    Advancements in IoT-based applications have become the cutting-edge technology among researchers due to the wide availability of the Internet. In order to make the application more user-friendly, Android-based and Web-based technologies have become increasingly important in this cutting-edge technology. Smart cities, Internet of Things(IoT), Smart health care systems are the technology of the future. A combination of numerous systems focusing on monitoring different components of the smart city (such as water, e-health, gas,  power monitoring and emergency scenario detection) can be used to make the city more sustainable and secure. In smart cities, energy consumption is particularly important for e-health. An optimization approach is provided in this paper to reduce total network energy usage. When compared to previous methods, the overall performance has improved by 57.89%

    The opportunities for researchers are enhanced with the progression in the technology of communication and computing. The ease in life of many people like farmers, educators, administers, managers, etc., is increased with more inventions of the researchers using this new technology. The progressive technology for data management is providing more amount of information. However, is the user able to access the needed information when required? This question rises to the more questions like, how to identify whether the information is as per the requirement? Whether a user is authorized or not? The answer for all the questions is to make the support aware of the context. Therefore, the present technology needs to be modified to make the system aware about the context. The process of demonstrating the services based on the context using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) with the help of illustration on mango crop is emphasized in this paper. There are many serious problems like unsuitable fertilizer use, wrong selection of crops in wrong seasons, water waste, poor publicizing in the case of farming. These problems are addressed using the ubiquitous context aware middleware architecture for precision agriculture in mango crop

    Performance Comparison between Nonidentical Segmented Exponential Concave and Nonidentical Segmented Exponential Convex Serrated CATRs

    This paper presented a theoretical and numerical assessment for nonidentical segmented exponential- (NISE-) convex and NISE-concave serrated plane CATRs by changing number of serrations. The investigation was based on diffraction theory and, more specifically, on the diffraction formulation of Fresnel. The compact antenna test range (CATR) provides uniform illumination within the Fresnel region to the test antenna. Application of serrated edges has been shown to be a good method to control diffraction at the edges of the reflectors. In this paper, the Fresnel fields of NISE-convex and NISE-concave serrated CATRs are analyzed using physical optics (PO) technique. The PO analysis is applied in this paper for plane reflector serrated CATR only. The same analysis is applied to any type of reflector. In this paper, lens-based reflector is not considered. It is observed that NISE-concave serrated CATR gives less ripple and enhanced quiet zone width than NISE-convex

    Block-Chain-Based Vaccine Volunteer Records Secure Storage and Service Structure

    Accurate and complete vaccine volunteer’s data are one valuable asset for clinical research institutions. Privacy protection and the safe storage of vaccine volunteer’s data are vital concerns during clinical trial services. The advent of block-chain technology fetches an innovative idea to solve this problem. As a hash chain with the features of decentralization, authentication, and resistibility, blockchain-based technology can be used to safely store vaccine volunteer clinical trial data. In this paper, we proposed a safe storage method to control volunteer personal /clinical trial data based on blockchain with storing on cloud. Also, a service structure for sharing data of volunteer’s vaccine clinical trials is defined. Further, volunteer blockchain features are defined and examined. The projected storage and distribution method is independent of any third person and no single person has the complete influence to disturb the processing.

    A review on study of Electrokinetic stabilization of expansive soil

    Get PDF
    Needless to elaborate the harmful effects of the Expansive soil on the light-weight structures, as it is a very common problem faced by the Structural and Geotechnical engineers all over the world. In INDIA, the site having BlackCotton soil force the local engineers to think differently in order to find a way which can improve the ground condition very efficiently. One solution, which is not used worldwide, is the Electrokinetic Treatment which uses the principle of Electroosmosis, Electromigration and Electrocementation, and has been proved the best for fine grained soil. Till now, inadequate studies have been done to prove its efficiency in using it for the expansive soil. Apparently, there may be some reasons why the researchers don't consider this technique useful in such soils. This paper includes the whole and sole of this treatment reckoned from the past studies and its scope in implementation with Expansive soils. Experimental study, both in field and laboratory, followed by its analysis using available software packages, is required to decide the factors of this treatment influencing expansive soil

    Secure Communication Model for Dynamic Task Offloading in Multi-Cloud Environment

    Get PDF
    As the data is increasing day-by-day, the mobile device storage space is not sufficient to store the complete information and also the computation capacity also is a limited resource which is not sufficient for performing all the required computations. Hence, cloud computing technology is used to overcome these limitations of the mobile device. But security is the main concern in the cloud server. Hence, secure communication model for dynamic task offloading in multi-cloud environment is proposed in this paper. Cloudlet also is used in this model. Triple DES with 2 keys is used during the communication process between the mobile device and cloudlet. Triple DES with 3 keys is used by the cloudlet while offloading the data to cloud server. AES is used by the mobile device while offloading the data to the cloud server. Computation time, communication time, average running time, and energy consumed by the mobile device are the parameters which are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, SCM_DTO. The performance of the proposed system, SCM_DTO is compared with ECDH-SAHE and is proved to be performing better

    ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF PARACETAMOL BOOSTED BY CAFFEINE??

    Get PDF
    Paracetamol (acetaminophen) with caffeine is a combination medicine indicated for the temporary relief of pain and discomfort associated with a number of conditions such as headache or muscle pain. Paracetamol has a narrow safety margin and there are number of risks associated with paracetamol. It is only safe and effective when used according to directions on OTC (Over- The-Counter) and Rx labelling. However, long-term use of paracetamol increases the risk of kidney and liver failure and makes people more vulnerable to high blood pressure and strokes.  Chronic or excessive administration of caffeine has been implicated in a range of dysfunctions involving the liver, renal system, gastrointestinal system, and musculature. A patient taking the combination of paracetamol with caffeine may be more likely to experience adverse effects than to get improved analgesia, compared with paracetamol alone.
