Performance Comparison between Bluetooth Mesh Network with and without Preemption in Relay Nodes

A performance comparison between two different implementations of message management of the scanning and advertising phases in relay nodes on Bluetooth Mesh network is analyzed. The main difference between the two is the introduction of a preemption principle in the management. The metric used is the end-to-end packet delivery ratio between individual source-destination pairs. The comparison examines different network topologies in terms of the number of transmission sources and coverage rang...

Prediction of Soluble Solids Content by Means of NIR Spectroscopy and Relation with Botrytis cinerea Tolerance in Strawberry Cultivars

Strawberry fruits are particularly appreciated by consumers for their sweet taste related to their soluble solids content (SSC). However, strawberries are characterized by a short shelf-life and high susceptibility to tissue infection, mainly by Botrytis cinerea. The SSC determination of strawberry fruit through traditional destructive techniques has some limitations related to the applicability, timing, and number of samples. The aims of this study are (i) to verify if any relation between S...

Underwater mussel culture grounds: precision technologies for management purposes

The exploitation of offshore mussel farms is becoming relevant almost everywhere, even though it lags way behind other food sectors that are already supported by mature monitoring, modeling, prediction, and analysis tools. New technologies and sensors could indeed boost this sector and alleviate key challenges facing the aquaculture industry. However, experiences and usable solutions are still scarce. Here, we propose a first attempt to introduce Augmented Reality (AR) technologies - composit...
