Abstract Recent developments in digital cameras and electronic gadgets coupled with Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL)-based automated apple leaf disease detection models are commonly employed as reasonable alternatives to traditional visual inspection models. In this background, the current paper devises an Effective Sailfish Optimizer with EfficientNet-based Apple Leaf disease detection (ESFO-EALD) model. The goal of the proposed ESFO-EALD technique is to identify the occurrence of plant leaf diseases automatically. In this scenario, Median Filtering (MF) approach is utilized to boost the quality of apple plant leaf images. Moreover, SFO with Kapur's entropy-based segmentation technique is also utilized for the… More >

Abstract Accurate location or positioning of people and self-driven devices in large indoor environments has become an important necessity The application of increasingly automated self-operating moving transportation units, in large indoor spaces demands a precise knowledge of their positions. Technologies like WiFi and Bluetooth, despite their low-cost and availability, are sensitive to signal noise and fading effects. For these reasons, a hybrid approach, which uses two different signal sources, has proven to be more resilient and accurate for the positioning determination in indoor environments. Hence, this paper proposes an improved hybrid technique to implement a fingerprinting based indoor positioning, using Received… More >

Abstract As the amount of data continues to grow rapidly, the variety of data produced by applications is becoming more affluent than ever. Cloud computing is the best technology evolving today to provide multi-services for the mass and variety of data. The cloud computing features are capable of processing, managing, and storing all sorts of data. Although data is stored in many high-end nodes, either in the same data centers or across many data centers in cloud, performance issues are still inevitable. The cloud replication strategy is one of best solutions to address risk of performance degradation in the cloud environment.… More >

Abstract Heart disease prognosis (HDP) is a difficult undertaking that requires knowledge and expertise to predict early on. Heart failure is on the rise as a result of today’s lifestyle. The healthcare business generates a vast volume of patient records, which are challenging to manage manually. When it comes to data mining and machine learning, having a huge volume of data is crucial for getting meaningful information. Several methods for predicting HD have been used by researchers over the last few decades, but the fundamental concern remains the uncertainty factor in the output data, as well as the need to decrease… More >

Abstract In the last decades, technology has used Copper for IC interconnect and it has been the best material used in the wire downsizing. However, Copper is now showing inefficiency as downscaling is getting deeper. Recent research starts to show Tungsten (W) as a possible replacement, for its better downsizing characteristic. The scaling-down of interconnects dimension has to be augmented with thin diffusion layers. It is crucial to subdue tungsten diffusion in the nickel-based thermal spray Flexicord (NiCrAlY) coating layers. Inappropriately, diffusion barriers with thicknesses less than 4.3 nm do not to execute well. With the introduction of two dimensional layers,… More >
