An Encounter Based Routing Mechanism to Improve Delivery Ratio and Reduced Overhead Ratio in Opportunistic Networks
Abstract: OPPNETs (Opportunistic Networks) are wireless networks that have sporadic network connectivity, thus rendering the existence of instantaneous end-to-end paths from a source to a destination difficult or impossible. Hence, in such networks, message delivery relies heavily on the store-and-forward paradigm to route messages. However, limited knowledge of the contact times between the nodes poses a big challenge to effective forwarding of messages. In this paper, EBR (encounter based routing) is …

Cooperation Based Mechanism to Contrast Black Hole Attack in DTN
Abstract: AbstractDelay tolerant network (DTN) has intermittent node connectivity and nodes are highly mobile. Most often DTN behaves abnormally due to the presence of various malicious nodes and because of challenging environment they try to gain the benefit of presenting itself as a normal node. In this thesis, we focused on black hole attack. A black hole node silently removes or drops the packets without acknowledging the source and destination. When …

Development of an Active Catheter Mechanism using IPMC for in vivo Inspection
Abstract: An active catheter mechanism designed and developed for body parts (interiors, oral) inspection using active polymeric actuator i.e. ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC). The first step is achieved by fabricating the low cost silver (Ag) electrode IPMC following the chemical decomposition method. When a voltage is applied, the catheter yields a transverse movement; at the same time can exhibit forward and backward motion enables it to inspect wide range of …

¬¬¬Lycopene Protects Testes and Epididymal Sperm in BPA Exposed Adult Sprague-Dawley Rats
Abstract: Bisphenol A (BPA) is ubiquitous and persistent environmental contaminant. Previous studies proved that BPA disrupt hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis and oxidative balance. Numerous studies have clearly been reported that oxidative stress leads to male infertility by affecting testes and spermatozoa. On the other hand, lycopene has beneficial role on testes and spermatozoa by reducing the oxidative stress. Therefore, this study was conducted to delineate the protective role of lycopene by acting against …
