An Efficient and Dynamic Path Reconstruction in Wireless Networks
In Big-scale multi-hop wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for informationgathering is the ability of monitoringper-packet routing paths at the destination is essential in better understanding network dynamics, and better routingprotocols, topology control, energy consumption, duplicate detection, and load balance in WSN deployments. Wefirst devise a basic Routing Topology Recovery (RTR) algorithm with the measurement metric of modularsummation and illustrate how basic RTR algorithm works the path determining process from source to destinationfor data transmission is generally known as routing. In most WSNs routing of incoming data can be determined bythe network layer. The SNs at the source cannot reach the sink node directly in multi-hop networks, henceintermediate SNs need to relay their respective packets. Mainly the routing path of every packet is helpful inunderstanding the network performance.We present SANA secure Ad hoc Network Architecture. Its goal lies inmanaging adaptively preventive, reactive and tolerant security mechanisms to provide essential services even underattacks, intrusions or failures. The results reveal that our approach significantly outperforms other state-of-the-artmethods including MNT, Pathfinder, and CSPR. Furthermore, we validate our method intensively with a real-worldoutdoor WSN deployment running collection tree protocol for environmental data collection
Intergenerational communication on sexuality and HIV/AIDS: Exploring feasibility of building effective youth-adult partnerships to reduce young people\u27s HIV vulnerabilities
In India, over one-third of all reported AIDS cases occur among people aged 15–24 years. Young people need competencies to navigate daily-life situations and engage in productive activities, and the relationships they form with adults and peers are the source of support and guidance critical to the development of their competencies. The peer-based approach is integral to sexual health and HIV-prevention programs for youth. However, in some settings, program and policy directions have been hampered by adult beliefs of what young people should be permitted to know. Recent projects show that working on changing the norms and beliefs of adults in the community facilitates work with youth. However, program strategies remain ad-hoc possibly because of a lack of a clear and agreed-upon set of conditions to suggest the need for, as well as inform the design and implementation of, an intergenerational approach. This brief presents findings from a study that addresses this gap by documenting existing patterns of, and barriers to, intergenerational communication on sexuality and HIV/AIDS. It also provides information for designing interventions that promote effective youth-adult partnerships to address HIV risk
