Analysis of Worm Propagation in Computer Networks with A Discrete Epidemic Model[ ]


Computer worms are self replicating programs that run independently and self-propagating across computer networks. Computer worms have devastating effects on the economy. In order to defend against the worms, there is a need to understand the propagation mechanism of worm spreading. An effective worm propagation model helps us to develop strategies to guard against the worm attacks. In this paper, a modified epidemiological model is proposed. The model is constructed with difference equations and certain dynamical behavior is investigated. Numerical simulations are performed with MATLAB.

Sum Labeling for Arbitrary Supersubdivision of Path, Cycle and Star[ ]


A sum labeling is a mapping ?? from the vertices of G into the positive integers such that, for any two vertices u, v ?? V (G) with labels ??(u) and ??(v), respectively, (uv) is an edge iff ??(u) + ??(v) is the label of another vertex in V (G). Any graph supporting such a labeling is called a sum graph. It is necessary to add (as a disjoint union) a component to sum label a graph. This disconnected component is a set of isolated vertices known as isolates and the labeling scheme that requires the fewest isolates is termed optimal. The number of isolates required for a graph to support a sum labeling is known as the sum number of the graph. In this paper, we will give optimal sum labeling scheme for some cycle related graphs.

The long-run average cost for the extreme shock maintenance model of a degenerative multistate system under a bivariate replacement policy (T, N) , where T is the working age of the system and N is the number of failures of the system, is studied. Explicit expressions for the long-run average cost is given.

Study of Ionic Conductivity in Li I Grafted Solid Biopolymer Electrolyte[ ]


Solid Chitosan Acetate Electrolytic Films were prepared by Grafting the Lithium Iodide salt (0.1 - 0.5 wt %) with Chitosan in the presence of acetic acid. These films were subjected to impedance spectroscopy and ionic conductivity studies. It was found that the ionic conduction behaviour in the electrolyte systems depends on the concentration of the salt used. The highest room temperature conductivity (1.05x10-4 S/cm) obtained from impedance measurement for LiI grafted chitosan electrolyte along with the dielectric and relaxation studies supported the segmental motion of the ion. Study on transference number revealed that the highest conducting samples were ionic conductors.

On Pricing an Exotic Option in a Jump-Diffusion with a Switching Type Volatility[ ]


In Jump Diffusion models, the frequency of jumps is finite. They are the prototypes for a large class of more complex models such as the stochastic volatility with jumps. In this paper, we consider the time horizon T (strike time) of a call option and K (strike price) of the asset. The call option which is called a cliquet option, have its terminal claim given by ( , ) = max?( ), ( ),0? C T T K C C T T S K S ? ? where the date C T is called cliquet date. The results obtained can be applied to other areas like Number Theory, Stochastic Processes and Probabilistic Models.

Chemical and Physical Properties of Chitosan Acetate Electrolytic Systems[ ]


Solid Chitosan Acetate Electrolytic Films were prepared by Grafting the Lithium Iodide salt (0.1 - 0.5 wt %) with Chitosan in the presence of acetic acid. These films were subjected to Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), UV-Visible and XRD spectroscopic analysis to understand structure, complexation process, optical band gap, type of transition and the shape of the absorption edge. A systematic study on the suitability of biopolymer electrolyte revealed that the LiI (50 wt %) and chitosan are the most appropriate dopant and host polymer for the preparation of biopolymer electrolyte respectively.

Establishment of an efficient drug from simple hydrocarbon - Thiotepa, and evaluation of similar molecules using the enzyme Cytochrome[ ]


A number of in-vitro and in-vivo studies have been conducted to establish the pharmacological and metabolic activity of the anti-cancer drug, thiotepa, Triethylenethiophosphoramide (TTP). All have discussed on the efficacy and side effects of the drug. Some have reported it as an alkylating agent capable of breaking the DNA strands along with some mechanism and others have established it as an effective inhibitor of an enzyme of Cytochrome family, CYP2B6. The latter study was found to have profound effect on the metabolic activity of the human body. A theoretical study is established to provide essential insight into the nature of the ligands as well as the enzyme. Descriptive properties such as Global hardness, softness, Fukui function and electrophilicity index were computed. Docking was performed using Lamarckian Genetic Algorithm and the interactions of the ligand with the macromolecule were visualized, correlated with the descriptive properties. This was helpful in establishing the effectiveness of a drug analogue that might help in deciding the toxicity, side effects or promiscuousness of this type of drug.

Theoretical investigation on the molecular structure of TPD in hole transport layer in (OLED)[ ]


The molecular structure of TPD used as a hole transport layer in organic light emitting diode (OLED). The insertion of hole blocking and electron injecting layer significantly improves the electroluminescent efficiency and extends the operational life time. Optimized structure (TPD) neutral molecule in ground and excited states are carried out by Ab initio HF and DFT (B3LYP) method with 6-311++ G(d,p) as basis set using Gaussian 03 W program. The difference between qualitative agreement with the results for the neutral molecule in the ground state obtained by density functional theory methods, which were previously reported in the literature. TPD in the ground state has a pronounced twisted geometry, with both central and peripheral dihedral angles of about 40°. On the other hand, the structure of excited state is more planar, as the central dihedral angle becomes smaller. We estimated the reorganization energies associated with the optical transitions, corresponding transition dipole moments, as well as HOMO and LUMO. .

An intuitionistic fuzzy graphs along with generalizations of algorithms for finding optimal paths with in them have emerged as an adequate modeling tool for imprecise system. Inputs and outputs of the proposed algorithm are intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Finally an illustrative numerical example is given to demonstrate the proposed approach.

A Geometric Process Repair Model for a Cold Standby epairable System With Imperfect Delay Repair under T policy[ ]


In this paper, a cold standby repairable system with imperfect delay repair consisting of two dissimilar components and one repairman is studied. Assume that both component 1 and component 2 after repair are not as good as new, and the deterioration of the system is stochastic. Under these assumptions, using a geometric process, we consider a replacement policy T based on the number of failures of component 1 under which the system is replaced when the number of failures of component 1 reaches T. Our problem is to determine an optimal replacement policy T such that the average cost rate (i.e. the long-run average cost per unit time) of the system is minimized. The explicit expression of the average cost rate of the system is derived.

Comprehensive Study on Various Types of Stegnographic Schemes and Possible Steganalysis methods for various Cover Carrier like Image, Text, Audio and Video[ ]


Steganalysis is a very challenging field because of the scarcity of knowledge about the specific characteristics of the cover media (an image, an audio or video file) that can be exploited to hide information and detect the same. The approaches adopted for steganalysis also sometimes depend on the underlying steganography algorithm(s) used.

k-Stage Fuzzy Transportation Problem Based On Interval Valued Fuzzy Numbers[ ]


The transportation problem is a typical problem where a product is to be transported from 'm' sources to 'n' destinations. In general, crisp transportation problems are solved with the assumption that the supplies, demands and cost parameters are specified in a precise way, but this is not possible in real life situations due to uncertainty in judgments, lack of evidence etc., which gives rise to fuzzy environment and hence fuzzy decision making method is needed here. In this paper, a procedure is proposed for k-stage fuzzy transportation problem. Illustrative example is also included to demonstrate the proposed approach.
