Abstract

The proposed system introduces a Distributed Dynamic Source Routing (D-DSR) protocol to secure the network effectively which can inhibit the attacker from copying response of the packets. A multi-path secured routing scheme is used in the work. Reliability and performance of the protocol is measured through packet delivery ratio, attack prevention efficiency, path optimality and routing packet overhead. The results obtained exhibits high security and low false alarm rate.

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) consists of large amount of nodes spread either arbitrarily or non-arbitrarily in the region of interest for sensing an event. The main constraint in WSN existence is the consumption of energy by tiny sensor node during operation. For increasing the lifetime of WSN, various clustering techniques have been evolved in the last decade. Energy Consumption by the node primarily depends upon the distance between nodes to Cluster Head (CH), CH to Base Station (BS) and the Length (L) of the packet being transmitted. It has been analyzed that combinations of two different techniques i.e. EECA-F and H-PEGASIS can solve variety of issues. In this paper, two techniques are combined together to form Hybrid Energy-Efficient Clustering Technique (HEECA). Results revealed that in HEECA mechanism, nodes consume 1.75J energy even after 80 rounds whereas in EECA-F the toll reaches 3J. On analyzing, it is found that clustering through HEECA protocol can save 41.7 percent energy in nodes thus making them live longer and eligible to be used in robust applications where replacing battery of a node is a tedious task.

Abstract

This paper highlights various physical disorders and its associated disabilities. Plenty of wheel chair have been designed so far. A wheel chair which can assist the disabled people in their day to day life became a necessity. It is possible if their other organs of the body assist the electronic gadgets. Proposed method helps the physically challenged people to make their journey through electronic assisted module which works on signal processing over speech and image. This system works via speech or through recognition of hand gesture. To overcome the loss of signal because of real time inputs, different signal enhancement techniques are introduced to achieve high rate of accuracy and stability. The system's response time is very much considerable as the delays of the system are quite reduced. The operating system created to work on gestures and speech was tested on the test bed with different sets of data. Results marked prominent impression over the conventional ones with accuracy rate of 84.66% in case of image processing and 82.33% in speech signal processing.The refinement of the electronic wheelchair is going to definitely help many suffering from the disease.

Abstract

Aim: The present study was planned to analyze quantitative correlation of salivary Streptococcus Mutans (S. Mutans) in siblings and their mothers.

Materials and Methods: Quantitative analysis of S. Mutans in saliva was performed using Dentocult SM strip mutans kit (Orion Diagnostica, Helsinki, Finland) in closely related members of the family i.e. siblings along with their mothers.

Results: S. Mutans count between the siblings showed positive correlation which was statistically highly significant. The younger childrens' S. Mutans count was very highly correlated (r = 0.711) with the mothers' as compared to that of the older s children (r = 0.412). The S. Mutans count was found to be associated with caries score and was statistically s significant. A statistically highly significant positive association was also found with the plaque score.

Conclusion: The correlation between the S. Mutans count of related individuals has been reaffirmed. S. Mutans is positively associated with dental caries.

Abstract

The scientific enterprise in India has grown dramatically in the past few decades, with research emerging as a viable and important career option for students of science. The country thus has a large population of young scientists in the early stages of establishing their independent research careers. While this demographic is arguably the most important group that will determine the future of scientific research in India, their status and concerns are poorly understood. The Indian National Young Academy of Sciences conducted a national survey to better understand and present the challenges faced by them. Through a structured questionnaire, we sought the views of researchers below 45 years of age. Here, we summarize the responses from 854 participants across multiple early career stages. We highlight key challenges faced by these scientists in establishing an independent research career, and suggest steps to address them.
