Data Aggregation Based Proactive Data Reporting Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor networks are the grouping of tiny sensor nodes that gathers the information by sensing activeness from the surroundings similar lands, forests, hills, sea. Power saving is a critical issue in wireless sensor networks since sensor nodes are battery-powered. To achieve optimized network performance at collecting a small portion of sensed data in network is in current researches. There are many protocols available for the successful communication. Sink trail and sink trail-s are the two energy efficient proactive data reporting protocols for mobile sink based on data collection with low complexity and reduced control overhead. In wireless sensor networks, using mobile sinks mobility rather than static sink for data collection is the new trend. Recently the researches are giving the concentration on moving patterns of the mobile sink to achieve optimized network performance, collecting a small area of sensed data in the network and also reducing energy consumption is main motto of the recent searches. Sink trail and sink trail-S protocols aim to conserve energy by turning off unnecessary sensors while simultaneously preserving a constant level of routing fidelity. In the proposed system we proposed the system that provides solution over mobility problems in wireless sensor network with energy saving methodology using aggregation technique.

If you are looking for a more regular method that will provide an interactive form easily happens to be gesture control. Using physical devices has always been a method widely used. Replica of human hand can made using different modes, operating schemas and different number of degrees of freedom. Few of the most significant models are studied and analyzed in order to provide more know about its working. To provide more ease of operation image input can be used. This input needs to be captured and processed in order to hand the system. Some of the gesture recognition method studied along with these robotics hands for future use

An A3P approach towards Image Privacy on Social Sites

Usage of social media’s has been considerably increasing in today’s world which enables the user to share their personal information like images with other users. This improved technology leads to privacy desecration where the users can share large number of images across the network. To provide security for the information, we put forward this paper consisting Adaptive Privacy Policy Prediction (A3P) framework to help users create security measures for their images. The role of images and its metadata are studied as a measure of user’s privacy preferences. The Framework defines the best privacy policy for the uploaded images. It includes an Image classification framework for association of images with similar policies and a policy prediction technique to automatically generate a privacy policy for user-uploaded images

Effects of alirocumab on types of myocardial infarction: insights from the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial

Aims  The third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (MI) Task Force classified MIs into five types: Type 1, spontaneous; Type 2, related to oxygen supply/demand imbalance; Type 3, fatal without ascertainment of cardiac biomarkers; Type 4, related to percutaneous coronary intervention; and Type 5, related to coronary artery bypass surgery. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction with statins and proprotein convertase subtilisin–kexin Type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors reduces risk of MI, but less is known about effects on types of MI. ODYSSEY OUTCOMES compared the PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab with placebo in 18 924 patients with recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and elevated LDL-C (≥1.8 mmol/L) despite intensive statin therapy. In a pre-specified analysis, we assessed the effects of alirocumab on types of MI. Methods and results  Median follow-up was 2.8 years. Myocardial infarction types were prospectively adjudicated and classified. Of 1860 total MIs, 1223 (65.8%) were adjudicated as Type 1, 386 (20.8%) as Type 2, and 244 (13.1%) as Type 4. Few events were Type 3 (n = 2) or Type 5 (n = 5). Alirocumab reduced first MIs [hazard ratio (HR) 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.77–0.95; P = 0.003], with reductions in both Type 1 (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.77–0.99; P = 0.032) and Type 2 (0.77, 0.61–0.97; P = 0.025), but not Type 4 MI. Conclusion  After ACS, alirocumab added to intensive statin therapy favourably impacted on Type 1 and 2 MIs. The data indicate for the first time that a lipid-lowering therapy can attenuate the risk of Type 2 MI. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol reduction below levels achievable with statins is an effective preventive strategy for both MI types.For complete list of authors see http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehz299</p

Effect of alirocumab on mortality after acute coronary syndromes. An analysis of the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES randomized clinical trial

Background: Previous trials of PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9) inhibitors demonstrated reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events, but not death. We assessed the effects of alirocumab on death after index acute coronary syndrome. Methods: ODYSSEY OUTCOMES (Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Syndrome During Treatment With Alirocumab) was a double-blind, randomized comparison of alirocumab or placebo in 18 924 patients who had an ACS 1 to 12 months previously and elevated atherogenic lipoproteins despite intensive statin therapy. Alirocumab dose was blindly titrated to target achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) between 25 and 50 mg/dL. We examined the effects of treatment on all-cause death and its components, cardiovascular and noncardiovascular death, with log-rank testing. Joint semiparametric models tested associations between nonfatal cardiovascular events and cardiovascular or noncardiovascular death. Results: Median follow-up was 2.8 years. Death occurred in 334 (3.5%) and 392 (4.1%) patients, respectively, in the alirocumab and placebo groups (hazard ratio [HR], 0.85; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.98; P=0.03, nominal P value). This resulted from nonsignificantly fewer cardiovascular (240 [2.5%] vs 271 [2.9%]; HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.74 to 1.05; P=0.15) and noncardiovascular (94 [1.0%] vs 121 [1.3%]; HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.59 to 1.01; P=0.06) deaths with alirocumab. In a prespecified analysis of 8242 patients eligible for ≥3 years follow-up, alirocumab reduced death (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.65 to 0.94; P=0.01). Patients with nonfatal cardiovascular events were at increased risk for cardiovascular and noncardiovascular deaths (P<0.0001 for the associations). Alirocumab reduced total nonfatal cardiovascular events (P<0.001) and thereby may have attenuated the number of cardiovascular and noncardiovascular deaths. A post hoc analysis found that, compared to patients with lower LDL-C, patients with baseline LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) had a greater absolute risk of death and a larger mortality benefit from alirocumab (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.56 to 0.90; Pinteraction=0.007). In the alirocumab group, all-cause death declined wit h achieved LDL-C at 4 months of treatment, to a level of approximately 30 mg/dL (adjusted P=0.017 for linear trend). Conclusions: Alirocumab added to intensive statin therapy has the potential to reduce death after acute coronary syndrome, particularly if treatment is maintained for ≥3 years, if baseline LDL-C is ≥100 mg/dL, or if achieved LDL-C is low.

Photophysical properties and electronic structure of highly donor doped (110) layered perovskite material

Sr2Nb2O7, a donor doped (110) layered perovskite material was synthesized by solid state reaction method and studied for its photo physical properties. The morphology, crystal structure and optical properties were characterized respectively by SEM, XRD and UV-DRS spectroscopies. We performed the electronic band structure calculations on orthorhombic crystal structure of Sr2Nb2O7, within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) by using Wien97 code. The photo physical and electronic properties indicate Sr2Nb2O7 to be a better photocatalyst than conventional or other known candidates viz. TiO2, SrTiO3, BaTiO3.X115sciescopuskc

Hydrothermal synthesis of Cr and Fe co-doped TiO2 nanoparticle photocatalyst

We report here new findings on the visible light photodecomposition activity of gaseous iso-propyl alcohol over Cr and Fe co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles. High surface area, doped TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized hydrothermally and co-dopant effects are investigated. The physico-chemical properties of the co-doped nanoparticles led to efficient photocatalysts. Cr and Fe co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited two times higher photocatalytic activity for the photodecomposition of gaseous isopropyl alcohol than the individually (Cr/Fe) doped TiO2 nanoparticles under visible light irradiation (lambda > 420 nm). The activity is mainly correlated to the larger absorptions around 496nm and 563nm wavelengths by co-doped TiO2 nanopartides than Fe doped TiO2 nanoparticles which possibly absorb lambda > 496 nm.X1131sciescopuskc

Synthesis of Nanocrystalline ZnFe2O(4) by Polymerized Complex Method for its Visible Light Photocatalytic Application: An Efficient Photo-oxidant

Nanocrystalline ZnFe2O4 oxide-semiconductor with spinel structure was synthesized by the polymerized complex (PC) method and investigated for its photocatalytic and photoelectric properties. The observation of a highly pure phase and a lower crystallization temperature in ZnFe2O4 made by PC method is in total contrast to that was observed in ZnFe2O4 prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) method. The band gap of the nano-crystalline ZnFe2O4 determined by UV-DRS was 1.90 eV (653 nm). The photocatalytic activity of ZnFe2O4 prepared by PC method as investigated by the photo-decomposition of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) under visible light (>= 420 nm) was much higher than that of the ZnFe2O4 prepared by SSR as well as TiO2-xNx. High photocatalytic activity of ZnFe2O4 prepared by PC method was mainly due to its surface area, crystallinity and the dispersity of platinum metal over ZnFe2O4.X1124sciescopuskc
