End-to-End Encryption in Resource-Constrained IoT Device
subject: Cryptography; lightweight cryptography; security; the IoT
description: Internet of Things (IoT) technologies will interconnect with a wide range of network devices, regardless of their local network and resource capacities. Ensuring the security, communication, and privacy protection of end-users is a major concern in IoT development. Secure communication is a significant requirement for various applications, especially when communication devices have limited resources. The emergence of IoT also necessitates the use of low-power devices that interconnect with each other for essential processing. These devices are expected to handle large amounts of monitoring and control data while having limited capabilities and resources. The algorithm used for secure encryption should protect vulnerable devices. Conventional encryption methods such as RSA or AES are computationally expensive and require large amounts of memory, which can adversely affect device performance. Simplistic encryption techniques are easily compromised. To address these challenges, an effective and secure lightweight cryptographic process is proposed for computer devices. This process utilizes a symmetrical encryption key block, incorporating a custom proxy network (SP) and a modified Feistel architecture. Security analysis and performance evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol is secure and energy-efficient. The symmetric key encryption scheme is based on sequences in the Feistel cipher, with multiple rounds and sub-keys generated using principles derived from genetic algorithms. This proposed algorithm minimizes processing cycles while providing sufficient security. 2013 IEEE.

Endophytic bacteria Klebsiella spp. and Bacillus spp. from Alternanthera philoxeroides in Madiwala Lake exhibit additive plant growth-promoting and biocontrol activities
subject: Antimicrobial; Bacterial endophyte; Biofertilizer; Bioinoculant; Halotolerant; IAA; RSM; Sustainability; V. unguiculata
description: Background: The worldwide increase in human population and environmental damage has put immense pressure on the overall global crop production making it inadequate to feed the entire population. Therefore, the need for sustainable and environment-friendly practices to enhance agricultural productivity is a pressing priority. Endophytic bacteria with plant growth-promoting ability and biocontrol activity can strongly enhance plant growth under changing environmental biotic and abiotic conditions. Herein, we isolated halotolerant endophytic bacteria from an aquatic plant, Alternanthera philoxeroides, from the polluted waters of Madiwala Lake in Bangalore and studied their plant growth promotion (PGP) and biocontrol ability for use as bioinoculant. Results: The isolated bacterial endophytes were screened for salt tolerance ranging from 5 to 15% NaCl concentration. Klebsiella pneumoniae showed halotolerant up to 10% NaCl and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus subtilis showed up to 15%. All three strains demonstrated good PGP abilities such as aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity, phosphate solubilization, ammonia production, and nitrogen fixation. In addition, K. pneumoniae also exhibited high indoleacetic acid (IAA) production (195.66 2.51g/ml) and potassium solubilization (2.13 0.07ppm). B. amyloliquefaciens and B. subtilis showed good extracellular enzyme production against cellulase, lipase, protease, and amylase. Both the isolates showed a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against the tested organisms. The optimization of IAA production by K. pneumoniae was done by the response surface methodology (RSM) tool. Characterization of IAA produced by the isolate was done by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) analysis. The enhanced plant growth-promoting ability of K. pneumoniae was also demonstrated using various growth parameters in a pot trial experiment using the seeds of Vigna unguiculata. Conclusion: The isolated bacteria…

subject: breast cancer; India; phenomenology; posttraumatic growth; quality of life; resilience; trauma
description: Resilience for Indian women with breast cancer involves maintaining positivity and adaptability amid the complex challenges affecting their physical, emotional, and social well-being. However, research focused on resilience amongst this population in Indian settings is limited. Therefore, the aim of the study is to explore the experience of levels, patterns, and processes of resilience in Indian women living with breast cancer. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used to study resilience. Thirty-three participants from two hospitals underwent semistructured interviews, including survivors, women in cancer therapy, and family members. Data collected via audio recordings were analyzed using reflective thematic analysis techniques. The finding describes four themes of experience of resilience in women living with breast cancer. (a) Cancer diagnosis is a life-changing experience. Breast cancer diagnosis and therapy cause existential crisis, psychological distress, and social stigma. (b) Restoring healthy perception in an adverse event. Navigating challenges and achieving a balance between internal and external factors. (c) Types of supportthe pathway to resilience. Enhanced their resilience through internal support including attributes, past experiences, sociodemographic factors, and brain fitness. External support includes family, friends, religious or spiritual advisors, medical care, role models, other cancer survivors, and comfortable environments. (d) Learning and growing from the experience. Gained a better perspective on life, ultimately resulting in a new normal and finding meaning in the experience. Data show breast cancer survivors experience dynamic resilience, highlighting the need for culturally tailored interventions and supportive avenues within cancer care by healthcare providers and policymakers.

Energy Efficiency Enhancement in Wind-Powered Pumping with TBRC MPPT Integration
subject: Energy efficiency; Energy storage system; TBRC based MPPT; Wind energy based pumping schemes; Wind power
description: This paper introduces a novel strategy to enhance energy efficiency in a Battery and Wind Energy-based Pumping Scheme (BWEPS) by implementing a Test Bench Rapid Control (TBRC) based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) system within a LabVIEW SPEEDGOAT environment. Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) are inherently challenged by the stochastic nature of wind, which causes frequent fluctuations in output power and reduces overall efficiency if not properly managed. To address these issues, this study applies TBRC as a real-time control framework, enabling faster response, improved adaptability, and more accurate tracking of the maximum power point under dynamic conditions. The integration of battery storage further contributes to stabilizing system performance by mitigating intermittency and ensuring reliable energy availability for pumping operations. The proposed approach not only develops and validates the TBRC-based MPPT algorithm but also optimizes BWEPS operation and benchmarks it against traditional energy storage and control techniques. Experimental validation through real-time simulation demonstrates significant improvements in energy efficiency, reliability, and operational stability. The outcomes highlight the potential of TBRC-based MPPT control as a promising solution for advancing hybrid renewable energy systems, offering an effective pathway for sustainable and resilient water pumping applications. 2025 IEEE.

Energy efficient data collection in sparse sensor networks using multiple Mobile Data Patrons
subject: Depletion problem; Mobile data Patron; Resource limited sensors; Sparse distribution; Sparse sensor networks
description: Wireless sensor networks consist of sensor nodes that can sense the environment and forward the sensed data to the destination. It takes multiple hops for the data to get transmitted from the source to the destination node. Mobile Data Patron is a high energy mobile data collector that collects data from the sensors within sparse networks. In sparse networks, the sensors detect the physical phenomenon, and the MDP is used to collect data generated by the sensors. In existing models, a single MDP is used to collect data from sensors within sparse networks. It requires high amounts of energy for long-range data transmission to the base station. The proposed work uses multiple MDPs to solve the energy depletion problem. The research also focuses on improving the data transfer rate so that the MDPs lose minimal amounts of energy. 2020

Energy Efficient Evolutionary Algorithm based Clustering with Route Selection Protocol for IoT Assisted Wireless Sensor Networks
subject: Clustering; Energy Efficiency; Evolutionary Algorithm; Internet of Things; Multihop Routing; Wireless Sensor Networks
description: Internet of Things (IoT) assisted wireless sensor network (WSN) finds its applicability in several real-time tracking and surveillance applications. However, it suffers from various issues such as restricted battery capacity, repeated interruptions owing to multi-hop data transmission, and limited communication range. Gathering and multihop directing are considered effective solutions to complete enhanced energy competence and a generation of IoT-assisted WSN. An NP-hard problematic that can be handled with an evolutionary algorithm is the collection of the cluster head (CH) and the best potential paths to the goal. Both of these problems involve finding the optimum route to the target (EA). In this context, this study presents the design of the Energy Efficient Evolutionary Algorithm-based Clustering with Route Selection (EEEA-CRS) Protocol for Internet of Things-Assisted Wireless Sensor Networks (IoT-Assisted WSN). The EEEA-CRS technique that has been proposed has the primary intention of enhancing the energy efficiency as well as the lifetime of the IoT-assisted WSN. The EEEA-CRS approach that has been presented is broken down into its basic parts, which are the Fuzzy Chicken Swarm Optimization based Clustering (FCSO-C) phase and the Biogeography Optimization-based Multihop Routing phase (BBO-MHR). The FCSO-C technique that has been suggested chooses CHs with the use of a fitness function that takes into account residual energy, inter-cluster distance, and intra-cluster detachment. In adding, the BBO-MHR strategy identifies the optimum pathways to BS by taking into account the costs of communicating with other clusters, both within and between them. A number of different simulations were carried out in order to demonstrate that the EEEA-CRS methodology yields superior results. The EEEA-CRS method was shown to be superior to other methods in use today, according to the findings of an exhaustive comparison and study. EverScience Publications.

Energy efficient heterogeneous clustering scheme using improved golden eagle optimization algorithmfor WSN-based IoT
subject: CH selection; Energy efficiency; IGEOA; IOT; Wireless sensor network
description: In the Internet of Things, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are networks of interconnected sensors that wirelessly collect and transmit information about the environment. Using IoT sensors, IoT applications can remotely monitor and control physical environments. Clustering in WSNs involves organizing sensor nodes into groups called clusters with one or more CHs for efficient data integration, communication and management, improving network performance and resource utilization. In WSNs, achieving energy efficiency is critical to extend network lifetime and ensure stable operation. An important aspect contributing to energy optimization is the selection of CHs. However, the lack of an efficient cluster head selection mechanism remains a significant challenge. Therefore, this study introduces an optimized multivariate cluster head selection method that leverages the Improved Golden Eagle Optimization Algorithm (IGEOA). With this approach, the selection of CHs is optimized, combining multiple objective functions designed for energy efficiency. By using this algorithm, clusters are formed based on the selected CHs. In addition, a cluster maintenance phase is integrated to supervise the post-establishment clustering of the network, which ensures optimal cluster performance and resource utilization in WSN. Evaluation through simulation illustrates that the proposed method significantly improves both performance and energy efficiency in a WSN environment.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) materials with high surface activity can be utilized for harvesting energy from small mechanical sources using flexoelectricity. In the present work, we have synthesized an atomically thin 2D spinel MgCr2O4 by a liquid-phase exfoliation process, and characterization shows the preferential exfoliation along the (111) plane with low formation energy. The fabricated flexoelectric device produces an electrical response up to ?3 V (peak-to-peak voltage) upon pressing and releasing the cell with ?0.98 N force. Furthermore, the energy harvesting properties of 2D MgCr2O4 are explored by combining bending with other sources of external energy, with applied varying magnetic flux (Vmax = ?2.6 V) and temperature with 0.9 N force (Vmax = ?18 V). Our calculations determine that 2D MgCr2O4 has a flexoelectric coefficient of approximately ?XZXZ = 0.005 nC/m. Overall, the results indicate that 2D MgCr2O4 is a very promising material for the next generation of self-powered wearable electronics and energy harvesting. 2023 Elsevier Ltd

Energy Harvesting Using ZnO Nanosheet-Decorated 3D-Printed Fabrics
subject: 3D printing; energy harvesting; interface; nanogenerator; two-dimensional ZnO
description: In this work, we decorated piezoresponsive atomically thin ZnO nanosheets on a polymer surface using additive manufacturing (three-dimensional (3D) printing) technology to demonstrate electrical-mechanical coupling phenomena. The output voltage response of the 3D-printed architecture was regulated by varying the external mechanical pressures. Additionally, we have shown energy generation by placing the 3D-printed fabric on the padded shoulder strap of a bag with a load ranging from ?5 to ?75 N, taking advantage of the excellent mechanical strength and flexibility of the coated 3D-printed architecture. The ZnO coating layer forms a stable interface between ZnO nanosheets and the fabric, as confirmed by combining density functional theory (DFT) and electrical measurements. This effectively improves the output performance of the 3D-printed fabric by enhancing the charge transfer at the interface. Therefore, the present work can be used to build a new infrastructure for next-generation energy harvesters capable of carrying out several structural and functional responsibilities. 2023 American Chemical Society.

Energy Intelligence: The Smart Grid Perspective
description: Smart grids enable a two-way data-driven flow of electricity, allowing systematic communication along the distribution line. Smart grids utilize various power sources, automate the process of energy distribution and fault identification, facilitate better power usage, etc. Artificial Intelligence plays an important role in the management of power grids, making it even smarter. With the help of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things, smart grids can optimize the energy consumption, provide continuous feedback on usage, and monitor live usage statistics, thereby making the energy intelligent. Smart grids require specific hardware to continuously monitor and adapt to the requirements of the system. By enabling energy intelligence, we empower building-level and city-level optimizations that make use of green energy, thereby contributing more toward sustainable development. Thus, the multifaceted energy management system uses sustainable and renewable energy sources, combined with smart devices to provide a two-way communication system to optimize the end-to-end distribution of energy, beneficial to both suppliers and consumers.

Energy management of hybrid microgrids A comparative study with hydroplus and methanol based fuel cells
subject: Battery degradation; Emissions; Energy management; Fuel cells; Hydroplus; Operations cost
description: Energy management is essential for the efficient operation of microgrids with reduced energy costs and minimized emissions. Energy management of PV/battery/fuel cell/diesel generator-based microgrid to minimize the operations cost considering battery degradation and emissions for a fully functional microgrid existing in the campus of Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, is presented in this work. A microgrid with a state-of-the-art hydroplus fuel cell without the necessity for hydrogen storage is presented in this study with experimentally obtained parameters. Also, a comparison of operations cost with microgrids using two different technologies of PEM fuel cells, one with hydroplus fuel cell and the second with the methanol fuel cell which requires provision for hydrogen storage is performed with three different cases; the scheduled, grid-tied, and islanded with different scenarios under grid-tied mode. The analysis proved that using a hydroplus fuel cell instead of a methanol fuel cell with hydrogen storage reduces the cost of the daily operation by 6.9% in the scheduled mode and 18.2% in the islanded mode. In the grid-tied mode three different grid limits, 20 kW, 15 kW, and 10 kW are considered. The analysis showed no reduction, 1.3% and 5.9% reduction in the operations cost respectively. The results obtained are highly promising to be applied in microgrids where conventional fuel cells are currently employed. The new technology of fuel cells introduced in this study, possesses the advantages of near zero emissions and reduced operations costs besides avoiding the perilousness of hydrogen storage. 2024 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC

Managing the energy supply to meet this growing demand while ensuring grid stability presents a critical challenge. This paper presents an energy management system designed for electric vehicle charging infrastructure that balances demand and supply in real time. The proposed system dynamically allocates available power to connected EVs based on their charging demands and the total power available, ensuring optimal utilization of energy resources. By simulating various scenarios, the system demonstrates its capability to prevent overloading, efficiently distribute power, and prioritize critical energy needs. The results of the simulation show that the system can effectively manage power distribution, reduce peak load impact, and enhance the reliability of EV charging networks. This approach offers a scalable and adaptable solution for integrating EVs into the existing power grid, contributing to the development of smart and sustainable transportation systems.
