The life of many people in the world is under the danger because of the accidents and unpredicted diseases, which require relief. Since, most of such cases occur in unpredictable condition, for an appropriate planning, the uncertain conditions should be investigated. Consequently, this paper investigates the integrated and multi-step process of locating, assigning and routing the air and la...

This paper studies the distribution of emergency relief for electric vehicles (EVs), which considers energy saving, multi-depot, and vehicle routing problems with time windows, named saving-oriented multi-depot problem windows (ESMDVRPTW). Our aim is to find routes EVs such that all shelter demands are fulfilled during their total cost traveled by fleet minimized. To this end, we formulate ESMD...

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless developed using nodes without any infrastructures. The significant features of MANET are low-cost infrastructure, self-organization, mobility, and rapid deployment which offer the opportunity to deploy it for various applications such as disaster relief, environmental monitoring military communications. nature networks causes susceptible mal...

This study is aimed at evaluating the efficacy of the Ayurvedic system, especially for chronic diseases. Assessment of the subjective relief feed back was done on the lines as suggested in Caraka Samhita, one of the oldest classical Ayurvedic texts. An inter-disciplinary research work involving ancient medical learning and hi-tech modern electronic data processing unit evaluate the efficacy of ...

Logistics planning in disaster response phase involves dispatching commodities such as medical materials, personnel, food, etc. to affected areas as soon as possible to accelerate the relief operations. Since transportation vehicles in disaster situations can be considered as scarce resources, thus, the efficient usage of them is substantially important. In this study, we provide a dynamic vehi...

This paper performs application-level QoS and user-level QoS assessment of audio-video streaming in cross-layer designed wireless ad hoc networks. In order to achieve high QoS at the user-level, we employ link quality-based routing in the network layer and media synchronization control in the application layer. We adopt three link quality-based routing protocols: OLSR-SS (Signal Strength), AODV...

In current network routing domain, routing information lacks protection based on confidentiality. This makes network routing vulnerable to many types of security attacks. In this paper, we present a framework to provide confidentiality for link state routing protocol. This framework involves creation of a trust structure among routers and key management. The routing information is encrypted, so...

Abstract Assessment of the geomorphometric parameters using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools forms an important part in routing runoff other hydrological processes. The current study uses a geospatial model based on for categorization surface identification erosion-prone areas watershed Kuttiyadi River. 4th order river is dominated by dendritic to semi-dendritic...
