Routes of Persuasion

Routes of Persuasion

Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Trial and Error and Algorithm

Trial and Error and Algorithm

A problem-solving strategy is a plan of action used to find a solution. Different strategies have distinct action plans. Trial and error involves trying different solutions until one works. For instance, to fix a broken printer, you might check ink levels, ensure the paper tray isn't jammed, and verify the printer's connection to your laptop. This method can be time-consuming but is commonly used. Thomas Edison, for example, used trial and error to find a suitable filament for the light...

Location and Orientation of the Heart

Location and Orientation of the Heart

The human heart, despite its modest size and weight, is an organ of remarkable strength and endurance. Roughly the size of a fist, the heart weighs between 250 and 350 grams and is nestled within the mediastinum, the medial cavity of the thorax. It extends obliquely for about 12 to 14 cm, resting on the superior surface of the diaphragm. The heart is positioned anterior to the vertebral column and posterior to the sternum, with two-thirds of its mass lying to the left of the midsternal line.

Network Covalent Solids

Network Covalent Solids

Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Area of Science:

Computer Science
Mobile Computing
Network Engineering

Background:

Mobile health (mHealth) applications are rapidly growing due to increased mobile device usage.
Securing sensitive medical data in mHealth presents significant communication challenges.
Opportunistic Networks (OppNets) offer potential for mHealth due to their self-organizing nature and capacity expansion via node movement.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an efficient and secure routing protocol for mHealth applications within OppNets.
To address the limitations of existing OppNet routing protocols, such as low performance and insecurity due to unstable links.

Main Methods:

Proposed an adaptive routing optimization algorithm for OppNets in mHealth.
Introduced a novel metric based on average message forwarding delay to guide message selection.
Designed a local community detection algorithm tailored to OppNet characteristics.
Utilized super-nodes for message ferrying across different communication domains.

Main Results:

The proposed scheme significantly improved mHealth communication efficiency and security.
Achieved approximately a 30% increase in delivery ratio.
Reduced message delay by approximately 35%.
Decreased the number of message forwardings by about 5% compared to existing schemes.

Conclusions:

The developed adaptive routing algorithm effectively addresses challenges in mHealth OppNet communication.
Node relationships, community structures, and message ferrying are crucial elements for optimizing OppNet routing in mHealth.
