Channels Reallocation In Cognitive Radio Networks Based On DNA Sequence Alignment

Nowadays, It has been shown that spectrum scarcity increased due to tremendous growth of new players in wireless base system by the evolution of the radio communication. Resent survey found that there are many areas of the radio spectrum that are occupied by authorized user/primary user (PU), which are not fully utilized. Cognitive radios (CR) prove to next generation wireless communication system that proposed as a way to reuse this under-utilised spectrum in an opportunistic and non-interfering basis. A CR is a self-directed entity in a wireless communications environment that senses its environment, tracks changes, and reacts upon its findings and frequently exchanges information with the networks for secondary user (SU). However, CR facing collision problem with tracks changes i.e. reallocating of other empty channels for SU while PU arrives. In this paper, channels reallocation technique based on DNA sequence alignment algorithm for CR networks has been proposed.Comment: 12 page

Cross Layer Aware Adaptive MAC based on Knowledge Based Reasoning for Cognitive Radio Computer Networks

In this paper we are proposing a new concept in MAC layer protocol design for Cognitive radio by combining information held by physical layer and MAC layer with analytical engine based on knowledge based reasoning approach. In the proposed system a cross layer information regarding signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) and received power are analyzed with help of knowledge based reasoning system to determine minimum power to transmit and size of contention window, to minimize backoff, collision, save power and drop packets. The performance analysis of the proposed protocol indicates improvement in power saving, lowering backoff and significant decrease in number of drop packets. The simulation environment was implement using OMNET++ discrete simulation tool with Mobilty framework and MiXiM simulation library.Comment: 8 page

Efficiency of organic pesticides, turmeric (Curcuma longa) and neem (Azadirachta indica) against dry fish beetle (Dermestes sp.) during storage condition

Efficacy of turmeric (Curcuma longa) and neem (Azadirachta indica) or repelling dry fish insects (Dermestes sp. adult and larva) was investigated on the basis of their repellency rate, storage quality, sensory attributes of turmeric and neem treated dry fish and their cooked products. Pesticides prepared from turmeric and neem, were used in the form of extract and powder. The extracts were tested at the concentrations of 2%, 3%, 5% for turmeric and 3%, 5%, 7% for neem. Turmeric and neem powder were used for treatment at the rate of 2.0%, 3%, 4.0% upon 100 g dry fish. Repellency rate of Dermestes sp., adults was highest, where larvae showed mere resistance against herbal pesticides. Pesticides prepared from turmeric were more repellent than neem pesticides. Control and treated dry fish had almost similar sensory attributes after the 2nd month. However, odor, texture, general appearance and insect occurrence of control dry fish decreased significantly after 4th month of storage but all those parameter of treated dry fish were nearly unchanged. However, sensory quality of dry fish treated with turmeric and neem were remain unchanged after the 4th month. The results suggested that 3% extract and powder of turmeric or neem at the rate of 5% extract and 3% powder can be used as suitable field doses for direct application in dry fish to prevent insect infestation during storage of dry fish products

Age and growth of hilsa shad, Tenualosa ilisha (Hamilton, 1822) of the river Tentulia in Bangladesh

This study was carried out on age and growth of hilsa shad, Tenualosa ilisha in river Tentulia in Bhola district using monthly samples from January to December 2009 by checking annual rings or growth checks on hard parts. Age and growth of T. ilisha got progressed by direct fit of length frequency data both to standard and to modified von Bertalanffy growth models with ELEFAN I procedure where the predicted maximum total length were (TL∞) 41.88 cm for male and 52.40 cm for female. Powell-Wetherall procedure gave an initial asymptotic total length (TL∞) for both male and female 40.42 cm, 50.61 cm respectively. The values of Z/K were 3.362 for male and 2.626 for female. The growth co-efficient (K) was obtained as 1.40 year-1 for male and 1.00 year-1 for female. The von Bertalanffy growth equations in terms of body weight (BW) for both male and female were BWt=799.26[1-exp{-1.40(t+0.002)}]3 and BWt=1717.82[1-exp{-0.99(t+0.013)}]3 respectively. The length-weight relationship for both sexes were BW=0.0101 TL 3.02 for male and BW=0.0086 TL 3.08 for female. The value of coefficient of determination (R2) was estimated for both male and female species were 0.969 and 0.968

Pond fish culture and socio-economic status of fish farmers in Parbatipur upazila of Dinajpur district, Bangladesh

This study investigates the socio-economic conditions of the fish farmers and aquaculture status in Parbatipur of Dinajpur district during May to October 2016. Majority of the fish farmers belonged to the age group of 31 to 40 years (44.3%) and represented by 68.6% Muslims. Among them 40% had secondary level of education and most of the families were nuclear (64.3%). Farmers were involved in fish culture as their primary (24%) and secondary occupation (53%). Over 80% of the farmers had electricity facilities and 41% of them received health services from the village doctors. Only 9% of the fish farmers received formal training on fish culture. The average aquaculture pond size was 0.18 ha, where 84% ponds were perennial. The average stocking density was 23208 fingerlings ha–1 whereas organic fertilizer, urea and TSP were applied at 8665.4 kg ha–1 yr–1, 210.1 kg ha–1 yr–1 and 133.5 kg ha–1 yr–1 respectively. Pre and post stocking liming doses were 205.7 kg ha–1 yr–1 and 138.4 kg ha–1 yr–1 respectively. Necessary training facilities with institutional supports, credit facilities and extension services could play an important role in improving the fish production

Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter -- Current Status and Developments

The discovery and characterization of hot and dense QCD matter, known as Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), remains the most international collaborative effort and synergy between theorists and experimentalists in modern nuclear physics to date. The experimentalists around the world not only collect an unprecedented amount of data in heavy-ion collisions, at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in New York, USA, and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland but also analyze these data to unravel the mystery of this new phase of matter that filled a few microseconds old universe, just after the Big Bang. In the meantime, advancements in theoretical works and computing capability extend our wisdom about the hot-dense QCD matter and its dynamics through mathematical equations. The exchange of ideas between experimentalists and theoreticians is crucial for the progress of our knowledge. The motivation of this first conference named "HOT QCD Matter 2022" is to bring the community together to have a discourse on this topic. In this article, there are 36 sections discussing various topics in the field of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and related phenomena that cover a snapshot of the current experimental observations and theoretical progress. This article begins with the theoretical overview of relativistic spin-hydrodynamics in the presence of the external magnetic field, followed by the Lattice QCD results on heavy quarks in QGP, and finally, it ends with an overview of experiment results.Comment: Compilation of the contributions (148 pages) as presented in the `Hot QCD Matter 2022 conference', held from May 12 to 14, 2022, jointly organized by IIT Goa & Goa University, Goa, Indi

MUSiC : a model-unspecific search for new physics in proton-proton collisions at root s=13TeV

Results of the Model Unspecific Search in CMS (MUSiC), using proton-proton collision data recorded at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1), are presented. The MUSiC analysis searches for anomalies that could be signatures of physics beyond the standard model. The analysis is based on the comparison of observed data with the standard model prediction, as determined from simulation, in several hundred final states and multiple kinematic distributions. Events containing at least one electron or muon are classified based on their final state topology, and an automated search algorithm surveys the observed data for deviations from the prediction. The sensitivity of the search is validated using multiple methods. No significant deviations from the predictions have been observed. For a wide range of final state topologies, agreement is found between the data and the standard model simulation. This analysis complements dedicated search analyses by significantly expanding the range of final states covered using a model independent approach with the largest data set to date to probe phase space regions beyond the reach of previous general searches.Peer reviewe
