Classification of fibroid using novel fully connected CNN with back propagation classifier (NFCCNNBP)
In this phase, we utilize features extracted from a prior stage to classify uterine fibroids. We employ a predefined dataset with feature values as our training set for a novel classifier called the "Novel Fully Connected CNN with Back Propagation Classifier."This classifier learns from the training set. We then put this method to the test with new images not included in the training dataset. Its primary objective is to assess the extent of infection across the entire uterine surface. Through the adoption of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) combined with Back Propagation (BP), we have achieved an impressive accuracy rate of 98.3% for predictions. When we compare this accuracy to existing classifiers like Fuzzy Logic, Naive Bayes, and SVM, our proposed model, NFCCNNBP, outperforms them significantly. 2024 Author(s). -
Prediction of heart disease using XGB classifier
Predicting heart disease in advance could be a significant medical breakthrough because it is widespread. A reliable strategy that can be utilized to do this is machine learning. Decision tree classifiers, random forests, and multilayer perceptron have all been used in studies to predict heart disease. However, several of these techniques could be improved, like poor precision. In our research, we have taken the South African heart Disease dataset and implemented a few models, which include Support Vector Machine (SVM), K Neighbors (KNN), Artificial neural network and XG Boost Classifier. We have used different methods for measuring performance. SVM with 69.0 accuracy, KNN with 86.0 accuracy, and ANN with 80.0 accuracy. However, the XGB classifier has shown some promising results in predicting heart disease with an accuracy of 90%. Further, when the hyperparameters were tuned using the random search method, the accuracy increased to 92.8%. The benefit of this work is that it uses machine-learning approaches to enhance the performance of coronary heart disease prediction. 2024 Author(s). -
Multilayer classification based Alzheimer's disease detection
Hippocampus, a small brain region plays a role in the initiation of the neurodegenerative pathways that leadto Alzheimer's. Humans with MCI are probable to develop Alzheimer's disorder. Hippocampal volume has been proven to indicate which patients with MCI will later develop Alzheimer's. Brain degeneration in MCI progresses over time and varies from person - to - person, making early detection difficult. Magnetic resonance imaging is a tool in diagnosing clinically suspected Alzheimer's disease. Information about the historical development of structural changes as the disease progresses from preclinical to overt stages is shaping understanding of the disease, and also guides diagnosis and treatment decisions in the future. In this study, we developed a new multilayer classification method to identify Alzheimer's disease from brain MRI using contour model and multilayer classifier. This method is evaluated on 436 samples of OASIS dataset and achieved accuracy of method is 93.75 %. 2024 Author(s). -

Efficiency Analysis of Modified Sepic Converter for Renewable Energy Applications
A boosting module and a traditional SEPIC (single ended primary inductance converter) are combined to create the suggested circuit. As a result, the converter gains from the SEPIC convertera's many benefits. Also, the converter that is being presented is appropriate for renewable energy sources due to its high voltage gain and continuous input current. In comparison to a traditional SEPIC with a single-controlled switch, it offers a higher voltage gain. The voltage gains of the converter that has been suggested is closely related to that of the converter that was recently developed. This converter was constructed on the foundation of the conventional converter, as well as the conventional DC-to-DC converter. One of the most important characteristics of a projected converter is that it is equipped with a single controlled device and has the capability to increase voltage gain without the utilisation of a coupled inductor structure or transformer. The non-idealities of the semiconductor devices and passive components have been taken into consideration in the analysis of voltage gain in continuous current mode (CCM). The conventional SEPIC converter can be modified by incorporating capacitors and diodes. The experimental results indicate that this converter can amplify the output voltage by approximately 10 times and has an efficiency of around 97%. The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2024. -
Analyses of the Power Flow through Distributed Generator based on Unsynchronized Measurements
Based on measurements taken from the main substation and the connections between distributed generators and micro-grids that are not in sync, this study suggests a new way to look at the load flow of distributed generation. The conclusions are based on data from a distribution generatora's Load Flow Analysis that was not in sync. Distributed generation is what this approach is based on. Creating a strong communication system and using measurement data from the past are two ways to make this happen. This objective may be achieved with the use of previously gathered measurements. The time-tested backward-forward sweep method is the method of choice for analyzing power flow using unsynchronized data. This is the preferred approach. The angles of synchronization are likely to be unknowns that must be estimated. On a smart grid system with a large number of distributed generation and microgrids, a range of mathematical computations are conducted to verify the correctness of performance predictions produced by the suggested theory. The classic backward-forward sweep was shown to be the most effective method for analyzing power flow based on data that was not synchronized in many instances. This is the strategy that is presently being recommended. Because the angles of synchronization are presumed to be unknown, a mathematical equation must be devised to determine them.

Transference of Love-type Wave Through Cobalt Ferrite Cofe2O4 Layer Structure, Governed by an Imperfect Interface
An analytical discussion of the wave transmission in a piezomagnetic (Cobalt ferrite) thin plate resting on an elastic substrate is presented in the problem. It is presumed that the geometrys interface is not ideal. The flaw of the considered structure is used to describe by following the linear spring model. The calculative method of the upper material is Direct Sturm-Liouville. Dispersion relations are drived for each of the magnetically open and magnetically short cases. Love-type wave velocity profiles have been depicted on graphs for various influencing factors, such as heterogeneity in the substrate, layer thickness, and interface imperfections. It has been demonstrated that raising these parameters raises the Love waves phase velocity. Furthermore, it is found that compared to substrate heterogeneity, layer thickness has less of an impact on the waves velocity profile. Additionally, it has been shown how the aforementioned cases compare when imperfect parameters are varied. It is discovered that the velocity in the open case is greater than that in the short case. The results have potential applications in the design of piezomagnetic semiconductor devices controlled by electric fields and are of great significance for developing surface acoustic wave (SAW) gyroscopes. 2024 American Institute of Physics Inc..

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship Modeling for the Prediction of Fish Toxicity Lethal Concentration on Fathead Minnow
As there has been a rise in the usage of in silico approaches, for assessing the risks of harmful chemicals upon animals, more researchers focus on the utilization of Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship models. A number of machine learning algorithms link molecular descriptors that can infer chemical structural properties associated with their corresponding biological activity. Efficient and comprehensive computational methods which can process huge set of heterogeneous chemical datasets are in demand. In this context, this study establishes the usage of various machine learning algorithms in predicting the acute aquatic toxicity of diverse chemicals on Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas). Sample drive approach is employed on the train set for binning the data so that they can be located in a domain space having more similar chemicals, instead of using the dataset that covers a wide range of chemicals at the entirety. Here, bin wise best learning model and subset of features that are minimally required for the classification are found for further ease. Several regression methods are employed to find the estimation of toxicity LC50 value by adopting several statistical measures and hence bin wise strategies are determined. Through experimentation, it is evident that the proposed model surpasses the other existing models by providing an R2 of 0.8473 with RMSE 0.3035 which is comparable. Hence, the proposed model is competent for estimating the toxicity in new and unseen chemical. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
