Network intrusion is one of the main threats to organizational networks and systems. Its timely detection is a profound challenge for the security of networks and systems. The situation is even more challenging for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of developing countries where limited resources and investment in deploying foreign security controls and development of indigenous security solutions are big hurdles.

Backgrounds and aim Besides the clinical evidence supporting insulin resistance in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients, the exact mechanism elucidating insulin resistance is still under discussion. The present study aimed to observe any relationship between serum hepcidin, serum iron, and insulin resistance in CHC patients. Methodology A total of 54 individuals were recruited in this study, assorted into group A (CHC population with diabetes) and control group B (CHC population without diabetes).

The presented investigation theoretically studies the physical characteristics of a two-dimensional incompressible hybrid nanofluid in a non-uniform annulus where the boundaries are flexible. A mixed convective peristaltic mechanism is implemented to model blood-based nanofluids using two different nanoparticles (Ag + AlO). Convective boundary conditions are employed and different forms of nanoparticles are discussed (bricks, cylinders and platelets).

Objective: The main objective of this paper is to study the Bio-mathematical analysis for the peristaltic flow of single wall carbon nanotubes under the impact of variable viscosity and wall properties.

Design/approach: The right and the left walls of the curved channel possess sinusoidal wave that is travelling along the outer boundary. The features of the peristaltic motion are determined by using long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation.

Objective: The objective of this paper is to study the influences of slip and Cu-blood nanofluid in a physiological study of cilia.

Design/methodology/approach: The right wall and the left wall possess metachronal wave that is traveling along the outer boundary of the channel. The features of ciliary structures are determined by the dominance of viscous effects over inertial effects using the long wavelength approximation.

In this paper, the mechanism of cilia-induced flow is discussed through a mathematical model. In this study two dimensional flow of a viscous fluid in the presence of nanoparticles are observed in a curved channel with ciliated walls. Cilia have a distinctive pattern of motion by which they can set fluid into motion at low Reynolds number.
