    Keywords : plant-plant communication; plant interactions by VOC; plant interactions by sound; photomorphogenesis; thigomorphogenesis; bioacoustics;

    Abstract : Plants interact with their environment in many ways. They can emit and receive volatile organic compounds (VOC) and sound. They can reflect specific wavelengths of light and detect these light signals, reflected by other plants. They can also feel when they are touched and distinguish different types of touch. READ MORE

  5. 15. Air-quality sensor with 10-years lifespan

    University essay from Högskolan Kristianstad/Fakulteten för naturvetenskap

    Author : Rilind Hasanaj; Ahmed Abuhemidan; [2019]
    Keywords : Air-quality sensor; Z-wave; carbon dioxide sensor; VOC sensor;

    Abstract : Sensors with very low power consumption are required so that they can last a long time without the need to replace the batteries very often. Low power sensors can save significant cost and time incurred in battery replacement, especially in establishments and organizations that span over several buildings, floors and rooms. READ MORE
