On Link Availability Probability of Routing Protocols for Urban Scenario in VANETs
This paper presents the link availability probability. We evaluate and
compare the link availability probability for routing protocols; Ad hoc
On-demand Distance vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Fisheye
State Routing (FSR) for different number of connections and node density. A
novel contribution of this work is enhancement in existing parameters of
routing protocols; AODV, DSR and FSR as MOD-AODV, MOD-DSR and MOD-FSR. From the
results, we observe that MOD-DSR and DSR outperform MOD-AODV, AODV, MODOLSR and
OLSR in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Average End-to End Delay (AE2ED),
link availability probability at the cost of high value of Normalized Routing
Overhead (NRO).Comment: IEEE Conference on Open Systems (ICOS2012)", Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,

Effect of pairing correlations on incompressibility and symmetry energy in nuclear matter and finite nuclei
The role of superfluidity in the incompressibility and in the symmetry energy
is studied in nuclear matter and finite nuclei. Several pairing interactions
are used: surface, mixed and isovector dependent. Pairing has a small effect on
the nuclear matter incompressibility at saturation density, but the effects are
significant at lower densities. The pairing effect on the centroid energy of
the isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance (GMR) is also evaluated for Pb and Sn
isotopes by using a microscopic constrained-HFB approach, and found to change
at most by 10% the nucleus incompressibility . It is shown by using the
Local Density Approximation (LDA) that most of the pairing effect on the GMR
centroid come from the low-density nuclear surface.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
Prediction and Optimization of Compressive Load of a Green Composite Material from Natural Fiber Using Statistical Approach
In the area of technological advancement, environmental awareness are always drawing the attention of the scientists for eco-friendly and recyclable products. Different kinds of composite materials are available in the world fabricated from different materials. Natural composite fabricated from natural fiber are attracted the researchers because of their unique characteristics like bio-degradable, availability, non-toxic nature etc. In this study, a new composite materials of epoxy matrix reinforced with three different fillers (banana fiber, jute fiber and jute fabricate bio-degradable polythene) have been prepared by die molding process. Different cylindrical block have been made using different types of fiber size with equal weight ratio and different weight ratio of fiber and epoxy resin. The center composite design protocol along with the response surface method has been adopted for compression testing of composite materials. A quadratic model has been proposed to predict the compressive load of the molded green composite materials within five levels of the two process parameters. Statistical tools are used for best fitting of the developed quadratic model and desirability analysis is coupled with it in order to find out the optimum process condition for which maximum compressive load is achieved. It has been observed that grain size more than 1 mm and the weight ratio between fiber and resin close to 50% shows the better compressive strength for this particular composite material within this experimental limit
