This report summarizes a miniproject carried out in the scope or the IC-29 course (Self-Organized Wireless and Sensor Networks). The goal of the project was to verify a VANET protocol, namely the Distributed Revocation Protocol (DRP, [1]). This protocol was chosen because of its ad-hoc nature, which makes the verification both interesting and challenging, while being relatively simple, this pro...

THE DRP (dial a ride problem) consists on determining and planifiying the operated tours of vehicles in order to satisfy the user’s requests hoping to become origin’s points to destination’s points. The DRP is bind to NPdifficult problems, in order to solve it, many researchers have been used multi objective approached methods; actually our approach consists on reducing the number of vehicles, ...

Background Biosynthesis of noble metallic nanoparticles (NPs) has attracted significant interest due to their environmental friendly and biocompatible properties. Methods In this study, we investigated syntheses of Au, Ag and Au-Ag bimetallic NPs using protein extracts of Deinococcus radiodurans, which demonstrated powerful metal-reducing ability. The obtained NPs were characterized and analy...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients with hypertension are at increased risk for experiencing drug-related problems (DRPs) since they often receive multiple medications and have multiple comorbidities. To date, there is a lack of studies conducted in T2DM patients with hypertension. This study aims to analyze the DRPs and identify factors affecting the DRPs in this patient p...
