Purpose: In cultivation, early harvest offers farmers an opportunity to increase production while decreasing the chances of lower crop production rates, ensuring that the economy remains balanced. The significant reason is to predict the disease in plants and distinguish the type of syndrome with the help of segmentation and random forest optimization classification. In this investigation, the accurate prior phase of crop imagery has been collected from different datasets like cropscience, yesmodes and nelsonwisc. In the current study, the real-time earlier state of crop images has been gathered from numerous data sources similar to crop_science, yes_modes, nelson_wisc dataset. Design/methodology/approach: In this research work, random forest machine learning-based persuasive plants healthcare computing is provided. If proper ecological care is not applied to early harvesting, it can cause diseases in plants, decrease the cropping rate and less production. Until now different methods have been developed for crop analysis at an earlier stage, but it is necessary to implement methods to advanced techniques. So, the detection of plant diseases with the help of threshold segmentation and random forest classification has been involved in this investigation. This implemented design is verified on Python 3.7.8 software for simulation analysis.

Parental comparison and parenthood testing are essential in various legal and medical scenarios. The accuracy and reliability of these tests heavily rely on the gene analysis algorithms used. However, analyzing the quality of succession data are quite challenging due to the presence of detrimental characteristics. To address this issue, we propose using machine learning-based algorithms such as clustering (Correlation-based) and Classification (Modified Naive Bayesian) to separate these characteristics from the parent-child gene array. This progression helps to identify, validate, and select tools, techniques for scrutinizing indecent sequences, leading to accurate and reliable results. In this paper, we present an IoT-based intelligence tool for parental comparison that uses a secure gene analysis algorithm. The model employs multiple sensors and devices to collect genetic data, which is then securely processed and analyzed using contemporary algorithms. The suggested model uses advanced techniques such as encryption and decryption to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of the genetic information. Our experimental consequences reveal that the proposed model is reliable, secure, and provides accurate results. The model has the potential to be used in various legal and medical contexts where the security and reliability of genetic data are critical. 2023 Little Lion Scientific. -

An MoS2/PEDOT:PSS-based flexible NIR-responsive soft actuator
The development of sophisticated smart devices heavily relies on flexible soft actuators combined with near infrared (NIR) light responsive two-dimensional (2D) materials. Soft robots provide a number of benefits, such as flexibility, high sensitivity, compliance and security. Amidst many manufacturing and driving approaches, light has surfaced as a facilitator, aiding in the fabrication of soft actuators. Using few-layered molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), the current work aims to introduce a polymer nanocomposite film for soft actuator applications under NIR light exposure. The actuation behavior was impacted by PEDOT:PSS under NIR light exposure. In order to incorporate controllable deformation of the actuator, the photothermal properties of the composite film were investigated. In situ Raman spectroscopy and the density functional theory (DFT) calculation explain the structural change and energy optimization of PEDOT:PSS. A soft insect was further designed based on this photothermal property, which can deform under light exposure. Therefore, such flexible design has huge potential for soft robotics applications in modern technologies. 2025 RSC. -

An objective function based technique for devignetting fundus imagery using MST
Fundus photography is a powerful imaging modality that is utilized for detecting macular degeneration, retinal neoplasms, choroid disturbances, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. As the illumination source in fundus imaging is situated at the center of the fundus camera, the illumination at the peripheral regions of the images would be relatively less than the center, which is termed vignetting. Vignetting adversely affects the performance of computerized methods for analyzing fundus imagery. A devignetting method for fundus imagery based on the Modified Sigmoid Transform (MST) is proposed in this paper. Gain (A) and centering parameter (?) of MST have a crucial influence on its performance. For low values of the gain, local contrast is penalized, and the overall dynamic range is compressed. When the value of gain is very high, the images after the illumination correction will have a washed out appearance. The optimum value of gain is determined in this paper from an objective method based on two statistical indices, Average Gradient of Illumination Component (AGIC) and Error of Enhancement (EME). MST with gain value defined via objective methods is able to correct the uneven illumination in fundus images without penalizing the local contrast. The proposed method is compared with illumination equalization model, homomorphic filtering and Adaptive Gamma Correction (AGC) and was found to be superior in terms of naturality uniformity of background illumination, and computational speed. 2018 -
An online signature method using DNA based bio-hash for positive identification and non-repudiation
This work focuses on using biological data as a unique feature to generate e-Signature. DNA, the blue print of life is of unique nature. The signature created using biological data will be difficult to repudiate in the scenario of a legal dispute. Applications of human DNA are not limited to molecular biology, with the advents of fast growing technologies it is possible to inject DNA into e-Signature for positive identification. The proposed methodology uses Signature DNA as a unique biological feature for the registrant. This work has various phases, the first phase includes creating the Signature DNA using hybridized unique DNA segments of the individual (Registrant) which is the unique identification of the user and difficult to duplicate and repudiate. It generates a Bio-Hash of the Signature DNA. The DNA-Hash generated serves for positive identification of the user which computed with the hash of the e-Document and a random value serve as a Bio-Sign (e-Signature) for the e-Document in the second phase. Bio-Sign converted into QR code with a link to the e-Sign service providers website will ensure usability for verification. In the verification phase the verifier scans the QR code which connects to the e-Service provider's web link. The service provider computes and verifies the document and ensures the e-Signature is valid or not to the verifier. If the signer repudiates the signature, positive identification using DNA helps to achieve Non-Repudiation, the last phase. In the scenario of a legal dispute, the registrant cannot repudiate as the authorities can provide positive identification using the DNA Signature for greater assurance. The proposed technique ensures authentication, integrity and Non-Repudiation with Zero knowledge scenario to the verifier. 2017 IEEE. -

AN OPTIMIZATION AND PREDICTIVE MODELING TO ENHANCE THE WEAR AND MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF Al 5054 ALLOY FOR DEFENSE APPLICATIONS WITH TiO2 NANOPARTICLES
This study examines the effects of 2%, 4%, and 6% additions of TiO2 nanoparticles on the wear and mechanical characteristics of Al 5054 alloy reinforcement. The results demonstrate that the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles considerably increases the alloys tensile and impact strengths. Tensile strength reaches a peak of 221 MPa at 6% reinforcement and it rises gradually as the percentage of TiO2 reinforcement increases. Similarly, impact strength rises with time and, with TiO2 reinforcement, it reaches a maximum of 63 Joules at 6%. Wear analysis using Taguchi-based design determines the optimal combination of composition, disc rotation speed, load, and sliding distance to minimize a given wear rate and friction force. The SEM analysis validates that the composites exhibit enhanced wear resistance due to the uniform distribution of TiO2 nanoparticles. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model is also developed to predict the responses, and it achieves an overall accuracy of 83.549%. The mechanical properties and wear resistance of TiO2-reinforced Al 5054 composites can be enhanced, as it is demonstrated by these results. This information is crucial for material design and optimization across a range of engineering applications. 2024, Scibulcom Ltd.. All rights reserved. -
An Optimized Algorithm for Selecting Stable Multipath Routing in MANET Using Proficient Multipath Routing and Glowworm Detection Techniques
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) depend on the selected and constant path with an extended period and the flexibility of the battery power condensed in searching end nodes, leading to numerous link failures. This kind of link damages occurs, and it also affects the packet success rate. We presented a Proficient Multipath Routing and Glowworm detection (PMGWD) technique to overcome such a Manets failure. Initially, a proposed Proficient Multipath Routing (PMR) technique identifies the damaged or failure routes and continues communication inefficiently. Secondly, the Glowworm detection node technique is implemented for both fault node identification and for extending the nodes network lifetime. Another reason to select the glowworm optimization is to update the node based on the glow to improve its neighbor its search space. Lastly, the PMGWD technique is utilized for identifying an optimal route and fault nodes in the manet. It is achieved to correct the identification of fault nodes using the glowworm detection node technique, and it helps to explore more paths for the optimal route by using proficient multipath routing. Hence, this proposed PMGWD technique is used to perform a problem-free communication process in a network system. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
An Optimized Approach for Spam Message Detection Using C4.5 Classifier with Stochastic Hill Climbing and Genetic Algorithm for Feature Selection
In the mobile industry, text messaging is a popular feature that is mainly intended to make money for service providers. But spam, which is defined as unsolicited bulk messages that contain commercial content, has become a widespread problem. These spam texts are frequently used to spread phishing links or advertise goods and services in order to make money. The phone alerts the user whenever spam text messages arrive in their inbox. When the user discovers that the message is unsolicited, these unsolicited texts not only take up storage space and waste their time, but they also irritate them. Even with the development of numerous sophisticated algorithms to identify spam, users are still impacted by text message spam. Thus, the mobile sector needs to implement efficient filtering methods. The proposed study uses the C4.5 Decision Tree as the classification model and combines a Genetic Algorithm and Stochastic Hill Climbing to find optimal features in order to detect spam in text messages. This method uses metaheuristic techniques to find the best features, which are then categorized using decision trees. This hybrid model performs better than current classification methods. 2026 IEEE. -
An optimized back propagation neural network for automated evaluation of health condition using sensor data
Ships and other large equipment must meet strict standards for equipment integrity and operational dependability in order to perform missions. To meet this demand, one of the essential linkages is to guarantee the long-term safe and healthy functioning of their power transmission equipment. The Optimized Back Propagation Neural Network (OBPNN) technique used in this study introduces a unique method for monitoring sensor data and evaluating the health state, with the SVM being optimized using the fish swarm algorithm (FSA). A major problem that maintenance is facing nowadays is reliable fault prediction. One of the trickiest difficulties is arguably automatically modelling typical behaviour from condition monitoring data, particularly when there is little information about actual failures. A data-driven learning framework with the best bandwidth selection is suggested to address this challenge. It is based on nonparametric density estimation for outlier identification and OBPNN for normality modelling. The distance to the separating hyper plane's log-normalization is used to provide a health score that is also available. The algorithm's viability is shown by experimental findings while evaluating the progression of a major defect over time in a marine diesel engine. Improved prediction capabilities and low false positive rates on healthy data are realized. 2023 The Authors -

An optimized method for mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori (Bombycidae:Lepidoptera) sex classification using TLBPSGA-RFEXGBoost
Silkworm seed production is vital for silk farming, requiring precise breeding techniques to optimize yields. In silkworm seed production, precise sex classification is crucial for optimizing breeding and boosting silk yields. A non-destructive approach for sex classification addresses these challenges, offering an efficient alternative that enhances both yield and environmental responsibility. Southern India is a hub for mulberry silk and cocoon farming, with the high-yielding double-hybrid varieties FC1 (foundation cross 1) and FC2 (foundation cross 2) being popular. Traditional methods of silkworm pupae sex classification involve manual sorting by experts, necessitating the cutting of cocoons a practice with a high risk of damaging the cocoon and affecting yield. To address this issue, this study introduces an accelerated histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) feature extraction technique that is enhanced by block-level dimensionality reduction. This non-destructive method allows for efficient and accurate silkworm pupae classification. The modified HOG features are then fused with weight features and processed through a machine learning classification model that incorporates recursive feature elimination (RFE). Performance evaluation shows that an RFE-hybridized XGBoost model attained the highest classification accuracy, achieving 97.2% for FC1 and 97.1% for FC2. The model further optimized with a novel teaching learning-based population selection genetic algorithm (TLBPSGA) achieved a remarkable accuracy of 98.5% for FC1 and 98.2% for FC2. These findings have far-reaching implications for improving both the ecological sustainability and economic efficiency of silkworm seed production. 2024. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd.
