Cross-layer aware transport protocols for wireless networks
No full textThis dissertation addresses the problem of reliable file transfer over single-hop and multi-hop shared-media wireless networks which are generally characterized by fluctuating bandwidth and error characteristics. Traditional reliable file transport protocols such as TCP assume relatively slow-varying links and were not generally designed to deal with interference problems of shared media wireless networks. The large performance gap between unreliable UDP and reliable TCP motivates the investigation of new transport protocols that might achieve significantly faster file transfer than TCP on wireless media.
CLAP - a Cross Layer Aware transport Protocol has been developed as a general solution for reliable file transfer, with decoupled flow control and error control to accommodate time-varying links. Error control in CLAP was designed to minimize interference and round-trip time estimation. Flow control in the proposed transport protocol leverages MAC status information via a novel cross-layer software framework (CLF), developed to provide systematic access to intra-node and inter-node status information.
Single hop evaluations, which consider an 802.11b wireless LAN with wired backhaul, were carried out using both NS2 simulations and ORBIT test-bed experiments. In time-varying, high loss scenarios, TCP shuts down operation without MAC retries, while an early CLAP version (CLAP-beta) achieves over 68% of upper-bound UDP performance. In noise-free scenarios, a "skip-ACKs" TCP modification to reduce interference achieves limited gains since TCP flow control depends on regular ACKs, while CLAP-beta approaches peak UDP performance by fully using the bandwidth available.
Multi-hop evaluations with NS2 simulations consider a 3-hop primary path in a 4x4 wireless mesh over 802.11b single-channel interfaces. Occasional background flows and on-off channel noise injection produce bandwidth and error fluctuations. These simulations expose the general multi-hop wireless problem where self interference in the forward path significantly reduces end-to-end bandwidth. Increasing interference and random packet losses tend to degrade TCP performance even more significantly than in 1-hop scenarios. Here, CLAP-final with improvements (relative to CLAP-beta) to reduce dependence on RTT estimation achieves over 90% of UDP performance in a variety of time-varying conditions.
This thesis demonstrates the efficacy of reliable file transfer using CLAP to address interference and time-varying links in both single- and multi-hop wireless network scenarios. Future research opportunities include cross-layer techniques for error control, efficient inter-node protocols for CLF, and tighter integration with mesh network routing protocols.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 108-113).by Sumathi Gopa

It was seen that the analysis included author productivity, authorship pattern, degrees of collaboration, year wise Cited references, Relative growth rate, and doubling time. This study also verified Lotka’s Inverse square law of author productivity, Price’s Square root law, Pareto Principle (80*20 Rule)
The Middle Passage: Migration and Displacement of Sri Lankan Tamil Women of the Diaspora
No full textThe article attempts to grapple with the different facets of marginalisation produced by a specific type of Diasporic activity - as women, as Sri Lankan Tamils, and as participations that must negotiate a process that is at once transnational and postcolonial. Through the examination of different cultural modes of expression, novels, stories, and pamphlets, it attempts to answer as to how the Sri Lankan Tamil woman, away-from-home, makes sense of her world and how she sees it vis-a-vis her \u27homeland.\u27 Though displaccement itself contains the libertatory potential, is this \u27truth\u27 of a better world often distorted by the indirect and direct controls imposed by a hegemonic West? Through the metaphor of the woman\u27s body, the author attempts to map the contours of identity=politics that are at aplay on trans-border women. By marking the different phases in the process of Tamil migration, she notes the change that has come about in the constitution of \u27nationalist\u27 identities, the role of transnational locations, and in the final phase, the reformulation of identity with changes in class. Of particular interest here is the continuation of the Tamil nation, and the role it plays in the re-production of the marginalisation of women. What way out is there then? For the author, there is a \u27middle passage,\u27 one that re-negotiates the contours of her own body, and thus her nation, through her own modes of expression, not radically or transgressively, but less violently
Study and Theoretical Analysis of Various Segmentation Techniques for Ultrasound Images
No full textAbstractImage segmentation is an important and also necessary technique as it facilitates the delineation of anatomical structures and other region of interest in various imaging modalities such as Ultrasound, Computer Tomography… of medical field. Among the several imaging modalities, an Ultrasound technique plays a vital role in medical field because it is non-invasive and mainly radiation used in this modality is not harmful. On the other hand, the image obtained using this modality is distorted due to the several reasons like inherent noise of the equipment, lack of operator knowledge…etc. This makes the complexity in identifying the region of interest. Several segmentation techniques are used to segment the region of interest from the noisy image. This paper explores various segmentation techniques like edge based, threshold based, region based and texture based segmentation

A Study on Vatha Karappan (வாத கரப்பான்)
Full text linkThe present studies is Karappan is a dermatological disease that causes many patients in despair. It is a major health hazard in the developing countries like India. People who live in densely populated areas with poor hygiene facilities, lack of personal and environmental hygiene, change in life style, diet habits, and use of artificial cosmetics, chemical constituents are the common factors that precipitate this disease. So when the disease once occurrs, remission and relapse happens subsequently throughout the life of the patient. The frequency of relapse depends upon the individual immune power. The author has selected this disease for the dissertation work to evolve a better treatment for getting rid of this disease, once for all. When selecting an appropriate drug to try, the author had decided to go for a pure herbal drug Perumarapattai chooranam internal and Herbo Mineral drug Pungu thylum external. The principal object of this study is to have a clinical trial on Vatha Karappan patients with trial drugs Perumarapattai chooranam (internal) and Pungu thylam (external). To create awareness about the Siddha science and to highlight the efficacy of Siddha drugs among the public. To have an idea of an incidence of Karappan with reference to age, life style, occupation, socio economical status, family history, and seasonal variations. To know how the disease alters the normal conditions under the topics of Mukkutram, Poripulangal, Envagai thervugal, Udar kattugal, Neerkuri and Neikuri. To evaluate the biochemical and pharmacological analysis of the trial drugs. To use the modern diagnostic parameters to endorse the diagnosis and follow the progression of the disease. To make an awareness among the people about the prevention of the disease. To know the extent of correlation of etiology, classification, signs and symptoms of Vatha Karappan in Siddha aspect with Eczema in modern aspect. When Perumarapattai chooranam and Pungu thylum were administered to the Vatha Karappan patient, following results were observed. Results show that 72.5 % of patients showed good relief and 27.5% cases had moderate relief. The disseration drug was very effective to the patients and there was no recurrences of symptoms were reported. cost of the drug is very cheap and free from side effect. So they are useful for long term purposes Hereby the author concludes that the treatment with drug Perumarapattai Chooranam (internal) and Pungu thylam (external) for Vatha Karappan was found very effective in point of efficacy and safety
