Utilizing the protected learning calculation method to forestall the Black Hole Attacks in Mobile ad-hoc networks

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are a gathering of portable hosts which speak with each other with no focal system power or altered foundation. Because of its attributes like portability furthermore, heterogeneity ad-hoc networks are more defenseless to assaults. Black hole is an assault where every one of the bundles sent to assailant hub, by neighboring hubs, are dropped purposefully. In this thesis, we propose a secure learning calculation method which intends to identify and securing the black hole by considering the bundle drop reasons in needless mode. Presented AODV direction convention is adjusted to distinguish and securing the black hole assault. The investigation results demonstrate that our proposed calculation secure the AODV against black hole assault in MANETs

Guided Missile with an Intelligent Agent

Guided missiles involve the use of a conventional deviated pursuit course like proportionalnavigation algorithm and its variants, which is optimal when the speed advantage of the guided missile is veryhighandthe target maneouvering is minimal. Against the present-day aircraft,whichemploys fly-by-wire technology for high maneouverability andhigh speed, missiles needto have amuchhigher speed advantage or to use a combination of artificial intelligence and modern controlalgorithms. Results of simulation of pursuit and evasion with an autonomous intelligent agentincorporated in the control loop are presented

Dyeing of silk using Madhuca longifolia as natural dye source

The dried leaves of Madhuca longifolia has been evaluated for their potential as a source for natural dyeing of silk. Dye has been extracted under optimum conditions such as extraction pH (10), time (60 min) and temperature (95̊°C). The extracted dye has been applied on the silk fabrics and a range of shades are obtained using different methods with or without using mordants. It is found that mordants have a significant effect on the color of dyed silk fabrics. The dyed samples have been evaluated for color measurements and standard wash, light and rub fastness tests. The extracted dye is also tested for some of the eco-parameters using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and GC/MS. The test results are compared with set standards to determine the eco-friendliness of natural dye. Their concentrations are found to be lower than the stipulated limits. The dyed samples are also tested for antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The dyed silk fabrics show acceptable fastness properties and are found to possess antibacterial activity. The results show that Madhuca longifolia leaves are promising as a natural colorant, which would, in turn, pave the way for the discovery of a new range of environment-friendly dyes for textile materials

Crystal structure of [4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-6-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-yl](thiophen-2-yl)methanone

The title compound, C[subscript 26]H[subscript 18]F[subscript 3]N[subscript 3]O[subscript 2]S, a 2-meth­oxy-substituted derivative, is closely related to its 4-methyl- and 4-chloro-substituted analogues and yet displays no structural relationships with them. The thio­phene ring is disorder free and the -CF[subscript 3] group exhibits disorder, respectively, in contrast and similar to that observed in the 4-methyl- and 4-chloro-substituted derivatives. The torsion angle which defines the twist of the thio­phene ring is -69.6 (2)° (gauche) in the title compound, whereas it is anti­clinal in the 4-methyl- and 4-chloro-substituted derivatives, with respective values of 99.9 (2) and 99.3 (2)°. The absence of disorder in the thio­phene ring facilitates one of its ring C atoms to participate in the lone inter­molecular C-H...O hydrogen bond present in the crystal, leading to a characteristic C(5) chain graph-set motif linking mol­ecules related through glides along [010]. An intra­moleculr C-H...N hydrogen bond also occurs

MulPSSM: a database of multiple position-specific scoring matrices of protein domain families

Representation of multiple sequence alignments of protein families in terms of position-specific scoring matrices (PSSMs) is commonly used in the detection of remote homologues. A PSSM is generated with respect to one of the sequences involved in the multiple sequence alignment as a reference. We have shown recently that the use of multiple PSSMs corresponding to an alignment, with several sequences in the family used as reference, improves the sensitivity of the remote homology detection dramatically. MulPSSM contains PSSMs for a large number of sequence and structural families of protein domains with multiple PSSMs for every family. The approach involves use of a clustering algorithm to identify most distinct sequences corresponding to a family. With each one of the distinct sequences as reference, multiple PSSMs have been generated. The current release of MulPSSM contains ∼33 000 and ∼38 000 PSSMs corresponding to 7868 sequence and 2625 structural families. A RPS_BLAST interface allows sequence search against PSSMs of sequence or structural families or both. An analysis interface allows display and convenient navigation of alignments and domain hits. MulPSSM can be accessed at

Effect of graphite particulate on mechanical characterization of hybrid polymer composites

Quest for producing lightweight and biodegradable materials has encouraged researchers to replace synthetic fibers with natural fibers. Hence a study is made to investigate the effects of introducing secondary reinforcement (natural fibers), stacking sequence, and addition of graphite particles on the mechanical characteristics and water uptakes along with diffusivity of hybrid (glass\jute) composites. Different weight fractions of graphite particulates are incorporated into the epoxy to produce different samples having 4 plies for each sample by hand layup vacuum bagging method. The obtained specimens are subjected to various mechanical tests, water absorption tests as per the ASTM standards, and optical microscopy was used to study the fracture morphology of the samples. The results displayed that the properties are deteriorated a little with the addition of secondary reinforcement, however they have improved with the addition of graphite. E-Glass as skin layer and treated jute as core layer composite exhibits ameliorate tensile strength (201.5 MPa), compression strength (515.12 MPa), flexural strength (106.9 MPa), hardness (25 BHN). However highest impact energy of 26 J is recorded for the sample with jute as skin layer and E-Glass as the core layer. Water absorption tests revealed that the addition of graphite has reduced the water absorption in the hybrid samples

A NOVEL REPEATED DISINTEGRATED ALGORITHM FOR RB MULTIPLICATION TO OBTAIN MAX OUTPUT

Within this paper, we've suggested a manuscript recursive decomposition formula for RB multiplication to acquire high-throughput digit-serial implementation. Through efficient projection of signal-flow graph (SFG) from the suggested formula, a very regular processor-space flow-graph (PSFG) comes. Redundant basis (RB) multipliers over Galois Field( ) have acquired huge recognition in elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) mainly due to their minimal hardware cost for squaring and modular reduction. It's proven the suggested high-throughput structures are the most useful one of the corresponding designs, for FPGA and ASIC implementation. By determining appropriate cut-sets, we've modified the PSFG superbly and carried out efficient feed-forward cut-set retiming to derive three novel multipliers which not just involve considerably a shorter period-complexity compared to existing ones but additionally require less area and fewer power consumption in comparison using the others. The synthesis recent results for field gate array (FPGA) and application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) realization from the suggested designs and competing existing designs are in comparison. It's proven the suggested designs are capable of as much as 94% and 60% savings of area-delay-power product (ADPP) on FPGA and ASIC implementation over the very best of the present designs, correspondingly. Both theoretical analysis and synthesis results read the efficiency of suggested multipliers within the existing ones
