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.

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 >

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 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. We noted that the presented work combines and generalizes two More >

Abstract In this study, a machine learning-based predictive model was developed for the Musa petti Wind Farm in Sri Lanka to address the need for localized forecasting solutions. Using data on wind speed, air temperature, nacelle position, and actual power, lagged features were generated to capture temporal dependencies. Among 24 evaluated models, the ensemble bagging approach achieved the best performance, with R2 values of 0.89 at 0 min and 0.75 at 60 min. Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis revealed that while wind speed is the primary driver for short-term predictions, air temperature and nacelle position become more More >

Abstract The reliability and efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems are essential for sustainable energy production, requiring accurate fault detection to minimize energy losses. 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. The performance of the proposed NCA-CNN model was evaluated against other More >

Abstract To date, many previous studies have been proposed for driver authentication; however, these solutions have many shortcomings and are still far from practical for real-world applications. In this paper, we tackle the shortcomings of the existing solutions and reach toward proposing a lightweight and practical authentication system, dubbed DriveMe, for identifying drivers on cars. Our novelty aspects are ① Lightweight scheme that depends only on a single sensor data (i.e., pressure readings) attached to the driver’s seat and belt. ② Practical evaluation in which one-class authentication models are trained from only the owner users and tested using… More >

Abstract This study proposes an efficient traffic classification model to address the growing threat of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks in 5th generation technology standard (5G) slicing networks. The proposed method utilizes an ensemble of encoder components from multiple autoencoders to compress and extract latent representations from high-dimensional traffic data. These representations are then used as input for a support vector machine (SVM)-based metadata classifier, enabling precise detection of attack traffic. This architecture is designed to achieve both high detection accuracy and training efficiency, while adapting flexibly to the diverse service requirements and complexity of 5G network… More >

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 >

Abstract The potential applications of multimodal physiological signals in healthcare, pain monitoring, and clinical decision support systems have garnered significant attention in biomedical research. Subjective self-reporting is the foundation of conventional pain assessment methods, which may be unreliable. Deep learning is a promising alternative to resolve this limitation through automated pain classification. This paper proposes an ensemble deep-learning framework for pain assessment. The framework makes use of features collected from electromyography (EMG), skin conductance level (SCL), and electrocardiography (ECG) signals.

Abstract For the solution of peridynamic equations of motion, a meshless approach is typically used instead of utilizing semi-analytical or mesh-based approaches. 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 >
