KFOA: K-mean clustering, Firefly based data rate Optimization and ACO routing for Congestion Control in WSN

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is assortment of sensor nodes proficient in environmental information sensing, refining it and transmitting it to base station in sovereign manner. The minute sensors communicate themselves to sense and monitor the environment. The main challenges are limited power, short communication range, low bandwidth and limited processing. The power source of these sensor nodes are the main hurdle in design of energy efficient network. The main objective of the proposed clustering and data transmission algorithm is to augment network performance by using swarm intelligence approach. This technique is based on K-mean based clustering, data rate optimization using firefly optimization algorithm and Ant colony optimization based data forwarding. The KFOA is divided in three parts: (1) Clustering of sensor nodes using K-mean technique and (2) data rate optimization for controlling congestion and (3) using shortest path for data transmission based on Ant colony optimization (ACO) technique. The performance is analyzed based on two scenarios as with rate optimization and without rate optimization. The first scenario consists of two operations as k- mean clustering and ACO based routing. The second scenario consists of three operations as mentioned in KFOA. The performance is evaluated in terms of throughput, packet delivery ratio, energy dissipation and residual energy analysis. The simulation results show improvement in performance by using with rate optimization technique

Incidence of Helminth Parasites in Fresh Water Fishes from Sina Kolegoan Dam, Dist. Osmanabad (MS) India

This study was conducted to determine the incidence of helminth parasitic infections of Fresh water fishes from Sina kolegoan Dam, Dist. Osmanabad (MS). Total 286 samples of fresh water fishes were collected from different sites of Dam, during the month of June 2008 to May 2010. There were about 289 helminth parasites found in collected samples. The encountered parasitic species includes Senga spp., Circumoncobothrim spp., Azygia spp., Isoparorchis spp., Camallanus spp

Development and Validation of UV-Visible Spectrophotometric Method for Simultaneous Determination of Eperisone and Paracetamol in Solid Dosage Form

Purpose: Eperisone Hydrochloride (EPE) is a potent new generation antispasmodic drug which is used in the treatment of moderate to severe pain in combination with Paracetamol (PAR). Both drugs are available in tablet dosage form in combination with a dose of 50 mg for EPE and 325 mg PAR respectively. Methods: The method is based upon Q-absorption ratio method for the simultaneous determination of the EPE and PAR. Absorption ratio method is used for the ratio of the absorption at two selected wavelength one of which is the iso-absorptive point and other being the λmax of one of the two components. EPE and PAR shows their iso-absorptive point at 260 nm in methanol, the second wavelength used is 249 nm which is the λmax of PAR in methanol. Results: The linearity was obtained in the concentration range of 5-25 μg/mL for EPE and 2-10 μg/mL for PAR. The proposed method was effectively applied to tablet dosage form for estimation of both drugs. The accuracy and reproducibility results are close to 100% with 2% RSD. Results of the analysis were validated statistically and found to be satisfactory. The results of proposed method have been validated as per ICH guidelines. Conclusion: A simple, precise and economical spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of EPE and PAR in pharmaceutical formulation

Aahar Vidhi Vidhan Shastrokta Vivaran

Now a days lifestyle disorders are challenging issues in front of the world. It is all because of our changed lifestyle. Many researches were conducted already and many are going now to find the solution for the lifestyle disorders. And ultimately all researches results that change in dietary habits, following proper code and conduct for eating food is most effective treatment. And since from thousands of years, Ayurveda believes that Aahar itself is Mahabheshaj[1] for all the disease only when it is properly cooked and consumed according to rules. Proper maintenance of Jatharagni is also mainly depend on proper Aahar only.[2] Traditional way of eating and serving the food plays important role in treatment of these disorders

Applied aspects of Yoga Darshana with special reference to Charaka Samhita

It is said that Ayurveda is itself a Darshana. Hence the ultimate aim of the Ayurveda is same as Darshana i.e. Moksha Prapti. Aachrya Charaka says that “Yogomoksha Pravartaka” it means Yoga is one of the important Marga for Moksha Prapti. The detail description of Yoga is given by Yoga Darshana. Ayurveda and Yoga Darshana will carry lots of similarity in their basic principles. There are many scattered references of applied aspects of Yoga Darshana in Charaka Samhita. The present study will give a glance on these scattered references

Production of He-4 and (4) in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S=2.76 TeV at the LHC

Results on the production of He-4 and (4) nuclei in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 2.76 TeV in the rapidity range vertical bar y vertical bar <1, using the ALICE detector, are presented in this paper. The rapidity densities corresponding to 0-10% central events are found to be dN/dy4(He) = (0.8 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.3 (syst)) x 10(-6) and dN/dy4 = (1.1 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.2 (syst)) x 10(-6), respectively. This is in agreement with the statistical thermal model expectation assuming the same chemical freeze-out temperature (T-chem = 156 MeV) as for light hadrons. The measured ratio of (4)/He-4 is 1.4 +/- 0.8 (stat) +/- 0.5 (syst). (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe
