The role of pelagic-benthic coupling in structuring littoral benthic communities at Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea) and in the Straits of Magellan

In Antarctic and peri-Antarctic regions, benthic communities are persistent in time and show high biomass and large numbers of individuals, mainly consisting of suspension and deposit feeders.In fact, apart from recruitment, the major factor structuring these communities is the high flow of organic matter from the pelagic domain to the bottom, repr

Efficient Power and Channel Allocation Strategies in Cooperative Potential Games for Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks

In wireless cognitive sensor networks, natural antagonism arises among unlicensed users when nodes opportunistically compete for unused frequency bands and the operations are seriously hampered by acute scarcity of resources.The transmitted power, which is inherently pertinent to the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), cognition methodo
