Estimating the parameters of a non-homogeneous Poisson-processmodel for software reliability

A stochastic model (G-O) for the software failure phenomenon based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) was suggested by Goel and Okumoto (1979). This model has been widely used but some important work remains undone on estimating the parameters. The authors present a necessary and sufficient condition for the likelihood estimates to be finite, positive, and unique. A modification of the G-O model is suggested. The performance measures and parametric inferences of the new model are discussed. The results of the new model are applied to real software failure data and compared with G-O and Jelinski-Moranda models     

Legal counselling system

Legal reasoning involves case analysis in statutory as well as real world perspectives. The impact of real world perspective on case analysis poses a serious challenge to knowledge engineers for building legal expert systems. A legal expert system intends to provide intelligent support to legal professionals. The proposed legal predictive system is an attempt to predict the most probable outcome of a case according to statutory as well as real world knowledge of the legal domain. The system accepts the current fact situation of a case and analyses it interactively with legal personnel. This work introduces a frame-like knowledge structure,lattice, with two-dimensional attributes. This paper contains a detailed discussion on artificial intelligence-based case analysis of theft cases in a real world perspective.     

Reliability analysis of a three-state multi-component warm standby redundant complex system with waiting for repair

Investigations have been carried out with the help of Laplace transforms and supplementary variable techniques for the evaluation of reliability analysis of a three-state multi-component warm standby redundant complex system suffering three types of failures, namely minor, major, and human due to critical human errors incorporating the concept of waiting for repair.     

Influence of altitudinal variation on the antioxidant potential of tartar buckwheat of Western Himalaya

In the present work, the effect of altitudinal variations on the total phenol, flavonoid, and antioxidant potential of seeds and hull of Tartar buckwheat collected from 15 different locations of Western Himalaya has been investigated. Methanolic and acetonic extracts of seed and hull powder showed significantly increasing amounts of total polyphenol content, and antioxidant potential with rising altitude. Methanolic extract of seed and hull powder were found to have significantly greater polyphenol, and antioxidant potential as compared to acetonic extract. The methanolic seed extract of Inderdhara (3,133 m) showed the maximum total phenolic content 1,651 μg gallic acid equivalent/50 mg of dry weight. The methanolic seed extract of Inderdhara showed the maximum antioxidant activity (77.29±1.2%) and antiradical activity (55.5±0.5%) also. The results of this study exhibited good correlation with total polyphenol and antioxidant potential in all the samples followed by the increasing tendency towards rising altitude.     

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of PIN-FORMED (PIN) Gene Family Reveals Role in Developmental and Various Stress Conditions in Triticum aestivum L.

PIN-FORMED (PIN) genes play a crucial role in regulating polar auxin distribution in diverse developmental processes, including tropic responses, embryogenesis, tissue differentiation, and organogenesis. However, the role of PIN-mediated auxin transport in various plant species is poorly understood. Currently, no information is available about this gene family in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). In the present investigation, we identified the PIN gene family in wheat to understand the evolution of PIN-mediated auxin transport and its role in various developmental processes and under different biotic and abiotic stress conditions. In this study, we performed genome-wide analysis of the PIN gene family in common wheat and identified 44 TaPIN genes through a homology search, further characterizing them to understand their structure, function, and distribution across various tissues. Phylogenetic analyses led to the classification of TaPIN genes into seven different groups, providing evidence of an evolutionary relationship with Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa. A gene exon/intron structure analysis showed a distinct evolutionary path and predicted the possible gene duplication events. Further, the physical and biochemical properties, conserved motifs, chromosomal, subcellular localization, transmembrane domains, and three-dimensional (3D) structure were also examined using various computational approaches. Cis-elements analysis of TaPIN genes showed that TaPIN promoters consist of phytohormone, plant growth and development, and stress-related cis-elements. In addition, expression profile analysis also revealed that the expression patterns of the TaPIN genes were different in different tissues and developmental stages. Several members of the TaPIN family were induced during biotic and abiotic stress. Moreover, the expression patterns of TaPIN genes were verified by qRT-PCR. The qRT-PCR results also show a similar expression with slight variation. Therefore, the outcome of this study provides basic genomic information on the expression of the TaPIN gene family and will pave the way for dissecting the precise role of TaPINs in plant developmental processes and different stress conditions.

MgNb2O6:Dy3+ nanophosphor: A facile preparation,down conversion photoluminescence and UV driven photocatalytic properties

Series of (1–9 mol %) dysprosium (Dy³⁺) ions doped MgNb₂O₆ (MNO) nanophosphors were synthesized by chemical combustion process and their photo luminescent and photocatalytic behaviours were examined. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) reveals the columbite structure and crystal structure parameters were calculated. The average crystallite size was found to be in the range of 20–30 nm as calculated by Scherrer's method. The photoluminescence (PL) of MgNb₂O₆:Dy³⁺ (λ_exc-393 nm) reflects white emission for the prepared samples as confirmed by CIE and CCT. The photocatalytic activities of these nanophosphors were probed for the decolorization of acid red 88 (AR-88) under UV light irradiation. The photocatalyst with MgNb₂O₆:Dy³⁺ (5 mol %) showed enhanced activity of 97%, attributed to effective separation of charge carriers. All the above experimental results confirm that, the optimized phosphor is quite useful for WLEDs, solid-state lighting applications and as a photocatalyst.     

A dynamic threshold based approach for mitigating black-hole attack in MANET

Mobile ad-hoc network is an infrastructure less type of network which does not require any kind of fixed infrastructure. It provides multi-hop communication between the source and destination nodes which are not within the direct range of each other through the intermediate nodes. These intermediate nodes cooperate with other nodes in finding an optimum and shortest route toward the destination. However, in holistic environments, some nodes do not cooperate with other nodes in finding the optimal route towards the destination and intentionally give the false route information of having the shortest path toward the destination with a high destination sequence number in order to attract the traffic toward itself and start dropping of the data packets instead of forwarding it. This type of routing misbehaviour is generally called as black hole attack or full packet dropping attack which is one of the most severe destructive attacks that lead to the network degradation. In this paper, we have proposed a protocol called as Mitigating Black Hole effects through Detection and Prevention (MBDP-AODV) based on a dynamic threshold value of the destination sequence number. In order to validate the efficiency of proposed protocol, the NS-2.35 simulator is used. The simulation results show that proposed protocol performs better as compared with existing one under black hole attack.
