Fuzzy-Based Novel Cross-Layer RPL Objective Function for Energy-Aware Routing in IoT by M. R. Poornima, H. S. Vimala, J. Shreyas

“…The proposed CL-RPL-OF considers node-to-node communication variations arising from relative phase shifts by combining EEP with expected transmission count (ETX) and SPPR using fuzzy logic to select the best path to optimize energy consumption across both routing and MAC layers. Simulation using Cooja and real-world experimentation using the FIT IoT-LAB testbed demonstrate that CL-RPL-OF significantly improves energy efficiency, increases packet delivery ratio, and reduces strobe overhead compared to existing objective functions.…”

Energy Efficient Multipath Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Using the Fitness Function by Aqeel Taha, Raed Alsaqour, Mueen Uddin, Maha Abdelhaq, Tanzila Saba

“…Energy consumption is considered as one of the major limitations in MANET, as the mobile nodes do not possess permanent power supply and have to rely on batteries, thus reducing network lifetime as batteries get exhausted very quickly as nodes move and change their positions rapidly across MANET. This paper highlights the energy consumption in MANET by applying the fitness function technique to optimize the energy consumption in ad hoc on demand multipath distance vector (AOMDV) routing protocol. …”

High-throughput functional analysis provides novel insight into type VII secretion in Staphylococcus aureus by Yaping Yang, Aaron A. Scott, Holger Kneuper, Felicity Alcock, Tracy Palmer

“…Staphylococcus aureus strains harbour a T7b subtype of type VII secretion system (T7SSb), a protein secretion system found in a wide variety of Bacillota, which functions in bacterial antagonism and virulence. Assessment of T7SSb activity in S. aureus has been hampered by low secretion activity under laboratory conditions and the lack of a sensitive assay to measure secretion. …”
