(
Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) concentrations in dust trapped on air conditioning unit filters operating in residential and workplace locations in Doha, Qatar were sampled and measured. Fourteen samples were collected ...
A novel multi-hop body-To-body routing protocol for disaster and emergency networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a new multi-hop routing protocol (called ORACE-Net) for disaster and emergency networks is proposed. The proposed hierarchical protocol creates an ad-hoc network through body-To-body (B2B) communication ...
