As a result, some unlucky sensor nodes (SNs) become dead quickly; thereby, network lifetime reduces drastically. To overcome this problem, in this paper, a new cluster-based routing protocol- Energy-Aware Threshold Sensitive Stable Election Protocol (EATSEP) is presented for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In the EATSEP protocol, the CH selection is an optimum process where the initial and residual energy of each SNs are considered within a heterogeneous SNs energy environment. Additionally, our proposed EATSEP protocol has managed to reduce long-distance transmission by routing data among CHs to the base station. In our present study, we have simulated the EATSEP protocol through MATLAB to compare its performance with other popular protocols under some well-known performance metrics. The experimental results indicate that the network stability of the EATSEP protocol improves by 80.81, 66.41, and 27.06 %, respectively, compared to the low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH), Stable Election Protocol (SEP), and Threshold Sensitive SEP under a particular setting. In terms of energy consumption and network throughput, the EATSEP is also superior to other protocols.","PeriodicalId":16984,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86484866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several approaches are there for protection of data when transmitted through the network channel, cryptography is one of them. Cryptography is a technique to hide original and confidential information from intruder. Considering information security principles i.e. confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA-triad) an efficient, portable, dynamic, and simple, artificial neural network (ANN) based cryptography algorithm have been presented in this paper. A multi-substitution tree parity machine (TPM) approach is used here to generate dynamic single digit secret key. The secret key created by the tree parity machine will be different in each phase of execution. This single digit dynamic secret key is used in the proposed encryption and decryption techniques. The complexity and execution time taken by the proposed algorithm is improved comparing to the existing algorithms. The proposed algorithm provides higher reliability and robustness in terms of security because of it dynamic nature.","PeriodicalId":16984,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"390 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76451911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The seasonal mixing ratio of CO showed the highest value in post-monsoon (1.71 ppmv) and lowest during monsoon (0.79 ppmv). The seasonal trend of NOX showed highest in winter (56.8 ppbv) and lowest in monsoon (22.5 ppbv). The monthly mixing ratios of O3, CO, and NOX showed distinct variability, which may be attributed to changing anthropogenic activities, planetary boundary layer processes, and local meteorology. O3 was significantly related to temperature but inversely associated with relative humidity and wind speed. The association between CO, NOX with relative humidity, temperature, wind speed showed discrete results.

Current diagnostic methods of BRD rely on subjective visual signs and physical examination, which are suboptimal. This study, therefore, aims to find a blood-based gene expression signature for the diagnostic identification of BRD in cattle. The Gene Expression Omnibus dataset, GSE152959, was downloaded and used for analysis. The analyses performed included differential gene expression (DGE), clustering and machine learning prediction. Ninety genes were differentially expressed in BRD samples compared to controls. The GSE150706 dataset was used as the test dataset for machine learning prediction. The DEGs identified clustered the GSE150706 samples with good accuracy. For the machine learning prediction, 92 % of correctly predicted samples were obtained using twenty genes as features. Therefore, the identified 20-gene expression signature has BRD diagnostic utility in cattle. This signature could potentially be used to develop standardized and reliable diagnostic tests of Bovine Respiratory Disease in cattle. Improved diagnostics will lead to early detection and treatment, reducing the health and economic costs associated with the disease. Further validation in larger cattle cohorts is required.","PeriodicalId":16984,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85690782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Synthesis of alkoxy substituted acetanilides via conventional thermal methods involves multi-step processes, formation of side products, and the poor yield of desired products. But, the vast literature studies reveal that electroorganic synthesis of alkoxy substituted acetanilide derivatives would be effectively carried out through electrochemical oxidation methods. The direct substitution of the ethoxy (alkoxy) group onto the aromatic ring, an electrophilic substitution, has not been attempted so far. This concept is taken as a preparatory attempt to find an alternative method to the tedious chemical route and to invent a direct method of introducing the ethoxy groups into the aromatic ring in a single step. A polarization study on acetanilide with ethanol as an electrolyte is carried out on platinum and graphite anodes to find out the oxidation potentials. Electrochemical ethoxylation of acetanilide at the platinum electrode is done by the Potentiostatic method using the oxidation potentials. The products are separated using preparative TLC and purified with suitable solvents. The products are characterized by UV, IR, NMR, and Mass spectra.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":16984,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77015451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EPE was prepared via ultrasound-assisted extraction method employing ethanol as an extraction solvent, then reconstituted in water. The total phenolic content, anthocyanin content, and antioxidant activity of EPE in an organic and aqueous solvent were determined. In EPE, the major anthocyanin, delphinidin-3-rutinoside, was quantified via LC-MS/MS. The agar well diffusion assay and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination method were used to analyze the antibacterial activity of EPE against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhimurium. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the total phenolic content, anthocyanin content, and antioxidant activity of EPE when reconstituted in water. The inhibition zones of EPE (at 100 mg/mL concentration) ranged from 15.6 to 21.6 mm, whereas MIC ranged from 2.34 to 4.68 mg/mL against all tested bacteria. The lower values of MIC for B. cereus and S. aureus indicated that EPE was more effective for gram-positive bacterial strains. The water-reconstituted EPE with significant antioxidant and antibacterial activity would have potential food industrial applications, like food packaging, nutraceuticals, and functional foods.","PeriodicalId":16984,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73906937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existence of neuroglia cells similar to vertebrate microglia and small mobile phagocytes and hemocytes were documented from ganglia of some invertebrate animal models like leech (H. medicinalis), insects (P. americana and D. melanogaster) and mollusca (M. edulis). Neuronal replacement and migration of immunocompetent cells (macrophage, microglia, ependymal cells etc.) after surgical lesions in CNS of non-mammals (fishes, reptiles and aves) are much restricted to specific neurogenic niches associated to the neural regeneration and migration of cells in invertebrates. Microglial presence is largely restricted in the optic tract of fish and amphibian ganglionic cells because they have a surprising capacity to regenerate their neurons after lesions. Hence the CNS of both invertebrates and vertebrates contain microglia like mononuclear phagocytes, ensheathing glia and reticular glia, which indicate about the evolutionary conserved innate immune response to maintain CNS development and health. But the presence and gradual changes in the structure and function of microglia and neuron-microglia relationship in the CNS along the phylogeny need to be focused thoroughly.","PeriodicalId":16984,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89761475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
