A Break in the Clouds: Towards a Cloud Definition

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) form a new and interesting area in the world of remote health monitoring. An important concern in such networks is the communication between the sensors. This communication needs to be energy efficient and highly reliable while keeping delays low. Mobility also has to be supported as the nodes are positioned on different parts of the body that move with regard to each other. In this paper, we present a new cross-layer communication protocol for WBANs: CICADA or Cascading Information retrieval by Controlling Access with Distributed slot Assignment. The protocol sets up a network tree in a distributed manner. This tree structure is subsequently used to guarantee collision free access to the medium and to route data towards the sink. The paper analyzes CICADA and shows simulation results. The protocol offers low delay and good resilience to mobility. The energy usage is low as the nodes can sleep in slots where they are not transmitting or receiving.

The most famous wireless sensor networks is one of the cheapest and rapidly evolving networks in modern communication. It can be used to sense various substantial and environmental specifications by providing cost-effective sensor devices. The development of these sensor networks is exploited to provide an energy-efficient weighted clustering method to increase the lifespan of the network. We propose a novel energy-efficient method, which utilizes the brainstorm algorithm in order to adopt the ideal cluster head (CH) to reduce energy draining. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the BrainStorm Optimization (BSO) algorithm is enhanced with the incorporation of the modified teacher–learner optimized (MTLBO) algorithm with it. The modified BSO–MTLBO algorithm can be used to attain an improved throughput, network lifetime, and to reduce the energy consumption by nodes and CH, death of sensor nodes, routing overhead. The performance of our proposed work is analyzed with other existing approaches and inferred that our approach performs better than all the other approaches.

Artificial intelligence techniques in refrigeration system modelling and optimization: A multi-disciplinary review

The recognition and classification of objects in images is a emerging trend within the discipline of computer vision community. A general image processing problem is to decide the vicinity of an object by means of a template once the scale and rotation of the true target are unknown. Template is primarily a sub-part of an object that‟s to be matched amongst entirely different objects. The techniques of template matching are flexible and generally easy to make use of, that makes it one amongst the most famous strategies of object localization. Template matching is carried out in versatile fields like image processing,signal processing, video compression and pattern recognition.This paper gives brief description of applications and methods where template matching methods were used. General Terms Template matching,computer vision,image processing,object recognition.

QoS-based energy-efficient protocols for wireless sensor network

Mobility of users and enhancement of bandwidth have been characterizing factors for the global telecommunication development which also witnessed improvements in services. If user needs to send some information over the prescribed bandwidth with dure reliability then the (QOS) Quality of services becomes more critical and seeks expected performance. A Mobile Adhoc Network is self-possessed combination of mobile nodes. It has to be self-structured. These are mobility extensions into wireless domain and autonomous mobile dominion. In this set of specified nodes which form adhoc network with routing infrastructure too. Multicasting is responsible for transferring information efficiently from a source to any destination; duplication of messages and delivery takes place only once and that too at the branch points, due to splitting of the destination links. The authors have successfully been able to address several issues relating to MANET, especially multicasting, its routing protocols and qualitative comparisons. Further, in this paper, we particularly focused on implementation as well as performance analysis of multicast routing protocols like AODV, MAODV using network simulator NS3. By using the performance parameter such as average end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio (PDR) and routing-overhead.

Aim This study was aimed at evaluation of antioxidative activity, protein profile, and vitamins content of milk of Gaddi goats, local non-Gaddi goats, hill cattle, and Jersey crossbred cattle. Materials and Methods Total phenol, antioxidant activity measured as 2, 2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity, total protein, and vitamins were estimated in milk samples by spectrophotometric methods. Milk protein profiles were studied by sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Results Total phenol, antioxidant activity, and total protein were higher in indigenous hill cattle skim milk. Average protein content in raw skimmed milk was 1.33±0.01, 1.03±0.02, 0.76±0.05, and 0.81±0.01%, in indigenous hill cattle, Jersey crossbred cattle, non -Gaddi goat, and Gaddi goat, respectively. Three proteins of 19.01, 22.08, and 32.96 kDa were observed in Gaddi goat, but not in non -Gaddi goat skim milk. Furthermore, the above proteins were absent in cattle skim milk. Two proteins of 15.56 and 25.06 kDa were found in local hill and crossbred cattle skimmed milk, but were absent in goat skimmed milk. Vitamin C content was the lowest in Gaddi goat milk and the highest in Jersey crossbred cattle milk. Conclusion It is envisaged that bioactive metabolites in the milk of Gaddi goats and hill cattle might offer anti-aging and beneficial health effects.
