SynopsisGraft copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) onto chemically modified bleached jute fibers was studied using Ce(1V)-hippuric acid redox initiator system. The effects of time, temperature, concentration of monomer (AN), metal ion (Ce4+), hippuric acid, sulfuric acid, and amount of jute fiber on graft yield have been studied. The effects of some organic solvents and inorganic salts on graft yield have also been studied. Infrared spectra of chemically modified bleached jute and grafted jute have been taken and their characteristic bands have been identified. More than 90% graft yield could be achieved with the present system.
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a set of autonomous mobile devices connected by wireless links in a distributed manner and without a fixed infrastructure. Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) is considered as an infrastructure-less and constant self-configured network of wireless devices. Here, multicast has emerged as an efficient tool for communication. Recently, distinct research works have been studied in wireless MANETs for designing multicast routing protocols. Multicasting is a procedure used for allowing the users to send the same messages simultaneously to a set of users. Though, it suffers from different problems regarding implementation in ad-hoc networks owing to its shorter battery lifetime, and lack of bandwidth dynamic nature of the mobile devices. Hence, the main aim of this paper is to propose a new QoS-aware multi-cast routing protocol in MANET using the hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm. The proposed routing protocol will focus on the development of a hybrid meta-heuristic-based “reliable neighbor nodes selection” scheme over the Multicast Ad-Hoc on Demand Distance Vector routing protocol (MAODV) protocol. The “reliable neighbor nodes selection” is accomplished by Fitness sorted Red Deer-Cat Swarm Optimization (FRD-CSO) algorithm focusing on the constraints like energy model, mobility model, and reliability pair factor. Once the optimal node selection is performed, the proposed QoS-aware protocol is validated by the route discovery mechanism and route reply process. The simulation has been performed to show the efficiency of the designed multicast routing over other multicast routing protocols that demonstrates the noteworthy enhancement in terms of diverse performance measures.
