    ESAHR: Energy Efficient Swarm Adaptive Hybrid Routing Topology for Mobile Ad hoc Networks

    Full text link
    Ad hoc networks consist of independent self structured nodes. Nodes use a wireless medium for exchange their message or data, therefore two nodes can converse directly if and only if they are within each other2019;s broadcast range. Swarm intelligence submits to complex behaviors that occur from very effortless individual activities and exchanges, which is frequently experienced in nature, especially amongst social insects such as ants. Although each individual (an ant) has little intelligence and simply follows basic rules using local information gained from the surroundings, for instance ant2019;s pheromone track arranging and following activities, globally optimized activities, such as discovering a shortest route, appear when they work together as a group. In this regard in our earlier work we proposed a biologically inspired metaphor based routing in mobile ad hoc networks that referred as Swarm Adaptive Hybrid Routing (SAHR). . With the motivation gained from SAHR, here in this paper we propose a energy efficient swarm adaptive hybrid routing topology (ESAHR). The goal is to improve transmission performance along with energy conservation that used for packet transmission In this paper we use our earlier proposed algorithm that inspired from Swarm Intelligence to obtain these characteristics. In an extensive set of simulation tests, we evaluate our routing algorithm with state-of-the-art algorithm, and demonstrate that it gets better performance over a wide range of diverse scenarios and for a number of different assessment measures. In particular, we show that it scales better in energy conservation with the number of nodes in the network

    Enhancing the Routing Security through Node Trustworthiness using Secure Trust Based Approach in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

    Full text link
    Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, also known as MANETs are the part of networks which utilizes the technologies like Internet of Things. Internet is filled with known as well as unknown sources which are still considered as a challenge. Considering the security challenges in the topology, infrastructure and bandwidth of these networks the below secure trust approach is proposed. Among all the existing and proposed approaches to provide the security to these networks seemed lengthy and complex. The study here focuses on the trust factor of the nodes to simulate the challenge of providing the secure transmission. The challenge is approached through calculations from the simulations based on node distribution and its trustworthiness. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed secure trust mechanism, three scenarios are considered here. Routing between source ad destination without any trust calculation, routing with only direct trust factor and routing with proposed secure trust calculation from the node’s distributions. The goal of proposed method in this paper is about the secure routing for transmission by simulating the important factor Node trustworthiness using new trust mechanism proposed i.e. secure trust. The metrics from the simulations shows the efficient performance of the proposed method.&nbsp

    Senescence and senotherapeutics: a new field in cancer therapy

    No full text
    Cellular senescence is a stress response mechanism ensuring homeostasis. Its temporal activation during embryonic development or normal adult life is linked with beneficial properties. In contrast, persistent (chronic) senescence seems to exert detrimental effects fostering aging and age-related disorders, such as cancer. Due to the lack of a reliable marker able to detect senescence in vivo, its precise impact in age-related diseases is to a large extent still undetermined. A novel reagent termed GL13 (SenTraGorTM) that we developed, allowing senescence recognition in any type of biological material, emerges as a powerful tool to study the phenomenon of senescence in vivo. Exploiting the advantages of this novel methodological approach, scientists will be able to detect and connect senescence with aggressive behavior in human malignancies, such as tolerance to chemotherapy in classical Hodgkin Lymphoma and Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. The latter depicts the importance of developing the new and rapidly expanding field of senotherapeutic agents targeting and driving to cell death senescent cells. We discuss in detail the current progress of this exciting area of senotherapeutics and suggest its future perspectives and applications. © 2018 The Author

    Nanomedicine: Photo-activated nanostructured titanium dioxide, as a promising anticancer agent

    No full text
    The multivariate condition of cancer disease has been approached in various ways, by the scientific community. Recent studies focus on individualized treatments, minimizing the undesirable consequences of the conventional methods, but the development of an alternative effective therapeutic scheme remains to be held. Nanomedicine could provide a solution, filling this gap, exploiting the unique properties of innovative nanostructured materials. Nanostructured titanium dioxide (TiO2) has a variety of applications of daily routine and of advanced technology. Due to its biocompatibility, it has also a great number of biomedical applications. It is now clear that photo-excited TiO2 nanoparticles, induce generation of pairs of electrons and holes which react with water and oxygen to yield reactive oxygen species (ROS) that have been proven to damage cancer cells, triggering controlled cellular processes. The aim of this review is to provide insights into the field of nanomedicine and particularly into the wide context of TiO2-NP-mediated anticancer effect, shedding light on the achievements of nanotechnology and proposing this nanostructured material as a promising anticancer photosensitizer. © 2020 The Author(s

    Driver Drowsiness Detection using Hybrid Algorithm

    Full text link
    In this work we focus on the discernment of sleepiness in drivers’ drowsiness proposing a hybrid algorithm which aims to confirm whether the driver's level of attention has decreased owing to a nap or any other medical issue, such as brain problems. Therefore, the proposed hybrid algorithm uses both Haarcascade classifier and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm to detect drivers’ drowsiness. The driver's eyes will be monitored and an alert sound will be generated by Raspberry Pi module, but the face must be moving in real time, and the aspect ratio must be between 16:9 and 1.85:1. People often feel sleepy since activities like driving call for a proper mental state, and bad work-life balance has additional negative repercussions. When we give input through normal camera it analyses drivers state of eyes and mouth, actually it checks aspect ratio of eye. We proved in comparative trials that our hybrid algorithm beats current driving fatigue detection algorithms in speed as well as accuracy
