Diseased Leaf Identification Using Bag-of-Features and Sigmoidal Spider Monkey Optimization
Agricultural products decide the economy of a country like India. The agricultural business has the involvement of a large population. The quality and quantity of agricultural products highly depend on environmental conditions and facilities provided to farmers. Timely and efficient detection of diseases in plants and crops is one of the most critical issues that affect crop production. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop some cheap and easy-to-handle automated plant disease detection systems for the timely treatment of plants. Leaves are considered a primary source of information about the health of plants. In the case of plants, the disease may be easily visualized and identified by observing its effect on leaves. Therefore, this paper introduces a bag-of-features in sigmoidal spider monkey optimization to identify a diseased leaf, separating the diseased leaf from a healthy leaf. The investigational outcomes show the superiority of the anticipated technique in contrast to other meta-heuristic-based systems.

Extremal Trees oftheReformulated andtheEntire Zagreb Indices
The first reformulated Zagreb index of trees can take any even positive integer greater than 8, whereas the second reformulated Zagreb index of trees can take all positive integers greater than 47 with a few exceptional values less than 8 and 47, respectively. The entire Zagreb index is defined in terms of edge degrees and incorporates the idea of intermolecular forces between atoms along with atoms and bonds. This intricate significance of studying the entire Zagreb index led to the generalization of the first entire Zagreb index of trees. The inverse problem on the first entire Zagreb of trees gives the existence of a tree for any even positive integer greater than 46.

Comparison of Machine Learning-Based Intrusion Detection Systems Using UNSW-NB15 Dataset
Various machine learning classifiers have been employed recently to enhance network intrusion detection. In the literature, researchers have put forth a wide range of intrusion detection solutions. The accuracy of the machine learning classifiers intrusion detection is limited by the fact that they were trained on dated samples. Therefore, the most recent dataset must be used to train the machine learning classifiers. In this study, UNSW-NB15, machine learning classifiers are trained using the most recent dataset. A taxonomy of classifiers based on eager and lazy learners is used to train the chosen classifiers, such as K-Means (KNN), Polynomial Features, Random Forest (RF), and Naive Bayes (NB), Linear Regression. In order to decrease the redundant and unnecessary features in the UNSW-NB15 dataset, chi-Square, a filter-based feature selection technique, is used in this study. When comparing these machine learning classifiers, performance is measured in terms of accuracy, mean squared error (MSE), precision, recall, and F1-score with or without feature selection technique.

Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structure Subjected to Blast Loads Without and with Carbon Fibres
In the past few decades, the terrorist attack on buildings has significantly increased. Blast loads due to explosions cause severe damage to the buildings structural and non-structural elements which may also lead to progressive collapse of the building. Hence, there is a need for the structures to be analysed and designed for blast loads in addition to the conventional loads. An investigation is undertaken to minimize the damage of a G+3 storied building and by improving the mechanical properties such as compressive strength, nonlinear behaviour of M40 grade concrete by adding carbon fibres in different dosages. A finite element model of G+3 storied building has been created using Ansys/LS Dyna to analyse the structure subjected to a blast load with charge weights of 50 kg, 100 kg, 150 kg at 3000 mm standoff distance. The lateral deflections and strains of the structure are determined for different charge weights to study the behaviour of the structure when subjected to blast loads. The addition of carbon fibres has improved the behaviour of structure by reducing the strains and deflections and optimum dosage of fibres is also determined in this paper. 2023, Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH.

Hybrid Deep Learning-Based Potato andTomato Leaf Disease Classification
Predicting potato and tomato leaf disease is vital to global food security and economic stability. Potatoes and tomatoes are among the most important staple crops, providing essential nutrition to millions worldwide. However, many tomato and potato leaf diseases can seriously reduce food productivity and yields. We are proposing a hybrid deep learning model that combines optimized CNN (OCNN) and optimized LSTM (OLSTM). The weight values of LSTM and CNN models are optimized using the modified raindrop optimization (MRDO) algorithm and the modified shark smell optimization (MSSO) algorithm, respectively. The OCNN model is used to extract potato leaf image features and then fed into the OLSTM model, which handles data sequences and captures temporal dependencies from the extracted features. Precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy metrics are used to analyze the output of the proposed OCNN-OLSTM model. The experimental performance is compared without optimizing the CNN-LSTM model, individual CNN and LSTM models, and existing MobileNet and ResNet50 models. The presented model results are compared with existing available work. We have received an accuracy of 99.25% potato and 99.31% for tomato.

Prevention and Mitigation of Intrusion Using an Efficient Ensemble Classification in Fog Computing
Cloud services in fog network is a platform that inherits software services to a network to handle cloud-specific problems. A significant component of the security paradigm that supports service quality is represented by intrusion detection systems (IDSs). This work develops an optimization environment to mitigate intrusion using RSLO classifier on a cloud-based fog networks. Here, a three-layer approach namely the cloud, end point, and fog layers is used as a trio to carry out all of the processing. In the cloud layer, three layers of processing are required for handling the dataset metrics which are data transformation metrics, feature selection metrics, and classification processes. With log transformation, data is transformed using KS correlation-based filter which is used to choose a feature. The classification using an ensemble methodology of RideNN classifiers which is a Rider Sea Lion Optimization (RSLO), a created classifier, is used to tune the ensemble classifier. Physical work is carried out at another layer called an end point layer. A trained ensemble classifier is used for intrusion detection in the fog layer. A greater precision, recall, and F-measure were obtained with an accuracy approximately 95%, with all benefits of the suggested RSLO-based ensemble strategy.

EFMD-DCNN: Efficient Face Mask Detection Model in Street Camera Using Double CNN
The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the widespread use of masks, and in India, mask-wearing in public gatherings has become mandatory, with violators being fined. In densely populated nations like India, strict regulations must be established and enforced to mitigate the pandemics impact. Authorities and cameras conduct real-time monitoring of individuals leaving their homes, but 24/7 surveillance by humans is not feasible. A suggested approach to resolve this problem is to connect human intelligence and Artificial Intelligence (AI) by employing two Machine Learning (ML) models to recognize people who arent wearing masks in live-stream feeds from surveillance, street, and new IP mask recognition cameras. The effectiveness of this method has been demonstrated through its high accuracy compared to other algorithms. The first ML model uses the YOLO (You Only Look Once) model to recognize human faces in real-time video streams. The second ML model is a pre-trained classifier using 180,000 photos to categorize photos of humans into two groups: masked and unmasked. Double is a model that combines face recognition and mask classification into a single model. CNN provides a potential solution that may be utilized with image or video-capturing equipment such as CCTV cameras to monitor security breaches, encourage mask usage, and promote a secure workplace. This studys proposed mask detection technology utilized pre-trained datasets, face detection, and various classifiers to classify faces as having a proper mask, an improper mask, or no mask. The Double CNN-based model incorporated dual convolutional neural networks and a technology-based warning system to provide real-time facial identification detection. The ML model achieved high performance and accuracy of 98.15%, with the highest precision and recall, and can be used worldwide due to its cost-effectiveness. Overall, the proposed mask detection approach can potentially be a valuable instrument for preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

A Review on Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Multilingual SMS Spam Detection
With social networks increased popularity and smartphone technology advancements, Facebook, Twitter, and short text messaging services (SMS) have gained popularity. The availability of these low cost text-based communication services has implicitly increased the intrusion of spam messages. These spam messages have started emerging as an important issue, especially to short-duration mobile users such as aged persons, children, and other less skilled users of mobile phones. Unknowingly or mistakenly clicking the hyperlinks in spam messages or subscribing to advertisements puts them under threat of debiting their money from either the bank account or the balance of the network subscriber. Different approaches have been attempted to detect spam messages in the last decade. Many mobile applications have also evolved for spam detection in English, but still, there is a lack of performance. As English has been completely covered under natural language processing, other regional languages, such as Urdu and Hindi variants, have specific issues detecting spam messages. Mobile users suffer greatly from these issues, especially in multilingual countries like India. Thus, this paper critically reviews the artificial intelligence-based spam detection system. The review lists out the existing systems that use machine and deep learning techniques with their limitations, merits, and demerits. In addition, this paper covers the scope for future enhancements in natural language processing to efficiently prevent spam messages rather than detect spam messages.
