Unani's Perspective on Melancholic Imbalance
Abstract: Unani medicine believed that the human body was composed of three main components—solid organs, liquid humours, and gaseous pneuma. The liquid substances in the body, known as akhlat, are the collection of humours. Each humours do something specific and general works. The balance of black bile (sawda) is essential for maintaining a healthy body, as excess or deficiency can lead to debilitating illnesses. This highlights the crucial role that black …

Detection and Prevention of Grey-hole Attack in MANET
Abstract: The basic thing for keeping communication between mobile nodes in a harmful environment is security. Due to changing topology of MANET, it is usable to both, pernicious attackers and proper network users. Within the existence of deadly nodes, one of the leading threats in MANET is to outline the robust security resolution that can keep MANET from certain routing attacks. Indeed, these outcomes are not fitting for MANET resource constraints, …
