Wireless Sensor Network to Determine the Moisture Level & Energy Efficiency of Soil
-Sakshi Gupta ; Ajeet Gupta
The cluster head selection process is based on a node with a minimum average distance to all other nodes. Each sensor node then sends its moisture level to the cluster head, which calculates the average moisture level based on the received data. In a real-world scenario, we need to consider more factors, such as communication protocols, energy consumption, data aggregation techniques, error handling and deployment strategies. The code represents the basic simulation of a wireless sensor network for soil-moisture monitoring. It defines a network with multiple sensor nodes and cluster head. Each sensor node measures the soil properties (e.g., moisture and temperature) and transmits the data to the cluster head. The cluster head collects data from all the sensor nodes and computes the energy efficiency of the soil based on the received data. This code represents a basic simulation of a wireless sensor network for soil monitoring with a major focus on energy efficiency. Each sensor node measures the soil properties and transmits data to the cluster head. The cluster head then computes the energy efficiency of the soil based on the received data.

Assessing the Impact of Increased MixColumns on AES Encryption Security and Performance
-Prathmesh Deshkar ; Ritesh Pandey
This work focuses on the influence of design changes in the 192-bit AES, specifically in the MixColumns step, aiming to enhance security metrics. We evaluated key parameters such as entropy, avalanche effect, Key Input Variation Analysis, and execution time. Our results suggest that entropy due to the proposed change in the AES ranges approximately from 4.0535 to 4.4183, compared to the standard AES range of approximately 3.9183 to 4.3349. The average avalanche effect ratio improved to approximately 0.5094 from 0.4844 in the standard AES. Additionally, the Hamming distance increased to approximately 75.4 from 71.6, indicating higher sensitivity to input changes and better resistance to differential cryptanalysis. These enhancements in security, however, come with an approximate increase in execution time of 10%, which is significant. Despite this, the performance trade-offs may be justified for the improved security observed in this study. Nonetheless, the increase in execution time remains a crucial consideration when selecting the modified AES for specific applications. These findings provide valuable insights for decision-makers balancing the choice between highly secure cryptographic techniques and optimal performance. Read More...

Industrial Ailments: Trends and Afflictions
-Naveen Kumar Mahto
Refers to the deteriorating health or declining performance of industrial units, often leading to their closure or bankruptcy. Understanding the trends and patterns of industrial ailments is crucial for policymakers, economists, and industry stakeholders to devise effective intervention strategies. These abstract aims to provide an overview of the prevalent trends and afflictions in industrial ailments. One prominent trend in industrial sickness is the cyclical nature of economic downturns. During periods of recession or economic instability, industrial units are more susceptible to sickness due to reduced consumer demand, tightening credit conditions, and increased competition. Conversely, during periods of economic expansion, the incidence of industrial sickness tends to decrease as businesses thrive in a more favourable environment. Another key pattern observed in industrial ailments is the sectoral variation in susceptibility. Certain industries, such as manufacturing, textiles, and heavy engineering, are more prone to sickness due to factors like technological obsolescence, high capital intensity, and stiff competition from imports. On the other hand, sectors like information technology, pharmaceuticals, and services exhibit greater resilience to sickness owing to their adaptability, innovation, and lower vulnerability to external shocks. Furthermore, the size and age of industrial units play a significant role in determining their likelihood of sickness. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face greater challenges in accessing finance, technology, and skilled labor, making them more susceptible to ailments, especially during economic downturns. Similarly, older establishments may struggle with outdated infrastructure, inefficient processes, and changing market dynamics, increasing their risk of sickness compared to newer, more agile firms. In addition to these trends and patterns, the regulatory and policy environment also influences the prevalence of industrial sickness. Inadequate legal frameworks, bureaucratic hurdles, and lax enforcement of regulations can exacerbate the problem by fostering an environment of non-compliance, corruption, and unfair competition. In conclusion, understanding the trends and patterns in industrial sickness is essential for devising targeted policies and interventions to mitigate its adverse effects on the economy, employment, and social well-being. By addressing the root causes and vulnerabilities associated with industrial sickness, policymakers can foster a more resilient and sustainable industrial landscape. Read More...
