Equivalence Between Energy Content And Weight In A Weak Gravitational Field For A Quantum Body[Full-Text ] Dr. Luiz Carlos Costa NetoIt is shown that weight operator of a composite quantum body in a weak external gravitational field in the post-Newtonian approximation of the General Relativity does not commute with its energy operator, taken in the absence of the field. Nevertheless, the weak equivalence between the expectations values of weight and energy is shown to survive at a macroscopic level for stationary quantum states for the simplest composite quantum body - a hydrogen atom. Breakdown of the weak equivalence between weight and energy at a microscopic level for stationary quantum states can be experimentally detected by studying unusual electromagnetic radiation, emitted by the atoms, supported and moved in the Earth gravitational field with constant velocity. For superpositions of stationary quantum states, a breakdown of the above mentioned equivalence at a macroscopic level leads to time dependent oscillations of the expectation values of weight, where the equivalence restores after averaging over time procedure.

Energy Efficient Protocol for Co-operative Networks[Full-Text ] Mr. Rajesh K M, Dr. Manjunatha Rao LWireless sensor network is the collection of sensors where all the sensors are interconnected to perform a common function co-operatively. Here sensors are considered as nodes which have computing capability with some memory. Energy utilization in wireless network is the main consideration because one main constraint in these types of networks is limited source of energy. Therefore protocols designed for these networks should be energy efficient. Wireless networks are based on co-operative transmission technique. In general data can be transmitted directly between neighboring nodes. But if there are intermediate nodes between source and destination, co-operation among the nodes are required to transmit the data. In this paper, a new protocol called as energy efficient protocol is designed. Here a packet is transmitted only once per hop, thus reducing the energy consumption.

Performance Analysis of Crime Images Using CROI with JPEG & WAVELET[Full-Text ] SejalThakkar, Yogesh DangarThe basic goal of ROI based compression for Crime images is to enhance the compression efficiency for transmission and storage [2]. Sometime Crime images compression addresses the issues of larger storage and faster transmission requirements. Here ROI compression of Crime images aims at compressing the diagnostically important region in forensic lab, region of interest (ROI) of an image with supreme quality as compared to rather unimportant area i.e. the background. Thus, the ROI area is compressed with less compression ratio and the background with the highest possible compression ratio in order to get better overall compression performance. As a part of ROI compression technique CROI with JPEG and WAVELET compression algorithms have been implemented using MATLAB. A detailed analysis on the basis of parameters like CR, mean square error (MSE), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and COC has been carried out to evaluate these algorithms. With the use of ROI approach and JPEG algorithm, a PSNR of 34.72 for crime has been achieved with extremely good quality of image area.

Qos Provisioning in Wireless ad-hoc Networks[Full-Text ] Biswa Ranjan Barik Wireless ad-hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network where the devices are PDAs, cell phones, sensors, laptop etc. The Network is ad-hoc because it does not rely on a preexisting infrastructure, such as routers in wired network or access points in managed (infrastructure)wireless networks. The node can transmit data to another node if it is within its frequency range. Each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes, and so the determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically based on the network connectivity.

A Lossless Watermarking Using Histogram Shifting Algorithm[Full-Text ] Asst. Prof. Gauri Mahabaleshwar Samant, Asst.Prof.Rhicha JambhaleThe watermarking of digital images, audio, video and multimedia products are used for copyright ownership and verifying originality of contents. Domain wavelet transform used in the visible watermark does not provide security for watermark. Visible watermark methods do not provide safety for both watermark and carrier image. To overcome that , lossless watermarking using histogram shifting algorithm is proposed. The carrier image carries watermark . The carrier image can be stored lossless after the extraction of watermark from it. Histogram Shifting algorithm is used to embed watermark logo in the carrier image . By using the Rijndael algorithm , the error is spread to the entire image. So the illegal user can not access the watermark image from carrier image. This algorithm can guarantee the quality of the image and safety of watermark. Add Roundkey and shift rows transformation provides more security for encryption than other methods.

Faulty Node Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Cluster[Full-Text ] Srikanta Kumar SahooSince the accuracy of data is important to the whole system's performance, detecting nodes with faulty readings is an essential issue in network management. Removing nodes with faulty readings from a system or replacing them with good ones improve the whole system's performance and at the same time prolong the lifetime of the network. In general, wireless sensor nodes may experience two types of faults that would lead to the degradation of performance. One type is function fault, which typically results in the crash of individual nodes, packet loss, routing failure or network partition. The other type of error is data fault, in which a node behaves normally in all aspects except for its sensing results, leading to either significant biased or random errors.

Novel Hamming code for error correction and detection of higher data bits using VHDL[Full-Text ] Brajesh Kumar Gupta, Rashmi SinhaHamming code is familier for its single-bit error detection & correction capability. To provide such a capability, it introduces 4 redundancy bits in a 7-bit data item. These redundancy bits are to be interspersed at bit positions (n = 0, 1, 2, 3) with the original data bits. After error detection & correction, if any, the data bits have to be reassembled by removing the redundancy bits. In the proposed improvement, the redundancy bits will be appended at the end of data bits. This eliminates the overhead of interspersing the re-dundancy bits at the sender end and their removal at the receiver end after checking for single-bit error and consequent correction, if any. Further the effort needed in identifying the values of the redundancy bits is lower in the proposed novel method. Hamming code is normally used for transmission of 7-bit data item. Scaling it for larger data lengths results in a lot of overhead due to interspersing the redundancy bits and their subsequent removal. In contrast, the proposed method is highly scalable without such overhead. Hence, this feature is suitable for transmission of large size data bit-streams with much lower redundancy bits per data bit ratio. In this paper we have proposed an efficient and novel Hamming Code algorithm, for finding error location and correction to optimize the load on receiver end and reduce delay in the circuit. Simulation is done using Xilinx 9.2

Improving resilience and revocation by mitigating bad mouthing attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks[Full-Text ] K.Vijaya, Dr.M.SelvamSensor networks can be deployed in hostile environments where adversaries may be present. Since wireless sensor networks usually need to be controlled remotely by the network operator, they are often deployed in an unattended manner. The unattended nature of wireless sensor networks can be exploited by attackers. Specifically, an attacker can capture and compromise sensor nodes and launch a variety of attacks by leveraging compromised nodes. There are so many existing schemes to identify the malicious node and they could not provide the way to revoke them. The proposed scheme solves how to revoke the compromised nodes by using reputation based Credence management scheme, which incorporates a new scheme called SPRT. By using this Credence based management scheme a secure network can be established for secure communication among wireless nodes.

Geotechnical Behaviour of Fine Sand Mixed with Pond Ash and Lime[Full-Text ] Shilpi Gupta, Prateek Negi, Ashok GuptaThe present work has been carried out to study the effect of lime and pond ash on geotechnical behaviour of fine sand. Fine sand found in deserts and near sea shores is not readily suitable for supporting buildings and roads, as it is loose and vulnerable to collapse upon wetting. Fine sand having high permeability and low shear strength is also not suitable for earthen dam construction. For the same reasons, fine sand is not suitable for constructing landfill liners and covers. The disposal of pond ash from power plants has been a major environmental concern over a period of last few decades. In presence of moisture, pond ash reacts with lime and forms cementitious compounds which can be used to increase the strength of weak soil.

An Efficient screening Control for enhanced Security [Full-Text ] Vijay Venkat Raaj.S, Kavitha.M Today, network based security is one of the important concerns for both organizations and individuals. They are needed to monitor and control the traffic that crosses into and out of their networks to prevent attacks from both the network as well as organization perspective. Thus, firewall forms a crucial component in the defense mechanisms of every private network connected to the internet. Thus, it can be considered the first filtering device that sees IP packets that attempt to enter a network from outside and the last device to let out packets as well. It's like a security system that uses policies to make filtering decision on every packet that crosses it: whether to let it or drop it. Packet matching in firewalls involves matching on many fields from the TCP, UDP and IP packet header like, packet's source and destination IP address, protocol and source, destination port numbers. This paper proposes an algorithm of computational geometry which solves the point location problem, with a linear space requirement and a reduced search time. In such situation, usage of overlapping hyper-rectangles is done, firewall administrators uses intersection and difference operations on sets of IP addresses or port numbers and then implement over the incoming and outgoing packets, since firewall rules often overlap each other, which is the solution for the problem so that it would be faster and efficient in nature.

Scattering of Water Waves in an Ocean with Uniform Porous Bed by a Surface Discontinuity Due to Inertial Surfaces in Presence of Surface Tension[Full-Text ] Subhabrata Gangopadhyay, Uma BasuThe phenomenon of scattering of water waves by a surface discontinuity over uniform porous sea-bottom of finite depth is investigated in the framework of linearized water wave theory. The surface discontinuity is thought of as originating due to two vast floating inertial surfaces of different materials having different densities. The inertial surfaces are considered to be subject to surface tension. The eigen function matching technique is used as the method of solution. Hydrodynamic parameters of interest such as reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained by employing residue calculus method. These coefficients are computed numerically by considering different values of the porosity parameter and for a fixed value of surface tension and the results are depicted graphically.

Simple Error Detection Method[Full-Text ] Sachin GuptaIn any communication system, the received signal will differ from the transmitted signal due to various transmission impairments. For analog signals, these impairments introduce various random modifications that degrade signal quality. For digital signals, bit errors are introduced: A binary 1 is changed into a binary 0 and vice versa. Increase in data rate of a digital transmission system increases the bit error rate. Longer the digital data, the more bits it has and the probability that one of these bits is in error increases. At the receiving end of a digital transmission system, it is always desirable to receive data with fewer bit errors. This motivates the use of error- detection techniques. Various types of error detection techniques and codes are used. Some are used for detection of single bit errors and some are for burst errors or multiple bit errors. In this paper, a simple error detection technique is proposed by which a receiver can easily detect most types of bit errors i.e. both single bit and multiple bit errors. The proposed technique is based on a basic arithmetic operation i.e. counting. By counting the total number of 1's and 0's in the binary data to be transmitted, we can detect the errors in the received data. The performance of the proposed simple error detection technique is evaluated by comparing it with the existing techniques i.e. parity check, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) and checksum. This paper also discusses about the shortcomings of this simple error detection technique.
