A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an organization of an expansive number of little, modest, self-controlled gadgets that can communicate, sense and compute with different gadgets with the end goal of gathering local information about a physical domain. A Wireless Sensor Network can get isolated into different associated parts because of the failure of some of its nodes, which is known as a \"cut\". In this research article, a Node Re-Tracement Model for re-routing the suspicious node is proposed, if the node is considered as suspicious one. Another computational method was proposed to play out the classification task from KDDCUP 99 datasets utilizing Artificial Neural Network and Ant Colony Optimization and the severity of the attack is anticipated by utilizing Fuzzy Inference System (FIS)
Multilevel inverter proves to be a boon in industrial applications. The requirement\nof a higher number of levels which increase the number of power semiconductor switches\nand increases complexity in control. A single phase seven-level inverter topology with\nreduced number of switches and complexity is proposed in this paper. This topology requires\ntotal eight switches out of which four operate at line frequency (50 Hz) and two isolated\nsources. The magnitude of inner source is half of the outer source. This requirement of\nisolated sources makes the topology suitable for photovoltaic application. This topology can\nbe easily extensive to higher number of levels by cascading additional inner-H bridge. Pulse-width-modulation (PWM) technique is developed to obtain the gate pulses. Simulation\nresults are presented to validate the satisfactory performance of the proposed inverter and its\ncontrol scheme.

Background and purpose: Stroke is a global health-care problem that is common, serious and disabling. Hemiplegia due to stroke accounts for the majority of admissions to the rehabilitation clinics. Electrical stimulation (ES) has been used as one potential rehabilitative treatment option to restore motor function and improve recovery in patients with paresis. Multiple stimulation parameters affect the force response of muscle, creating a large number of possible ES parameter protocols. So the purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of different ES protocols on the isometric peak torque (IPT) of quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle and level of discomfort in stroke patients. Materials and Methods: Forty male patients having hemiparesis post stroke were recruited for the study from Out-patient Department in Governmental Hospitals at Taif Region, KSA. Patients were randomly assigned into two equal groups. Group (A) received the frequency modulation protocol of ES while group (B) received the Pulse duration (PD) and frequency modulation protocol of ES. Isometric peak torque was evaluated before and after treatment, also the level of discomfort was measured immediately post treatment by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: There was a significant difference between both groups post-treatment in IPT as (P=0.017) and level of discomfort as (P=0.004). The percentage of improvement in the IPT post treatment was 41.68% for group (A) while for group (B) was 56.47%. Conclusion: Electrical stimulation protocol that used combined modulation of both PD and frequency is an effective stimulation strategy in improving muscle performance with minimal discomfort than traditional approaches that used modulated frequency only with constant PD.
Abstract \nBackground: Although the techniques used in colorectal surgical procedures are at an advanced stage, anastomotic leaks still maintain their significance. Our aim in this study was to utilize a membrane containing collagen and fibroblast growth factor (Chuang Bi Fu) in order to accelerate the recovery of the anastomotic line.\nMaterial and Methods: The study was planned as an experimental animal study conducted subsequent to the consent of the board of ethics. 14 Wistar albino rats were allocated into two groups, each having 7 rats. While the first group was designated as the control group, the second was designated as the study group. A colonic segment of 1 cm was excised from 4-5 cm proximal of the ileocecal junction. Anastomosis was performed by 8 sutures with 4/0 vicryl. The anastomotic line of the animals in the study group was covered up with a collagen membrane running over the line at least 2 cm from the proximal and distal areas.\nThe experiment was completed on the postoperative 7th day. Bursting pressure, tissue hydroxyproline levels, and histopathological evaluations were conducted.\nResults: The results of re-laparotomy revealed that there was no intraabdominal abscess and dehiscence in the anastomotic integrity in both groups. The bursting pressure was found to be 185.71mmHg in Group I, while it was 255.71mmHg in Group II. The hydroxyproline level was better in Group II (p>0.05). Histopathological analysis showed that vascular proliferation, fibroblastic activity, and the amount of collagen were better in Group II than Group I (p>0.05).\nConclusion: We believe that this product can be applied to the anastomosis line, especially in patients with anastomotic leaks, in order to ensure safer anastomotic recovery.\nKeywords: Collagen and fibroblast growth factor, Anastomosis, Leak
