In this paper we propose a Self Adaptive Cluster based and Weed Inspired Differential Evolution algorithm (SACWIDE), the total population is divided into several clusters based on the positions of the individuals and the cluster number is dynamically changed by the suitable learning strategy during evolution. Here we incorporate a modified version of the Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) algorithm as a local search technique. The algorithm strategically determines whether a particular cluster will perform Differential Evolution (DE) or the IWO algorithm (modified). The number of clusters in a particular iteration is set by the algorithm itself self-adaptively. The performance of SACWIDE is reported on the set of 22 benchmark problems of CEC-2011.

We have developed novel opto-thermo-mechanical actuators by effectively distributing a significant amount of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT, up to 0.7%w/w) into liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) matrices. These SWCNT/LCE actuators exhibit a great potential to be utilized in MEMS applications, as they respond to a wide spectrum of visible/near-infrared light, and possess a large reversible compressive strain (up to 35%) when stimulated. Autonomous and passive light tracking is demonstrated here as one of the applications. With a simple design, the actuators are able to adaptively tilt a solar cell towards the light source by a degree of ~15° (with an incident light intensity of 1.6 kW/m 2 ). As a result, the photocurrent output of the solar cell is significantly enhanced (up to 247.10%) without any other control system or external energy source.

We introduce some modifications to the widely deployed Kerberos authentication protocol. The principle's secret-key will be independent of the user password to overcome the weak passwords chosen by the network principal that are susceptible to password guessing attacks, the main drawback of the Kerberos protocol. Instead, the Kerberos Distribution Center saves a profile for every instance in its realm to generate the principle's secret-key by hashing the profile, and encrypting the output digest. Besides, the lifetime of the secret-key is controlled using the sys-tem clock. Triple-Des is used for encryption, SHA-256 for hashing, and Blum Blum Shub for random number gen-eration.

We propose a scheme to reach shorter multicast delay, better energy utilizing efficiency and higher efficiency of data transferring for Sensor Grid. Our scheme calculates the space, energy and data weight vectors in one cluster. Then it searches a new vector composed by the linear combination of the three individual ones. We build game balance equation, use the equal correlation coefficient between the new and old vectors to find the point of game balance, seek linear parameters, and generate a least weight path tree. Extended simulation results indicate that our scheme attains less average multicast delay, the number of links used and better system robusticity.

Steganography enables to have a secret communication in modern information technology using public channel. In this paper, we propose Dual Transform Technique for Robust Steganography (DTTRS). The cover image is segmented into blocks of 4*4 each and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied on each block. In the resulting DWT coefficients, blocks of vertical band of 2*2 each are considered and Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) is applied to get blocks of 1*1 each. The IWT is applied on vertical band of DWT of payload to generate coefficients of payload and are embedded into IWT coefficients of cover image using least significant bit replacement method. On applying IIWT and IDWT, stego image is derived. The concept of error detecting and correcting coding technique is employed to ensure more reliable communication. It is observed that the proposed algorithm has excellent PSNR, provides high level security and more robust compared to individual transform techniques.

Soft and high magnetic moment Co37Fe63 films were electro-deposited with variable additives on Cu/Ti/Si substrates. The correlation between structure and magnetic properties has been investigated. TEM showed the crystal structure of the films to be BCC with a 〈111〉 texture, and a grain size in the range of 10-20 nm. Oxygen in the deposited films has been identified by EDS and EELS using HAADF STEM. SIMS analysis revealed the presence of hydrogen and oxygen in the deposited CoFe films. Electron microscopy results showed that the oxygen was mainly distributed along the grain boundaries in the CoFe film. In regions where oxygen was present in the films, the Fe content was enhanced relative to Co. The magnetic properties of the deposits have been measured by Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), quantifying the impact of incorporated oxygen in the film on the saturation magnetization and the coercivity.

This paper describes a design of an educational platform for a mobile learning architecture, which is a state of the an topic in distance education. The product will allow users to interact in an efficient, flexible, and transparent fashion with a web-based education environment, in this case Module Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle), using Android mobile devices. In order to provide a strong and lasting architecture, the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) methodology is used given that it allows easy software re-utilization as well as integration of heterogeneous services. The architecture is based on web services implemented with Representational State Transfer (REST), as it has been demonstrated to be lighter and less consuming than other protocols, for devices with limited resources such as mobile devices. Web services provide the communication means between the server side and the client side of the architecture, whereas agents are used to deliver the services itself. The authors propose the development of an environment that facilitates the integration of various educational resources to support m-learning. An important aspect of the proposal is the offering of a tool to provide customized alerts for students and teachers, enabling them to remain updated about activities taking place in the courses.

We report results of the experimental investigation of the low-frequency noise in graphene transistors. The graphene devices were measured in three-terminal configuration. The measurements revealed low flicker noise levels with the normalized noise spectral density close to 1/f (f is the frequency) and the Hooge parameter α H ~10 -3 . Both top-gate and back-gate devices were studied. The analysis of the noise spectral-density dependence on the gate biases helped us to elucidate the noise sources in these devices. We compared the noise performance of graphene devices with that of carbon nanotube devices. It was determined that graphene devices works better than carbon nanotube devices in terms of the low-frequency noise. The obtained results are important for graphene electronic, communication and sensor applications.
