This study analyses the research output in Textile technology during 1988-2012 on several parameters including its growth, ranking of authors, and global publication share,overall share of international collaborative papers and share of major collaborative partners.

Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization for Reliable Data Transmission in WSN

Abstract: The main objective is to propose a reliable framework for data routing in wireless infrastructure without any delays and loss from one end to the other. Therefore, a Reliable Routing through Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (RR_EPSO) is proposed here. The best route is identified from the Gbest nodes through route stability task and Gbest nodes are selected from the node fitness measure process. The node fitness measure is done by evaluating the node's remaining energy level and its maximum availability of bandwidth. Therefore, this method helps in reducing link failures and enhances the network lifetime. This proposed reliable routing protocol also enqueue's the other best alternate route if in case any valid path failure happens. Simulation results are given for the analysis of proposed method and to prove its efficiency in terms of delays and energy level.

Synthesis of Nanocomposites of V₂ O O 5 ©Selenium Nanoparticles and Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Antimicrobial Activity.

Abstract: The authors report the preparation of the nanocomposite comprising of vanadium pentoxide (V₂O5) and selenium (Se) nanoparticles and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (V₂O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs). Since Se NPs possesses extraordinary physicochemical properties including larger surface area with higher adsorption capacity, V₂O5 NPs were adsorbed onto Se NPs surface through physisorption process (designated as V₂O5@Se NPs). The nanocomposite synthesized hydrothermally was evaluated for its antimicrobial activity. The morphology and microstructure of the nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) were employed to analyze the spectral properties of nanocomposite. The microbicidal efficacy of nanocomposite was tested against Gram-negative (G-)ZGram-positive (G+) bacteria and fungus. This is the first report on the synthesis of V₂O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs nanocomposites by chemical method that showed microbicidal effect on micro-organisms. The thiol (-SH) units facilitates the enrichment of V₂O5@Se NPs onto MWCNTs surface. Ultimately, it reflects on the significant antimicrobial activity of V₂O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs.

Edelstein’s Theorem for Cyclic Contractive Mappings in Strictly Convex Banach Spaces

Abstract: In the current paper, we discuss sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of best proximity points for cyclic f- contractive mappings in the setting of strictly convex Banach spaces. E...

A Note on Circular Distance Energy and Circular Distance Laplacian Energy

Abstract: The circular distance energy of a simple connected graph \(G\) is defined as the sum of the absolute values of its eigen values of the circular distance matrix of \(G\). In this paper, the bounds for circular distance energy is obtained. Also the circular distance energy and the circular distance laplacian energy of certain graphs via circular distance energy are derived.
