Abstract Feature-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) using 2D Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) in structured indoor environments commonly relies on the extraction of straight segments and corners from raw scan data. The quality of these landmarks depends not only on the fitting algorithm, but also on how uncertainty is modeled and propagated from line estimates to derived corner features. Although the magnitude of LiDAR uncertainty has been widely studied, the influence of line parameterization and geometric conditioning on uncertainty propagation has received less attention. In particular, the scale ambiguity inherent to implicit line representations can… More >

Abstract This study proposes SWAGE-3D (Spectral Wasserstein Attention Generative Ensemble), an enhanced 3D-VAE-GAN framework for single-view 3D object reconstruction using voxel-based representations. The proposed model integrates RGB-D encoding, Wasserstein adversarial learning with hybrid Lipschitz regularization, and a self-attention–augmented generator to improve structural coherence and training stability. By combining variational latent modeling with stabilized Wasserstein optimization, the framework aims to address common challenges in 3D generative modeling, including mode collapse, unstable convergence, and insufficient global consistency. The encoder employs a depth-aware feature extraction strategy, while the discriminator utilizes a hybrid spectral normalization and gradient penalty mechanism to More >

Abstract Signal categorization is a critical component of the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA), as it directly influences its anomaly detection capability. Conventional DCA implementations typically rely on heuristic or optimization-based approaches, such as Grouping Particle Swarm Optimization (GPSO), Grouping Genetic Algorithms (GGA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Support Vector Machines (SVM), to determine mappings between input features and the three immunological signal categories: Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMP), Danger Signals (DS), and Safe Signals (SS). These approaches depend heavily on domain expertise and predefined rules, making the resulting signal mappings static and often dataset specific. Consequently, the… More >

Abstract This study investigates finite transient deformations in hyperelastic beam structures based on the Gent material model. To enable its application within beam formulations, the Gent model is expressed in a linearized form. A five-parameter beam element, incorporating two displacement variables, two difference parameters, and one thickness parameter, is adopted. The nonlinear dynamic response is solved using the implicit Newmark method, allowing efficient analysis of beams subjected to complex loading and boundary conditions. The results show that the proposed approach accurately captures the response of geometrically nonlinear beams and reproduces the behavior of neo-Hookean hyperelastic beams More >

Abstract Designing thin-walled plate structures is challenging due to their susceptibility to various forms of structural instability. In addition, the substantial computational cost of finite element analyses, especially in optimization scenarios, underscores the need for efficient and reliable surrogate models. To address this challenge, the present study employs machine learning (ML) techniques to predict the buckling response of thin plates under complex boundary conditions. Four ML models, including XGBoost, CatBoost, Light GBM, and Random Forest, are developed to predict the buckling coefficient based on input features, including aspect ratio, boundary condition, and compressive loading pattern.

Abstract This study presents a numerical investigation of thermosolutal convection within a baffled porous cavity filled with a radiative Casson-based ternary aqueous nanofluid. The ternary hybrid nanofluid is formulated by dispersing three distinct nanoparticles into a water-based solution, aiming to enhance the thermal and solute transport characteristics. The cavity includes internal baffles that modulate convective flow and facilitate improved energy transport. The governing equations for momentum, energy, species concentration, and entropy generation are discretized and solved using a higher-order compact (HOC) finite difference scheme, ensuring superior numerical precision. The novelty of the present study lies in… More >

Abstract Ensuring robust methods for maintaining high levels of medical data security is crucial in the Medical Internet of Things (IoT) for the protection of sensitive patient data during real-time transmission and analysis. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals in medical IoT systems are transmitted through cloud and edge networks, which create risks of cyber threats, unauthorized access, and data breaches. Consequently, there is an urgent need for efficient encryption methods to ensure the confidentiality of EEG signals during classification and prediction processes, as several state-of-the-art models either neglect security during classification or suffer from increased computational overhead that… More >

Abstract The development of surface wrinkles on thin films bonded to compliant substrates is recognized as a form of mechanical instability. While this wrinkling behavior is widely studied when the thin film is under direct compression, much less attention has been devoted to the prediction of wrinkle formation caused by tension and cyclic compression-tension deformations. This work focuses on compression vs. tension-induced wrinkles using a relatively stiff polymeric film on an elastomeric substrate as the model system. Experimental observations show that parallel wrinkles formed during unidirectional compression gradually disappear under reverse loading. When the thin film… More >

Abstract Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental determinant of global health. The presence of contaminated water affects the citizens’ health. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are often referred to as forever chemicals. They pose a persistent and growing threat to drinking water. In the literature, machine learning methods are used to identify the forever chemicals in water. However, traditional methods are not efficient and scalable. Thus, to solve this issue.

Abstract Vision Transformers (ViTs) have recently achieved high performance in retinal Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) classification studies. However, ViT models continue to face significant challenges, including high computational cost, vulnerability to adversarial attacks, and pronounced sensitivity to preprocessing techniques. This study introduces GreenShield, a unified framework designed to produce an efficient and robust ViT model, referred to as GreenShield-ViT, which outperforms existing lightweight ViT variants in terms of adversarial robustness for retinal OCT classification. The framework integrates a gradient-based block-importance pruning strategy to compress the ViT/B-16 architecture, and adversarial training with proper ImageNet normalization and anti-saturation… More >

Abstract Current automated lesion segmentation methods have limited success, particularly for segmenting small, irregular, or heterogeneous lesions. Moreover, such models require significant computational power, which restricts their scalability and clinical application. To overcome these limitations, a lightweight LANET, which is a layer-attention network based on an encoder–decoder deep-learning architecture, has the explicit goal of increasing the segmentation performance and computational efficiency. The LANET is coupled with three new modules: (i) an attention module that includes a depthwise separable convolution operator to reduce the number of parameters, (ii) a custom attention mechanism, and (iii) an atrous spatial… More >

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease associated with the accumulation of α-synuclein, which is linked to the dysfunctional ubiquitin–proteasome system. Fractional calculus has emerged as a powerful tool for modeling complex disease dynamics due to its promising features that inherently capture memory and hereditary effects. This paper presents a fractional-order Proteasome-Fibril interaction model (F-PFIM) for the dynamics of PD, represented by three fractional differential classes, showing concentrations of fibrils (F), proteasomes (P), and proteasome fibril complex (C). The three classes of the F-PFIM collectively make a controlling system that works for the clearance… More >
