What is Energy?04:10

What is Energy?

58.9K
The universe is composed of matter in different forms, and all forms of matter contain energy.  The different forms of energy on Earth originate from the Sun — the ultimate energy source. Plants capture light energy from the Sun, and, via the process of photosynthesis, convert it into chemical energy. This stored energy from plants can be harnessed in many ways. For example, eating plant products as food provides energy for our body to function, and burning wood or coal (fossilized...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.4K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Free Energy01:21

Free Energy

52.0K
Free energy—abbreviated as G for the scientist Gibbs who discovered it—is a measurement of useful energy that can be extracted from a reaction to do work. It is the energy in a chemical reaction that is available after entropy is accounted for. Reactions that take in energy are considered endergonic and reactions that release energy are exergonic. Plants carry out endergonic reactions by taking in sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Animals, in turn, break...

Free Energy Changes for Nonstandard States

13.6K
The free energy change for a process taking place with reactants and products present under nonstandard conditions (pressures other than 1 bar; concentrations other than 1 M) is related to the standard free energy change according to this equation:

Internal Energy02:00

Internal Energy

36.7K
The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial.

Area of Science:

  • Marine technology
  • Underwater communication networks
  • Wireless sensor networks

Background:

  • High-speed data transmission in underwater environments is challenging.
  • Existing acoustic networks have limitations in bandwidth and speed.
  • Marine information detection requires efficient real-time data transfer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel energy-efficient Media Access Control (MAC) protocol for hybrid optical-acoustic underwater wireless sensor networks (OA-UWSN).
  • To achieve high-speed and real-time data transmission for marine information detection.
  • To improve network throughput and node lifetime compared to existing protocols.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a contention-based MAC protocol (OA-CMAC) integrating optical and acoustic communication.
  • Implemented acoustic handshake for location and channel availability.
  • Utilized optical handshake for transmission readiness and beam alignment.
  • Incorporated postponed access and spatial division multiple access (SDMA) techniques.
  • Simulated the protocol using OMNeT++.

Main Results:

  • The proposed OA-CMAC protocol achieved doubled throughput compared to existing O-A handshake protocols when optical handshaking success ratio exceeded 50%.
  • Node lifetime increased by 30% compared to pure acoustic communication due to low energy consumption of optical links.
  • Demonstrated suitability for large-scale, high-load underwater sensor networks.

Conclusions:

  • The OA-CMAC protocol effectively addresses the need for high-speed, real-time data transmission in marine environments.
  • The hybrid optical-acoustic approach offers significant improvements in network performance and energy efficiency.
  • This protocol is a viable solution for enhancing marine information detection capabilities through advanced underwater sensor networks.
