    Internet of Things (IoT) has gained its major insight in terms of its deployment and applications. Since IoT exhibits more heterogeneous characteristics in transmitting the real time application data, these data are vulnerable to many security threats. To safeguard the data, machine and deep learning based security systems has been proposed. But this system suffers the computational burden that impedes threat detection capability. Hence the feature selection plays an important role in designing the complexity aware IoT systems to defend the security attacks in the system. This paper propose the novel ensemble of spotted hyena with firefly algorithm to choose the best features and minimise the redundant data features that can boost the detection system's computational effectiveness.  Firstly, an effective firefly optimized feature correlation method is developed.  Then, in order to enhance the exploration and search path, operators of fireflies are combined with Spotted Hyena to assist the swarms in leaving the regionally best solutions. The experimentation has been carried out using the different IoT cloud security datasets such as NSL-KDD-99 , UNSW and CIDCC -001 datasets and contrasted with ten cutting-edge feature extraction techniques, like PSO (particle swarm optimization), BAT, Firefly, ACO(Ant Colony Optimization), Improved PSO, CAT, RAT, Spotted Hyena, SHO and  BOC(Bee-Colony Optimization) algorithms. Results demonstrates the proposed hybrid model has achieved the better feature selection mechanism with less convergence  time and aids better for intelligent threat detection system with the high performance of detection

    The c(2×\times2) reconstruction of (001) PbTiO3_3 surfaces is studied by means of first principles calculations for paraelectric (non-polar) and ferroelectric ([001] polarized) films. Analysis of the atomic displacements in the near-surface region shows how the surface modifies the antiferrodistortive (AFD) instability and its interaction with ferroelectric (FE) distortions. The effect of the surface is found to be termination dependent. The AFD instability is suppressed at the TiO2_2 termination while it is strongly enhanced, relative to the bulk, at the PbO termination resulting in a c(2x2) surface reconstruction which is in excellent agreement with experiments. We find that, in contrast to bulk PbTiO3_3, in-plane ferroelectricity at the PbO termination does not suppress the AFD instability. The AFD and the in-plane FE distortions are instead concurrently enhanced at the PbO termination. This leads to a novel surface phase with coexisting FE and AFD distortions which is not found in PbTiO3_3 bulk

    A post-Newtonian diagnosis of quasiequilibrium configurations of neutron star-neutron star and neutron star-black hole binaries

    Full text link
    We use a post-Newtonian diagnostic tool to examine numerically generated quasiequilibrium initial data sets for non-spinning double neutron star and neutron star-black hole binary systems. The PN equations include the effects of tidal interactions, parametrized by the compactness of the neutron stars and by suitable values of ``apsidal'' constants, which measure the degree of distortion of stars subjected to tidal forces. We find that the post-Newtonian diagnostic agrees well with the double neutron star initial data, typically to better than half a percent except where tidal distortions are becoming extreme. We show that the differences could be interpreted as representing small residual eccentricity in the initial orbits. In comparing the diagnostic with preliminary numerical data on neutron star-black hole binaries, we find less agreement.Comment: 17 pages, 6 tables, 8 figure

    Analysis of socioeconomic status of young migrant farmers in India using probit regression

    Rural-urban migration has been very evident in global population changes in recent decades, especially in India, where migration growth rates are among the highest in the world. Many research articles focused only on the migration of young farmers in India. This article highlights the migration of young farmers from rural to urban areas in Bengaluru, their sustainability, and a survey made on the young farmer’s migration. In this context, the study was conducted in the Bangalore region on the migration of Anantapur young farmers, Andhra Pradesh. This study examines the sustainability of young farmers after migration to urban areas and, based on this objective, to find out young migrant farmers are financially well-being or not. For the purpose of analysis, 500 primary data are collected from the young migrant farmers. The Probit model is employed to assess whether young migrant farmers were economically stable or not. The study’s findings show that young migrated farmers to urban areas are more likely to be unsustainable due to the cost of living and additional costs. Young migrant farmers do not have enough income so they take loans from private lenders to meet their needs

    Prevalence of elongation and calcification patterns of elongated styloid process in south india

    Objective: Very few studies have been reported in the literature classifying the elongation and calcification patterns of styloid process. The present study was done to investigate the prevalence of elongation and calcification patterns of styloid process in patients attending a dental institution in south India. Study design: 600 digital panoramic radiographs of patients with dental problems were obtained from the outpatient department of the Dental institution. The apparent length of the styloid process was measured by a single experienced oral radiologist, with the help of the measuring tools on the accompanying software. The type of elongation and calcification patterns of each elongated styloid process was classified as per Langlai's classification with few modifications. Finally the data was subjected to statistical analysis. Results: Out of 520 measurable styloid processes (260 panoramic radiographs), 154 styloid processes had length greater than 3cm. The mean average length of elongated styloid process was 3.67±0.62 cm. No significant association was obtained between age and length of styloid process. In present study, the type of elongation pattern has no effect on the calcification pattern. Our results suggested that Type I elongated styloid processes were most likely to be completely calcified (type D), but statistically not significant. Conclusion: Type I pattern of elongation was found to be more prevalent in elder age group and was completely calcified in most of the cases. Interestingly, only three patients (out of 260) showed symptomatic elongation of styloid process. A relatively high prevalence of type IV elongation pattern (9 /154) was obtained in the present study, when compared to type III styloid process. Further large scale imaging studies are required to evaluate the presence of type IV elongation pattern in various population groups

    Electronic Excitations and Insulator-Metal Transition in Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Organic Field-Effect Transistors

    Full text link
    We carry out a comprehensive theoretical and experimental study of charge injection in Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) to determine the most likely scenario for metal-insulator transition in this system. We calculate the optical absorption frequencies corresponding to a polaron and a bipolaron lattice in P3HT. We also analyze the electronic excitations for three possible scenarios under which a first-- or a second--order metal--insulator transition can occur in doped P3HT. These theoretical scenarios are compared with data from infrared absorption spectroscopy on P3HT thin film field-effect transistors (FET). Our measurements and theoretical predictions suggest that charge-induced localized states in P3HT FETs are bipolarons and that the highest doping level achieved in our experiments approaches that required for a first-order metal--insulator transition.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures.
