Implementing Anomaly-Based Intrusion Detection for Resource-Constrained Devices in IoMT Networks.

Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) technology has emerged from the introduction of the Internet of Things in the healthcare sector. However, the resource-constrained characteristics and heterogeneity of IoMT networks make these networks susceptible to various types of threats. Thus, it is necessary to develop novel security solutions (e.

Dual frequency ultrasonic liquid phase exfoliation method for the production of few layer graphene in green solvents.

In this work, we implement a dual frequency (24 kHz and 1174 kHz) ultrasonic assisted liquid phase exfoliation (ULPE) technique in deionized water (DIW) and other eco-friendly solvents, to produce a variety of high-quality few-layer graphene (FLG) solutions under controlled ultrasonication conditions. The resulting FLG dispersions of variable sizes (∼0.2-1.

Hierarchical Self-Assembly of Water-Soluble Fullerene Derivatives into Supramolecular Hydrogels.

Controlling the self-assembly of nanoparticle building blocks into macroscale soft matter structures is an open question and of fundamental importance to fields as diverse as nanomedicine and next-generation energy storage. Within the vast library of nanoparticles, the fullerenes-a family of quasi-spherical carbon allotropes-are not explored beyond the most common, C. Herein, a facile one-pot method is demonstrated for functionalizing fullerenes of different sizes (C, C, C and C), yielding derivatives that self-assemble in aqueous solution into supramolecular hydrogels with distinct hierarchical structures.

Cavitation-induced shock wave behaviour in different liquids.

This paper follows our earlier work where a strong high frequency pressure peak has been observed as a consequence of the formation of shock waves due to the collapse of cavitation bubbles in water, excited by an ultrasonic source at 24 kHz. We study here the effects of liquid physical properties on the shock wave characteristics by replacing water as the medium successively with ethanol, glycerol and finally a 1:1 ethanol-water solution. The pressure frequency spectra obtained in our experiments (from more than 1.

Direct Evidence of the Exfoliation Efficiency and Graphene Dispersibility of Green Solvents toward Sustainable Graphene Production.

Achieving a sustainable production of pristine high-quality graphene and other layered materials at a low cost is one of the bottlenecks that needs to be overcome for reaching 2D material applications at a large scale. Liquid phase exfoliation in conjunction with -methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is recognized as the most efficient method for both the exfoliation and dispersion of graphene. Unfortunately, NMP is neither sustainable nor suitable for up-scaling production due to its adverse impact on the environment.
