Survey on Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchical Protocol by Khatereh Bagherzadeh Asl, Alhanouf Alburaikan

“…Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are in incredible request from the new year’s, as these days we have seen wide development of remote gadgets including cell telephones, workstations, mobiles, PDA's and so forth remote sensor networks comprises of thousands of minuscule sensor hubs. In a remote sensors network a hub is as of now not valuable when its battery passes on, so to stay away from this issue numerous conventions were presented, yet much of the position is given to progressive directing conventions. …”

A Semi-analytical Model for Stellar Evolution in AGN Disks by Alexander J. Dittmann, Matteo Cantiello

“…We present a simplified model of stellar evolution in these dense environments, which exhibits exceptional agreement with full stellar evolution calculations at a minuscule fraction of the cost. Although the model presented here is limited to stars burning hydrogen in their cores, it is sufficient to determine the evolutionary fate of disk-embedded stars: whether they proceed to later stages of nuclear burning and leave behind a compact remnant, reach a quasi-steady state where mass loss and accretion balance one another, or whether accretion proceeds faster than stellar structure can adjust, causing a runaway. …”

Novel fingerprint key generation method based on the trimmed mean of feature distance by Zhongtian JIA, Qinglong QIN, Li MA, Lizhi PENG

“…In recent years, biometrics has become widely adopted in access control systems, effectively resolving the challenges associated with password management in identity authentication.However, traditional biometric-based authentication methods often lead to the loss or leakage of users’ biometric data, compromising the reliability of biometric authentication.In the literature, two primary technical approaches have been proposed to address these issues.The first approach involves processing the extracted biometric data in a way that the authentication information used in the final stage or stored in the database does not contain the original biometric data.The second approach entails writing the biometric data onto a smart card and utilizing the smart card to generate the private key for public key cryptography.To address the challenge of constructing the private key of a public key cryptosystem based on fingerprint data without relying on a smart card, a detailed study was conducted on the stable feature points and stable feature distances of fingerprints.This study involved the extraction and analysis of fingerprint minutiae.Calculation methods were presented for sets of stable feature points, sets of equidistant stable feature points, sets of key feature points, and sets of truncated means.Based on the feature distance truncated mean, an original fingerprint key generation algorithm and key update strategy were proposed.This scheme enables the reconstruction of the fingerprint key through re-collecting fingerprints, without the need for direct storage of the key.The revocation and update of the fingerprint key were achieved through a salted hash function, which solved the problem of converting ambiguous fingerprint data into precise key data.Experiments prove that the probability of successfully reconstructing the fingerprint key by re-collecting fingerprints ten times is 0.7354, and the probability of reconstructing the fingerprint key by re-collecting fingerprints sixty times is 98.06%.…”

Produzir comida a partir da decomposição: os microrganismos e seu papel no ambiente sustentável by Marisa Cristina da Casteluber, Amanda Marra Oliveira

“…Para isso, o projeto, aplicado com os alunos do 6° ano do ensino fundamental II da escola estadual Professora Yolanda Martins, tem como foco principal a elaboração de uma composteira para produção de composto para a adubação da horta escolar, utilizando materiais de baixo custo e fácil acesso que consistiam em três baldes com tampas, uma torneira plástica, terra, serragem e minhocas. Esse trabalho foi dividido em 5 etapas, coma aplicação de questionário semiestruturado no início e no fim do projeto; construção da composteira; aplicação do produto gerado nas hortas; rodas de conversas e aplicação de práticas sobre o composto e os microrganismos. …”

An appropriate DNA input for bisulfite conversion reveals LINE-1 and Alu hypermethylation in tissues and circulating cell-free DNA from cancers. by Trang Thi Quynh Tran, Tung The Pham, Than Thi Nguyen, Trang Hien Do, Phuong Thi Thu Luu, Uyen Quynh Nguyen, Linh Dieu Vuong, Quang Ngoc Nguyen, Son Van Ho, Hang Viet Dao, Tong Van Hoang, Lan Thi Thuong Vo

“…This study demonstrated that errors in LINE-1 and Alu methylation level measurements were caused by an excessive input quantity of genomic DNA used for bisulfite conversion. Using the minuscule DNA amount of 0.5 ng, much less than what has been used and recommended so far (500 ng-2 μg) or 1 μL of cfDNA extracted from 1 mL of blood, we revealed hypermethylation of LINE-1 and Alu in 407 tumour samples of primary breast, colon and lung cancers when compared with the corresponding pair-matched adjacent normal tissue samples (P < 0.05-0.001), and in cfDNA from 296 samples of lung cancers as compared with 477 samples from healthy controls (P < 0.0001). …”
