Automated Deep Learning Pipeline for Accurate Segmentation of Aortic Lumen and Branches in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Two-Step Approach

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a serious medical condition characterized by the abnormal enlargement of the abdominal aorta. If left untreated, AAA can have life-threatening consequences. Accurate segmentation of the aorta in Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) images plays a vital role in treatment planning for AAA. However, manual and semi-automatic segmentation methods suffer from limitations in terms of time and accuracy. This study presents a deep learning pipeline that aims to fully automate the precise and efficient segmentation of the aorta and its branches within CTA images. A

Intelligent Real-Time Hypoglycemia Prediction for Type 1 Diabetes

Hypoglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) refers to a condition where blood glucose (BG) levels drop to abnormally low levels, typically below 70 mg/dL. This can occur when there is an excessive amount of insulin relative to the blood glucose level, leading to an imbalance that can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening if not promptly treated. The availability of large amounts of data from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin doses, carbohydrate intake, and additional vital signs, together with deep learning (DL) techniques, has revolutionized algorithmic approaches for BG

Sentiment-Based Spatiotemporal Prediction Framework for Pandemic Outbreaks Awareness Using Social Networks Data Classification

According to the World Health Organization, several factors have affected the accurate reporting of SARS-CoV-2 outbreak status, such as limited data collection resources, cultural and educational diversity, and inconsistent outbreak reporting from different sectors. Driven by this challenging situation, this study investigates the potential expediency of using social network data to develop reliable early information surveillance and warning system for pandemic outbreaks. As such, an enhanced framework of three inherently interlinked subsystems is proposed. The first subsystem includes data

Benchmarking Concept Drift Detectors for Online Machine Learning

Concept drift detection is an essential step to maintain the accuracy of online machine learning. The main task is to detect changes in data distribution that might cause changes in the decision boundaries for a classification algorithm. Upon drift detection, the classification algorithm may reset its model or concurrently grow a new learning model. Over the past fifteen years, several drift detection methods have been proposed. Most of these methods have been implemented within the Massive Online Analysis (MOA). Moreover, a couple of studies have compared the drift detectors. However, such

An Efficient Source Printer Identification Model using Convolution Neural Network (SPI-CNN)

Document forgery detection is becoming increasingly important in the current era, as forgery techniques are available to even inexperienced users. Source printer identification is a method for identifying the source printer and classifying the questioned document into one of the printer classes. According to what we know, most earlier studies segmented documents into characters, words, and patches or cropped them to obtain large datasets. In contrast, in this paper, we worked with the document as a whole and a small dataset. This paper uses three techniques dependent on CNN to find the

Specialized Syntactic Quran Search Engines: Evaluation and Limitations

The Quran is the sacred text that provides guidance and teachings to the followers of Islam. This paper aims to analyze and evaluate the limitations of current specialized search engines used for retrieving information from the Quran. Also, this work includes an initial evaluation of Quran search with a large language model (LLM) employing prompt engineering. The study focuses on the syntactic aspect of information retrieval, while acknowledging the necessity of considering the semantic meaning of Quranic words and verses for a more comprehensive analysis. Furthermore, recommendations and

A New Secure Model for Data Protection over Cloud Computing

The main goal of any data storage model on the cloud is accessing data in an easy way without risking its security. A security consideration is a major aspect in any cloud data storage model to provide safety and efficiency. In this paper, we propose a secure data protection model over the cloud. The proposed model presents a solution to some security issues of cloud such as data protection from any violations and protection from a fake authorized identity user, which adversely affects the security of the cloud. This paper includes multiple issues and challenges with cloud computing that

Diabetic Retinopathy Detection: A PySpark-Driven Approach with VGG 16 Feature Extraction and MLP Classification

The current study used cutting-edge techniques to experimentally test the early diagnosis of diabetes via retinal scans. The goal was to enable effective disease prediction and management by facilitating quick and precise medical diagnostics. Three processes were involved in the development of a Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) diagnosis tool: feature extraction, feature reduction, and image classification. The research employed Apache Spark, a distributed computing framework, to manage large datasets and enhance the performance of the multilayer perceptron (MLP) model via hyperparameter tuning and

Dynamic Modeling and Identification of the COVID-19 Stochastic Dispersion

In this work, the stochastic dispersion of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at the borders between France and Italy has been considered using a multi-input multi-output stochastic model. The physical effects of wind, temperature and altitude have been investigated as these factors and physical relationships are stochastic in nature. Stochastic terms have also been included to take into account the turbulence effect, and the r and om nature of the above physical parameters considered. Then, a method is proposed to identify the developed model's order and parameters. The actual data has

Autonomous Traffic-Aware and QoS-Constrained Capacity Cell Shutdown for Green Mobile Networks

Energy efficiency of Radio Access Networks (RANs) is increasingly becoming a global strategic priority for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and governments to attain sustainable and uninterruptible network services. In this work, we propose an autonomous Machine Learning (ML)-based framework to maximize RAN energy efficiency via underutilized radio resource shutdown while maintaining an adequate network capacity with a preset Quality-Of-Service (QoS) level. This is achieved by dynamically switching radio resources on and off according to service demand. Training on a live network dataset and
