Detection and localization for watermarking technique using LSB encryption for DICOM Image
Watermarking is an effective way of transferring hidden data from one place to another, or proving ownership of digital content. The hidden data can be text, audio, images GIF etc., the data is embedded in a cover object usually an image or a video sequence. Usually the watermarking system(s) rely on their hidden aspect, as their primary security measure, once this is established that the cover object is counting some hidden data, then it is generally possible to recover the hidden information. The author proposed an in-genuine technique for DICOM color image water marking by combining Multi Quadrant LSB with truly random mixed key cryptography. This system provides a high level of security by just the water marking technique, as it breaks the cover image into up to four quadrants, & does LSB replacement of two bytes each quadrant. The bit sequence as the quadrant sequence can be randomized to increase the randomness, use of truly random mixed key cryptography, by using a pre shared, variable length, truly random, private key, turns hidden data into noise, which can only be recovered by having the private key. Thus, the proposed technique truly diminishes the probability of recovering hidden data, even if it is detected that something is hidden in cover object. 2022 Taru Publications. -
Detection and Robust Classification of Lung Cancer Disease Using Hybrid Deep Learning Approach
Effective lung cancer diagnosis and treatment hinge on the early detection of lung nodules. Various techniques, such as thresholding, pattern recognition, computer-aided diagnostics, and backpropagation calculations, have been explored by scientists. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have emerged as powerful tools in recent times, revolutionizing many aspects of this field. However, traditional computer-aided detection systems face challenges when categorizing lung nodule detection. Excessive reliance on classifiers at every stage of the process results in diminished recognition rates and an increased occurrence of false positives. To address these issues, we present a novel approach based on deep hybrid learning for classifying lung lesions. In this study, we explore multiple memory-efficient and hybrid deep neural network (DNN) architectures for image processing. Our proposed hybrid DNN significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art, achieving an impressive accuracy of 95.21%, all while maintaining a balanced trade-off between specificity and sensitivity. The primary focus of this research is to differentiate between CT scans of patients who have early-stage lung cancer and those who do not. This is achieved by utilizing binary classification networks, including standard CNN, SqueezeNet, and MobileNet. 2023 IEEE. -
Detection of a new sample of Galactic white dwarfs in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud
Aims. In this study, we demonstrate the efficacy of the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) in identifying and characterizing white dwarfs (WDs) within the Milky Way Galaxy. Methods. Leveraging the UVIT point-source catalogue towards the Small Magellanic Cloud and cross-matching it with Gaia DR3 data, we identified 43 single WDs (37 new detections), 13 new WD+main-sequence candidates, and 161 UV bright main-sequence stars by analysing their spectral energy distributions. Using the WD evolutionary models, we determined the masses, effective temperatures, and cooling ages of these identified WDs. Results. The masses of these WDs range from 0.2 to 1.3 M? and the effective temperatures (Teff) lie between 10 000 K to 15 000 K, with cooling ages spanning 0.1-2 Gyr. Notably, we detect WDs that are hotter than reported in the literature, which we attribute to the sensitivity of UVIT. Furthermore, we report the detection of 20 new extremely low-mass candidates from our analysis. Future spectroscopic studies of the extremely low-mass candidates will help us understand the formation scenarios of these exotic objects. Despite limitations in Gaia DR3 distance measurements for optically faint WDs, we provide a crude estimate of the WD space density within 1kpc of 1.3 10-3 pc-3, which is higher than previous estimates in the literature. Conclusions. Our results underscore the instrumental capabilities of UVIT and anticipate forthcoming UV missions such as INSIST for systematic WD discovery. Our method sets a precedent for future analyses in other UVIT fields to find more WDs and perform spectroscopic studies to verify their candidacy. The Authors 2024. -
Detection of Alzheimers Disease Stages Based on Deep Learning Architectures from MRI Images
Acquiring, utilizing and storing information of any sort is known as memory. The power of memory makes the life of mankind to be more alive and reasonable. Thus, the loss of one such great capability is a rather painful phase of human life which can be destructed by multiple reasons such as diseases and disorders. One such disease is Alzheimers disease (AD). Alzheimers disease progressively damages brain cells and degrades mental activity that leads to mental illness. The accurate diagnosis of AD at earlier stages will help to prevent the disease before the brain gets damaged completely. In analyzing neurodegenerative disorders, neuroimaging plays an important role in diagnosing subjects with AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and cognitively normal (CN). In this study, advanced deep learning (DL) architectures with brain imaging techniques were employed to maximize the diagnostic accuracy of the model developed. The proposed method works with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to analyze the MRI input-output modalities. The method is evaluated using Alzheimers Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset. Binary classification is done on AD and MCI subjects from CN. This method is efficient to analyze multiple classes with a less amount of training data. 2023 selection and editorial matter, Jyotismita Chaki; individual chapters, the contributors. -
Detection of breast cancer in mammography images using intelligent models
Amongst the several cancer types, incidence of breast cancer is the highest in women. Breast cancer can be diagnosed and treated effectively through various screening methods and computer-aided detection systems (CADs). However, conventional computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) programs for detecting potential cancers on mammograms are lacking diagnostic accuracy and require upgradation. The advances in machine learning, particularly with the use of deep (multi-layered) convolutional neural networks, have allowed artificial intelligence to create a transformation in CAD that has improved models' prediction quality. The outline of this chapter includes a structured method for predicting presenting breast cancer stages, identification, segmentation and classification of lesions, and breast density assessment using the current technological models which includes artificial intelligence, deep learning, and machine learning. 2024, IGI Global.

Detection of carbapenem resistance genes and cephalosporin, and quinolone resistance genes along with oqxAB gene in Escherichia coli in hospital wastewater: A matter of concern
Aims: This study was performed to detect the presence of Escherichia coli resistant to cephalosporins, carbapenems and quinolones in hospital wastewater. Methods and Results: Wastewaters from a rural (H1) and an urban (H2) hospital were tested for E.coli resistant to cephalosporins, carbapenem and quinolones. Genes coding for chromosomal and plasmid-mediated resistance and phylogenetic grouping was detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and for genetic relatedness by rep-PCR. Of 190 (H1=94; H2=96) E.coli examined, 44% were resistant to both cephalosporins and quinolones and 3% to imipenem. ESBLs were detected phenotypically in 96% of the isolates, the gene blaCTX-M coding for 87% and blaTEM for 63%. Quinolone resistance was due to mutations in gyrA and parC genes in 97% and plasmid-coded aac-(6?)-Ib-cr in 89% of isolates. Only in one carbapenem-resistant E.coli, NDM-1 was detected. Nearly 67% of the isolates belonged to phylogenetic group B2. There was no genetic relatedness among the isolates. Conclusions: Hospital wastewater contains genetically diverse multidrug-resistant E.coli. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study stresses the need for efficient water treatment plants in healthcare settings as a public health measure to minimize spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria into the environment. 2014 The Society for Applied Microbiology. -
Detection of colorectal cancer using dilated convolutional network via Raman spectra
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early detection plays a crucial role in improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality rates. In recent years, Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a promising tool for non-invasive cancer detection. This research introduces a new method for identifying colorectal cancer (CRC). It combines Raman spectroscopy, a technique that analyzes the molecular fingerprint of tissues, with a powerful deep learning algorithm called a dilated convolutional network (DCN). By combining these two tools, the researchers aim to improve the accuracy and reliability of diagnosing CRC. Intraoperative diagnostics and pathology need to distinguish tumors from normal tissues. This proposal explores Raman spectroscopy as a new surgical tool for identifying colorectal cancer during surgery. Raman spectroscopy offers a way to directly analyze the makeup of tissue, potentially revealing the presence of cancer. However, surrounding tissue can create background interference, making it difficult to detect the key signal. The authors suggest that high-quality data from Raman spectroscopy combined with advanced deep learning algorithms could be a solution to overcome this challenge. We collect a large Raman spectroscopy dataset from 26 colorectal cancer patients with Raman shifts from 385 to 1545 cm-1. Second, dilated convolutional networks classify colorectal cancer tumour tissues. Following the deep learning model's output, we proceed by visualizing and analyzing the identified fingerprint peaks. Our deep learning algorithm exceeds previous colorectal cancer detection methods with 99.1% accuracy. Colorectal cancer detection using Raman spectra is unique. Our ensemble DCN could classify colorectal tumour and normal tissue Raman spectra. 2024 Author(s). -
Detection of cyber crime based on facial pattern enhancement using machine learning and image processing techniques
Cybercrime has several antecedents, including the rapid expansion of the internet and the wide variety of users around the world. It is now possible to use this data for a variety of purposes, whether for profit, non-profit, or purely for the benefit of the individual. As a result, tracing and detecting online acts of terrorism requires the development of a sound technique. Detection and prevention of cybercrime has been the subject of numerous studies and investigations throughout the years. An effective criminal detection system based on face recognition has been developed to prevent this from happening. Principle component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithms can be used to identify criminals based on facial recognition data. Quality, illumination, and vision are all factors that affect the efficiency of the system. The goal of this chapter is to improve accuracy in the facial recognition process for criminal identification over currently used conventional methods. Using proposed hybrid model, we can get the accuracy of 99.9.5%. 2022, IGI Global. All rights reserved. -

Detection of DoS Attacks Using Machine Learning Based Intrusion Detection System
Conventional intrusion detection systems are not always sufficient due to the increasing sophistication and frequency of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. This work presents a novel solution to this problem by leveraging machine learning techniques to increase the precision and efficacy of real-time intrusion detection. The system keeps a careful eye on network traffic patterns, looking for any irregularities that would point to a denial-of-service attack. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that utilizes machine learning technologies - specifically, neural networks and support vector machines - allows for real-time adaptation to new attack patterns. A combination of rigorous simulations and real-world testing provides empirical support for the IDS's quick detection and mitigation of DoS threats. This initiative makes a major contribution to the development of cybersecurity defenses. 2024 IEEE. -

Detection of Forest Fire Using Modified LSTM Based Feature Extraction with Waterwheel Plant Optimisation Algorithm Based VAE-GAN Model
A crucial natural resource that directly affects the ecology is forests. Forest fires have become a noteworthy problem recently as a result of both natural and man-made climatic changes. A smart city application that uses a forest fire discovery technology based on artificial intelligence is provided in order to prevent significant catastrophes. A major danger to the environment, animals, and human lives is posed by forest fires. The early detection and suppression of these fires is crucial. This work offers a thorough method for detecting forest fires using advanced deep learning (DL) algorithms. Preprocessing the forest fire dataset is the initial step in order to improve its relevance and quality. Then, to enable the model to capture the dynamic character of forest fire data, long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are used to extract useful feature from the dataset. In this work, weight optimisation in LSTM is performed using a Modified Firefly Algorithm (MFFA), which enhances the model's performance and convergence. The Variational Autoencoder Generative Adversarial Networks (VAEGAN) model is used to classify the retrieved features. Furthermore, every DL model's success depends heavily on hyperparameter optimisation. The hyperparameters of an VAEGAN model are tuned in this research using the Waterwheel Plant Optimisation Algorithm (WWPA), an optimisation technique inspired by nature. WPPA uses the idea of plant growth to properly tune the VAEGAN's parameters, assuring the network's peak fire detection performance. The outstanding accuracy (ACC) of 97.8%, precision (PR) of 97.7%, recall (RC) of 96.26%, F1-score (F1) of 97.3%, and specificity (SPEC) of 97.5% of the suggested model beats all other existing models, which is probably owing to its improved architecture and training techniques.

Detection of high-frequency pulsation in WR135: Investigation of stellar wind dynamics
We report the detection of high-frequency pulsations in WR 135 from short-cadence (10 minute) optical photometric and spectroscopic time series surveys. The harmonics up to the sixth order are detected from the integrated photometric flux variations, while the comparatively weaker eighth harmonic is detected from the strengths of the emission lines. We investigate the driving source of the stratified winds of WR 135 using the radiative transfer modeling code, CMFGEN, and find the physical conditions that can explain the propagation of such pulsations. From our study, we find that the optically thick subsonic layers of the atmosphere are close to the Eddington limit and are launched by the Fe opacity. The outer optically thin supersonic winds (Tross = 0.1 0.01) are launched by the He II and C IV opacities. The stratified winds above the sonic point undergo velocity perturbation that can lead to clumps. In the optically thin supersonic winds, dense clumps of smaller size (fVFF = 0.27 0.3, where fVFF is the volume filling factor) pulsate with higher-order harmonics. The larger clumps (fVFF = 0.2) oscillate with lower-order harmonics of the pulsation and affect the overall wind variability. 2024. The Author(s). -

Detection of Malicious Nodes in Flying Ad-hoc Network with Supervised Machine Learning
An Ad-hoc network (FANET) is a new upcoming technology which has been used in several sectors. Ad-hoc networks are mostly wireless local area networks (LANs). The devices communicate with each other directly instead of relying on a base station or access points as in wireless LANs for data transfer. In an Ad-hoc network the communication between one node to another in a FANET is not secured and there isn't any authorized protocol for secured communication. Therefore, we suggest an algorithm to detect the malicious node in a network. This algorithm uses Linear regression to calculate the reputation or trust value of a node in the network. Then the above found trust value is used to classify the node as normal node or malicious node based on the Logistic Regression Classification. Thus, allowing a secure communication of data and avoiding attacks. 2022 IEEE. -
Detection of picric acid in industrial effluents using multifunctional green fluorescent B/N-carbon quantum dots
Carbon quantum dots have recently gained widespread attention due to their excellent physicochemical features. The rapid escalation in the dumping of hazardous chemicals into water, spurred demand for developing efficient and selective sensors for toxic chemicals. Herein, we have developed a novel fluorescence sensor for picric acid which is a major pollutant in industrial effluents. The new strategy exploits the development of a fluorescence sensor based on N-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) followed by boron functionalization. The N-CQDs were synthesized in a rapid single-step microwave technique by employing L-serine and citric acid. Subsequent boron functionalization of N-CQDs was carried out using boric acid for the synthesis of Boron-nitrogen carbon quantum dots (B/N-CQDs). The B/N-CQDs were found to exhibit high quantum yield (24%), good water solubility, outstanding photostability features, and bright green fluorescence under UV light. The morphology of B/N-CQDs is spherical, with scattered particle sizes ranging from 2 to 8 nanometers. Furthermore, B/N-CQDs were found to be an effective fluorescence probe for the selective and sensitive detection of picric acid, with a good linear range of 37 nM-30 M and a detection limit of 1.8 nM. The Photoluminescence (PL) intensity of B/N-CQDs was selectively quenched by picric acid. The quenching mechanism was conclusively established using fluorescence lifetime decay studies. Moreover, the synthesized B/N-CQDs was successfully employed for the analysis of picric acid from industrial effluents and cell imaging with Hela cells to showcase the utility of the developed fluorescent probe. 2022 Elsevier Ltd -
