    Air pollution is now a serious problem for those living in big, congested, industrialized cities with heavy vehicular traffic. The real wellspring of air contamination in enormous urban communities and modernly propelled nations is the autos and engine vehicles. Each vehicle will have outflow however the issue happens when it is past the institutionalized qualities. Air contamination from autos is part into essential and auxiliary contamination. Essential contamination is discharged straightforwardly into the environment; optional contamination comes about because of concoction responses between toxins in the climate. In both cases poisons are made due to burning procedure. This discharge from vehicles can't be totally maintained but, it certainly can be controlled. Since with the advancement of technology semiconductor sensor can detect various gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbons, this paper goes for utilizing those sensors at the discharge outlets of vehicles which distinguishes the level of contamination. At the point when the contamination or discharge level shoots past the officially set edge level, the signal in the vehicle will be activated to demonstrate that the farthest point has been ruptured and the driver of the vehicle may stop after a specific time frame, driver is given the decision to either kill the bell and reset the drove light. Amid this day and age, the GPS begins finding the closest administration stations. After the clock runs out, the fuel supplied to the motor will be cut-off and the vehicle must be towed to the repairman or to the closest administration station. The synchronization and execution of the whole procedure is checked and controlled by a microcontroller. Predominantly for pragmatic utilization this paper depends on AVR based microcontroller. This paper, when utilized as a continuous venture, will profit the general public and help in diminishing the air contamination

    Delay tolerant network (DTN) is a class of wireless ad-hoc network. It works when end to end direct path does not exist between source and destination by using the Store and Forwarding routing mechanism. DTN has several features such as long delay, limited resources, high error rate, reliable transmission etc. Its application fields are in wildlife behavior monitoring, military battle field, post disaster communication, under water communication and many more. The purpose of this paper is to compare between two different strategic (Replication and Expedition based) routing protocols with the Power Priority Model, which is proposed in recently. The evaluated result of this performance analysis was obtained from Opportunistic Network Environment (ONE) simulator on various performance metrics such as, Delivery Probability, Overhead ratio, Average latency and Hop count

    Full text link
    This paper proposes a novel energy-efficient multimedia delivery system called EStreamer. First, we study the relationship between buffer size at the client, burst-shaped TCP-based multimedia traffic, and energy consumption of wireless network interfaces in smartphones. Based on the study, we design and implement EStreamer for constant bit rate and rate-adaptive streaming. EStreamer can improve battery lifetime by 3x, 1.5x and 2x while streaming over Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G respectively.Comment: Accepted in ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications (ACM TOMCCAP), November 201

    Feasibility Analysis of the Algorithms: Secured and Efficient Routing Path Update in Software Defined Networking (SDN)

    Get PDF
    Software-defined networking is the talk of the town in today’s networking industry. Because of the limitations of traditional networking, SDN is getting more popular every year. Lots of researches are taking place to improve the efficiency and overcome the challenges of SDN though it has many advantages. Hence one key problem of SDN is the network update. If the route update does not perform well, it causes congestion and inconsistencies in the network system whereas bandwidth utilization and security is our main concern. We have compared two pre-built algorithms especially for routing path update and proposed a new algorithm with maximum security and loop-free network

    Full Charge Capacity and Charging Diagnosis of Smartphone Batteries

    Full charge capacity (FCC) refers to the amount of charge a battery can hold. It is the fundamental property of smartphone batteries that diminishes as the battery ages and is charged/discharged. We investigate the behavior of smartphone batteries while charging and demonstrate that battery voltage and charging rate information can together characterize the FCC of a battery. We propose a new method for accurately estimating FCC without exposing low-level system details or introducing new hardware or system modules. We further propose and implement a collaborative FCC estimation technique that builds on crowd-sourced battery data. The method finds the reference voltage curve and charging rate of a particular smartphone model from the data and then compares with those of an individual device. After analyzing a large data set towards a crowd-sourced rate versus FCC model, we report that 55 percent of all devices and at least one device in 330 out of 357 unique device models lost some of their FCC. For some old device models, the median capacity loss exceeded 20 percent. The models further enable debugging the performance of smartphone charging. We propose an algorithm, called BatterySense, which utilizes crowd-sourced rate to detect abnormal charging performance, estimate FCC of the device battery, and detect battery changes.Peer reviewe

    Local Level Collaborative Governance for Pandemic Responses: Unpacking A Case in Bangladesh

    Get PDF
    Responsive governance during the COVID-19 pandemic became a severe challenge for countries worldwide. With a relatively poor healthcare structure, Bangladesh performed moderately well in managing the first wave of the pandemic (March-December 2020). With substantive policy and decision-making support from the Centre, local governments collaborated with various relevant actors to enhance their pandemic-related services. In this background, this research used an integrative framework to study a case of local-level collaborative governance-the Saturia Model. Based on the authors' experience, reflections and review, this analysis explores various socioeconomic and environmental factors behind the effectiveness of this collaboration in containment policies and providing support services to vulnerable groups. Findings indicate that coordination between state and non-state actors, resource mobilization, access and communication, community engagement and the adaptative capacity of the government are vital for making such collaborations work in a crisis. The lessons are valuable for prospective understanding and policy interventions

    The Impact of Cluster Farming Approach in Simplification of Shrimp (Penaeus monodon) Marketing Channel of Paikgachha Upazila

    A research study has been undertaken on shrimp marketing channel of Paikgachha upazila and its simplification process by cluster farming approach of WorldFish Center. The objectives of the study were to investigate the stakeholders involved in both existing shrimp marketing and simplified marketing channel and also determine the efficacy of cluster farming on good price and better raw materials quality. Study area possessed a complex marketing channel having at least eight stakeholders from production to processor namely, shrimp farmer; foria; local depots; large depots; aratdar, paikar; sub-agent; commission agents and exporter/processor thus flow of shrimps from gher to processors take about 20-30 hours that ultimately deteriorates the shrimp quality. This beset has been solved rather simplified through managing local depot works as partner NGO (PNGO) of WorldFish Center. The findings of the study revealed that the cluster farming approach simplified the marketing channel considerably than before. The farmers in the clusters received better price from their harvested shrimp without involvement of middlemen which resulted high quality of raw-materials with better price. Keywords: WorldFish Center, PNGO, cluster farming, foria, aratdar, paika

    Get PDF
    Exploiting both LTE and Wi-Fi links simultaneously enhances the performance of video streaming services in a smartphone. However, it is challenging to achieve seamless and high quality video while saving battery energy and LTE data usage to prolong the usage time of a smartphone. In this paper, we propose REQUEST, a video chunk request policy for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) in a smartphone, which can utilize both LTE and Wi-Fi. REQUEST enables seamless DASH video streaming with near optimal video quality under given budgets of battery energy and LTE data usage. Through extensive simulation and measurement in a real environment, we demonstrate that REQUEST significantly outperforms other existing schemes in terms of average video bitrate, rebuffering, and resource waste.Peer reviewe
