Growth and physiochemical characterization studies on 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline nonlinear optical single crystals

The non-centrosymmetric space group organic nonlinear optical single crystal of 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline (4Cl2NA) was developed by slow evaporation method at 40 °C. Grown 4Cl2NA was monoclinic structure with Pc space group which was recognized by single-crystal XRD analysis. An intermolecular contact of 4Cl2NA was visually analysed by Hirshfeld surface analysis. Active functional groups and their respective vibrations were identified by FTIR and FT-Raman spectral analysis. Optical properties were evaluated by UV–Visible spectral analysis. Thermal TG/DTA thermogram analysis and mechanical Vickers hardness analysis revealed that the synthesis material was thermally stable up to 115 °C and mechanical work hardness coefficient (n?=?2.98) confirmed the grown crystal was soft material. Laser beam-irradiated LDT analysis expressed the laser utility limitation of the 4Cl2NA crystal. The NLO second harmonic generation efficiency was tested by Kurtz Perry powder method.

Priority Aware and Spectrum Efficient Scheduling of Co-existing Wireless Body Area Networks

Real-time continuous and remote health monitoring has become widespread due to the developments in Wireless body area networks (WBANs). Based on the criticality of health data to be transmitted, regular healthcare data and critical emergency health data must be provided differential service. In this paper, we consider the beyond WBAN communication in a system comprising multiple WBANs with different quality of service (QoS) requirements and multiple access points (APs), and propose two hybrid approaches for resource allocation. In the first approach, the AP association to the WBANs and channel allocation to the APs are done jointly and is modelled as an optimization problem, which is computationally complex and it also requires global network information. In order to reduce the involvement of APs in making decisions for resource allocations of WBANs, the problem is reformulated as a Stackelberg game with price update, which guarantees QoS of the critical users. A learning based algorithm, namely distributed learning for Pareto optimality, is used by the normal users, in this second approach. The performance of both the proposed approaches are evaluated and compared, in terms of the throughput of the critical and normal users as well as the QoS guarantee of the critical users.
