The security mechanisms for various wired networks are more or less well-defined. Especially when intrusion detection and prevention techniques are considered, wired networks appear to be in a much better status than their wireless counter-parts. Indeed, security concerns are, still, a significant impediment to widespread adoption of wireless netwo

Persicaria odorata is a common plant and well known locally as “daun kesum” that is usually used in culinary and have various medicinal properties. This study is conducted to investigate the antimicrobial activity and the chemical constituent of the most active extract. The leaves were extracted using n-hexane, dichloromethane, methanol and wat

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has shown great promise for various futuristic applications both for mass public and military. The sensing technology combined with processing power and wireless communication makes it attractive for being exploited in abundance in future. On the other hand, the inclusion of wireless communication technology with its o

Recent developments in wireless/wired sensor networks allowed the application of stationary sensors capable of continuously collecting and transmitting hydraulic and water quality measurements at fine temporal resolution. The constantly updating data allows achieving an improved representation of the system state, modeling, and control. The deploym

This chapter presents a different approach of tackling intruders in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). Traditional approach of intruder detection and prevention suggests purging out intruders immediately after their detection. In our work, we take a different approach to tackle intruder rather than purging it out of the network unless it is marked as a

This article explores the potential role of Fi-Wi (Fibre-Wireless) networks in supporting the future cloud computing model. As Fi-Wi could be the next wave of advancements in networking and communications infrastructure considering the current trends, the article analyses various facets of the issue from theoretical and practical perspectives. This

Background: Excessive sugar intake affectsthe quality of nutritional status and overall health issues among people globally. Thus, reduction in the amount of sugar consumption using low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) in foods and beverages have become a key focus for a healthier diet among consumers. However, recent studies assessing the disadvantages of
