Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will comprise extended and expanded versions of proceedings papers from the 9th International Electronic Conference on Sensors and Applications, which is to be held on 1–15 November 2022 on sciforum.net. In this 9th edition of the e-conference, contributors are invited to provide papers and presentations from the field of sensors and applications at large. Selected papers that will attract the most interest on the web, or that will provide a particularly innovative contribution, will be gathered for publication. These papers will be subjected to peer review and could possibly be published with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications. We hope that this conference series will grow further in the future and become recognized as a new way and venue by which to (electronically) present novel developments related to the field of sensors and their applications.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Non-dispersive infra-red (NDIR) detectors have become the dominant method for measuring atmospheric CO2, which is thought to be an important gas for honeybee colony health. In this work we describe a microcontroller-based system used to collect data from Senserion SCD41 NDIR sensors placed in the crown boards and queen excluders of honeybee colonies. The same sensors also provide relative humidity and temperature data. Several months of data have been recorded from four different hives. The mass change measurements, from hive scales, when foragers leave the hive were compared with the data from the gas sensors. Our data suggest that it is possible to estimate the colony size from the change in measured CO2, however no such link with the humidity is observed. Data are presented showing the CO2 decreasing over many weeks as a colony dies. Full article
