The world is connected by the internet. It is very useful because we use Google to find out any new topic, to search new places, to quest updated research, and to get knowledge for learnng. The person around the world can communicate with each other through the Google video conference talk. Internet is frequently used in smartphones, laptops, desktop, and tablet. Excessive affinity towards internet-based online data collection, downloading pictures, videos, cyber relationships, and social media may produce addiction disorders followed by different symptoms such as behaviors change, mind disturbance, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite hyperactivity, sleeping disorder, headache, visual fatigueness, trafficking of memory, attention-deficit, loss of efficiency in work and social detachment which may be caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters. This is very difficult to control because of abnormal signal transduction in the brain. The present study is an attempt to discuss internet addiction disorder (IAD), internet gaming disorder (IGD), and give awareness to society to get rid of this addiction.

The advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has created a high throughput platform, to identify disease traits and phenotypic characteristics using RNASeq Sequencing analysis in humans. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a lethal disease accounts for 85 percent of most lung cancers with very small window ofsurvival rate. The decision of tumour image bio marker impression can be improved by gene profile. Hence there is a need to characterise the variants in the disease manifestation. To understand the SNP’s in the major genes responsible for NSCLC, RNASeq data of patients aged above 50 years, were downloaded from SRA database. The quality matrix analysis is mapped to Genome reference consortium human build 38 (GRCh38) to call the variants and identify SNP’s with the tuxedo protocol. The SNP’s and the patterns of variants were analysed to see the comparison between healthy individual and NSCLC patients, and in between patients of different age. Oncogenes commonly associated with the NSCLC like KRAS, EGFR, ALK, BRAF and HER2 were mainly analysed to see the SNP’s and their characterisations with respect to the functional change was done. The SNP’s with the greater quality scores belonging to the above said genes were identified which gives us a baseline to understand the NSCLC at the Genomic level. Further fold change of these genes to the frequency of variant can be mapped to understand the NSCLC at a greater depth.

Position sensorless control technique for Permanent Magnets-Brush Less Direct Current (PM-BLDC) motor drive is considered in this paper. A new estimation based on sensorless technique is proposed for PMBLDC motor. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is aided for the purpose. The inputs to the ANN are the voltages of PM-BLDC motor and it estimates the sample signals to feed Zero Crossing Point (ZCP) detection circuit. The ZCP detection circuit provides ZCP signals for commutation logic which gives the commutation sequence to power switches. In order to provide the correct sample signal to ZCP detection circuit, the ANN is well trained by Genetic Algorithm (GA). The proposed sensor less control model is implemented in MATLAB/SIMULINK working platform. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is used to implement the proposed method. Experimental results verify the analysis and demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method.

Due to the huge development of wireless devices and mobile data traffic had gained attention towards identifying accurate solutions for more proficient utilization of the wireless spectrum. An essential issue confronting the future in wireless systems is to identify the appropriate spectrum bands to satisfy the request of future administrations. While the greater part of the radio spectrum is allocated to various services, applications and users show that spectrum usage is quite low. The spectrum sensing is performed at the start of each time slot before the data transmission. As a promising framework to improve the spectrum utilization, Cognitive Radio (CR) technique has the immense potential to meet such a necessity by permitting unlicensed users to exist together in licensed bands. In this paper Cognitive radio and Full-Duplex (FD) based two-way relay communications are developed to enhance spectrum utilization for multichannel and to decrease the false alarm rate. To solve the optimization problems in spectral efficiency, soft computing techniques is proposed to minimize the self-interference and delay to the licensed users. In this proposed work the kurtosis parameter is used for channel detection to determine whether the signal is present or not. The performance results of the proposed method are evaluated in terms of spectral allocation and outage probability which achieves better performance than the existing Multi- Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) optimization.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are self-configured infrastructure-less networks are comprising of a number of sensing devices used to monitor physical or environmental quantities such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion etc. They collectively transmit data through the network to a sink where it is observed and analyzed. The major issues in WSN are interference, delay and attacks that degrade their performance due to their distributed nature and operation. Timely detection of attacks is imperative for various real time applications like healthcare, military etc. To improve the Black hole attack detection in WSN, Projected Independent Component Analysis (PICA) technique is proposed herewith, which detects black hole attack by analyzing collected physiological data from biomedical sensors. The PICA technique performs attack detection through Mutual information to measure the dependence in the joint distribution. The dependence among the nodes is identified based on the independent probability distribution functions and mutual probability function. The black hole attack isolation is then performed through the distribution of the attack separation message. This supports to improve Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) with minimum delay. The simulation is carried out based on parameters such as black hole attack detection rate (BHADR), Black Hole Attack Detection Time (BHADT), False Positive Rate (FPR), PDR and delay.

In this paper, we present an approach to evaluate the information sharing in the supply chain. We propose a study of four scenarios of sharing upstream and downstream information simultaneously. Replenishment lead time is the upstream information studied in this work and demand information is the downstream one. We treat in this context the case of two-echelon (a warehouse and several retailers) and multi-products supply chain. We focus our approach on the centralised decision, in which, the warehouse is the decision maker and his goal is to minimise the system cost independently. In our formulation, we consider a system cost composed of holding, ordering, penalty and transportation costs. Then, we use a Genetic Algorithm in order to approximate the optimal echelon inventory position at the warehouse and optimal allocation quantity of each item from the warehouse to the respective retailer, which minimises the system cost. Our approach is illustrated by some numerical experiments.
