Feature selection in network intrusion detection using metaheuristic algorithms

Network Intrusion Detection (IDS) mechanism is a primary requirement in the current fast growing network systems. Data Mining and Machine Learning (DM-ML) approaches are widely used for network anomaly detection during the past few years. Machine learning based intrusive activity detector is getting popular. However, they produce a high volume of false alarms. One of the main reasons for generating false signals is redundancy in the datasets. To resolve this problem, an efficient feature selection is necessary to improve the intrusion detection system performance. For this purpose, here we use Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The three abovementioned algorithms are used to select the most relevant feature set for identifying network attacks, KNN and SVM algorithms are used as classifiers to evaluate the performance of these feature selection algorithms. The standard NSL-KDD dataset is used for training and testing in this study. We used different metrics to determine which of these algorithms provide a better overall performance when they are used for feature selection in intrusion detection. Our experiments show that PSO, ACO and ABC algorithms perform better than other approaches in feature selection. Feature selection based on ABC provides 98.9% of accuracy rate and 0.78% false alarm with KNN algorithm as the classifier, which is the best result among the examined algorithms.

Right to education and learning disabled children

Every child has a different learning style and therefore it is important for teachers to think of new and interesting ways to educate them. While general students need equal attention from teachers. Students with special needs require extra attention. It is learning disabilities that are the vaguest and mystifying when compared to other major handicapping or disabling conditions, with the possible exception of emotional disturbances. It is still a great deal of debate as to what is meant by the term Learning Disability. It is so because the field is quite new and the group of persons whom we now call Learning Disabled is unusually diverse.

Restructuring and management of higher education in India

Education has a vital role to play in the life of an individual as well as the society. The availability of quality higher education in India, though increasing, is unable to meet the demands of the growing youth population and aspirations of the people. To meet the higher educational requirements and aspirations of its people, India has more than 150 Central Universities, more than 315 State Universities, approximate 200 Private Universities and a whopping 34,000 odd colleges. This paper reviews the management of higher education in India

Drinkable book

Water pollution affects the entire biosphere of plants and organisms living in these water bodies, as well as organisms and plants that might be exposed to the water. The effect can be damaging not only to individual species but also to the natural biological communities. The sources of water pollution can be grouped into point sources, non-point sources and groundwater pollution. Contaminants leading to water pollution include a wide spectrum of chemicals, pathogens, and physical changes such as elevated temperature. Measurement of water pollution is carried out by analyzing water samples with physical, chemical and biological tests. Control of water pollution can be achieved by appropriate wastewater treatment, providing safely managed sanitation services for people who are currently without access, agricultural wastewater treatment, erosion and sediment control from construction sites, and control of urban runoff.

Review Paper

Warka water tower

While the concept of water stress is relatively new, it is difficult to obtain sources of fresh water for use during a period of time and may result in further depletion and deterioration of available water resources. Water shortages may be caused by climate change, such as altered weather patterns including droughts or floods, increased pollution, and increased human demand and overuse of water. A water crisis is a situation where the available potable, unpolluted water within a region is less than that region's demand. Water scarcity is being driven by two converging phenomena: growing freshwater use and depletion of usable freshwater resources. Water scarcity can be a result of two mechanisms: physical (absolute) water scarcity and economic water scarcity, where physical water scarcity is a result of inadequate natural water resources to supply a region's demand, and economic water scarcity is a result of poor management of the sufficient available water resources. The increase in demand for water has led to new technology in SOUTH AFRICA. The new technology is named as “WARKA WATER TOWER”.

Asbestos free brake pad using Micro cellulose fibre for automotive industry

In this work application of Micro cellulose fibre in brake pad composites were successfully carried out. Micro cellulose fibres were modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxy-silane before using in the brake pad. Four different brake pads were prepared using compression moulding process with the different ratio of micro cellulose fibre along with, phenolic resin, barium sulphate, aluminium oxide and graphite. Properties of prepared brake pads were evaluated in terms of density, water and oil soaking test, compressive strength, hardness, flame resistance, wear rate, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, the coefficient of friction and scanning electron microscope. Brake pad composition with 10% weight of micro cellulose fibre showed the promising result with respect to other attempted compositions and are comparable to commercial sample.
