A secure and energy-efficient routing using coupled ensemble selection approach and optimal type-2 fuzzy logic in WSN.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are imperative to a huge range of packages, along with environmental monitoring, healthcare structures, army surveillance, and smart infrastructure, however they're faced with numerous demanding situations that impede their functionality, including confined strength sources, routing inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, excessive latency, and the important requirement to keep Quality of Service (QoS). Conventional strategies generally goal particular troubles, like strength optimization or improving QoS, frequently failing to provide a holistic answer that effectively balances more than one crucial elements concurrently. To deal with those challenges, we advocate a novel routing framework that is both steady and power-efficient, leveraging an Improved Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System (IT2FLS) optimized by means of the Reptile Search Algorithm (RSA).

The 'close proximity' configuration was used for field emission analysis of graphene-incorporated aluminum (Al) composites. The turn-on field was found to be 2 V μm for the AlGr1 (1% graphene (by weight) inside the Al matrix) composite compared to 4.75 V μm for the pristine aluminum sample.

The Kondo effect in superparamagnetic 30% Co-Ni/NiO nanocomposites: detailed transport and magnetic investigations.

Nanocomposites of 20% and 30% Co-doped Ni/NiO were synthesized using a microwave-assisted sol-gel auto-combustion method. The 30% Co-doped Ni/NiO nanocomposite exhibited negative magnetoresistance (M-R) at various temperatures, including 2 K, 10 K, 80 K, 100 K, and 250 K. This behavior is interpreted as indicative of a Kondo-like scattering effect.

Spindle Cell Sarcoma of the Maxilla: A Rare Entity, Case Report, and Review of the Literature.

Spindle cell sarcoma (SCS) is a malignancy, with the most recent Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data citing a total of 250 reported cases occurring in the head and neck. Of these cases, none originated in the maxillofacial hard tissue. The diagnosis of SCS requires its differentiation from other sarcomas and spindle cell neoplasms.

Effectiveness of jigsaw puzzle assisted visual reinforcement technique on toothbrushing knowledge, practices and clinical parameters of hearing and speech-impaired adolescents: A single-blind randomized controlled trial.

Background: Oral health education (OHE) for hearing and speech-impaired (HSI) adolescents relies heavily on sign language. However, it is not effective in conveying oral health concepts due to communication barriers, resulting in suboptimal oral health outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the jigsaw puzzle assisted visual reinforcement (JPVR) technique on toothbrushing knowledge, practices, and clinical parameters among HSI adolescents.

A Comparative Study Between Coblation-Assisted Tonsillectomy and Conventional Dissection and Snare Tonsillectomy.

Background Tonsillitis is a vastly prevalent disease, accounting for the majority of outpatient visits. The dissection and snare method has been the predominant approach for tonsillectomy for centuries. Coblation-assisted tonsillectomy offers advantages such as faster healing, shorter surgery duration, minimal blood loss, and fewer postoperative complications.

Development and characterization of sodium alginate and β-cyclodextrin nanoemulsions encapsulating betel leaf (Piper betle L.) extract for enhanced antimicrobial efficacy against foodborne pathogen.

This study aims to investigate the physical stability, droplet size, zeta potential, and antimicrobial properties of nanoemulsions formulated with betel leaf extract using β-cyclodextrin (CD) and sodium alginate (SA) biopolymers. Nanoemulsions with β-cyclodextrin exhibit superior stability at lower temperatures, with limited droplet size, and strong electrostatic repulsion. Morphological images demonstrate the successful encapsulation of betel leaf extract within both biopolymers, highlighting their potential for antimicrobial applications.

Effectiveness of error-based active learning compared to conventional lecture-based method among undergraduate dental students: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Dental education assumes an indispensable role in adequately equipping students for a successful career in dentistry. Error-based active learning, an innovative approach in dental education, is a combination of mistake-driven learning (MDL) and case-based learning (CBL) to provide a transformative learning atmosphere for students. While active learning has gained popularity in dental education, the effectiveness of error-based active learning remains unexplored.

Cavernous Hemangioma of the Tongue in an Adult.

Hemangiomas are benign tumors characterized by the proliferation of dilated blood vessels, typically capillaries and veins. They primarily occur in infancy and childhood, with the majority affecting the head and neck region. Oral hemangiomas, though relatively rare, can affect areas such as the lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and palate.

Synergistic Effect of 3D/2D Vanadium Diselenide/Tungsten Diselenide Hybrid Materials: Electrochemical Detection of 5-Nitroquinoline a Hazard to the Aquatic Environment.

The development of multidimensional structured electrode materials with simple synthetic methods and their electrochemical sensing ability against environmental pollution is still a challenge. In this article, we propose a hybrid formed using multidimensional (3D/2D) vanadium diselenide microspheres and tungsten diselenide nanosheets (VSe/WSe) for the electrochemical detection of 5-nitroquinoline (5-NQ), a highly toxic and hazardous substance that is polluting aquatic life due to increasing industrial activities. The 3D/2D VSe/WSe hybrids were prepared by a simple solvothermal method and their morphological and structural analysis was confirmed by various spectroscopy and analytical techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry.
