Biologically Inspired Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Scheme for Maritime Cognitive Radio Networks
Ejaz, Waleed,Hasan, Najam ul,Shah, Ghalib A.,Kim, Hyung Seok,Anpalagan, Alagan IEEE 2018 IEEE systems journal Vol.12 No.3
<P>Spectrum sensing is imperative to the success of maritime cognitive radio networks (MCRNs). Spectrum sensing in MCRNs is challenging because of the sea surface movement, the channel interference, and the unstable link quality. Recent research reveals that existing spectrum sensing schemes work well for lower sea states; however, they have failed to perform effectively at higher sea states. There are two disadvantages of performing spectrum sensing at higher sea states: 1) low probability of detection may also cause interference with primary system and 2) energy wastage. In this paper, a biologically inspired cooperative spectrum sensing scheme (BIC3S) is proposed to deal with the reliability and energy consumption challenges associated with the sea environment. It is based on the task allocation model of an insect colony. The proposed BIC3S chooses participating secondary users for cooperative spectrum sensing according to their given sea state. Further, it enables the secondary users to decide whether or not to perform spectrum sensing based on their sea state. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of energy consumption, detection performance, and throughput. It is shown that the proposed BIC3S consumes less energy and, at the same time, achieves higher detection probability and fewer probability of false alarms compared to the existing schemes. Moreover, BIC3S provides better adaptation capabilities for the sea environment.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>In order to develop and replace the expensive PtC catalyst from the fuel cells, we have attempted to synthesize an efficient catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in an alkaline media. The materials were initially fabricated as follows; (a) synthesizing a nitrogen doped (para-xylylenediamine, nitrogen precursor) graphene oxide (N-rGO); (b) synthesizing palladium nanoparticles on graphene oxide surface (rGO-Pd). The electrochemical analysis showed that the ORR path on the N-rGO catalyst is observed to follow 2-electron mechanism. Conversely, the onset potential, current density and surface area of the rGO-Pd doesn't match with the commercially available PtC catalyst. To overcome these flaws, we have combined the individual effects of each component and fabricated N-rGO-Pd nanocomposite. The covalent interaction between nitrogen part of para-xylylenediamine with oxygenated functionalities of GO, followed by a strong π–π stacking interaction between the aromatic ring of para-xylylenediamine and GO altered the electronic distribution of the carbon support, induced more defects, influenced the size and averted the self agglomeration of the Pd NPs which lead to the astonishing catalytic activity of N-rGO-Pd catalyst. Furthermore, various spectroscopic techniques revealed the individual influence of pyrrolic, pyridinic and graphitic–N on the synthesis, size and extraordinary distribution of Pd NPs.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> An ORR catalyst consisting of GO incorporated N and Pd NPs (N-rGO-Pd) is proposed. </LI> <LI> The growth kinetics of Pd NPs are influenced by graphitic, pyrrolic and pyridinic nitrogen. </LI> <LI> The graphitic nitrogen played a significant role in the indirect ORR process. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

A simple electrochemical sensor for detecting dopamine was fabricated using 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)benzene (BAMB) and cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)<SUB>2</SUB>) at graphene oxide (GO) surface using a simple solution-based chemical reduction method. The successful formation of GO-BAMB-Co(OH)<SUB>2</SUB> was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, while the electrochemical performance of the material was studied using different techniques, including cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and chronoamperometry in 0.1M PBS at pH 7.4. The GO-BAMB-Co(OH)<SUB>2</SUB>-modified electrode showed an excellent electrochemical response with a broad linear range (3-20 and 25-100μM) and low limit of detection (0.4μM). Furthermore, efficient selective detection of dopamine in the presence of a 10-fold excess concentration of bio-interfering species, such as ascorbic acid and serotonin, was remarkable. The practical feasibility of the sensor was checked using urine samples, which showed appreciable recovery results. The main advantages of this sensor are its simple electrode fabrication procedure, rapid sensing response, remarkable selectivity, repeatability, and stability.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Highly stable electrochemical sensor based on strong π- π interactions between GO and XDA was fabricated for simultaneous as well as for individual detection of paracetamol (PCT) and ascorbic acid (AA). The oxidation potential of PCT and AA was greatly resolved with the decoration of Mn<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> nanospheres. We believe that, presence of metal oxide on the surface of GO-XDA will offer higher electrochemical performance with its large surface area and fast electron transfer ability. Therefore, a comparative study was executed in the presence and absence of Mn<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> nanospheres on the surface of GO-XDA. The GO-XDA-Mn<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> modified electrode showed electrocatalytic oxidation of PCT in a very wide linear range of 1×10<SUP>−6</SUP>–1×10<SUP>−3</SUP> M with limit of detection (LOD) and sensitivity of 5.6×10<SUP>−8</SUP> M, 527.04μAmM<SUP>−1</SUP>cm<SUP>−2</SUP> respectively and AA with 1×10<SUP>−5</SUP> –8×10<SUP>−3</SUP> M linear range, LOD and sensitivity of 6.0×10<SUP>−7</SUP> M, 655.74μAmM<SUP>−1</SUP>cm<SUP>−2</SUP> respectively. Furthermore, astonishing stability was found when GO-XDA-Mn<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> nanocomposite was stored for over a week. The proposed sensor displayed incredible selectivity, sensitivity and excellent recovery results for real samples with appreciable consistency and precision suggesting practical utility of the GO-XDA-Mn<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> as an effective and reliable electrochemical sensor for simultaneous as well as individual determination of PCT and AA.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> π–π interaction of graphene oxide (GO) with 1,4-xylenediamine (XDA) was studied. </LI> <LI> The synergistic effect of the Mn<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> nanospheres with GO-XDA was electrochemically studied in the detection of Paracetamol (PCT) and ascorbic acid (AA). </LI> <LI> The GO-XDA-Mn<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> accurately detected PCT and AA with LOD of 5.6×10<SUP>−8</SUP> M and 6.0×10<SUP>−7</SUP> M respectively. </LI> <LI> The GO-XDA-Mn<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> selectively detected PCT and AA simultaneously in the presence of DA, 5-HT and Glu with peak separation of 240mV. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Coccidiosis of domestic fowl is a parasitic disease that infects poultry drastically and can cost the pastured poultry producer much in the course of a year. Two hundred forty, day-old-broiler chicks were purchased and were randomly divided in eight groups, containing thirty birds in each group. Decoquinate $6\%$, maduramicin ammonium $2\%$, monensin sodium $13.2\%$, salinomycin sodium $12\%$, a live attenuated vaccine, and trivalent live attenuated vaccine, was provided to the day chicks of six groups, respectively. The chicks of last two groups served as infected non-medicated and uninfected non-medicated, respectively. Feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, mortality and oocyst count per gram feces were recorded during the conduction of the experiment. Among treated groups, performance of salinomycin group was significantly better (p<0.05) in all aspects. Salinomycin acts against the sporozoites, trophozoites and first generation schizonts and is highly effective against the economically important species of Eimeria. The present study confirms that use of salinomycin, as an anticoccidial, is a drug of choice.
