LoRaWAN Class B Multicast Scalability
No full textLoRaWAN has emerged as a popular IoT commu- nications technology. It comes with three classes of operation: A, B, and C. Although many IoT use-cases, like Firmware-over- the-Air updates, require multicast, Class A cannot be used for that purpose. Class C can, but consumes a lot of energy. This leaves Class B. In this paper, we investigate Class B multicast and its scalability properties. Issues like multicast member capacity, beacon blocking, and beacon collisions are highlighted, and several approaches to mitigate them are proposed: (1) “Ping-Slot Relaying,” to allow for more multicast members, (2) a scheduling approach indicating when to best send multicast packets, and (3) “Dynamic Region Formation” to coordinate the sending of beacons over multiple gateways. The proposed solutions do not require any modifications to the LoRaWAN protocol.Virtual/online event due to COVID-19 accepted author manuscriptEmbedded System

Identification of a novel class of mammalian phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes.
No full textPhosphoinositol (PhoIns)-specific phospholipase C enzymes (PLCs) are central to the inositol lipid signaling pathways and contribute to intracellular Ca2+ release and protein kinase C activation. Five distinct classes of PhoIns-specific PLCs are known to exist in mammals, which are activated by membrane receptor-mediated events. Here we have identified a sixth class of PhoIns-specific PLC with a novel domain structure, which we have termed PLC-eta. Two putative PLC-eta enzymes were identified in humans and in mice. Sequence analysis revealed that residues implicated in substrate binding and catalysis from other PhoIns-specific PLCs are conserved in the novel enzymes. PLC-eta enzymes are most closely related to the PLC-delta class and share a close evolutionary relationship with other PLC isozymes. EST analysis and RT-PCR data suggest that PLC-eta enzymes are expressed in several cell types and, by analogy with other mammalian PhoIns-specific PLCs, are likely to be involved in signal transduction pathways.Publisher PD
the middle class consensus and economic development
No full textModern political economy stresses"society's polarization"as a determinant of development outcomes. Among the most common dorms of social conflict are class polarization, and ethnic polarization. A middle class consensus is defined as a high share of income for the middle class and a low degree of ethnic polarization. A middle class consensus distinguishes development successes from failures. A theoretical model shows how groups - distinguished by class or ethnicity - will under-invest in human capital and infrastructure when there is"leakage"to another group. The author links the existence of a middle class consensus to exogenous country characteristics, such as resource endowments, along the lines of the provocative thesis of Engerman and Sokoloff (1997), that tropical commodity exporters are more unequal than other societies. The author confirms this hypothesis with cross-country data. This makes it possible to use resource endowments as instruments for inequality. A higher share of income for the middle class and lower ethnic polarization, are empirically associated with higher income, higher growth, more education, better health, better infrastructure, better economic policies, less political instability, less civil war (putting ethnic minorities at risk), more social"modernization,"and more democracy.Economic Theory&Research,Decentralization,Gender and Social Development,Environmental Economics&Policies,Labor Policies,Achieving Shared Growth,Governance Indicators,Economic Development,Inequality,Economic Theory&Research
