Item type:Publication, Multipath Routing Protocol: For Wireless Ad-hoc Networks Based on FibonacciA WANET, which stands for Wireless Ad hoc Network, is a temporary network in which nodes are connected to each other via wireless links and there is no central management. Due to its adaptive structure, WANET is very useful in situations when quick communication link setup is necessary. On the other hand, Channel Contention (CC), degrades the performance of WANET and is a major contributor to packet drops. To solve the CC problem, this paper proposes a routing protocol called Multipath Channel Contention Based Routing (MCCBR). Using MCCBR, several paths are discovered for data transmission that have minimal contention between the source and destination. Then the packets are distributed over the discovered routes based on the Fibonacci sequence. The process of searching for new paths for transmission is initiated when the number of found paths becomes less than 50%. The proposed routing protocol was tested and verified using NS2 simulator. The performance of MCCBR was evaluated against the Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Channel Contention Based Routing (CCBR) protocols. MCCBR outperformed AODV and CCBR in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), End-to-End (E2E) delay, and normalized Media Access Control (MAC) overhead. © 2026, Zarka Private University.

Item type:Publication, Fiber–matrix interaction governs compressive strength in agave-bagasse-reinforced adobe: a factorial experiment with two-way ANOVA and competing mechanism analysis(Frontiers Media SA, 2026-07-31); ; ; Varela-Aldás, JoséNatural-fiber reinforcement is widely cited as a pathway to improve the mechanical performance of adobe, but reported effects on compressive strength are inconsistent across studies: some find improvement, others find degradation, and the choice of experimental conditions rarely disentangles the role of the fiber from that of the matrix. This study quantifies the coupling through a balanced factorial experiment. Forty-nine adobe specimens of (Formula presented) cm were manufactured with three granular compositions (sand-dominated, jal-dominated, and balanced, where jal is a regional non-plastic silt of Jalisco, Mexico) and four mass fractions of agave-bagasse fiber (0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%), and were tested under Mexican standard NMX-C-036-ONNCCE by an accredited external laboratory. Three complementary analytical tools are applied to the resulting dataset: (i) a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), (ii) a reinforcement efficiency index (Formula presented) with bootstrap confidence intervals, and (iii) a competing mechanism phenomenological descriptor (Formula presented) that separates a saturating reinforcement term from a linear disruption term. The two-way ANOVA reveals a highly significant mixture–fiber interaction ((Formula presented), (Formula presented), and partial (Formula presented)), which is stronger than either main effect and statistically demonstrates that the sign of the fiber effect is not an intrinsic property of the fiber but rather a property of the fiber–matrix pair. For sand-containing mixtures, the reinforcement efficiency index is (Formula presented) [M1, 95% bootstrap CI (0.96, 1.32)] and (Formula presented) [M3, (0.92, 1.59)] at the optimum (Formula presented); a non-parametric bootstrap over 5, 000 resamples places the optimum at (Formula presented) with posterior probability (Formula presented) (M1) and (Formula presented) (M3). For the jal-dominated mixture, fiber inclusion is net destructive [(Formula presented), (0.68, 0.95) at (Formula presented)], with Welch (Formula presented)-tests rejecting equivalence with the control at (Formula presented) (0.5%) and (Formula presented) (2%) and Cohen’s effect sizes (Formula presented). The best-performing conditions yield mean compressive strengths of 3.22 MPa, which exceeds the 2.0 MPa minimum required by NMX-C-441-ONNCCE-2011 for non-structural masonry by 60%. An immersion test shows that unstabilized specimens disintegrate within 2–3 min, bounding applications to non-exposed or externally protected uses and defining the primary direction for future work.

Item type:Publication, Experimental and data-driven evaluation of transport-layer and application-layer security for MQTT-based IoT networks(Elsevier BV, 2026-12); ; ; Varela-Aldás, JoséThe rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) deployments has intensified the need for secure and efficient communication mechanisms tailored to resource-constrained devices. Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is widely adopted due to its lightweight design; however, it lacks native security support, requiring external protection mechanisms that may significantly affect system performance. This paper presents a comprehensive experimental and data-driven evaluation of two security paradigms for MQTT-based IoT networks implemented on ESP32 microcontrollers: transport-layer security using TLS and application-layer encryption based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for key exchange combined with AES symmetric encryption. The analysis jointly evaluates memory utilization, end-to-end latency, energy consumption, and resistance to passive traffic interception under identical experimental conditions. In addition to conventional metric-based comparisons, multivariate statistical analysis and unsupervised learning techniques are employed as exploratory tools to characterize the system-level behavior induced by each security scheme. Results show that Transport Layer Security (TLS) offers stronger confidentiality guarantees at the cost of higher memory overhead, while the ECC–(Advanced Encryption Standard) AES approach significantly reduces memory footprint with moderate latency penalties and comparable energy consumption. Multivariate analysis further reveals that each security mechanism induces a distinct performance regime, providing a compact joint characterization of the security–performance trade-offs across the evaluated configurations. © 2026 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Anuario institucional de investigación 2017(Universidad Panamericana, 2017); ; ; ; Velázquez Rodríguez, SergioA sus cincuenta años la Universidad Panamericana está atravesando por un proceso de transformación profunda. De haber sido fundada como una institución enfocada a formar profesionistas de excelencia cuidando la inteligencia, la voluntad y el carácter, evoluciona también a ser una universidad de influencia e investigación. El prestigio adquirido a lo largo de la historia de la universidad debe ser ahora puesto de manera especial al servicio de la sociedad con afán de transformarla, mejorarla con base en su visión cristiana. En palabras de san Josemaría Escrivá, fundador del Opus Dei e impulsor de la Universidad Panamericana: […] La universidad –os decía en otra ocasión solemne como la que hoy celebramos– no vive de espaldas a ninguna incertidumbre, a ninguna inquietud, a ninguna necesidad de los hombres. Y su corazón vibra, apasionado, cuando las investigaciones teológicas, jurídicas, biológicas o médicas- alcanzan la realidad sagrada de la vida. La universidad sabe que la necesaria objetividad científica rechaza justamente toda neutralidad ideológica, toda ambigüedad, todo conformismo, toda cobardía: el amor a la verdad compromete la vida y el trabajo entero del científico, y sostiene su temple de honradez ante posibles situaciones incómodas, porque a esa rectitud comprometida no corresponde siempre una imagen favorable en la opinión pública […]. La universidad debe ser un factor eficaz de respuesta a las necesidades del mundo actual, convencida de que el entorno social sí se puede cambiar por tratarse de hechos humanos, no de la realidad en sí. Contrario al pesimismo antropológico, signo de la modernidad, desde a universidad se puede construir una visión esperanzadora del mundo. © Universidad Panamericana. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
