Abstract Non-technical losses (NTL) of electric power are a serious problem for electric distribution companies. The solution determines the cost, stability, reliability, and quality of the supplied electricity. The widespread use of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and Smart Grid allows all participants in the distribution grid to store and track electricity consumption. During the research, a machine learning model is developed that allows analyzing and predicting the probability of NTL for each consumer of the distribution grid based on daily electricity consumption readings.

Abstract Most reliability studies assume large samples or independence among components, but these assumptions often fail in practice, leading to imprecise inference. We address this issue by constructing confidence intervals (CIs) for the reliability of two-component systems with Weibull distributed failure times under a copula-frailty framework. Our construction integrates gamma-distributed frailties to capture unobserved heterogeneity and a copula-based dependence structure for correlated failures. The main contribution of this work is to derive adjusted CIs that explicitly incorporate the copula parameter in the variance-covariance matrix, achieving near-nominal coverage probabilities even in small samples or highly dependent settings.

Abstract An optimal fuzzy tracking synthesis for nonlinear discrete-time descriptor systems is discussed through the Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC) approach and the Proportional-Difference (P-D) feedback framework. Based on the Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Descriptor Model (T-SFDM), a nonlinear discrete-time descriptor system is represented as several linear fuzzy subsystems, which facilitates the linear P-D feedback technique and streamlines the fuzzy controller design process. Leveraging the P-D feedback fuzzy controller, the closed-loop T-SFDM can be transformed into a standard system that guarantees non-impulsiveness and causality for the nonlinear discrete-time descriptor system. In view of the disturbance problems, a passive performance… More >

Next, an adaptive fish swarm optimization technique is employed to identify a sub-optimal solution, while a momentum gradient descent method with learning rate decay ensures the convergence to the global optimal solution.

Abstract Medical image segmentation, i.e., labeling structures of interest in medical images, is crucial for disease diagnosis and treatment in radiology. In reversible data hiding in medical images (RDHMI), segmentation consists of only two regions: the focal and nonfocal regions. The focal region mainly contains information for diagnosis, while the nonfocal region serves as the monochrome background. The current traditional segmentation methods utilized in RDHMI are inaccurate for complex medical images, and manual segmentation is time-consuming, poorly reproducible, and operator-dependent. Implementing state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) models will facilitate key benefits, but the lack of domain-specific labels… More >

Abstract Internet of things networks often suffer from early node failures and short lifespan due to energy limits. Traditional routing methods are not enough. This work proposes a new hybrid algorithm called ACOGA. It combines Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and the Greedy Algorithm (GA). ACO finds smart paths while Greedy makes quick decisions. This improves energy use and performance. ACOGA outperforms Hybrid Energy-Efficient (HEE) and Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) algorithms. After 500 rounds, only 5% of ACOGA’s nodes are dead, compared to 15% for HEE and 20% for ALDC. The network using ACOGA runs for More >

We enhance this discretization with Roe’s approximate Riemann solver, we identify its dissipative terms, and in these terms, we use slope-limited linear reconstruction. All gradients needed for our method are calculated with linearly reproducing kernels that are constructed to enforce the two lowest-order consistency relations. We scrutinize our reproducing kernel implementation carefully on a “glass-like” particle distribution, and we find that constant and linear functions are recovered to machine precision.

Abstract Ensuring information security in the quantum era is a growing challenge due to advancements in cryptographic attacks and the emergence of quantum computing. To address these concerns, this paper presents the mathematical and computer modeling of a novel two-dimensional (2D) chaotic system for secure key generation in quantum image encryption (QIE). The proposed map employs trigonometric perturbations in conjunction with rational-saturation functions and hence, named as Trigonometric-Rational-Saturation (TRS) map. Through rigorous mathematical analysis and computational simulations, the map is extensively evaluated for bifurcation behaviour, chaotic trajectories, and Lyapunov exponents.

Abstract The increased accessibility of social networking services (SNSs) has facilitated communication and information sharing among users. However, it has also heightened concerns about digital safety, particularly for children and adolescents who are increasingly exposed to online grooming crimes. Early and accurate identification of grooming conversations is crucial in preventing long-term harm to victims. However, research on grooming detection in South Korea remains limited, as existing models trained primarily on English text and fail to reflect the unique linguistic features of SNS conversations, leading to inaccurate classifications. To address these issues, this study proposes a novel… More >

Abstract Cyberbullying on social media poses significant psychological risks, yet most detection systems oversimplify the task by focusing on binary classification, ignoring nuanced categories like passive-aggressive remarks or indirect slurs. To address this gap, we propose a hybrid framework combining Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), word-to-vector (Word2Vec), and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) based models for multi-class cyberbullying detection. Our approach integrates TF-IDF for lexical specificity and Word2Vec for semantic relationships, fused with BERT’s contextual embeddings to capture syntactic and semantic complexities. We evaluate the framework on a publicly available dataset of 47,000 annotated social… More >

Abstract Being a nonlinear operator, fractional derivatives can affect the enforcement of existence at any given time. As a result, the memory effect has an impact on all nonlinear processes modeled by fractional order differential equations (FODEs). The goal of this study is to increase the fractional model of the TB virus’s (FMTBV) accuracy. Stochastic solvers have never been used to solve FMTBV previously. The Bayesian regularized artificial (BRA) method and neural networks (NNs), often referred to as BRA-NNs, were used to solve the FMTBV model.

Abstract With the increasing complexity of hotel selection, traditional decision-making models often struggle to account for uncertainty and interrelated criteria. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques, particularly those based on fuzzy logic, provide a robust framework for handling such challenges. This paper presents a novel approach to MCDM within the framework of Circular Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (C-IFS) by combining three distinct methodologies: Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS), an Alternative Ranking Order Method Accounting for Two-Step Normalization (AROMAN), and the CRITIC method (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation). To address the dynamic nature of traveler preferences in hotel selection,… More >

Abstract This study introduces a novel distance measure (DM) for spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs) to improve decision-making in complex and uncertain environments. Many existing distance measures either fail to satisfy essential axiomatic properties or produce unintuitive outcomes. To address these limitations, we propose a new three-dimensional divergence-based DM that ensures mathematical consistency, enhances the discrimination of information, and adheres to the axiomatic framework of distance theory. Building on this foundation, we construct a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model that utilizes the proposed DM to evaluate and rank alternatives effectively. The applicability and robustness of the model are More >

Abstract In this manuscript, the notion of a hesitant fuzzy soft fixed point is introduced. Using this notion and the concept of Suzuki-type ()-weak contraction for hesitant fuzzy soft set valued-mapping, some fixed point results are established in the framework of metric spaces. Based on the presented work, some examples reflecting decision-making problems related to real life are also solved. The suggested method’s flexibility and efficacy compared to conventional techniques are demonstrated in decision-making situations involving uncertainty, such as choosing the best options in multi-criteria settings.

This study proposes a hybrid model integrating Neighborhood Components Analysis (NCA) with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to improve fault detection and diagnosis. Unlike Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which may compromise class relationships during feature extraction, NCA preserves these relationships, enhancing classification performance. The hybrid model combines NCA with CNN, a fundamental deep learning architecture, to enhance fault detection and diagnosis capabilities.

Abstract Federated Learning (FL), a practical solution that leverages distributed data across devices without the need for centralized data storage, which enables multiple participants to jointly train models while preserving data privacy and avoiding direct data sharing. Despite its privacy-preserving advantages, FL remains vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where malicious participants introduce backdoors into local models that are then propagated to the global model through the aggregation process. While existing differential privacy defenses have demonstrated effectiveness against backdoor attacks in FL, they often incur a significant degradation in the performance of the aggregated models on benign tasks.… More >

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tremors, rigidity, and decreased movement. PD poses risks to individuals’ lives and independence. Early detection of PD is essential because it allows timely intervention, which can slow disease progression and improve outcomes. Manual diagnosis of PD is problematic because it is difficult to capture the subtle patterns and changes that help diagnose PD. In addition, the subjectivity and lack of doctors compared to the number of patients constitute an obstacle to early diagnosis. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, especially deep and automated learning models, provide promising… More >

In contrast, the literature has limited analytical solutions. This study develops a novel analytical solution for one-dimensional peridynamic models, considering the effect of damping. After demonstrating the details of the analytical solution, various demonstration problems are presented. First, the free vibration of a damped system is considered for under-damped and critically damped conditions. Peridynamic solutions and results from the classical theory are compared against each other, and excellent agreement is observed between the two More >
