Optimized Load Balancing Technique for Software Defined Network
subject: Load balancing; Performance enhancement; SDN; Software-defined networks
description: Software-defined networking is one of the progressive and prominent innovations in Information and Communications Technology. It mitigates the issues that our conventional network was experiencing. However, traffic data generated by various applications is increasing day by day. In addition, as an organization's digital transformation is accelerated, the amount of information to be processed inside the organization has increased explosively. It might be possible that a Software-Defined Network becomes a bottleneck and unavailable. Various models have been proposed in the literature to balance the load. However, most of the works consider only limited parameters and do not consider controller and transmission media loads. These loads also contribute to decreasing the performance of Software- Defined Networks. This work illustrates how a software-defined network can tackle the load at its software layer and give excellent results to distribute the load. We proposed a deep learning-dependent convolutional neural networkbased load balancing technique to handle a software-defined network load. The simulation results show that the proposed model requires fewer resources as compared to existing machine learning-based load balancing techniques. 2022 Tech Science Press. All rights reserved.

Magnetohydro-convective instability in a saturated DarcyBrinkman medium with viscous dissipation
description: The influence of dissipation with viscosity on magnetohydro-convective instability in a saturated DarcyBrinkman medium is examined. The bottom boundary is designated as adiabatic, whereas the top boundary is isothermal. Numerical linear stability analysis investigates normal modes that disturb the horizontal base flow at different inclinations. The case study shows that the most unstable disturbances are horizontal rolls, normal modes characterized by a wave vector perpendicular to the main flow direction. The horizontal rolls are the favored instability mode. Barletta et al. also showed that horizontal rolls are more unstable than any other oblique roll mode in the hydromagnetic scenario. This finding provides insights into the behavior of MHD fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media, with implications for applications in geoscience, engineering, and environmental science.

subject: Child abuse; family environment; mediation; mental health
description: Background: Child abuse and neglect is an issue of concern for public health professionals. The impact of abuse may lead to poor physical and mental health conditions. Family environment may impact coping and recovery among victims of abuse. The association between child abuse, mental health, happiness, and family environment is complex. The study examines the association and pathways between child abuse exposure, mental health and happiness, while exploring the potentially mediating effect of the family environment. Methods: Data were collected from 571 high school students from Kerala, India, by using various tools, including a semi-structured questionnaire, Depression and Anxiety Youth Scale, and happiness scale. A mediation analysis using structural equation modeling (SEM) was carried out to test the objectives of the study. Results: The analysis shows that mental health, happiness, and family environment are correlated with abuse experience. The mediation analysis further shows that the indirect effect of abuse on mental health via the family environment was significant (? = 0.013, 95% CI [0.002, 0.033]). The indirect effect of abuse on happiness via the family environment was significant (? = 0.019, 95% CI [0.044, 0.003]). Furthermore, the total effect of abuse on mental health (? = 0.266, 95% CI [0.164, 0.354]) and abuse on happiness (? = 0.152, 95% CI [0.259, 0.050]) was significant. Conclusion: The study reveals that abuse experiences impact happiness and mental health outcomes among students. The family environment mediates the relationship between child abuse and mental health, and between child abuse and happiness. 2023 The Author(s).

description: Rice is one of the imperative staple foods, particularly in the developing countries. The exponential boom in human population has resulted in the continuous expansion in the rice industry in order to meet the food demands. The various stages of paddy processing release huge quantity of solid wastes, mainly rice husk, rice husk ash and liquid wastes in the form of rice industry wastewater. The discharge of the rice industry wastewater imparts a substantial threat to the aquatic bodies and the nearby surrounding and, thus, consequently demands eco-benign treatment plan. As a result, different strategies are needed to enhance the effluent quality and minimize the operational cost of the treatment process. Therefore, efficient technological approach targeting the minimization of pollution as well as assuring the economic prosperity should be implemented. In this review article, several aspects related to the rice industry discussing the significant challenges involved in the generation of both solid and liquid wastes, mitigation experiments and future prospects have been meticulously elaborated. Furthermore, the article also focuses on the various processes utilized for reducing the pollution load and promoting the practice of reuse and recycle of waste rather than the discharge action for the sake of sustainability and the emergence of novel techniques for the generation of energy and value-added products. 2017, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany.

A Novel Deep Learning Approach for Retinopathy Prediction Using Multimodal Data Fusion
subject: Clustering; Deep Learning; Multimodal; Retinopathy
description: In contemporary research on mild cognitive disorders (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), the predominant approach involves the utilization of double data modalities for making predictions related to AD stages. However, there is a growing recognition of the potential benefits that could be derived from the fusion of multiple data modalities to obtain a more comprehensive perspective in the analysis of AD staging. To address this, we have employed deep learning techniques to holistically assess data from various sources, including, genetic (single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)), imaging (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)), and clinical tests, with the objective of categorizing patients into distinct groups: AD, MCI, and controls (CN). For the analysis of imaging data, convolutional neural networks have been employed. Moreover, we have introduced a novel approach for data interpretation, enabling the identification of the most influential features learned by these deep models. This interpretation process incorporates clustering and perturbation analysis, shedding light on the crucial aspects of the data contributing to our classification results. Our experimentation, conducted on the dataset (i.e., ADNI), has yielded compelling results. Furthermore, our findings have underscored the significant advantage of integrating multi-modality data over solely relying on double modality models, as it has led to improvements in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and mean F1 scores. 2024, Ismail Saritas.

Factor analysis and structural model were used to evaluate the relationship between the causes, subsequent effects at different level of stress and the appropriate personal and organisational stress coping strategies. Primary data were collected from 560 faculty members by employing convenience sampling method during the academic year 20172018. The study revealed that causes of stress influencing considerably the level of stress and the level of stress explained the high influence on the effect of stress variables. Both effects of stress and causes of stress were negatively influencing the stress coping strategies of personal as well as organisational level strategies.

Regression analysis and features of negative activation energy for MHD nanofluid flow model: A comparative study
subject: Negative activation energy; Porous medium; Regression analysis; Successive linearization method
description: This article elucidates the impact of activation energy on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point nanofluid flow over a slippery surface in a porous regime with thermophoretic and Brownian diffusions. Negative activation energy is scarce in practice, but the impact of negative activation energy could not be neglected as it is noticed in chemical processes. The rate of some Arrhenius-compliant reactions is retarded by increasing the temperature and is therefore associated with negative activation energies, such as exothermic binding of urea or water. In some processes, the temperature dependence of the pressure-induced unfolding and the urea-induced unfolding of proteins at ambient pressure give negative activation energies. The present mathematical model is solved with successive linearization method (a spectral technique). A comparison of results is made for negative and positive values of activation energy. Apart from it, the quadratic multiple regression model is discussed briefly and explained with bar diagrams. It is observed that with rise in unsteadiness parameter from 0 to 1 (taking positive activation energy), skin friction and Sherwood number are increased by 9.36% and 19% respectively, and Nusselt number is decreased by 26%. However, for negative activation energy, 9.36% and 112% enhancement is observed in skin friction and Sherwood number, respectively. 2023 The Authors

Application of AI-Based Learning in Automated Applications and Soft Computing Mechanisms Applicable in Industries
description: The term artificial intelligence is used to describe a method through which computers may teach themselves new skills and develop themselves, without the help of humans or any predetermined instructions. Machines are fed data and trained to look for patterns; these patterns are then used as templates for further learning. They get the agency to choose their own actions and alter their habits accordingly. The term soft computing refers to a group of computational techniques that draw inspiration from both AI and natural selection. Solutions to difficult real-world situations that have no simple computer solution are provided, and they are both practical and cost-effective. Soft computing is an area of study in mathematics and computer science that has been around since the early 1990s. The idea for this project sprang from the fact that people can think of solutions that are close to the ones in the actual world. It is via the use of approximations that the science of soft computing is able to solve difficult computational challenges. Industrial automation is used by a diverse variety of industries and companies to improve the effectiveness of their processes by leveraging a number of technology developments. Many routine tasks are being changed by industrial applications. Industrial automation that reduces breakdowns and repairs quickly might help a business save money. 2024 selection and editorial matter, Nidhi Sindhwani, Rohit Anand, A.
