    Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks play a crucial role in enabling Smart City applications by facilitating seamless communication between vehicles and infrastructure. This study evaluates the throughput performance of different routing protocols, specifically AODV, AODV:TOM, AODV:DEM, GPSR, GPSR:TOM, and GPSR:DEM, under various city and highway scenarios in complex networks. The analysis covers key parameters including traffic generation, packet sizes, mobility speeds, and pause times. Results indicate that TOM and DEM profiles significantly improve throughput compared to traditional AODV and GPSR protocols. GPSR:TOM achieves the highest throughput across most scenarios, making it a promising solution for high-performance data transmission in Smart Cities. For instance, GPSR:TOM achieves an average throughput of 3.2 Mbps in city scenarios compared to 2.8 Mbps for GPSR, while in highway scenarios, the throughput increases to 3.6 Mbps. Additionally, AODV:DEM records a throughput of 3.4 Mbps for high traffic generation, outperforming AODV:TOM at 3.1 Mbps and baseline AODV at 2.7 Mbps. The findings highlight the importance of optimizing data throughput to ensure reliability and efficiency in complex vehicle interconnection systems, which are critical for traffic management, accident prevention, and real-time communication in smart urban environments

    The rise of autonomous vehicles necessitates advanced communication networks for effective data exchange. The routing protocols Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR) are vital in mobile networks (MANETs) and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). However, their performance is affected by changing network conditions. This study examines key routing parameters—MaxJitter, Hello/Beacon Interval, and route validity time—and their impact on AODV and GPSR performance in urban and highway scenarios. The simulation results reveal that increasing MaxJitter enhances AODV throughput by 12% in cities but decreases it by 8% on highways, while GPSR throughput declines by 15% in cities and 10% on highways. Longer Hello intervals improve AODV performance by 10% in urban settings but reduce it by 6% on highways. Extending route validity time increases GPSR’s Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) by 10% in cities, underscoring the need to optimize routing parameters for enhanced VANET performance.

    Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a strain of Escherichia coli known for causing foodborne illness through the consumption of contaminated or raw food. To detect this pathogen, a conductometric immunosensor was developed using a conductometric sensing approach. The sensor was con-structed on an interdigitated electrode and modified with a monoclonal anti-Escherichia coli O157: H7 aptamer. A total of 200 electrode pairs were fabricated and modified to bind to the target molecule replica. The binding replica, acting as the bio-recognizer, was linked to the electrode surface using 3-Aminopropyl triethoxysilane. The sensor exhibited excellent performance, detecting Escherichia coli O157:H7 in a short time frame and demonstrating a wide detection range of 1 fM to 1 nM. Concentrations of Escherichia coli O157:H7 were detected within this range, with a minimum detection limit of 1 fM. This innovative sensor offers simplicity, speed, high sensitivity, selectivity, and the potential for rapid sample processing. The potential of this pro-posed biosensor is particularly beneficial in applications such as drug screening, environmental monitoring, and disease diagnosis, where real-time information on biomolecular interactions is crucial for timely decision-making and where cross-reactivity or interference may compromise the accuracy of the analysis.
