In non-real time applications, the size of the surveillance area would require a Mobile Sinks (MS) to collect data periodically. This kind of networks is easily vulnerable to Mobile Sinks (MS) replicated attack. To solve this issue (M, m) authentication scheme is proposed against the replicated attack. Existing work failed to ensure the presence of attacker node, thus the prevention of attacker node in the initial iteration would become very difficult task. As well as M neighbour node selection is selected based on neighbour node information alone which increases the possibility of intrusion of attacker node. So the detection of the attacker node initial itself reduces the information loss and increases the authentication. To solve this issue, Trust based Node Filtering (TNF) is introduced which assign trust values to each nodes which will avoid the less trusted neighbour nodes which cannot be utilized for the authentication process thus the secured data transmission can be guaranteed. At the same time to detect the nodes is whether attacker or normal node, attack detection is performed based on the Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). In this work secured key generation is performed by introducing the Hybrid RSA and Elgamal algorithm. In this work honey pot server is introduced to control the authentication task wherein the existing work authentication is performed through the single node alone for every neighbor node. The analysis and simulation results indicate that the scheme can improve networks� resilience against MS replicated attack as compared with existing schemes

True autonomous systems for off-road vehicles are the most important requirements for future military and rescue operations. At any point, an Autonomous All-Terrain Vehicle (AATV) will get instruction to reach the destination location defined by the geographical coordinates. AATV should estimate a path and move towards its destination using GPS However the Finding GPS signal consistently anywhere in the off-road is difficult due to huge attenuation. As a result, estimating the right path is difficult. Hence the autonomous vehicle may go around a long loop or travel a huge distance to reach its destination. Existing INS technologies has some limitation which is also improved in this research work. AATV clusters are used in defence, Agriculture, rescue, Line of Control monitoring, hazards material management, etc. For example, AATV clusters can be deployed in Line of control monitoring, large scale plantation, disaster management/ rescue operation. In this research work, the effort is made to develop a true AATV with optimum path, so the time to reach the destination and energy spent is reduced drastically. In a critical mission, the battery-operated vehicles have become a very useful one. However, if the battery discharged in mid of operation the total operation itself will fail. Hence the efficient use of energy is most important. An effort was made to increase the efficiency of path estimation observed. \nAATV clusters are used in defence, Agriculture, rescue, Line of Control monitoring, hazards material management etc. Even though each AATV facilitated with Own GPS, in situation when there is lack of sufficient GPS signal the Position information of the AATV is completely wrong and the resulting information is useless or it is misguided. For example, in a LOC monitoring these type of error may lead to concentrate on another location where there is nothing instead of the area under thread. There are so many research has been done and came up with so many methodology,

The aim of the paper is to assess the significance of the level of safety to Millennials from Central and Eastern Europe, measured by the importance of the security measures implemented in accommodation facilities and tourist attractions. It is examined whether the tourists\' gender and the economic stimulus in the form of reduced travel costs are factors which influence the evaluation of the significance of safety measures and the perception of risk in the era of war with terrorism. The findings indicate that security measures improve the safety and quality of the tourist experience for respondents from the studied countries, but there are differences in the type of security measures accepted by tourists from individual countries. Motivated to reduce travel costs, they are more willing to accept a lower level of safety during travel. The research also indicated that the assessment of security measures varies, depending on the tourists\' gender.

Reusing and recycling agricultural waste holds a high potential of reducing global environmental pollution. One way of using agricultural waste is exploring its application in concrete as coarse aggregate. Waste coconut shell (CS) is the most abundant waste material in India and has been successfully used by several researchers. In this review physical and mechanical properties of coconut shell concrete are summarized along with its microstructure, durability and structural behavior. This paper reviews research carried out using waste CS as light weight aggregate (LWA). Structural and mechanical properties of the light weight coconut shell concrete (LWCSC) are found to be relatively good compared to commercial normal weight concrete (NWC). Waste coconut shell can be used to produce medium to high strength concrete. It is felt that detailed review, about investigations of lightweight geopolymer coconut shell concrete prepared using waste coconut shell, is required to firmly understand their mechanical behavior and microstructural properties.

This study aims to see the effectiveness of the Emo Semo method approach to children\'s knowledge and behavior about the importance of CTPS before and after counseling. This study uses a quasi-experimental design method with One Group Pretest Postest Design. Sampling of respondents was carried out by a total sampling method of 105 respondents divided into three islands (Pulau Lae-lae, Barrang Lompo, and Lumu-lumu). The results showed differences in the level of knowledge before and after the intervention (p = 0.002) on Lae-lae Island and Barrang Lompo, and on Lumu-lumu Island (p = 0.625) there were no differences. There were differences in attitudes before and after intervention in Lae-lae Island (p = 0,000) and Barrang Lompo Island (p = 0.002), and in Lumu-lumu Island (p = 1,000) there was no difference.

The objective of the study was to find out the economic potential of the use of pig feed ration based on agriculture and food industry wastes and the performance of the pig production in starter, grower and finisher phases. It used 12 starter pigs, 4 grower pigs and 4 finisher pigs. The pigs were of local breed of Papua. They were given feed treatments in all of the phases at the ratios of commercial feed to the feed made of the agricultural and food industry wastes of 100% commercial feed: 0% wastes, 75% commercial feed: 25% wastes, 50% commercial feed: 50% wastes, and 25% commercial feed: 75% wastes. All of the feeds were formulated using iso energy and iso protein methods in accordance with the need for the feed at each of the growing phases of the pigs. The results of the study showed that there was not any significant impact on the performance in terms of average daily gain and vital statistic of body length and body circumference of the pigs at all of the phases. However, there was a significant difference among the feed costs among the treatments. The waste feed was able to significantly reduce the feed up to 62.49%. Based on the results of the study, it could be recommended that the pig ration made of the agricultural and food industry wastes might be given as the replacement of the commercial feed. The waste-based ration might be used in rearing pigs up to 28 weeks of age to obtain positive profit.

The impact of ebusiness adoption on business performance has not been specifically addressed in the literature. The success of ebusiness adoption in incumbent companies depends on internal organizational processes in which two opposing forces, flexibility and resistance to change, play determining roles. Our results show that the adoption of ebusiness has a positive influence on return on sales (ROS), and that HR flexibility is a determining factor in responding to the problems of technological misalignment. Surprisingly, resistance to change is not decisive.

Background: Evidence of subjective visual vertical (SVV) modulation with ageing is inconclusive and time-related factors of SVV have received little attention. \nAims To explore any age-related differences in accuracy and time-related measures of SVV in simple and complex visual frame contexts on the computerized rod and frame test.\nMethods. 30 young males and of 29 older adults were assessed for SVV perception. For each individual, SVV errors from vertical and the time for rod alignment were recorded for four trials per four different frame configurations. \nResults: Older adults had greater error variability and required longer time for rod alignment except for the left tilted frame. They exhibited greater alignment time variability (iIVTime) in both frameless and left tilted frame configuration. Greater iIVTime during left-tilted frame configuration was associated with smaller errors for the young adults, but with larger errors for the older group. \nConclusions: Graviceptive pathways are maintained intact with ageing, but the greater response times and greater inconsistency in time of rod alignment may be limiting for older adults when rapid decisions need to be made for postural corrections. There may be age-dependent differences in engagement of visuospatial attention to the left visual field during CRFT.

This paper elucidates the development of an efficient and economic Portable Conveyor System to address the deficit of labor force especially at the time of post-harvest for small and medium scale farmers wherein large-scale mechanization is infeasible. The post-harvest loads are slung onto the trolleys that move (roll) on horizontal Stainless Steel pipes which in turn are supported by collapsible steel base support structures. Static and dynamic behavior of 1D parametric model of the portable conveyor system was studied to identify the extreme loading conditions and the optimal parameter values for pitch (d = 2m) and velocity (v = 0.25 to 0.75 m/s) of trolleys, and span of the beam (L = 5m) that allow permissible dynamic deflection were identified. Three dimensional finite element analysis of the parametric model of frame structure was studied for the worst case loading in order to identify an optimal and robust design. Further, a full scale prototype was fabricated and the same was displayed at Indian Council of Agricultural Research – National Research Centre for Banana (ICAR-NRCB) Trichy, Tamil Nadu, India.

The fundamental target of this venture is to plan walk investigation framework and recognize the stride parameters, for example, step, walk, rhythm, hip point knee edge and so on.) utilizing diverse sensors(such as flexiforce sensor, accelerometer).Then these parameters will be contrasted and standard worth and dissecting whether the subject having typical step design or irregular stride design. Walk examination gets created step by step in view of its significance. These days wounds to legs are happening much of the time so the stride example of the individuals will be changed. Walk parameter will be known to dissect the step design. Stride parameter will be estimated by the step investigation framework. In the walk examination framework the parameters like advance, walk, step separation, knee and hip edge are estimated. Here flexiforce sensor and accelerometer will be utilized to quantify the step parameter. flexiforce sensor have most extreme opposition when there is no heap. This sensor will be set in the meta tarsal head (MTH) and in the impact point of the shoe or shoe. At the point when the heel strikes the ground the sensor will getting some heap so the opposition of the flexiforce sensor will lessen and voltage will increment. By utilizing this voltage, step, walk, step length will be estimated. By utilizing the accelerometer the point of hip and knee will be estimated. At that point in the wake of getting these walk parameters, the estimations of the stride parameter will be contrasted with the standard step parameters esteem. At that point we dissect that the walk examination framework working appropriately or not.

Radar emitter recognition technology is an important research content in the field of ECM intelligence analysis. Its level is an important symbol to measure the advanced level of information processing technology of electronic reconnaissance system and reconnaissance equipment. Aiming at the problems of low recognition rate and difficult feature extraction of radar emitters, a classification and recognition method based on multi-layer bidirectional LSTM is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the radar waveform is normalized to obtain the envelope information, then the envelope front is aligned, and then the envelope information processed is fed into the training model of LSTM network for feature extraction. The classifier is a Support Vector Machine (SVM) optimized by particle swarm optimization particle filter (PSO-PF) algorithm. Finally, the extracted features are fed into the SVM to realize offline training and online recognition of radar individuals. The method has well robustness, excellent computational complexity and high recognition rate in the case of low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). The simulation results show that when the SNR 8 dB, the overall recognition rate of the three radars can reach 96.9%.At10dB,therecognitionrateis100%.

In order to reduce the PSLL (Peak Side-Lobe Level) of sparsely distributed circular array and reduce the number of array elements, in this paper, a modified differential evolution algorithm based on RMCT (Recombination of Margin Code Technique) is proposed. This paper proposes an improved differential evolution algorithm based on RMCT. The algorithm takes PSLL as the optimization index, and uses the angle constraint of each position between the thin circular array elements to reduce the search space from [0°,360°] to [0,360°-N*dc], which improved the search efficiency. At the same time, the adaptive mutation method is used instead of the initial mutation, which is beneficial to retain high-quality genes. According to the characteristics of the population after mutation, the recombination space of the margin coding in the iterative process is dynamically updated, which is convenient for searching the optimal solution of the distribution of array elements. The simulation results show that compared with other algorithms, the algorithm can obtain lower PSLL and accelerate the convergence speed, which has certain practical significance.

Sleep stage detection is a critical step to assist physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of related sleep disorders. Although the results of existing methods for sleep scoring are promising, the improvement for these methods is also desirable. In this paper, a novel framework using electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) based on a hierarchical decision method for sleep stage detection is proposed. This hierarchical decision method was obtained by a hierarchical decision method and used to classify sleep stages, combining support vector machines (SVMs) and convolutional neural networks (CNN). The SVM was applied to distinguish whether it is awake employing EOG in the first stage, and a further analysis can be achieved by EEG signal. Overall, compared with expert scoring, the result shows that the best performance of the proposed frame has achieved 90.36%, which is higher than traditional methods. The promising results of the proposed method demonstrated that the performance of our framework is a valuable alternative to existing automatic methods, and the sleep scoring can be further fine-tuned by the expert.
