Small low-cost sensor devices with limited resources are being used widely to build a self-organizing wireless network for various applications, such as situation monitoring and asset surveillance. Making such a sensor network secure is crucial to their intended applications, yet challenging due to the severe resource constraints in each sensor device. We present a lightweight security protocol (LiSP) that makes a tradeoff between security and resource consumption via efficient rekeying. The hea

Small low-cost sensor devices, each equipped with limited resources, are networked and used for various critical applications, especially those related to homeland security. Making such a sensor network secure is challenging mainly because it usually has to operate in a harsh, sometimes hostile, and unattended environment, where it is subject to capture, reverse-engineering, and manipulation. To address this challenge, we present a program-integrity verification (PIV) protocol that verifies the

The present study has been focused on the environment-friendly corrosion inhibitor. Conifer cone (<i>Pinus resinosa</i>) has been used as a novel corrosion inhibitor to mitigate the corrosion of steel rebars in simulated concrete pore solutions (SCPS) in the presence and absence of chloride ions. The corrosion inhibitor is extracted by simple chemical methods. The functional groups present in the extracted conifer cone (ECC) powder are characterized as well as the surface morphology of ECC has b

Existing location-based routing protocols are not versatile enough for a large-scale ad hoc environment to simultaneously meet all of the requirements of scalability, bandwidth efficiency, energy efficiency, and quality-of-service routing. To remedy this deficiency, we propose an optimal tradeoff approach that: 1) constructs a hybrid routing protocol by combining well-known location-update schemes (i.e., proactive location updates within nodes' local regions and a distributed location service),

MCNPX, Geant4 and FLUKA codes are employed to compute mass attenuation coefficients (μ/ρ) for 20Bi2O3-(80-x)B2O3-xPbO (x = 0, 20, 30, 40 and 60 mol%) glasses at 20, 30, 40 and 60 KeV, 133Ba (81, 161, 223, 276, 303, 356 and 384 keV), 57Co (122 and 136 KeV), 22Na (511 and 1275 keV), 137Cs (662 keV), 54Mn (835 keV), 60Co (1173 and 1333 keV) and 42K (1524 keV) photon peaks where 20, 30, 40 and 60 KeV energies are utilized for Mammography, Dental, General and Computed tomography (CT) scanning accordi

Research on smart environments saturated with ubiquitous computing devices is rapidly advancing while raising serious privacy issues. According to recent studies, privacy concerns significantly hinder widespread adoption of smart home technologies. Previous work has shown that it is possible to infer the activities of daily living within environments equipped with wireless sensors by monitoring radio fingerprints and traffic patterns. Since data encryption cannot prevent privacy invasions exploi

In the present study, different amounts, i.e., 1-3 <i>v</i>/<i>v</i>% of 1 M ammonium phosphate monobasic, were used as an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor to mitigate the corrosion of steel rebar exposed to simulated concrete pore (SCP) + 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at a prolonged duration. Potentiodynamic polarization results show that as the amount of inhibitor is increased, the corrosion resistance of steel rebar is increased. The steel rebar exposed to 3% inhibitor-containing SCP + 3.5 wt% NaCl s

To attain the increasing demand for energy in addition with an aim of resolving environmental concerns, a transition from traditional energy systems to renewable resources is crucial. However, renewable energy needs the proper mechanism of harvesting on availability and suitable storage capabilities until it's utilizable necessity. Therefore, effective and consistent energy storage frameworks are crucial for the utilization of stowed renewable energy at a maximum capacity. Pondering that, this s
