It is not uncommon to see sensor nodes deployed in an uneven or hilly terrain. This can be found in many parts of Nigeria. In the same vain, sensor nodes may be deployed in very hostile areas such as in northern parts of Nigeria where insurgents are heavily present. In areas such as those stated above, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles can be used for energy-efficient data collection from the scattered sensor nodes. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles operating at low altitudes can be used to lower the energy consumption of the wireless sensor network by using an intelligent data collection methodology to distribute the UAVs for data collection from the nodes. This paper proposes an energy-efficient and optimized data aggregation (EEODA) scheme in UAV-assisted wireless sensor network for hilly and uneven terrain is designed, using UAVs as data collection points. This can be achieved through the following steps, firstly, a distributed clustering algorithm based on reinforcement learning was proposed to organize the wireless sensor nodes, secondly, a mono-objective simulated annealing search method will be used to efficiently distribute the UAVs for optimum collection of data from the various cluster heads in the network, thirdly the city section mobility model will be used to compute the optimum position for the UAVs to each of the cluster heads in the network. Simulation results show that EEODA scheme proposed in this paper outperforms the EFDC, the closest-performing algorithm to it with an average of 12%. It also outperforms the other two compared algorithms, LEACH with UAV and HEED with UAV with between 17% and 36%, respectively with performance metrics such as energy consumption of nodes, scalability, delay in data aggregation and collection, control overhead and number of dead nodes in each round of clustering.
将传感器节点部署在不平坦或丘陵地带的情况并不少见。尼日利亚的许多地方都有这种情况。同样,传感器节点也可能部署在非常恶劣的地区,如叛乱分子猖獗的尼日利亚北部地区。在上述地区,可以使用无人驾驶飞行器从分散的传感器节点收集高能效数据。低空飞行的无人飞行器可用于降低无线传感器网络的能耗,方法是使用智能数据收集方法来分配无人飞行器,以便从节点收集数据。本文提出了一种针对丘陵和不平坦地形的无人机辅助无线传感器网络的节能优化数据聚合(EEODA)方案,将无人机作为数据采集点。这可以通过以下步骤来实现:首先,提出一种基于强化学习的分布式聚类算法来组织无线传感器节点;其次,使用单目标模拟退火搜索方法来有效地分配无人机,以便从网络中的各个簇头优化收集数据;第三,使用城市部分移动模型来计算无人机到网络中每个簇头的最佳位置。仿真结果表明,本文提出的 EEODA 方案平均优于与其性能最接近的 EFDC 算法 12%。在节点能耗、可扩展性、数据聚合和收集延迟、控制开销和每轮聚类中的死节点数等性能指标方面,它也分别以 17% 和 36% 的优势优于其他两种算法,即带有无人机的 LEACH 算法和带有无人机的 HEED 算法。

The internet, a vast global network of interconnected computers, has become an indispensable tool for information access and communication. This study examines the effects of internet addiction on the social lives of bachelor's level students in Nepalgunj. It explores students' attitudes toward interpersonal relationships and self-confidence in self-presentation. While the internet plays a crucial role in enhancing students' global awareness and knowledge, excessive dependence on it can undermine their self-assurance. Data for this study was collected through an online questionnaire distributed via platforms like Google Forms on social media. The findings reveal that 35% of students stay up late to complete college assignments, while 5% do so for family discussions. Additionally, 53% stay awake late primarily for internet browsing, with 7% citing other reasons for their nocturnal activities. The report concludes that excessive internet usage has a negative impact on students' self-assurance, interpersonal skills, and creativity. This dependence hinders social engagement and undermines their ability to participate in face-to-face interactions confidently. Furthermore, internet addiction limits students' creativity, fostering an overreliance on the internet for problem-solving.
互联网是一个由相互连接的计算机组成的庞大全球网络,已成为获取信息和进行交流的不可或缺的工具。本研究探讨了网络成瘾对尼泊尔根杰大学本科学生社交生活的影响。研究探讨了学生对人际关系的态度和自我展示的自信心。虽然互联网在增强学生的全球意识和知识方面发挥着至关重要的作用,但过度依赖互联网会削弱他们的自信心。本研究的数据是通过社交媒体上的谷歌表单等平台发放的在线问卷收集的。调查结果显示,35% 的学生熬夜是为了完成大学作业,5% 的学生熬夜是为了与家人讨论。此外,53% 的学生熬夜主要是为了浏览互联网,7% 的学生表示熬夜还有其他原因。报告认为,过度使用互联网对学生的自信心、人际交往能力和创造力都有负面影响。这种依赖性阻碍了学生的社会参与,削弱了他们自信地参与面对面交流的能力。此外,网络成瘾还限制了学生的创造力,使他们过度依赖网络来解决问题。

Increasing demand for food induces the human population to use excessive fertilizers in agricultural practices. A large quantity of Nitrogen fertilizer is used in agricultural fields compared with phosphate and potassium fertilizers, and unabsorbed excess accumulates in water bodies. Nitrogen-based fertilizers are degraded into ammonia and ammonium ions, which are toxic for fish. The gills and skin of fish are the primary sites of toxic exposure, and through gills, ammonia enters into the fish's bloodstream and reaches different organs and tissues. Ammonia exposure to fish has evidence to damage the fish's red blood cells as well as blood stem cells or hematopoietic stem cells in the liver and head-kidney, which are the major fish organs and showed tissue-specific toxicity. Unionized forms of ammonia can efficiently cross cell membranes and exert more toxicity. Ammonia exposure showed oxidative damage, i.e., lipid peroxidation, protein and DNA denaturation and stress hormone-mediated toxicity, which in turn affect the immune system. Ammonia toxicity disrupts the glutamine metabolic pathway, thereby causing cellular proliferation and death, which is associated with an inflammatory response; mediated through inflammatory cytokines like IL-1, IL-8, and TNF release in exposed fish. Present review deals with such lethal impacts of ammonia on fish health, where we are concerned as the direct consumer of fish and fish products.
对粮食需求的不断增长促使人类在农业生产中过量使用化肥。与磷肥和钾肥相比,农田使用了大量氮肥,未被吸收的多余氮肥在水体中积累。氮基化肥会降解为氨和铵离子,对鱼类有毒。鱼类的鳃和皮肤是接触有毒物质的主要部位,氨通过鳃进入鱼类的血液,到达不同的器官和组织。有证据表明,鱼类接触氨会损害鱼类的红细胞以及肝脏和头肾中的造血干细胞或造血干细胞,而肝脏和头肾是鱼类的主要器官,并显示出组织特异性毒性。氨的联合形式可以有效地穿过细胞膜,产生更大的毒性。接触氨后会出现氧化损伤,即脂质过氧化、蛋白质和 DNA 变性以及应激激素介导的毒性,进而影响免疫系统。氨毒性破坏了谷氨酰胺代谢途径,从而导致细胞增殖和死亡,这与炎症反应有关;通过炎症细胞因子,如 IL-1、IL-8 和 TNF 的释放,在暴露的鱼体内介导炎症反应。本综述涉及氨对鱼类健康的致命影响,而我们是鱼类和鱼类产品的直接消费者。

This study delves into the intricate realm of adolescent dietary behaviors, driven primarily by the pervasive influence of media. Adolescent, known for their susceptibility to media-driven preferences, exhibit complex processes in adapting and selecting their diets. By Employing a survey-based methodology, this research uncovers the profound sway of media on adolescent dietary preferences attributed to individual behavioral determinants. Adolescents gravitate towards familiar, gustatorily pleasing foods, aligning preferences with peers and media personas. Maternal guidance endorsing traditional cuisine while cautioning against foreign foods significantly impacts their choices. Paradoxically, despite occasional discomfort, adolescent favor fast food, especially females. This study underscores the imperative nature of dietary management strategies promoting diversity and social influences in shaping adolescent culinary preferences, highlighting the importance of wholesome food consumption for their nutritional well-being and quality of life.
这项研究深入探讨了主要受媒体普遍影响的青少年饮食行为的复杂领域。众所周知,青少年容易受媒体影响,他们在调整和选择饮食时表现出复杂的过程。本研究采用基于调查的方法,揭示了媒体对青少年饮食偏好的深刻影响,并将其归因于个人行为决定因素。青少年倾向于熟悉的、令人食欲大增的食物,与同龄人和媒体角色的偏好保持一致。母亲对传统美食的认可和对外来食物的警惕极大地影响了他们的选择。矛盾的是,尽管青少年偶尔会感到不适,但他们更喜欢快餐,尤其是女性。这项研究强调了饮食管理策略在塑造青少年饮食偏好方面促进多样性和社会影响的必要性,突出了健康食品消费对青少年营养健康和生活质量的重要性。

Here, a new distribution having three called Modified Inverse Lomax Distribution is proposed. Important statistical properties like the survival, hazard rate, the probability density function (PDF) is studied. Least Square, Cramer-Von Mises and Maximum Likelihood estimation methods are used for estimation of parameters using R programming software. A data set is discussed and performed the goodness-of-fit to assess the application of the proposed distribution. Various methods of model comparison and model validation are also used. The proposed model called Modified Inverse Lomax Distribution is more applicable as compared to some existing probability model.

Pteropus medius roost in the open in trees. They are susceptible to attack by different predators and competing species. Roosting bats produce alarm calls in response to perceived danger. To assess anti-predator behaviors to watch the arrival of enemies, in these bats, we collected data on the directions roosting bats faced in two roost trees in West Bengal, India. It is revealed that the bats, irrespective of roost spots, are accustomed to maintaining the hanging posture facing all direction though out the day. These differences in hanging poses were statistically significant (P<0.05). We hypothesized that such orientation in hanging stance is the induced impact of anti-predator behavior to ensure vigil in all directions.
Pteropus medius 在空旷的树上栖息。它们很容易受到不同天敌和竞争物种的攻击。筑巢的蝙蝠会发出警报声,以应对感知到的危险。为了评估这些蝙蝠在观察敌人到来时的反捕食行为,我们收集了在印度西孟加拉邦的两棵栖息树上栖息的蝙蝠所面临的方向的数据。结果表明,蝙蝠无论栖息在哪个地点,都习惯于全天保持面向所有方向的悬挂姿势。这些悬挂姿势的差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。我们推测,这种悬挂姿势的朝向是蝙蝠为确保对所有方向的警戒而采取的反捕食行为的诱导影响。

This research study makes fundamental observations about dissimilar metal-welded joints, which combine mild steel and aluminum alloy plates, both 6 mm thick. We joined this metal using the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process with E308L-16 as the filler metal. We conducted welding on prepared double-V and butt joints and assessed mechanical properties through tensile, impact, and hardness tests. We examined microstructural characteristics using an optical microscope. To investigate the corrosion behavior, we immersed the welded joint in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution and analyzed it using the potentiodynamic polarization electrochemical method. The results showed that dissimilar weld joints in the double-V configuration outperformed butt joints in tensile and hardness properties. Moreover, the double-V joint displayed more excellent thermodynamic stability in the 3.5 wt% NaCl solution compared to the commonly used butt joint. Consequently, the double-V joint design is the most suitable choice for achieving optimal mechanical and corrosion characteristics in these dissimilar weld joints for engineering applications.
本研究对异种金属焊接接头进行了基本观察,该接头由厚度均为 6 毫米的低碳钢板和铝合金板组成。我们使用 E308L-16 作为填充金属,采用金属保护电弧焊(SMAW)工艺焊接这种金属。我们对准备好的双 V 形接头和对接接头进行了焊接,并通过拉伸、冲击和硬度测试评估了机械性能。我们使用光学显微镜检查了微观结构特征。为了研究腐蚀行为,我们将焊接接头浸入 3.5 wt% 的氯化钠溶液中,并使用电位极化电化学方法进行分析。结果表明,双 V 形异种焊接接头的拉伸和硬度性能优于对接接头。此外,与常用的对接接头相比,双 V 形接头在 3.5 wt% 的 NaCl 溶液中显示出更出色的热力学稳定性。因此,双 V 形接头设计是工程应用中这些异种焊接接头获得最佳机械和腐蚀特性的最合适选择。

We joined this metal using the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process with E308L-16 as the filler metal. We conducted welding on prepared double-V and butt joints and assessed mechanical properties through tensile, impact, and hardness tests. We examined microstructural characteristics using an optical microscope. To investigate the corrosion behavior, we immersed the welded joint in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution and analyzed it using the potentiodynamic polarization electrochemical method. The results showed that dissimilar weld joints in the double-V configuration outperformed butt joints in tensile and hardness properties. Moreover, the double-V joint displayed more excellent thermodynamic stability in the 3.5 wt% NaCl solution compared to the commonly used butt joint. Consequently, the double-V joint design is the most suitable choice for achieving optimal mechanical and corrosion characteristics in these dissimilar weld joints for engineering applications.","PeriodicalId":505009,"journal":{"name":"Discovery","volume":"26 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139184828","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}
