 Abstract

In Wireless Networks, MANETs can dynamically create a network without relying on a central hub or infrastructure. These features will be helpful for scenarios such as disaster relief or military operations. However, the absence of a central authority presents challenges concerning security and routing, affecting the network's stability and capabilities. A proposed scheme incorporates the consideration of the power factor when selecting routes to handle the challenges efficiently. These are integrated with the widely used AODV routing protocol and simulated using the NS-2 simulator. We evaluate the simulated results to determine the impact of the proposed scheme on the network. The simulation outcomes demonstrate that the suggested approach significantly improves network performance concerning power consumption and stability. Including the power factor in route selection positively influences the network's capacity to maintain efficient communication and reduce the energy consumed. Review based Analysis.

 Abstract

This paper presents a systematic review on different thermal comfort models in Indian residential buildings, to identify which model and building techniques are best suitable for designing affordable housing in warm and humid climate in India. Many case studies and models were reviewed and it was found that comfort studies in Indian residential buildings are scarce, scattered and unorganized. Further, due to differences in socio-cultural set-up and local adaptations, the prodigious variations in occupant's comfort requirements are reported. A literature case study is been done in which a longitudinal field research and in-situ field measurements are used to examine thermal adaptation in Mumbai, India's low-income homes. The comfort-related behaviours in low-income dwellings were influenced by temporal considerations, spatial arrangement, and underlying societal norms. Rather than thermal needs, the gendered socio-cultural practice of the purdah regime and western influences dominated clothing adaption. The study is useful in assessing how occupant behaviour affects building performance, which helps to guide building operation and design. The creation of design criteria for housing plans to produce low-income, thermally comfortable homes could have policy implications.

Abstract: In the intricate realm of global commerce, nations constantly seek an equilibrium between fostering their domestic industries and adhering to international trade obligations. The Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures (TRIMs) , established under the auspices of the World Trade Organization (WTO), aims to curtail investment policies that can distort trade. Yet, protectionist measures, driven by national economic interests, often stand at odds with the principles of TRIMs. This paper dives into the dialectical relationship between these protectionist measures and the TRIMs Agreement, unravelling the complexities they introduce to the global trade landscape. Protectionist measures, encompassing a range of policies from tariffs to subsidies to quotas, primarily serve to shield domestic industries from external competition. These measures, often borne out of economic nationalism or strategic interests, have seen a resurgence in recent years, especially amidst geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainties. On the other hand, the TRIMs Agreement, grounded in the principles of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994, particularly the notions of national treatment and the prohibition of quantitative restrictions, endeavours to ensure that domestic regulations do not discriminate against or hinder foreign products in favour of domestic ones. A central challenge arises when nations, in their pursuit of economic self-reliance or geopolitical strategies, implement measures that arguably contradict the TRIMs Agreement. Instances include local content requirements or trade-balancing measures that ostensibly prioritize domestic products or production processes. Such measures, while beneficial for domestic economic agendas, risk contravening the TRIMs Agreement and souring trade relations. However, the dialectical tension isn't solely adversarial. On occasions, the interplay between TRIMs and protectionist measures has fostered creative policymaking, where countries craft policies that uphold the spirit of free trade while strategically advancing their economic interests. For instance, nations might leverage investment incentives, which fall outside the direct purview of TRIMs, to achieve similar objectives to direct protectionist measures without overtly flouting WTO rules. In conclusion, the dance between protectionist tendencies and the TRIMs Agreement paints a vivid picture of the ongoing evolution of global trade. While conflicts between national interests and multilateral commitments are inevitable, understanding this dialectic is crucial. It informs policymakers' decisions, aids businesses in strategizing their international ventures, and shapes the trajectory of the international trade regime. Future discourse should focus on finding pathways that reconcile these divergent pulls, ensuring that global trade remains both equitable and robust.

 Abstract

Flavonoids, which are widely present in nature and our food, play a critical role in how our diet can help protect against diseases like cancer. The ability of these polyphenols to fight cancer hang on on variousParameters, such as their concentration, chemical structure with the specific type of cancer involved. Different types of cancer cells react differently to flavonoids, depending on the tissue they originate from. This study focuses on the most commonly consumed dietary flavonoids and their potential effects on various human cancers. For instance, apigenin, chrysin, and luteolin show promising potential as powerful anti-cancer agents for cervical cancer. When it comes to cancers originating from the liver and colon, where flavonoids are primarily metabolized, there are notable variations in their effectiveness against cancer cells. In the case of gastric cancer, kaempferol emerges as a hopeful candidate, while luteolin shows promise for treating ovarian cancer. These findings shed light on how specific flavonoids in our diets could have significant impacts on different forms of cancer.
