Evaluation Model for the Level of Service of Shared-Use Paths Based on Traffic Conflicts
Authors: Wang Wei , Sun Zhentian , Wang Liya , Yu Shanshan , Chen Jun
Published: September 2020

As a product of urban motorized traffic, sharing roads between pedestrians and non-motor vehicles has been widely used in the world. In order to improve the service quality of slow traffic, it is necessary to evaluate the service level of the shared-use path to determine whether the road is suitable for setting up shared forms. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide an analytical framework to quantify and accurately express the service level of shared-use paths. Considering the direct impact of traffic conflicts on service quality, fuzzy clustering analysis is used to analyze traffic conflicts. Then, the corresponding relationship between traffic conflict events and service levels is established, and the classification criteria of the service levels at all levels and the corresponding range of conflict events are determined. By judging the interval in which the number of conflict events belongs, we can determine the service level of the shared-use path, and then determine whether the slow-moving road is suitable for sharing between pedestrians and non-motor vehicles. The research results can provide a reference for traffic management departments to determine the service level and applicability of shared roads.

Published: September 2020

Alleviating poverty, reducing inequality, and achieving economic prosperity and well-beingis a global challenge. The spread and quantum of this daunting challenge calls for a scalable solution.The aim of the ‘Scalable Architecture for Smart Villages’ project is to contribute to an eective solutionwhich addresses scale as well as customization. In order to achieve both in our new framework forsmart villages, we take an endogenous approach. This approach emphasizes learning which will createa catalytic eect for scale. Learning is an essential component in the process, both for the researchersas well as members of the community. With these principles in mind, our approach proceeds in fourphases, namely discovery, planning, resourcing and executing. In this paper we outline the discoveryphase, which will lay the foundation for developing our framework of scalable smart villages.The Discovery Phase is a research process where the community learns about itself and the researcherslearn about the underlying factors that can help uplift and develop a smart village. Using conventionalqualitative and quantitative research methodology, the researchers and the community will generatebaseline data which will help calibrate villages for future development into smart villages.
Legitimation of Social Enterprises as Hybrid Organizations
Authors: Park Ji-Hoon , Bae Zong-Tae
Published: September 2020

On the basis of an inductive multiple case study of ten social enterprises, we explore how social enterprises, which incorporate for-profit and not-for-profit logics as a hybrid form, gain legitimacy. Our analysis suggests the existence of three types of social entrepreneurs’ hybrid identities and shows how these hybrid identities systematically shape legitimation patterns of social enterprises. Furthermore, our findings suggest that social enterprises’ organizational types as hybrids also determine their legitimation patterns. These findings theoretically contribute to the research on hybrid organizing, legitimation of new ventures, and social entrepreneurship.
Probing Alignment of Personal and Organisational Values for Sustainability: An Assessment of Barrett’s Organisational Consciousness Model
Authors: Klapper Rita , Berg Lindsay , Upham Paul
Published: September 2020

To what extent are the values of employees and employers aligned in the context of sustainability and how might this be assessed? These are the main research questions in a case study involving a Swedish Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) with ambitions to become more ‘sustainable’. The wider context of the paper is the alignment of managerial and employee values for organisational sustainability. Specifically, the study applies and assesses Barrett’s concept of Organisational Consciousness as a level-based approach to sustainability values, which we argue is based on an integration of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Wilber’s Integral metatheory. Quantifying the incidence of references to various values elicited in interviews, the study demonstrates: the limited salience of Barrett’s themes (‘attributes’) for employees; the divergent perspectives in participants’ personal and organisational lives. While normatively affirming Barrett’s overall approach, we observe that most organisations are likely to be a considerable distance from Barrett’s higher levels. How one interprets this is debatable: it may be concluded that Barrett’s framework is overambitious or that organisations need to: (i) broaden their understanding of sustainability and (ii) nurture alignment between personal and organisational values.
Impact of Climate Change in West Africa on Cereal Production Per Capita in 2050
Authors: Defrance Dimitri , Sultan Benjamin , Castets Mathieu , Famien Adjoua Moise , Baron Christian
Published: September 2020

Food security is a crucial issue in the Sahel and could be endangered by climate change and demographic pressure during the 21st century. Higher temperatures and changes in rainfall induced by global warming are threatening rainfed agriculture in this region while the population is expected to increase approximately three-fold until 2050. Our study quantifies the impact of climate change on food security by combining climate modelling (16 models from CMIP5), crop yield (simulated by agronomic model, SARRA-O) and demographic evolution (provided by UN projection) under two future climatic scenarios. We simulate yield for the main crops in five countries in West Africa and estimate the population pressure on crop production to assess the number of available cereal production per capita. We found that, although uncertain, the African monsoon evolution leads to an increase of rainfall in Eastern Sahel and a decrease in Western Sahel under the RCP8.5 (Representative Concentration Pathway) scenario from IPCC, leading to the higher temperature increase by the end of the 21st century. With regard to the abundance of food for the inhabitants, all the scenarios in each country show that in 2050, local agricultural production will be below 50 kg per capita. This situation can have impact on crop import and regional migration.
Identifying Risks for Better Project Management between Two Different Cultures: The Chinese and the Spanish
Authors: Rodríguez-Rivero Rocío , Ortiz-Marcos Isabel , Ballesteros-Sánchez Luis , Martínez-Beneitez Xabier
Published: September 2020

Business globalization causes all project managers, sooner or later, to face the challenge of understanding cultural differences. Identifying the risks associated with these differences has become an essential task today when discussing international projects. This paper shows how to improve the management of projects carried out in China by Spanish organizations, identifying risks related to differences between societies. To determine this set of risks, the cultural dimensions of Hofstede and Meyer were analyzed for the case of China and Spain, as well as the most critical values of the World Value Survey between both cultures. From there, and thanks to work done with a focus group formed of 29 Spanish project managers who are experienced in working in projects developed in China, risks were identified and classified into categories considering cultural dimensions. The results obtained show a record of risks of great interest for organizations working in international contexts, mainly in China. They reveal, in addition, the importance of considering this type of risks related to cultural differences, which have rarely been treated before.
Disaggregating Ecosystem Benefits: An Integrated Environmental-Deprivation Index
Authors: Hazell Emily C.
Published: September 2020

The valuation of ecosystem services has become an integral part of smart urban planning practices. Traditionally designed to bridge ecology and economy through economic language and logic (e.g., goods and services), this conceptual framework has developed into an effective tool for interdisciplinary work. The concept of ecosystem services is used to improve the management of ecosystems for human well-being. However, gaps in how to govern ecological benefits remain. Specifically, identifying which stakeholders benefit the most from the provision of ecosystem services remains largely unaddressed. This study examines the spatial discordance between ecosystem services and the residential stakeholders who may benefit. Using a landscape approach to quantify urban ecosystem services, an area-based composite index was developed for the City of Toronto, Canada, based on the three pillars of sustainability in order to identify potentially vulnerable populations. This method combines the use of principal component analysis (PCA) and spatial multicriteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) to combine and weight a select grouping of socioeconomic and ecological indicators. In addition, two sets of enumeration units (i.e., dissemination areas and census tracts) were evaluated to assess the potential impact of measurement scale on subsequent decision or policy outcomes. Results indicate the spatial interdependencies between ecological and socioeconomic processes in an urban setting, offering a unique framework for novel planning and policy intervention strategies. The influence of measurement scale was demonstrated, creating an opportunity to assess an appropriate policy scale by which to measure and evaluate trends over time and space. This approach seeks to provide a flexible and intuitive planning tool that can help to achieve goals relating to urban sustainability, resiliency and equity.

Published: September 2020

Many countries in the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) are facing water scarcity, which poses a great challenge to agricultural production. Furthermore, water scarcity is projected to increase due to climate change, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. The integration of solar power and water desalination systems in greenhouses to overcome water shortages is one of the preferred technologies in crop-growing areas. Crop growth control is done through sufficient management of environmental climatic variables as well as the quantity and quality of water and applied fertilisers with irrigation. Numerous crops such as cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, lettuces, strawberries, flowers, and herbs can be grown under greenhouse conditions using desalinated water. This paper displays the state of the art in (i) solar-driven saltwater desalination to irrigate crops, (ii) the feasibility of water desalination for agriculture in the MENA region, (iii) the economics and environmental impacts of the desalination process, (iv) the quality of desalinated water compared with other non-conventional water resources and (v) recommendations for the future in the MENA region.
The Use of the Sous-Vide Method in the Preparation of Poultry at Home and in Catering—Protection of Nutrition Value Whether High Energy Consumption
Authors: Głuchowski Artur , Czarniecka-Skubina Ewa , Buła Maria
Published: September 2020

Nowadays, the reduction of food waste, as well as protection of the nutritional value, are significant trends in domestic and catering food processing. Among the trends are innovations in food technology like sous-vide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sous vide cooking on the technological, nutritional, and microbiological quality of the chicken breast as well as to compare it to conventional methods (boiling and steaming). Meats after low-temperature sous-vide heat treatment were characterized by a significantly higher yield (p ≤ 0.05) and water content than those prepared with conventional methods. The energy and time consumption of sous-vide preparation was 5–10 times higher than other methods. The examined heat treatments resulted in a good microbiological quality of samples. The nutritional value of sous-vide products depended on the process parameters. A higher temperature and sous-vide processing time resulted in a higher content of dry matter, protein, and fat in the meat and was close to that of conventional methods. Low parameters of the process resulted in the least changed profile of fatty acids in meat. The use of the sous-vide method protects the nutritional value and allows for the extension of the shelf life of the meat which ultimately reduces food waste. The sous-vide heat treatment method is more suitable for foodservice than use in home conditions because of high energy consumption, despite the protection of nutrition value.

Published: September 2020

In this analysis, we aim to examine the heat transfer and flow characteristics of a copper-aluminum/water hybrid nanofluid in the presence of viscous dissipation, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), and porous medium effect over the shrinking sheet. The governing equations of the fluid model have been acquired by employment of the model of Tiwari and Das, with additional properties of the hybrid nanofluid. The system of partial differential equations (PDEs) has been converted into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by adopting the exponential similarity transformation. Similarity transformation is an essential class of phenomenon where the symmetry of the scale helps to reduce the number of independent variables. Note that ODE solutions demonstrate the PDEs symmetrical behavior for the velocity and temperature profiles. With BVP4C solver in the MATLAB program, the system of resulting equations has been solved. We have compared the present results with the published results and found in excellent agreements. The findings of the analysis are also displayed and discussed in depth graphically and numerically. It is discovered that two solutions occur in definite ranges of suction and magnetic parameters. Dual (no) similarity solutions can be found in the range of Sc≤S and Mc≤M (Sc>S and Mc>M). By performing stability analysis, the smallest values of eigenvalue are obtained, suggesting that a stable solution is the first one. Furthermore, the graph of the smallest eigenvalue shows symmetrical behavior. By enhancing the Eckert number values the temperature of the fluid is raised.
Contention-Free Scheduling for Mixed-Criticality Multiprocessor Real-Time System
Authors: Baek Hyeongboo , Lee Kilho
Published: September 2020

Zero-laxity (ZL) and contention-free (CF) policies have received considerable attention owing to their simplicity and applicability to real-time systems equipped with symmetry multiprocessors. Recently, the ZL policy for mixed-criticality (MC) systems has been proposed and studied, but the applicability to and performance of the CF policy for MC systems have not been investigated yet. In this paper, we propose the CF policy (as a scheduling policy) for MC symmetry multiprocessor systems, referred to as the MC systems tailored CF policy (MC-CF), and a schedulability analysis in support thereof. We define the notion of contention-free slots for two different criticalities (of MC systems) of tasks, propose a technique to limit the amount to be utilized for each task by defining an upper bound, and subsequently explain the way in which the contention-free slots are systematically utilized to improve the schedulability of MC symmetry multiprocessor systems. Following this, we develop a deadline analysis (DA) for MC-CF. Using our experimental results under various environmental settings, we demonstrate that MC-CF can significantly improve the schedulability of fixed-priority scheduling.
Very Long Baseline Interferometry Observations of the Proposed Radio Counterpart of an EGRET Source
Authors: Veres Patrik Milán , Gabányi Krisztina Éva , Frey Sándor
Published: September 2020

We present high-resolution radio interferometric imaging observations of the radio source NVSS J182659+343113 (hereafter J1826+3431), the proposed radio counterpart of the γ-ray source, 3EG J1824+3441 detected by the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory satellite. We analyzed eight epochs of archival multi-frequency very long baseline interferometry data. We imaged the asymmetric core–jet structure of the source, and detected apparent superluminal motion in the jet. At the highest observing frequency, 15.3 GHz, the core shows high brightness temperature indicating Doppler boosting. Additionally, the radio features undergo substantial flux density variability. These findings strengthen the previous claim of the association of the blazar J1826+3431 with the possible γ-ray source, 3EG J1824+3441.
Stability Analysis of Linear Feedback Systems in Control
Authors: Rehman Mutti-Ur , Alzabut Jehad , Anwar Muhammad Fazeel
Published: September 2020

This article presents a stability analysis of linear time invariant systems arising in system theory. The computation of upper bounds of structured singular values confer the stability analysis, robustness and performance of feedback systems in system theory. The computation of the bounds of structured singular values of Toeplitz and symmetric Toeplitz matrices for linear time invariant systems is presented by means of low rank ordinary differential equations (ODE’s) based methodology. The proposed methodology is based upon the inner-outer algorithm. The inner algorithm constructs and solves a gradient system of ODE’s while the outer algorithm adjusts the perturbation level with fast Newton’s iteration. The comparison of bounds of structured singular values approximated by low rank ODE’s based methodology results tighter bounds when compared with well-known MATLAB routine mussv, available in MATLAB control toolbox.

Bifurcation and Nonlinear Behavior Analysis of Dual-Directional Coupled Aerodynamic Bearing Systems
Authors: Wang Cheng-Chi , Lin Chih-Jer
Published: September 2020

Dual-directional coupled aerodynamic bearing (DCAB) systems have received considerable attention over the past few years. These systems are primarily used to solve air lubrication problems in high-precision mechanisms and equipment that run at a high rotational speed and require high rigidity and precision. DCABs have the advantages of axial and radial thrust and provide high rigidity, dual-directional support, and high load-carrying capacity. In DCAB systems, the nonlinearity of the air film pressure and dynamic problems, such as critical speed, unbalanced air supply, or poor design, can cause the instability of the rotor-bearing system and phenomena such as nonperiodic or chaotic motion under certain parameters or conditions. Therefore, to investigate what conditions lead to nonperiodic phenomena and to avoid irregular vibration, the properties and performance of the DCAB system were explored in detail by using three numerical methods for verifying the accuracy of the numerical results. The rotor behavior was also studied by analyzing the spectral response, the bifurcation phenomenon, Poincaré maps, and the maximum Lyapunov exponent. The numerical results indicate that chaos occurs in the DCAB system for specific ranges of the rotor mass and bearing number. For example, when the rotor mass (mr) is 5.7 kg, chaotic regions where the maximum Lyapunov exponents are greater than 0 occur at bearing number ranges of 3.96–3.98 and 4.63–5.02. The coupling effect of the rotor mass and bearing number was also determined. This effect can provide an important guideline for avoiding an unstable state.

Published: September 2020

Sonoran felids are threatened by drought and habitat fragmentation. Vector range expansion and anthropogenic factors such as habitat encroachment and climate change are altering viral evolutionary dynamics and exposure. However, little is known about the diversity of viruses present in these populations. Small felid populations with lower genetic diversity are likely to be most threatened with extinction by emerging diseases, as with other selective pressures, due to having less adaptive potential. We used a metagenomic approach to identify novel circoviruses, which may have a negative impact on the population viability, from confirmed bobcat (Lynx rufus) and puma (Puma concolor) scats collected in Sonora, Mexico. Given some circoviruses are known to cause disease in their hosts, such as porcine and avian circoviruses, we took a non-invasive approach using scat to identify circoviruses in free-roaming bobcats and puma. Three circovirus genomes were determined, and, based on the current species demarcation, they represent two novel species. Phylogenetic analyses reveal that one circovirus species is more closely related to rodent associated circoviruses and the other to bat associated circoviruses, sharing highest genome-wide pairwise identity of approximately 70% and 63%, respectively. At this time, it is unknown whether these scat-derived circoviruses infect felids, their prey, or another organism that might have had contact with the scat in the environment. Further studies should be conducted to elucidate the host of these viruses and assess health impacts in felids.

The knowledge of genomic data of new plant viruses is increasing exponentially; however, some aspects of their biology, such as vectors and host range, remain mostly unknown. This information is crucial for the understanding of virus–plant interactions, control strategies, and mechanisms to prevent outbreaks. Typically, rhabdoviruses infect monocot and dicot plants and are vectored in nature by hemipteran sap-sucking insects, including aphids, leafhoppers, and planthoppers. However, several strains of a potentially whitefly-transmitted virus, papaya cytorhabdovirus, were recently described: (i) bean-associated cytorhabdovirus (BaCV) in Brazil, (ii) papaya virus E (PpVE) in Ecuador, and (iii) citrus-associated rhabdovirus (CiaRV) in China. Here, we examine the potential of the Bemisia tabaci Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) to transmit BaCV, its morphological and cytopathological characteristics, and assess the incidence of BaCV across bean producing areas in Brazil. Our results show that BaCV is efficiently transmitted, in experimental conditions, by B. tabaci MEAM1 to bean cultivars, and with lower efficiency to cowpea and soybean. Moreover, we detected BaCV RNA in viruliferous whiteflies but we were unable to visualize viral particles or viroplasm in the whitefly tissues. BaCV could not be singly isolated for pathogenicity tests, identification of the induced symptoms, and the transmission assay. BaCV was detected in five out of the seven states in Brazil included in our study, suggesting that it is widely distributed throughout bean producing areas in the country. This is the first report of a whitefly-transmitted rhabdovirus.
The Molecular Interactions of ZIKV and DENV with the Type-I IFN Response
Authors: Coldbeck-Shackley Rosa C. , Eyre Nicholas S. , Beard Michael R.
Published: September 2020

Zika Virus (ZIKV) and Dengue Virus (DENV) are related viruses of the Flavivirus genus that cause significant disease in humans. Existing control measures have been ineffective at curbing the increasing global incidence of infection for both viruses and they are therefore prime targets for new vaccination strategies. Type-I interferon (IFN) responses are important in clearing viral infection and for generating efficient adaptive immune responses towards infection and vaccination. However, ZIKV and DENV have evolved multiple molecular mechanisms to evade type-I IFN production. This review covers the molecular interactions, from detection to evasion, of these viruses with the type-I IFN response. Additionally, we discuss how this knowledge can be exploited to improve the design of new vaccine strategies.

El gobierno de la Coalición Republicana Socialista en Puerto Rico: los trabajadores y la política de la “paz industrial”, 1933-1940
Authors: Ríos González Iyari
Published: September 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la política laboral de la paz industrial impulsada en Puerto Rico por el gobierno de la Coalición Republicana Socialista entre 1933 - 1940. La Comisión de Mediación y Conciliación adscrita al Departamento del Trabajo desempeñó una función fundamental en su ejecución. El Comisionado del Trabajo, mediante informes anuales, parece confirmar la efectividad de esa comisión implementando una política laboral que busca promover la paz, el orden y estabilidad en un gobierno donde comparten el poder dos partidos políticos que representan grupos que pertenecen a clases sociales con intereses económicos distintos.En este artículo abordo la percepción de los trabajadores sobre el desempeño de la Comisión de Mediación y Conciliación en tres conflictos obrero-patronales importantes por su tamaño y el impacto que tuvo en el quehacer social y económico de Puerto Rico. A través del análisis, se observa que los trabajadores tienen una percepción distinta sobre el resultado de estos conflictos a la expresada por el Comisionado del Trabajo en sus informes anuales y ofrezco piezas de evidencias que apuntan a que la política de la paz industrial no tuvo la efectiva indicada en los informes de las autoridades públicas.
Bandidos y sátiros: dos casos en Paraguay (1920-1930)
Authors: Campos Herib Caballero
Published: September 2020

Este artículo analiza los casos de dos bandidos que actuaron en el Paraguay entre 1920 y 1930, en distintas circunstancias. El primer caso es el de Plácido Jara, amparado por uno de los sectores políticos en disputa en la Guerra Civil de 1922-1923. Jara asoló diversas poblaciones del Paraguay, sembrando el terror entre los habitantes indefensos frente a su montonera. El segundo caso es el José T. Cáceres que además de bandido fue un santón que recorría las poblaciones del Ñeembucú al sur de la capital paraguaya, Asunción. Cuando Cáceres fue denunciado por un sacerdote, provocó un motín en el cual sus seguidores se enfrentaron al ejército. Este estudio es un primer acercamiento a los bandidos paraguayos desde una perspectiva histórica, utilizando las definiciones conceptuales de Eric Hobsbawm y Hugo Chumbita sobre la temática abordada.
El Ejército argentino en la historia del siglo XX. Nuevos abordajes en torno a un viejo actor
Authors: Divinzenso Alicia
Published: September 2020

Preguntarse por el Ejército en el siglo XX argentino es quizás volver a visitar uno de los actores más profusamente estudiados de la historia argentina contemporánea. Desde el golpe de Estado de 1930, las Fuerzas Armadas (en adelante, FF.AA.) fueron adquiriendo un creciente poder de intervención en la vida política que se expresó en su capacidad de presión a los gobiernos democráticos y en los sucesivos golpes de Estado. El nivel de autonomía llegó a dimensiones desconocidas cuando en 1976, se hicieron con el poder y comandaron una estrategia represiva de características inéditas. Luego de la derrota en la Guerra de Malvinas, las FF.AA. comenzaron a recorrer un camino inverso, evidenciando un proceso de crisis profesional e institucional.
Excepcionalidad jurídica y contrainsurgencia: claves para pensar la racionalidad militar en los inicios del terror de Estado en Argentina (1973-1976)
Authors: Pontoriero Esteban Damián
Published: September 2020

Este artículo analiza dos factores centrales de las condiciones de posibilidad del terror de Estado ejecutado por las Fuerzas Armadas argentinas durante la década del setenta: la construcción de un estado de excepción y el desarrollo de una doctrina de “guerra antisubversiva”. En primer lugar, se explora la situación de excepcionalidad jurídica creada por el Estado nacional mediante una serie de leyes y decretos de defensa y seguridad interna desde la década del sesenta hasta 1975. En segundo lugar, se estudia la doctrina de la “guerra antisubversiva” desarrollada por el Ejército, la principal arma encargada de la represión clandestina, a partir de los crímenes que ésta podría llegar a permitir en el marco de supuestas acciones de combate. El objetivo de este artículo es, entonces, indagar los límites porosos entre la legalidad y la ilegalidad en la política de defensa y en la doctrina contrainsurgente, en vistas de reponer la racionalidad militar que habilitó la implementación del terror estatal.
Normative Disagreements and Choice of Legal Concepts .
Authors: BELYAEV MAXIM A.
Published: September 2020

The paper provides a commentary on the theses of the German jurist
Lorenz Kähler on the formation of legal concepts. The author eliminates truth-characterization of normative judgments because there are no justification for these judgments. However, if we consider normative judgments as one of the factors in the
choice of legal concepts in the formation of a legal text, then the subjects who find
themselves in a situation of disagreement on any of the concepts should refer to the
normative facts (values, reasons, and obligations). Therefore, by allowing this type of
disagreement, we implicitly accept normative realism as true. The author did not indicate what a normative anti-realist should refer to in controversial situations. Since
Lorenz Kähler himself is anti-realistic about normative facts, his position is either contradictory or not good elaborated for understanding.

Published: September 2020

Quasicrystal hole arrays are expected to be adopted as new focusing optical elements, owing to the characteristic self-imaging effect and the possibility of overcoming the diffraction limit. Using one such element, we achieved soft X-ray focusing. We designed a fivefold symmetric quasicrystal based on a Penrose tiling pattern consisting of 301 1.5 μm diameter holes. The light source was 10 nm synchrotron radiation. The observed diffraction pattern agreed well with the results of Fraunhofer-approximation simulations. Furthermore, the focal spot size was estimated by direct CCD imaging and found to be sufficiently small, in line with simulation results.

Fog computing brings cloud services closer to the network’s Edge. Despite various applications in today’s world, these applications lack in data security aspects. Developers have few solutions that need to be tested thoroughly. Data encipherment is one of the most popular mechanisms to protect data confidentiality, data integrity, etc. We propose two steps flexible dynamic scalable model in which the system will dynamically choose an encryption mechanism depending on the access frequency of data being encrypted. If data is frequently accessed, then the model will choose the algorithm with minimum computational complexity. In next step, model will use a scalable approach to decide the security strength needed by determining size of encryption key. A longer key will be used to encrypt more sensitive and secretive data automatically by security model and a smaller key will be used to encrypt public data or less sensitive, saving the fog node from computation overload. Our model is more secure and dynamic in nature with scalable security strength.
