Abstract
Distributed Sensor Network (DSN) built with smart sensor nodes by high computing network. A DSN has been attractive platform for researchers from many years and it's to provide effective computing and making secure communication or routing between source and sink node. However, sensor networks are vulnerable in an environment with respect to attacks. This paper proposes a cluster based context ware secure routing in DSN by employing Grid Based cluster approach. This approach incorporates efficient cluster head selections, context discovery, context interpretation, and secure routing mechanisms in DSNs. The objective of the proposed work is to improve the effective performance of networks. The proposed work had been simulated in terms of packet delivery ratio, network lifetime, energy consumption, throughput. and packet dropping ratio.

Abstract
Cancer genomic data is continually growing in complexity, necessitating improved methods for data capture and analysis. Tumors often contain multiple therapeutically relevant alterations, and co-occurring alterations may have a different influence on therapeutic response compared to if those alterations were present alone. One clinically important example of this is the existence of a resistance conferring alteration in combination with a therapeutic sensitizing mutation. The JAX Clinical Knowledgebase (JAX-CKB) (https://ckb.jax.org/) has incorporated the concept of the complex molecular profile, which enables association of therapeutic efficacy data with multiple genomic alterations simultaneously. This provides a mechanism for rapid and accurate assessment of complex cancer-related data, potentially aiding in streamlined clinical decision making. Using the JAX-CKB, we demonstrate the utility of associating data with complex profiles comprising ALK fusions with another variant, which have differing impacts on sensitivity to various ALK inhibitors depending on context.
