Published: January 2023

Many practical queuing situations with congestion control mechanism due to high throughput demands in telecommunication systems, computer network and production systems can be formulated as finite queues with setup time and state dependent arrivals. This chapter deals with computational scheme to compute the exact stationary queue length distribution. In this chapter an efficient iterative algorithm is developed for computing the stationary queue length distribution in M/G/K/N queues with setup time and arbitrary state dependent arrival rates. The overall computation of the algorithm is O(N2) is complexicity. It can be of great use in application since it is easy to implement fast and quite accurate.
Alternate Path Selection in IP Networks using Bandwidth Optimization
Authors: Devi A. Indira , Arthi N.
Published: January 2023

Computer communication has been going through major changes throughout the last decades. Since TCP/IP was a protocol designed for wired networks, wireless transmission poses unique challenges to the well-defined and rigid protocol stack. Routing in ISP environment is challenging the clear path when the IP link was failure. In this paper, a Cross-layer approach is used to minimize routing disruption in IP networks. A model called probabilistically correlated failure (PCF) model was developed to quantify the impact of IP link failure on the reliability of backup paths. In PCF model, an algorithm is used to choose multiple reliable backup paths to protect each IP link. When an IP link fails, its traffic is split onto multiple backup paths to ensure that the rerouted traffic load on each IP link does not exceed the usable bandwidth. To evaluate this issue, the system has to be developed with real ISP service in particular network topology support. Entire path is initially used to select specific path, then backed up path are reused and tested by splitting entire bandwidth based on usage. The probability result will ensure the reliability and dedicated path of data transfer purpose. This kind of approach resolve the issue rose at high end data transaction application like VOIP, Video streaming etc.
The Role of Biopesticides as a Challenge and Opportunities in the Field of Agriculture: A Review and Study of Green Chemistry
Authors: Pandey Gaurav
Published: January 2023

Green chemistry and sustainableagriculture are inherentlyintertwined; farmers need greenchemists to make safe agriculturalchemical inputs. Green chemistsneed farmers practicing sustainableagriculture to provide truly ―green‖bio-based raw materials to processinto new products.Green Chemistry connectswith sustainable agricultureas a consumer of agriculturalproducts, as a source forremediation technologies,and as a producer of inputs.In very general terms, according to the US EPA, biopesticides are pesticides derived fromnatural materials such as animals, plants, bacteria, and minerals. The two key categoriesfocused on in this report include biochemical and microbial pesticides (reviewing the third category of biopesticides, transgenic crops, was outside the scope of this report). Thesubcategories of biochemical pesticides introduced in this report include insect pheromones,plant extracts and oils, plant growth regulators and insect growth regulators. Microbialpesticide subcategories discussed include bacteria, virus, fungus, and other less commonmicroorganisms. Biopesticide solutions often require the grower to learn new application techniques and new ways of thinking about pest management. As noted, biopesticides are often highly specific and have very precise modes of action. This specificity can mean that workers can enter fields quickly after use, thus cutting wait times and offering more flexibility to the user. Specificity also means, however, that growers may need to purchase several different kinds of product to meet their pest management needs; this is a potential cost concern for growers. Biopesticides also require new skills and understanding of pests, their life cycles and how to use biopesticides to intercede effectively. This is both a challenge but also an opportunity for expanding a new category of skilled labor in the farm sector.

Published: January 2023

The main controllable parameters for the CNC turning machines are cutting tool variables, work piece material variables, and cutting conditions. The desired output is surface roughness, material removal rate and tools wear. Optimization of machining parameters needs to determine the most significant parameter for required output. Various techniques are used for optimization of machining parameters including Taguchi, RSM and ANOVA approach to determine most significant parameter. This work presents the findings of an experimental investigation into the effects of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut in CNC turning of Aluminium KS 1275. Response surface methodology (RSM) is used to accomplish the objective of the experimental study. Face centered central composite design has been used for conducting the experiments. The result from RSM reveals that feed is the most significant factor followed by depth of cut.

Introduction: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is endemic in India. In the present era of antibiotic resistance, the emergence of multi-drugs resistant organism is becoming more common. The present study is performed in patients admitted in hospital in various department of hospital to study the infection rate of MRSA from these units. Objectives: The aim of this study was to isolate Staphylococcus aureus from various samples of patients admitted in tertiary care hospital, to study the prevalence rate of MRSA in the hospital. Material and method: The study was conducted in TMMC RC hospital from January 2013 to Sepetember2013. A total of one hundred Staphylococcus aureus isolates from clinical samples were subjected to MRSA screening using Kirby-Bauer methods with cefoxitin 30μg discs per CLSI guidelines. Results: There were 225 different samples collected and all the samples were inoculated on Blood agar medium than incubated. After overnight incubation 100 Staphylococcus aureus were isolated, among which 26 were MRSA and 74 were MSSA has been isolated.The susceptibility pattern of antibiotics showed that all MRSA isolates were significantly less sensitivity to antibiotics as compared to MSSA. None of the MRSA strain showed resistance towards Vancomycin Linezolid. Conclusion: The emergence of MRSA and other antibiotic resistant organisms reflects widespread ubiquitous over-use of antibiotics on a global scale. Control measures are required to prevent spread and reduce emergence of resistance.
Stability and Achieving Maximum Throughput Using Slotted Aloha and Csma with Multipacket Reception
Authors: Sangeetha A. , Parthiban K. , Gopi R.
Published: January 2023

The random access protocols with multi packet reception (MPR), which include both slotted-Aloha and slotted τ-persistent CSMA protocols. For both protocols, each node makes a transmission attempt in a slot with a given probability. The transmission channel is divided into equal slot using slotted-Aloha, then CSMA is used to check whether the channel is idle or not. CSMA is used to avoid collision that is occurred during transmission. Toward receive the optimal transmission probability maximizing a system throughput for both protocols and to develop a simple random access protocol with MPR, this achieves a system throughput close to the maximum value. Optimal transmission probability in the slotted-Aloha protocol is a good approximation for the τ-persistent CSMA protocol. A simple τ-persistent CSMA protocol with MPR is proposed which dynamically adjusts the transmission probability τ depending on the estimated number of active nodes, and thus can achieve a system throughput close to the maximum value.
Effectively Secure Data Retrieving for Using Three Different Level Security
Authors: Priya R. Sathiya , Gokulakrishnan V.
Published: January 2023

The efficient message authentication is one of the most effective ways to thwart unauthorized and corrupted messages from being forwarded in wireless sensor networks. For this reason, many message authentication schemes have been developed, based on either symmetric key cryptosystems or parallel cryptosystems. Most of them, however, have the limitations of high complex and communication overhead in addition to lack of scalability and resilience to node compromise attacks. To solve these issues, a polynomial-based scheme was recently introduced. However, this scheme and its extensions all have the weakness of a built-in threshold determined by the degree of the polynomial based scheme: when the number of messages transmitted is larger than this threshold, the adversary can fully recover the polynomial. In this paper, we propose a scalable authentication scheme based on elliptic curve cryptography. While enabling intermediate nodes authentication, our proposed scheme allows any node to transmit an unlimited number of messages without suffering the threshold problem. In addition, our scheme can also provide message source privacy.
Stability and Capacity of Regular Information Theory and Communication Networks
Authors: S. Nirosa , V. Gokulakrishnan
Published: January 2023

The problem of throughput optimization in decentralized wireless networks with spatial randomness under queue stability and packet loss constraints are investigated. Two key performance measures are analyzed, namely the effective link throughput and the network spatial throughput. Specifically, the double of medium access probability, coding rate, and maximum number of retransmissions that maximize each throughput metric is analytically derived for a class of Poisson networks, in which packets arrive at the transmitters following a geometrical distribution. Necessary conditions so that the effective link throughput and the network spatial throughput are stable and achievable under bounded packet loss are determined, as well as upper bounds for both cases by considering the unconstrained optimization problem. It results show in which system configuration stable achievable throughput capacity obtained as a function of the network density and the arrival rate. Finally the time delay has get reduced at high rate. The throughput for the two nodes has been found efficiently.

Published: January 2023

The preservation and protection of the environment is an imperative in modern society. Unsystematic and inadequate handling of waste is one of the major problems of environmental policy in Serbia. This situation is primarily the consequence of the society’s inadequately developed attitude towards waste, and its failure to understand the positive effects of waste management. According to research, developing countries are, quite realistically, facing certain problems and challenges in this area. In the context of the subject of this paper, it is essential to point out that waste management belongs in the category of important environmental factors of tourism destination development. According to the Republic of Serbia visions of tourism to 2025, tourism is to become the leading promoter of the Republic of Serbia’s image in the world as a modern and desirable destination for visits, vacations and business alike, thus fulfilling the constant innovative function in the implementation of the modern standards, new technologies and protection of nature. The research part of the paper will be concerned with the opinion and perception of the professional public as regards the scope and practical applicability of the existing legal solutions and programmatic and planning documents in the waste management area.

The tourism industry is very sensitive to the influence of various crisis situations which can have smaller or greater negative impact on its development. Many tourist destinations closed their borders due to the development of a global pandemic of COVID-19, which resulted in a dramatic reduction of tourist turnover as well as the temporary stop of normal functioning of the tourism industry. Moreover, the current health crisis influenced significantly the changes in decision-making process of tourists when choosing a holiday destination and the way of organizing their journey. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relations among travel risk perception, tourist behavior during travel and the frequency of travel among Serbian residents when the individual characteristics of the respondents are controlled. Results of the empirical research indicate that tourist’s behavior during travel is positively connected with the travel risk perception. Furthermore, age and education affect the travel risk perception.

The main goal of this paper is to find out a possible increase in efficiency on the basis of data from the previous period - which refers to investments in various elements of tourist destinations. In this studyit would be done by the evaluation of relative technical efficiency of tourism sector in 24 Serbian regions using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The evaluation will enable an analysis of how to influence the increase of tourism efficiency in the future, based on results from the recent past. On the side of output two variables were used in the DEA model: number of tourists and number of overnight stays. Furthermore, four input variables were used: annual average share of employment in accommodation and food service activities, annual average share of employment in arts, entertainment and recreation, investments in accommodation and food service activities and investments in arts, entertainment and recreation. Output oriented DEA model with variable return to scale has been solved and results show that relative efficiency score values are between 10% and 100%. Average efficiency score is 81%, which indicate that majority of Serbian regions obtained high efficiency score values. It will turn out that investments can be crucial for the development of tourism, but there are also barriers, limitations in this type of analysis. The small amount of input and output data in the survey can only yield results that need to be further verified.

Нарушение липидного обмена – один из главных факторов риска развития атеросклероза у человека. В ходе полногеномных исследований ассоциаций выявлены десятки генов, варианты которых ответственны за предрасположенность к дислипидемиям. Однако многие из ассоциаций либо не подтверждаются при репликации, либо оказываются специфичными для отдельных популяций. Целью данной работы была оценка распространенности одного из наиболее плейотропных полиморфизмов генома человека – rs13107325 – в популяционной выборке подростков г. Новосибирска и анализ его ассоциации с показателями липидного обмена. В работе использовались образцы крови и данные обследования 1582 подростков, собранные в ходе стандартизированного медицинского обследования в НИИ терапии и профилактической медицины – филиале Института цитологии и генетики СО РАН. Генотипирование по rs13107325 гена SLC39A8 выполнено при помощи ПЦР в режиме реального времени, для оценки корреляции генотипов с показателями липидного обмена использовали однофакторный дисперсионный анализ. Установлено, что частота аллеля Т варианта rs13107325 (p = 0,05 ± 0,004) в европеоидной выборке Западной Сибири ниже наблюдаемой в европейских популяциях. Ассоциация с показателями липидного обмена (содержанием в сыворотке крови общего холестерина, триглицеридов и холестерина липопротеинов высокой плотности), а также индексом массы тела не обнаружена ни в целом, ни в какой-либо из групп, различавшихся периодами отбора проб и контрастными по среднему уровню потребления пищи. Данный факт может говорить о том, что вклад варианта rs13107325 в дислипидемии у подростков Западной Сибири незначителен, и средние показатели потребления пищи не влияют на пенетрантность rs13107325 в отношении нарушения липидного обмена и индекса массы тела.

"Objectives This paper proposes an infectious disease model incorporating two new model compartments, hospitalization, and intensive care unit. Methods The model dynamics are analyzed using the local and global stability theory of nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations. For the numerical simulations, we used the Rosenbrock method for stiff initial value problems. We obtained numerical simulations using MAPLE software. The returned MAPLE procedure was called only for points inside the range on which the method evaluated the numerical solution of the system with specified initial conditions. Results We proposed a new model to describe the dynamics of microparasitic infections. Numerical simulations revealed that the proposed model fitted with the expected behaviour of mi- croparasitic infections with ”acute epidemicity.” The numerical simulations showed consistency in the behaviour of the system. Conclusions The model proposed has ”robust” dynamics, supported by the global stability of its endemic state and the consistency of the numerical simulations regarding the model’s timeevolution behaviour. The introduction of the hospitalization and intensive care unit compartments in the proposed model revealed that it is essential to consider such policies in the case of ”acuteepidemicity” of microparasitic infections."

Role of Circular Economy, Green Marketing and Sustainable Development in Hotel Industry
Authors: Naikoo Manzoor Nabi , Arora Manik , Kumar Sanjeev
Published: January 2023

Today’s hotel industry is more organically conscious than ever before, and the demand for green products and services has grown up ruthlessly. This has led to imposing the principles of Green Marketing (GM), Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and Circular Economy (CE) in many hospitality companies, particularly among government and academia. Though, the existing literature shows that CE concepts are pragmatic and debated in manufacturing and production units only. The application of CE concepts in the food service sector, mainly in the hotel industry, appears to have received slight consideration. Therefore in this context, the central focus of the paper is relied on accessing the role of circular economy, green marketing, and sustainable development in the hotel industry. This study evaluates the multi-dimensional concept of CE in connection with GM and SDG by scrutinizing 45 nominated publications following the guiding principles of content analysis. The results were characterized into four extensive important themes: (1) Concept of Circular Economy (2) Sustainable Development Goal (3) Green Marketing; and (4) Sustainable future of Hotel Industry. The novelty of the study lies in its effort to conceptualize a complete framework of CE in connection with GM and SDG as the present literature inclines to be empirically tilted, ensuing in theoretical frameworks underused or useful in a fragmented way.

Agri-horti-silviculture system of agroforestry are very suitable to marginal or small farmers. The basic needs of food, fodder, fuel and timber for farmers in addition to its economic benefits can be easily fulfilled with this combination of cropping system. Among several combinations one of the suitable systems in hilly area with wheat, aonla and sissoo. A study was carried out to evaluate the performance of wheat as under storey crop with different proportion of tree combinations. Five treatments viz. 100% Emblica officinalis, 75% Emblica officinalis + 25% Dalbergia sissoo, 50% Emblica officinalis + 50% Dalbergia sissoo, 25% Emblica officinalis + 75% Dalbergia sissoo and 100% Dalbergia sissoo were selected for the study. Wheat production trend was evaluated continuously for two years from 2017-18 to 2018-19. One-year old trees were planted with desired combinations in all the treatments. Wheat variety JW-3173 was grown in all two years. Significantly highest grain yield was recorded in agroforestry (AF) with 100% Aonla (1758.25 and 1519.5 kg/ha/yr during 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively) than all other treatments. In case of straw yield and harvest index same trend was observed during both the years. The reduction of yield was observed due to increase of canopy of tree during subsequent years.

Residents’ support for tourism development: Investigating quality-of-life, community commitment, and communication
Authors: Yayla Özgür , Koç Burcu , Dimanche Frederic
Published: January 2023

This study argues that when overall tourism impacts are positive, residents’ quality of life (QOL) increases, thereby positively affecting their attitudes towards tourism initiatives. The study also identifies several other important relationships that have been ignored in the literature. First, QOL may be a crucial push factor for community commitment, which in turn can trigger support for additional tourism development. Second, communication with tourists may moderate the links between QOL, community commitment, and tourism support. Data were collected from 468 residents living in Manavgat, Turkey and analyzed using structural equation modeling and Hayes’s PROCESS macro. The findings show that as the perception of the positive effects of tourism increases, opinions about the QOL will also be optimistic. Importantly, QOL strengthens both tourism support and community commitment. Additionally, community commitment mediates the link between QOL and attitudes towards tourism development. Finally, community commitment increases support for tourism, which is stronger for residents who communicate more with tourists.

Authors: Gross Sven , Sand Manuel , Berger Theo
Published: January 2023

Adventure tourism has established itself as a concept and a field of research within tourism. While the German tourism market is one of the biggest in the world, no evidence exists on the German adventure traveller. In adventure tourism research in general, there is little evidence on how personality, motives, and socio-demographic factors distinguish the choice for soft and hard adventure activities. Therefore, this quota-based survey among 1,500 German travellers does investigate demographics, motives and personality aspects. A logistic regression analysis is performed to categorize tourists into soft and hard adventure travellers. Gender and age are descriptive characteristics, as well as extraversion and going on adventures to get to know oneself better. This research helps to better understand German hard adventure travellers and enables operators to cater specifically to the needs of the target group.

As a generalization of crisp topology, neutrosophic crisp topology was introduced. As a progression, binary neutrosophic crisp sets were introduced in this article and their properties were also studied. With the idea that neutrosophic crisp points forms the basis for the neutrosophic neighborhood structures, new points namely binary neutrosophic crisp points were introduced in this article. Owing to the new points, binary neutrosophic neighborhood structure in the new space named as binary neutrosophic crisp topological space is framed. Eventually properties of binary neutrosophic crisp neighborhoods were discussed.

The world has always suffered and from diseases and epidemics, and the coronavirus is one of the most dangerous viruses that threatened human life that requires the use of all scientific methods and means to respond to it and reduce its spread by early detection of infections and taking necessary measures In view of the significant role that artificial intelligence plays in most fields of science, it has become one of the most important scientific methods used to resolve complex issues and has been harnessed in medical diagnosis, one of the most complex areas. Many AI and machine learning algorithms have been used to diagnose and detect diseases in general and coronavirus in particular. The support vector machine (svm) machine algorithm was one of the most important algorithms in this area and is one of the most effective compilations used in the knowledge extraction process In spite of all this, the results they present remain incomplete because classification issues do not deal with cognitive uncertainties such as ambiguity, neutrality and inconsistency associated with perception of human thinking, This adversely affects the work of a classic support vector machine and affects the accurate diagnosis of the disease To solve this problem, we have done this research using a Neutrosophic Support Vector Machine because it takes into account all possible cases during the study of the sample and it reduces the impact of extreme values. This increases the accuracy of the results when diagnosing coronavirus symptoms. The study was conducted according to the following steps: 1. We extract features from chest radiographs based on GLCM 2. We form a neutrosophic dataset. 3. We train Neutrosophic Support Machine N-SVM on new data. 4. We record the results. Comparing the results, we got using the upgraded N-SVM algorithm with the classic SVM algorithm results we found that it gives a more accurate diagnosis of the disease.
Together Apart
Authors: Meinert Lotte
Published: January 2023

This chapter focuses on fence work in the life worlds of elderly people from the Ik community in Uganda, and on fence work as an imagistic concept, as a way of thinking about relationality and care. I attend to the perplexing particulars of an old man, his decaying fences, intimate others and his small actions of sharing, with the purpose of shaking up our understanding and ‘defrost’ conventions about intersubjectivity, relationality, and individuality. Ideas about relationality in African discourse have (with exceptions) highlighted the social and positive side of relationality. In the Ik context Turnbull was quick to label what he saw during famine as selfishness, but I point to another side of individuality and sharing: The need to be able to withdraw from the social, being ‘apart’ to be able to be ‘a part’ of sociality. The management of fences, and fences within fences, in Ik villages are largely about managing closeness and distance in social relations, and this speaks to the universal importance of these modalities. It also speaks to aging in particular: When even one's bodily functions cannot be fenced off, the good life, reckoned as successful management of closeness and distance, can be hard to attain.
Imagining Self and Other
Authors: Gill Harmandeep Kaur
Published: January 2023

This chapter explores the search for care in the everyday life of an elderly Tibetan woman, Mola Tsering Wangmo, who was physically disabled and was aging in the absence of family. Her everyday life was pervaded by uncertainty in relation to both her own body and the non-kin networks she relied on in the absence of family. By exploring the non-kin networks of support she relied on a daily basis, this chapter attempts to make sense of Mola Tsering Wangmo's notions of good and bad care. It is argued that her expectations of care have to be understood in relation to her physical condition, cultural expectations and the singularities of her life. Moreover, these expectations were hinged onto certain imaginations of herself, others, and a possible old age. Thus, this chapter explores the imagistic as certain imaginations of oneself and others. It is argued that the diverse imaginations of herself and a possible old age were for Mola Tsering Wangmo a means for transcending the closure imposed by a disabled body and were essential to endure things falling apart.
Protest at the Void
Authors: Singh Devin
Published: January 2023

Despite its globalized pretensions to totality, neoliberal capitalism is more fragile and fractured than its exponents or opponents readily admit. Maintenance of fragility is central to contemporary capitalism's operation, and Singh proposes that this behavior may have been learned from Christianity. Engaging in critical examination of the Christian doctrine of the ascension, Singh traces a genealogy of our economic present and finds a resource for Christian protest against it. If the oddity of the ascension, and all its attendant teachings and practices, funds neoliberalized capitalism's denial of vulnerability and claim to supremacy, it may also ground Christian discourse that distends capitalist structures and fosters socio-economic-political alternatives.
Whiteness and Civilization
Authors: Schaefer Donovan O.
Published: January 2023

This chapter proposes that rather than viewing Donald Trump’s rise to political power as indicative of an ideological shift, it is best seen through the prism of affect. Trump’s coalition was motivated by a particular configuration of white shame in the aftermath of liberal and progressive challenges to white dominance. Using affect theory, the chapter shows that multiple sites of Trump’s support—rural whites, white evangelicals, and the (white) online alt-right—comprise an aggressive response to perceived challenges to white dignity.
Rootedness on the Slippery Earth
Authors: Flores Nichole M.
Published: January 2023

This chapter examines the Latine protest tradition as it applies to movements for migrant justice in the U. S., acknowledging twentieth-century roots in the United Farm Workers movement and sixteenth-century roots in la Virgen de Guadalupe’s appearance to Juan Diego. The chapter sketches a philosophical framework for treating transitoriness and contingency within theological aesthetics (an alternative to aesthetics based on transcendentals of being) to serve a social ethics of rootedness (an alternative to virtue ethics). It highlights distinctive Latine religious contributions, coming from devotions and liturgy, to democratic conversations and work toward justice for immigrants.
LGBTQ+ Politics and the Queer Thresholds of Heresy
Authors: Han Ju Hui Judy
Published: January 2023

Showing how struggles in some U.S. Protestant denominations have counterparts elsewhere (in this case, in Presbyterian churches in South Korea), this chapter examines the condemnation of Reverend Lim Borah for heresy (idan) by the largest evangelical denomination in South Korea for her contributions to queer theology and LGBTQ+ ministry. The Lim case reveals the political function of heresy. Evangelical Protestants in South Korea have employed heresy to discredit and silence dissenting minorities and demarcate the boundaries of socially acceptable behavior. Paradoxically, however, Han maintains that heresy serves not only to stifle dissent, but also to uncover it. Han contends that the exercise of institutional power reveals its limits in the Lim case by rendering visible “new queer vitalities” and by highlighting the power of dissenting movements to interrogate the legitimacy of anti-LGBTQ+ orthodoxy.
Look Round for Poetry
Authors: McGrath Brian
Published: January 2023

In his 1798 Advertisement to Lyrical Ballads, William Wordsworth anticipates that readers accustomed to the poetic norms of the day might not recognize his experiments as poems and might signal their awkward confusion upon opening the book by looking round for poetry, as if seeking it elsewhere. Look Round for Poetry transforms Wordsworth's idiomatic expression into a methodological charge. In chapters that spring from readings of poems by Wordsworth, Lucille Clifton, John Keats, and Percy Bysshe Shelley, the book places tropes and figures common to Romantic and Post-Romantic poems in conjunction with contemporary discourse, using poetry's untimeliness to investigate poetic understatement alongside market demands for more, the rhetoric of economic downturns, cloud computing, the election of the dead to office, political beginnings, and the importance of prepositions to community and political assembly. That poetry is all around us is a trite truism this book exploits and challenges. For poetry to retain a vital power, we need to become ignorant of what we think we mean by it, but in the process we may discover resources for generating new critical vocabularies that engage the complexity of social life.
