Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelfish Scheduler for Packet Scheduling Based on Packet Weighted Energy Drain Rate in ManetsS. Lakshmi, S. RadhaThe aim of our selfish scheduler based on packet weighted energy drain rate in Mobile ad-hoc networks mainly depends on the available least highest-limit of the residual value of a mobile node. The projected work comprises of mechanisms for detecting the selfish node as well as an attitude called rehabilitate-before-malicious behavior for justifying against the malicious behavior of nodes having … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2013 · 6,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtection of Terminalia belerica Roxb. Against Iron Overload Induced Liver Toxicity: An Account of Its Reducing and Iron Chelating CapacityBibhabasu Hazra, Rhitajit Sarkar, Nripendranath MandalExcess iron deposition in the liver catalyses the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which in turn initiate oxidative damage of protein and nucleic acids leading to several human diseases. The fruits of Terminalia Belerica Roxb. (TB) has been most commonly used not only in stimulating gastrointestinal health, but also in treatment of various hepatic disorders. The present study was … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 20 Nov 2012 · 7,989 accessesView PDFCite
