A Secured Multi Agent Architecture for Grid Computing

Grid computing provides big possibilities like resource sharing, resource virtualization, and capacity planning since diverse resources that are geographically dispersed are virtualized as a single entity. The associated security concerns are one of the key obstacles preventing grid computing from being broadly adopted and used. Users in a grid are concerned about the security of their assets and the privacy of their data. A host's security in terms of its data or virtual servers may be jeopardised when it interacts with a grid. By providing multilateral security, i.e., security for both the Grid client and the Grid supplier, our building design expands the degree of assurance that can be placed on the accuracy of a Grid calculation and the assurance of client-provided resources. We discuss the issue of ensuring security and present the multi-agent security construction analysis. The paper outlines a multi-agent strategy for protecting the grid environment's resources. The strategy is put forth to address the grid computing industry's growing, serious security issue. The paper defines a multi-agent security architecture that integrates the capabilities of agents with the Grid Security Infrastructure's basic security mechanism (GSI). A security Master agent and a few security task execution agents make up the strategy

A comparative study of intravenous dexmedetomidine and midazolam on prolongation of spinal anesthesia

Background: The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous dexmedetomidine and midazolam on prolongation of spinal anesthesia.Methods: The study population included people who were undergoing for spinal anesthesia for various surgeries. A total of 90 subject were randomized equally to Dexmedetomidine, Midazolam and saline groups using a computer generated random number sequence. Three study groups were compared with respect to all the baseline variables. The key outcome parameters and hemodynamic parameters were compared among the three study groups.Results: No statistically significant differences were observed in baseline paramters across study groups. The median values of patient satisfaction score and anesthesiologist satisfaction score were almost equal among three study groups, but the association was statistically not significant. The median VAS and the median HSL were slightly lower in dexmedetomidine group than other two groups (VAS-1,2,3 respectively and HSL -4,6,6 respectively) with statistically significant association (P0.05) except with number of patients requiring analgesic for the first 24 hours (P value<0.05).Conclusions: Measurement of patient and anesthesiologist satisfaction scores are more or less similar in midazolam and dexmedetomidine groups compare to saline group

A Stochastic Model for Mean Time to Seroconversion of HIV Transmission with Change of Threshold Under Correlated Intercontact Times

This paper focuses on the study of a stochastic model for predicting seroconvesion time of HIV transmission with change of threshold under correlated intercontact times. The antigenic diversity threshold is an important aspect of consideration in the studies relating to HIV infection.  Successive sexual contacts are the mode of transmission of HIV would result in acquiring more of HIV which contribute to the antigenic diversity of the antigen. As and when the cumulative antigenic diversity contributed due to successive contacts crosses the antigenic diversity threshold, seroconversion takes place. In developing this model the result of Gurland (1955) has been used. The mean time to seroconversion and its variance are derived and the numerical illustrations are provided

Phenotypic characterization and genetic analysis for identification of trait-specific germplasm in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

An experiment conducted at TNAU, Coimbatore, during the rabi season of 2023-2024, evaluated 105 sunflower germplasm lines using ARBD. The ANOVA indicated significant differences among twelve traits, with high genetic variability observed in oil yield per plant, seed yield per plant, and hundred seed weight. Heritability and genetic advance were notably high for plant height, seed yield per plant, and oil yield per plant. Correlation analysis showed that seed yield per plant was positively correlated with plant height, head diameter, hundred seed weight, oil content, and oil yield per plant but negatively with leaf size. Path analysis revealed that oil yield per plant had the most substantial positive direct effect on seed yield, while oil content had the most significant negative direct effect. Plant height, head diameter, and hundred seed weight positively influenced yield indirectly through oil yield per plant but negatively via oil content. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identified four principal components with Eigen values greater than 1, explaining 62.91 % of the variability. Notably, diverse genotypes included CB-GMU1189, CB-GMU-400, and CB-IB-62. Mahalanobis D2 statistics identified seven clusters, with Cluster 1 containing the most genotypes and Clusters 6 and 7 showing the highest inter-cluster distance, indicating significant genetic diversity. Cluster 5 had the highest mean for several traits. The sunflower germplasm accessions exhibited considerable variability in morphological characteristics such as hypocotyl pigmentation, leaf blistering, leaf serration, petiole pigmentation, stem pigmentation, ray floret shape, stigma pigmentation, seed shape, seed stripes, and seed stripe colour. Therefore, the accessions identified for superior traits include 14 genotypes for very high yield (&gt;35 g/plant), five for high seed oil content (40-43 %), and 22 for high 100-seed weight (&gt;6 g) and can be considered as superior trait-specific accessions in sunflower

Synthesis of an ordered mesoporous carbon with graphitic characteristics and its application for dye adsorption

An ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was prepared by a chemical vapor deposition technique using liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as the carbon source. During synthesis, LPG was effectively adsorbed in the ordered mesopores of SBA-15 silica and converted to a graphitic carbon at 800 °C. X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption/desorption data and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) of the OMC confirmed its ordered mesoporous structure. The OMC was utilized as an adsorbent in the removal of dyes from aqueous solution. A commercial powder activated carbon (AC) was also investigated to obtain comparative data. The efficiency of the OMC for dye adsorption was tested using acidic dye acid orange 8 (AO8) and basic dyes methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RB). The results show that adsorption was affected by the molecular size of the dye, the textural properties of carbon adsorbent and surface-dye interactions. The adsorption capacities of the OMC for acid orange 8 (AO8), methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RB) were determined to be 222, 833, and 233 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption capacities of the AC for AO8, MB, and RB were determined to be 141, 313, and 185 mg/ g, respectively. The OMC demonstrated to be an excellent adsorbent for the removal of MB from wastewater.Web of Scienc
