This paper presents a low-profile multi-slotted patch antenna for long term evolution (LTE) and fifth-generation (5G) communication applications. The studied antenna comprised of a stepped patch and a ground plane. To attain the required operating band, three slots have been inserted within the patch. The insertion of the slots enhances the capacitive effect and helps the prototype antenna to achieve an operating band ranging from 3.15 to 5.55 GHz (S11 ≤−10 dB), covering the N77/N78/N79 for sub-6 GHz 5G wireless communications and LTE bands of 22/42/43/46. The wideband antenna presented in this paper offers omnidirectional stable radiation patterns, good gains, and efficiency with a compact size which make this design an ideal contender for wireless fidelity (WiFi), wireless local area network (WLAN), LTE, and sub-6 GHz 5G communication applications.
Security and usability are often thought of as being contradictive in nature. One affects the other negatively. The relation and trade-offs between usability and security must be detected during developing web application to satisfy the user’s requirements with security perspective. Current approaches of usable-security emphasizes on building systems that are easy to use and secure as well. Hence, this paper is recognizing usability-security as a problem with different attributes contributing towards it. Further, there is a need to assess this problem for the satisfaction of the end user. In this context, this study proposes the track of Fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS (Analytic Hierarchy Process-Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) technique to assess the usable-security of web application and also identifies the most prioritized attribute contributing towards building usable-security of web application. Moreover, to corroborate the efficacy of the proposed technique, the authors have tested the results on the institutional web applications. The results of the assessment undertaken in this study and the findings tabulated thereafter will be a helpful reckoner for the developers while designing web applications that afford optimum usable-security.
Ferrofluids or magnetic nanofluids are highly stable colloidal suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed into various base fluids. These stable ferrofluids possess high thermal conductivity, improved thermo-physical properties, higher colloidal stability, good magnetic properties, and biocompatibility, which are the primary driving forces behind their excellent performance, and thus enable them to be used for a wide range of practical applications. The most studied and advanced ferrofluids are based on iron oxide nanostructures especially NPs, because of their easy and large-scale synthesis at low costs. Although in the last decade, several review articles are available on ferrofluids but mainly focused on preparations, properties, and a specific application. Hence, a collective and comprehensive review article on the recent progress of iron oxide nanostructures based ferrofluids for advanced biomedical applications is undeniably required. In this review, the state of the art of biomedical applications is presented and critically analyzed with a special focus on hyperthermia, drug delivery/nanomedicine, magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetic separation of cells. This review article provides up-to-date information related to the technological advancements and emerging trends in iron oxide nanostructures based ferrofluids research focused on advanced biomedical applications. Finally, conclusions and outlook of iron oxide nanostructures based ferrofluids research for biomedical applications are presented.
There has been a phenomenal increase in the use of web applications in every facet of human endeavor. From education, healthcare, banking, business to governance and so much more now depends on secure web applications. This accelerated growth in the use of web applications has led to increase in the complexity of security and hence the present day developers have to contribute more significantly towards meeting the users’ requirements. However, the high security of web application is not yet efficacious enough because the durability of web application is not as much as it should be. In this context, it is important to consider that ensuring sustainability of security at the early stage of web application development process may reduce costs and rework entailed during the development of secure and durable web applications. Hence, there is a need to focus on increasing the life-span of a secure web application. Quantitative estimation of securitydurability plays a significant role for improving the life-span of a secure web application. Thus, to optimize the security assurance effort for a specific life-span, this paper is aimed at estimating the security-durability of web application. For estimating security-durability, this paper uses a hybrid approach of Hesitant Fuzzy (HF) sets, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) techniques. The effectiveness of the combined approach of HF-AHP-TOPSIS is tested for its accuracy in a web application for an academic institution, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University in India. To check the sensitivity of outcomes, authors of the paper have taken altered forms of the University’s web application. The result established contains the security-durability assessment. This work seeks to be an important contribution in enhancing the security-durability and would be beneficial for experts who are working in this domain.
