A novel launch power determination strategy for physical layer impairment-aware (PLI-A) lightpath provisioning in mixed-line-rate (MLR) optical networks
In mixed-line-rate (MLR) networks, various data rates, on varied wavelengths, exist on a fiber. In MLR networks, end-to-end lightpaths can be established with the desired line rate; requiring advanced modulation formats for higher data rates. However, along the route, the signals experience different physical layer impairments (PLIs), and their quality also worsens. The transmission signal quality is affected by the launch power, which must be high for lesser noise at the receiver, and must also be low, such that the PLIs do not start to distort the signal. Further, higher launch power also disrupts the existing lightpath and its neighbours. We propose a weighted strategy for provisioning PLI-aware (PLI-A) lightpaths in MLR networks. Through the simulations, we compare and demonstrate that the proposed strategy demonstrates better performances than our previously proposed algorithm (i.e. PLI-Average (PLI-A)), and existing approaches. 2016 IEEE. -
A Novel Machine Learning-Based Prediction Method for Early Detection and Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Disease Using ECG Signal Processing
Congenital heart disease (CHD) represents a multifaceted medical condition that requires early detection and diagnosis for effective management, given its diverse presentations and subtle symptoms that manifest from birth. This research article introduces a groundbreaking healthcare application, the Machine Learning-based Congenital Heart Disease Prediction Method (ML-CHDPM), tailored to address these challenges and expedite the timely identification and classification of CHD in pregnant women. The ML-CHDPM model leverages state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to categorize CHD cases, taking into account pertinent clinical and demographic factors. Trained on a comprehensive dataset, the model captures intricate patterns and relationships, resulting in precise predictions and classifications. The evaluation of the models performance encompasses sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Remarkably, the findings underscore the ML-CHDPMs superiority across six pivotal metrics: accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, false positive rate (FPR), and false negative rate (FNR). The method achieves an average accuracy rate of 94.28%, precision of 87.54%, recall rate of 96.25%, specificity rate of 91.74%, FPR of 8.26%, and FNR of 3.75%. These outcomes distinctly demonstrate the ML-CHDPMs effectiveness in reliably predicting and classifying CHD cases. This research marks a significant stride toward early detection and diagnosis, harnessing advanced machine learning techniques within the realm of ECG signal processing, specifically tailored to pregnant women. 2024 by the authors. -
A novel map matching algorithm for real-time location using low frequency floating trajectory data
The continuous enhancement of technologies and modern well-equipped infrastructures are necessary for easy life. Road accident and missing vehicle ratio are very challenging in preventing misshapenness because these are continually increasing due to traffic hazards. The single way to protect human life from such type of conditions that is more reliable navigation services such as correct location tracking of vehicles on the road network. The real-time location tracking methods fully depends on the map matching algorithms, which also compute a reliable path on the road network. A smart vehicle can provide more reliable tracking services during or before any misshaping using proposed map matching algorithm. This work contributes to ensure correct location for necessary action during misshaping, alert accident zone and communicate messages without wasting valuable time. The proposed approach is validated on the real tracking data and is compared against poor GPS service. Copyright 2023 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. -

A novel multi functional multi parameter concealed cluster based data aggregation scheme for wireless sensor networks (NMFMP-CDA)
Data aggregation is a promising solution for minimizing the communication overhead by merging redundant data thereby prolonging the lifetime of energy starving Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Deployment of heterogeneous sensors for measuring different kinds of physical parameter requires the aggregator to combine diverse data in a smooth and secure manner. Supporting multi functional data aggregation can reduce the transmission cost wherein the base station can compute multiple statistical operations in one query. In this paper, we propose a novel secure energy efficient scheme for aggregating data of diverse parameters by representing sensed data as number of occurrences of different range value using binary encoded form thereby enabling the base station to compute multiple statistical functions over the obtained aggregate of each single parameter in one query. This also facilitates aggregation at every hop with less communication overhead and allows the network size to grow dynamically which in turn meets the need of large scale WSN. To support the recovery of parameter wise elaborated view from the multi parameter aggregate a novelty is employed in additive aggregation. End to end confidentiality of the data is secured by adopting elliptic curve based homomorphic encryption scheme. In addition, signature is attached with the cipher text to preserve the data integrity and authenticity of the node both at the base station and the aggregator which filters out false data at the earliest there by saving bandwidth. The efficiency of the proposed scheme is analyzed in terms of computation and communication overhead with respect to various schemes for various network sizes. This scheme is also validated against various attacks and proved to be efficient for aggregating more number of parameters. To the best of our understanding, our proposed scheme is the first to meet all of the above stated quality measures with a good performance. 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. -
A novel optimised method for speckle reduction in medical ultrasound images
The advancement of medical imaging techniques evolving from X-ray to PET images and the medical image analysis helped medical experts to detect, diagnose and offer treatments for complex disorders and deadly diseases in the human body. Among the various modalities used, Ultrasound imaging is the most widely accepted modality because of its affordability, non-invasive nature and various other features. But the presence of speckle noise in ultrasound image lowers the image quality and reduces diagnostic value. This article states an improved hybrid speckle noise reduction method, a combined application of Kuan and non-local means filters. In this method, Kuan filter is used to sharpen the edges and thereafter the speckle noise elimination is done by using the non-local means. In addition, the performance of the proposed hybrid filter and its design parameters are optimised by using a meta-heuristic called grey wolf optimiser. The performance of hybrid method is evaluated by analysing a chosen set of well-known post filtering methods used for speckle reduction with given ultrasound B-mode images. The comparison of test results using remarkable performance metrics and computation time demonstrate that the hybrid method can be used as the efficient speckle reduction method for image analysis.

A Novel Paradigm for IoT Security: ResNet-GRU Model Revolutionizes Botnet Attack Detection
The rapid proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has engendered substantial security apprehensions, chiefly due to the emergence of botnet attacks. This research study delves into the realm of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) by leveraging the IoT23 dataset, with a specific emphasis on the intricate domain of IoT at the network's edge. The evolution of edge computing underscores the exigency for tailored security solutions. An array of statistical methodologies, encompassing ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and Friedman tests, is systematically employed to illuminate the evolving trends across multiple facets of the study. Given the intricacies entailed in feature selection within edge environments, Chi-square analyses, Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE), and Lasso-based techniques are strategically harnessed to unearth meaningful feature subsets. A meticulous evaluation encompassing 19 classifiers, meticulously selected from both machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) paradigms, is rigorously conducted. Initial findings underscore the potential of the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model, especially when coupled with intrinsic lasso-based feature selection. This promising outcome catalyzes the formulation of an ensemble approach that harnesses multiple LassoCV models, aimed at amplifying feature selection proficiency. Furthermore, an optimized ResNet-GRU model emerges from the fusion of the GRU and ResNet architectures, with the objective of augmenting classification performance. In response to mounting concerns regarding data privacy at the edge, a resilient federated learning ecosystem is meticulously crafted. The seamless integration of the optimized ResNet-GRU model into this framework facilitates the employment of FedAvg, a widely acclaimed federated learning methodology, to adeptly navigate the intricacies associated with data sharing challenges. A comprehensive performance evaluation is undertaken, wherein the ResNet-GRU model is benchmarked against FedAvg and a diverse array of other federated learning algorithms, including FedProx and Fed+. This extensive comparative analysis encompasses a spectrum of performance metrics and processing time benchmarks, shedding comprehensive light on the capabilities of the model.

A novel route for isomerization of ?-pinene oxide at room temperature under irradiation of light-emitting diodes
Present investigation demonstrates the potential use of HY-zeolite for photochemical applications in the selective isomerization of ?-pinene oxide to carveol. In this study, ultraviolet lamp and LED (390 nm) light sources were employed under atmospheric conditions. The results revealed that light penetration through protonated zeolite cavity promotes the hydrogen radical formation, facilitating the isomerization reaction in the presence of dimethylacetamide solvent to achieve up to 60% and 40% conversion of ?-pinene oxide to selective carveol (71%) under light irradiation. Here, using in situ spectroscopic studies (EPR and fluorescence), to confirm the hydrogen radical generation after light irradiation on the reaction mixture. Besides, the mechanistic pathway is proposed based on the experimental evidence of the formation of radicals, which is validated by the Density Functional Theory (DFT). By comparing electrical energy consumption for the same reaction using different reaction setups, it is understood that the energy requirement is nearly the same in the case of a reaction performed using a thermal reactor. The power consumption in reactions conducted using thermal, UV lamp and LED-based reactors was 1.6 kW/h, 1.5 kW/h, and 0.00144 kW/h, respectively. It is clear that the energy consumption in thermal and UV lamp-based reactors is higher than that of LED-based reactors, which was 1111 and 1041 times more than LED reactors respectively. Notably, the catalyst was found to be recyclable at least five consecutive runs, and the successful protocol was demonstrated up to 50 g scale. 2023 Elsevier Ltd -
A novel scheme for energy enhancement in wireless sensor networks
Wireless sensor networks consists of a large amount of miniaturized battery-powered wireless networked sensors which are intended to function for years without any human intervention. Because of the large number of sensors and the restrictions on the environment of their deployment, replacing the components cannot be thought of. So the only viable way out is to efficiently use the available resources. Energy efficiency is a major matter of concern in such networks even though energy harvesting techniques exists. Recent times have shown a growing interest on understanding and developing new strategies of wireless sensor network routing especially focussing on the optimal use of the limited and constrained resources like energy, memory and processing capabilities. Routing have to be given due importance as it consumes major part of the energy compared to that of sensing and processing. Adopting the natures self organising system intelligence for the emerging technologies is quite interesting and has proved to be efficient. This article sheds some light on the existing bio inspired routing protocols and explains a new procedure with mobile sinks for energy efficient routing in wireless sensor networks. 2015 IEEE. -
A novel secured ledger platform for real-time transactions
The present disclosure relates to a new centralized ledger technology with a centralized validation process. It offers a single platform for all categories of real-time transactions and validations, unlike existing conventional blockchain technology. It offers three levels of hashing placed at the generator, server, and validator end for data security from data tampering and two levels of encryption for communication lines between generator-server and server-validator for packet security. This system ensures trustworthiness, authenticity, and CIA (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) to its end users while being real-time in execution. The proposed system does not follow a chain-based file architecture. Due to this, no concept of chain break arises, and the problems that arise as a result of chain break in the blockchain are avoided. 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. -
A novel security framework for healthcare data through IOT sensors
The Internet of Things (IoT) has played a crucial role in the distribution of health records and poses security issues to the patient-specific health information needed for remote hospital attention. The majority of publicly accessible security mechanisms for health information do not concentrate on the flow of information from IoT different sensors installed upon the person's blood through networking devices to primary health care centers. In this paper, we investigated the potential risks of unprotected transmission data, particularly among IoT sensor systems and network gateways. The study encourages the transmission of health insurance data to hospitals remotely. The proposed health care information model would encode immediately so that the sensing element before even being transferred to cryptographic techniques. To use a laboratory configuration with two-stage cryptography at the IoT sensor and two-stage decoding at the physician's surgery receptor, the prototype system was validated. The test results for a complete safety system for IoT - based on the transmission of healthcare data seem good. The study opens up new avenues for information security on IoT devices. 2022 The Authors -
A novel SIW based dual-band power divider using double-circular complementary split ring resonators
This article presents a novel design of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) dual-band power divider loaded with double-circular complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs). The double-circular CSRRs are etched on the top layer of the proposed structure to obtain the dual-band characteristic. The proposed geometry provides a passband frequency below the cut-off frequency of the SIW due to the electric dipole nature of the CSRRs. By changing the dimensions of the CSRRs, various passband characteristics are studied. To validate the design idea, a compact dual band power divider with equal power division operating at 8.4 and 11.7 GHz is designed, fabricated, and tested. A good steadiness is found between simulated and tested results. The proposed idea provides features of compact size, dual-band operation, and good isolation. The size of the fabricated prototype excluding microstrip transition is 0.473?g 0.284?g, where ?g is the guided wave length at the center frequency of first band. 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. -
A Novel Steganographic Approach for Image Encryption Using Watermarking
Steganography is a technique for obfuscating secret information by enclosing it in a regular, non-secret file or communication; the information is subsequently extracted at the intended location. Steganography can be used in addition to encryption to further conceal or safeguard data. Watermarking is one such technique practiced in the area of steganography. Watermarking can be practiced via multiple algorithmic techniques like Discrete Wavelength Transform (DWT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). In this study, a combination of such approaches along with AES encrypted watermarked images has been implemented. Validation of these techniques has been achieved by evaluating the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR). 2023 IEEE. -

We present CFHT photometry and IRTF spectroscopy of low-mass candidate members of Serpens South and Serpens Core (?430 pc, ?0.5 Myr), identified using a novel combination of photometric filters, known as the W-band method. We report SC182952+011618, SS182959-020335, and SS183032-021028 as young, low-mass Serpens candidate members, with spectral types in the range M7-M8, M5-L0, and M5-M6.5, respectively. Best-fitting effective temperatures and luminosities imply masses of < 0.12M? for all three candidate cluster members.

A Novel Survey for Young Substellar Objects with the W-band Filter. V. IC 348 and Barnard 5 in the Perseus Cloud
We report the discovery of substellar objects in the young star cluster IC 348 and the neighboring Barnard 5 dark cloud, both at the eastern end of the Perseus star-forming complex. The substellar candidates are selected using narrowband imaging, i.e., on and off photometric technique with a filter centered around the water absorption feature at 1.45 ?m, a technique proven to be efficient in detecting water-bearing substellar objects. Our spectroscopic observations confirm three brown dwarfs in IC 348. In addition, the source WBIS 03492858+3258064, reported in this work, is the first confirmed brown dwarf discovered toward Barnard 5. Together with the young stellar population selected via near- and mid-infrared colors using the Two Micron All Sky Survey and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, we diagnose the relation between stellar versus substellar objects with the associated molecular clouds. Analyzed by Gaia EDR3 parallaxes and kinematics of the cloud members across the Perseus region, we propose the star formation scenario of the complex under influence of the nearby OB association. 2022.
