using Internet of Things technology, in this case ThingSpeak. The platform compiles the data and presents them in simple graphical format, thus enabling real-time monitoring from wherever there is Internet access. Together with Arduino, the project incorporates the Raspberry pi system that operates like a database via Hypertext Transfer Protocol Wi-Fi received by a Structured Query Language (MySQL) server using Hypertext Preprocessor. These data are used for the subsequent analysis of green wall performance.

Background. Habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is a vegetable of economic interest, its fruits have unique characteristics of flavor and pungency. Its pungency is due to the capsaicinoids, which were the starting research interest on this crop. In this review, the historical scientific information about habanero pepper in Mexico was analyzed, in order to have an overview of the past, present and the perspectives for research. Objective. To analyze the scientific research of habanero pepper in different regions of Mexico and identify its importance as a model plant study. Methodology. Fifteen databases and several key words were used to found the scientific research articles. Using their titles and aims, articles were grouped in eight research topic: 1) Biochemistry, 2) Genetics-Biotechnology, 3) Microbiology-Pests-Diseases, 4) Nutrition, 5) Physiology-Phenology, 6) Agronomic productivity, 7) Plant genetic resources and 8) Food and medical uses. The publications were sorted by year and region, the status of the journals and impact factor were analyzed. Main findings. In total 127 articles were analyzed and 69.3% of these were carried out at Yucatan Peninsula, 67% were published in journals indexed in the Journal of Citation Reports (JCR). Along years, publications of habanero peppers increased in other regions of Mexico; in addition, the research topics diversified. The first research article about habanero pepper in Mexico was published in 1998. In the area of biochemistry there were more publications (29), of which 24 were indexed in JCR. Implications. Most of the research of habanero pepper in Mexico can be classified as basic science, few manuscripts were about applied research. Conclusions. The capsaicinoids studies were the topic detonating research interest in this species as a model plant study, over time, the themes on this crop were diversified and the number of articles on habanero pepper has strengthened. However, more emphasis should be placed on studies focusing in solving the main problems of producers.

“…Wireless sensor network(WSN) attained a world wide attention and is one of most promising research areas because of its diverse applications and a number of advantages over conventional networks such as ease of deployment, low cost, scalability, flexibility, reliability, etc. Application areas of WSN are military, security, agriculture [2], industrial, medical [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], environmental monitoring and home and office automation etc [8]. Some other examples of WSN applications are real time monitoring of wheel condition of train [9], exploration of underwater environment [10], monitoring of concentration of volatile organic compound at risky sites [11] and fire monitoring [12] etc.…”

In medical body area network (MBAN) sensors are attached to a patient's body for continuous and real-time monitoring of biomedical vital signs. Sensors send patient's data to hospital base station so that doctors/caregivers can access it and be timely informed if patient's condition goes critical. These tiny sensors have low data rates, small transmission ranges, limited battery power and processing capabilities. Ensuring reliability in MBAN is important due to the critical nature of patient's data because any wrong/missing/delayed data can create a situation in which doctors may take wrong decisions about patient's health which can have fatal results. Data transmission reliability in MBAN can be ensured by retransmissions, acknowledgments or guaranteed time slot mechanism but it causes more power consumption. We propose an efficient MAC mechanism to achieve both reliability and energy efficiency at an acceptable tradeoff level. The proposed MAC mechanism not only overcomes the limitations of ZigBee MAC mechanism such as inefficient CSMA/CA and underutilization of guaranteed time slots, but also adapts for different traffic types such as emergency and normal traffic. Our results show that application level throughput and packet delivery ratio increase and packet loss decreases. We also optimize energy utilization by tuning macMaxCSMABackoffs and macMinBE parameters of ZigBee MAC mechanism.
