Time-Based Proxy Re-encryption Scheme for Secure Data Sharing in a Cloud Environment

Abstract: In this research paper, we will describe the system model and security model in our scheme and provide our design goals and related assumptions. We consider a cloud computing environment consisting of a cloud service provider (CSP), a data owner, and many users. The CSP maintains cloud infrastructures, which pool the bandwidth, storage space, and CPU power of many cloud servers to provide 24/7 services. We assume that the cloud infrastructures are more reliable and powerful than personal computers. In our system, the CSP mainly provides two services: data storage and re-encryption. After obtaining the encrypted data from the data owner, the CSP will store the data on several cloud servers, which can be chosen by the consistent hash function, where the input of the consistent hash function is the key of the data, and the outputs of the consistent hash function are the IDs of the servers that store the data. On receiving a data access request from a user, the CSP will re-encrypt the cipher text based on its own time, and return the re-encrypted cipher text.

Importance of Pharmacovigilance

Abstract: According to WHO, pharmacovigilance is defined as “science and activities relating to detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug related problem .[1] WHO defines "Adverse Effect" as “any undesirable or unintended consequence of drug administration” [2] . The term Side Effect is often used synonymously but it precisely means unintended additional action of a drug which may even be therapeutically useful. There is no drug without some or other adverse effect .It may develop either immediately or after prolonged use or even after stoppage of drug. Adverse effects are sometimes very rare. Even then, they play an important role in determining the therapeutic use of the drug. It has been estimated that ADRs are responsible for death for nearly 50 out of every 1000 patients admitted to hospitals & cause nearly 5-7% of all hospital admissions.[3].The job of recording & studying these adverse effects is done by pharmacovigilance committee. Unfortunately, In India not all the clinicians & healthcare professionals are aware of this term and its importance. This article enlightens the importance of pharmacovigilance among various health care professionals and some methods to increase its awareness. Keywords— pharmacovigilance (PhV), adverse drug reactions(ADRs), side effects

Collaborative Filtering Recommender System

Abstract: There has been an increase in the number of services available in the internet .Datasets are growing at a fast pace as it is being gathered and generated by a number of devices like smartphones, tablets and various information sensing devices. Traditional data processing methods are ineffective in handling such a huge amount of data related to services within limited time constraints. Most of the present day recommendation systems use structured data. In order to handle the large amount of data relevant to the services and assist a user in selecting a service which is most relevant a collaborative filtering based recommender system is proposed which uses unstructured data. There are three stages in this method. In the first stage porters stemming algorithm is applied ,then clustering is applied on the data, in order to reduce the number of services, in the last stage a filtering approach is used in order to recommend relevant services to the user. As stemming and clustering are applied before filtering recommendations are done at a faster pace. Keywords: stemming, clustering, collaborative filtering, pearson coefficient, recommender system.

Real-Time Transmission Of Voice Over 802.11 Wireless Networks Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract: With increasing demands of Electronics products in the domain of the industrial & Consumer application, it becomes necessary to come up with new ideas of electronic products. In the field of communication, present real-time communication audio transmission uses technologies like WiMax, IEEE 802.11, 3G and Bluetooth. But audio-streaming through Bluetooth or radio waves have drawbacks of range and not secure as intruders can get streamed feed. In this paper a fully-functional embedded device has been proposed which is able to stream or transmit audio in real-time over Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11). This system uses a small credit card sized single board called Raspberry Pi, display, webcam, Wi-Fi and headphone/speakers. This system is a standalone system and does not require any single PC to take or receive the data from camera and headphone/MIC and send to another user. Operating speed of this platform is in 700MHz and it supports live audio streaming. As it has onboard Audio codec, it is possible to connect to user by just accessing the IP address of another user. SSH (Secure SHell) is used for secure data communication, remote command-line login, remote command execution, and other secure network services between two networked nodes.

Global Development of Mushroom Biotechnolgy

Abstract: There are At least 12000 species of fungi that can be considered as mushrooms with at least 2000 species showing various degrees of edibility. To date, only about 35 mushrooms species have been cultivated commercially, and about 20 are currently on an industrial scale. The majority of these cultivated species are both edible and posses certain medicinal properties [6]. Mushrooms are in prime focus in the food industry for their multi-functional benefits. They are gaining popularity owing to their high nutritional values and are gradually approaching a “super food” status. Mushrooms are a rich source of proteins and have very low or zero fat and cholesterol, and hence are widely accepted in most of the regions of the world. Increase in the consumption of processed food across the world is one of the major driving factors of the mushroom market. Being a promising and profitable business, mushroom cultivation is widely adopted by growers. Factors such as R&D and innovations to enhance the acceptability and continuous improving technologies to increase mushroom shelf-life are also projected to drive the mushroom market in the next five years. Technological developments in the mushroom industry in general have witnessed increasing production capacities, innovations in cultivation technologies, improvements to final mushroom goods, and utilization of mushrooms' natural qualities for environmental benefits, mainly due to contributions from developing countries such as China, India, and Vietnam. However, there is always the need to maintain current trends and to continue to seek out new opportunities. The challenge is to recognize opportunities such as increasing consumption capabilities with the increase in world population and to take advantage of this by promoting the consumption of mushrooms. Those countries, in which mushroom cultivation is not yet well established, will find difficulty to cope with the new competitive circumstances generated by globalisation. Some insights into biotechnological development of mushroom production in the world are reviewed in this paper.

A Comparative Study between Waterfall and Incremental Software Development Life Cycle Model

Abstract: Software development life cycle or SDLC for short is a methodology for designing, building, and maintaining information and industrial systems. There are various SDLC models widely used for developing software. SDLC models give a theoretical guide line about development of the software. Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodologies are mechanisms to assure that software meet established requirements. These methodologies impose various degrees of discipline to the software development process with the goal of making the process more efficient and predictable. SDLC models are very important for developing the software in a systematic manner such that it will be delivered within the time deadline and should also have proper quality. Each SDLC has its advantages and disadvantages according to which we decide which model should be implemented under which conditions. In the present scenario all software systems are imperfect because they cannot be built with mathematical or physical certainty. According SDLC each and every model has the advantage and drawbacks. The concept of system lifecycle models came into existence that emphasized on the need to follow some structured approach towards building new or improved system. For this we need to compare SDLC models. In this paper we will compare two different famous life cycle models like-waterfall model & incremental model. Keywords: Increment model, waterfall model, Software engineering, Software process model and Softwar e

Link Stability in Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Abstract: Providing an efficient, robust and low overhead path from source node to destination node in MANETs is a critical issue due to frequent change in the network topology and mobility of the node (which cause frequent change in radio link). Hence it is necessary to check the node stability with respect to node mobility during path establishment .path. Many routing algorithms, proposed for ad-hoc network, are based on source routing scheme. When a route is broken in source routing, route recovery and maintenance procedure are executed, these procedure consume many resources. To minimize route breaking, it important to find a route that endures longer time. Shortest path route has short lifetime especially in high dense ad-hoc network. Some routing protocol such as SSA and ABR are considering the link stability and try finding more stable route. The stability is computed by using the parameters such as received power, distance between neighboring nodes and link quality that is assessed using bit error in a packet. The proposed scheme is simulated over a large number of MANETs nodes with wide range of mobility and the performance is evaluated. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with two well-known mesh based multicast routing protocol, i.e. on demand multicast routing protocols(ODMRP) and enhance on demand multicast routing protocol(EODMRP) It is observed that the proposed scheme produce better packet delivery ratio, reduces packet delay and reduced overheads. This paper also proposes a method to find the stability factor of a node by considering self and neighbor node stability. The stability factor of a node may be used to establish a path from source to destination. The stable nodes in the path will provide higher packet delivery ratio and lower latency. We have tried to show link stability and node stability under the influence of varying node speeds and number of nodes. Key words : MANETs, Stability factor, Link stability, node stability, SSA and ABR

Analysis of Plate Girder Bridge for Class-AA Loadings (Tracked Vehicles)

Abstract: A bridge is a means by which a road, railway or other service is carried over an obstacle such as a river, valley and other road or railway line, either with no intermediate support or with only a limited number of supports at convenient locations. Strength, safety and economy are the three key features that cannot be neglected before the finalization of types of bridges. While deciding the types of bridge, spans and other parameters are to be studied carefully to meet out the need of suitability to site conditions. The scope of this thesis is to confine to the design aspect related to variable parameters. Depth of web, thickness of web, width of flange and span of bridges are the variable parameters considered during the design of plate Girder Bridge. The use of steel often helps the designer to select proportions that are aesthetically pleasing. Structural steels have high strength, ductility and strength to weight ratio. Thus it has become the obvious choice for long span bridges as steel is more efficient and economic. Among the various types of bridges plate girder bridges, truss bridges and box girder bridges are more commonly used. As the cost of steel is rising we have to reduce the amount of steel used without affecting the strength of section. In this thesis a plate girder bridge is designed as per the Limit state method using the IS 800:2007, IRC: 24-2000 and analysed by SAP-2000. Basically the Indian standards are derived from the British Standards. The basic concept is the same. Only the values of various parameters vary according to the design and fabrication/ erection practices existing in India. Design calculations are carried out for simply supported single span. Seismic and wind effect is not taken in to account at design stage. To clarify the design procedure and the current state of practice, a comprehensive literature search and survey were conducted. Recommendations pertaining to best practices for planning, design, and construction activities, as well as applications and limitations are also provided. Based on the design results, conclusions are arrived at to know the behaviour of plate girder bridges when designed using Indian code.

Study of the Evaluation of Damage Caused By Tuta Absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelichidae) on Tomato Field in Morocco

Abstract: Tomato crops in the field, suffering the attacks of a new miner: Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) that caused significant losses in production. The insect may cause losses on tomatoes up to 80 to 100%. The larva is the damaging stage of the tomato leafminer. The first attack is observed on the apical parts of the plant, namely leaves and seedlings. This insect can also attack young transplants and even nursery seedlings. The attacks are manifested by the appearance on the leaves whitish galleries (only the epidermis of the leaf remains, the parenchyma is consumed by the larvae) each containing a caterpillar and its droppings. Over time, the galleries become necrotic and turn brown. The caterpillars attack the green fruits like ripe fruit. Tomatoes are necrosis on the calyx or exit holes on their surface. The fruits are then unmarketable and unfit for consumption. The study and evaluation of damage caused by Tuta absoluta on tomato leaves in the field have shown the great danger of this insect for growing tomatoes. Indeed, in the absence of any intervention, in the conditions of the Moroccan Gharb fields, a couple of the pest Tuta absoluta comes to destroy all the leaves of a tomato field with an area of 500 m2 sixty-nine (69) days. Keywords: tomato crop, field, tomato leafminer (Tuta absoluta), Gharb Morocco

Relevant Feature Selection from High-Dimensional Data Using MST Based Clustering

Abstract: Feature selection is the process of identifying a subset of the most useful features that produces compatible results as the original entire set of features. Features provide the information about the data set. In High-dimensional data representation each sample is described by many features. The data sets are typically not task-specific, many features are irrelevant or redundant and should be pruned out or filtered for the purpose of classifying target objects. Given a set of features the feature selection problem is to find a subset of features that “maximizes the learner’s ability to classify patterns”. A graph theoretic clustering algorithm based on boruvka’s algorithm is implemented and experimentally evaluated in this paper. The proposed algorithm works in two steps. In the first step, features are divided into clusters by using graph-theoretic clustering methods. In the second step, the most representative feature that is strongly related to target classes is selected from each cluster to form a subset of features. All the representative features from different clusters form the final feature subset. After finding feature subset accuracy of a classifier, time required for classification and proportion of features selected can be calculated.

An Energy Efficient Multi-Target Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Polygon Tracking Method

Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been considered as a promising system for area surveillance applications. As it moves through a sensor network target tracking has become an increasingly important application in Wireless Sensor Networks. Target detection deals with finding spatial coordinates of a moving object and tracking deals with finding the coordinates and being able to track its movements. Tracking mobile targets using sensor networks is a challenging task. Existing work mostly requires organizing groups of sensor nodes with measurements of a target’s movements or accurate distance measurements from the nodes to the target, and predicting those movements. These are, however, often difficult to accurately achieve in practice, especially in the case of unpredictable environments, sensor faults, etc .In such cases the new tracking framework, called FaceTrack, suits best. FaceTracking employs the nodes of a spatial region surrounding a target, called a face. If a target is detected by a node after a time window, a target is detected by another node. It is assumed to be the same target or single object in FaceTracking method. But it achieves better tracking accuracy and energy efficiency for detecting and tracking single object. This paper proposes a new approach for multi target detection using FaceTracking or polygon tracking method. Simulations are carried out to underline the energy efficiency of the proposed method using NS2.
