Abstract Smoking has an economic and environmental impact on society due to the toxic substances it emits. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) need help describing low-level features and can miss important information. Moreover, accurate smoker detection is vital with minimum false alarms. To answer the issue, the researchers of this paper have turned to a self-attention mechanism inspired by the ViT, which has displayed state-of-the-art performance in the classification task. To effectively enforce the smoking prohibition in non-smoking locations, this work presents a Vision Transformer-inspired model called SmokerViT for detecting smokers. Moreover, this research utilizes a locally… More >

Abstract Mosquitoes are of great concern for occasionally carrying noxious diseases (dengue, malaria, zika, and yellow fever). To control mosquitoes, it is very crucial to effectively monitor their behavioral trends and presence. Traditional mosquito repellent works by heating small pads soaked in repellant, which then diffuses a protected area around you, a great alternative to spraying yourself with insecticide. But they have limitations, including the range, turning them on manually, and then waiting for the protection to kick in when the mosquitoes may find you. This research aims to design a fuzzy-based controller to solve the… More >

Abstract Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) have the major problem of message delay in the network due to a lack of end-to-end connectivity between the nodes, especially when the nodes are mobile. The nodes in DTNs have limited buffer storage for storing delayed messages. This instantaneous sharing of data creates a low buffer/shortage problem. Consequently, buffer congestion would occur and there would be no more space available in the buffer for the upcoming messages. To address this problem a buffer management policy is proposed named “A Novel and Proficient Buffer Management Technique (NPBMT) for the Internet of… More >

Abstract In recent years, many visual positioning algorithms have been proposed based on computer vision and they have achieved good results. However, these algorithms have a single function, cannot perceive the environment, and have poor versatility, and there is a certain mismatch phenomenon, which affects the positioning accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes a location algorithm that combines a target recognition algorithm with a depth feature matching algorithm to solve the problem of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) environment perception and multi-modal image-matching fusion location. This algorithm was based on the single-shot object detector based on multi-level feature… More >

Abstract As energy-related problems continue to emerge, the need for stable energy supplies and issues regarding both environmental and safety require urgent consideration. Renewable energy is becoming increasingly important, with solar power accounting for the most significant proportion of renewables. As the scale and importance of solar energy have increased, cyber threats against solar power plants have also increased. So, we need an anomaly detection system that effectively detects cyber threats to solar power plants. However, as mentioned earlier, the existing solar power plant anomaly detection system monitors only operating information such as power generation, making… More >

Abstract Despite the extensive effort to improve intelligent educational tools for smart learning environments, automatic Arabic essay scoring remains a big research challenge. The nature of the writing style of the Arabic language makes the problem even more complicated. This study designs, implements, and evaluates an automatic Arabic essay scoring system. The proposed system starts with pre-processing the student answer and model answer dataset using data cleaning and natural language processing tasks. Then, it comprises two main components: the grading engine and the adaptive fusion engine. The grading engine employs string-based and corpus-based similarity algorithms separately.… More >

Abstract Unchecked breast cell growth is one of the leading causes of death in women globally and is the cause of breast cancer. The only method to avoid breast cancer-related deaths is through early detection and treatment. The proper classification of malignancies is one of the most significant challenges in the medical industry. Due to their high precision and accuracy, machine learning techniques are extensively employed for identifying and classifying various forms of cancer. Several data mining algorithms were studied and implemented by the author of this review and compared them to the present parameters and… More >

Abstract Recent architectures of multi-core systems may have a relatively large number of cores that typically ranges from tens to hundreds; therefore called many-core systems. Such systems require an efficient interconnection network that tries to address two major problems. First, the overhead of power and area cost and its effect on scalability. Second, high access latency is caused by multiple cores’ simultaneous accesses of the same shared module. This paper presents an interconnection scheme called N-conjugate Shuffle Clusters (NCSC) based on multi-core multi-cluster architecture to reduce the overhead of the just mentioned problems. NCSC eliminated the… More >

Abstract The overgrowth of weeds growing along with the primary crop in the fields reduces crop production. Conventional solutions like hand weeding are labor-intensive, costly, and time-consuming; farmers have used herbicides. The application of herbicide is effective but causes environmental and health concerns. Hence, Precision Agriculture (PA) suggests the variable spraying of herbicides so that herbicide chemicals do not affect the primary plants. Motivated by the gap above, we proposed a Deep Learning (DL) based model for detecting Eggplant (Brinjal) weed in this paper. The key objective of this study is to detect plant and non-plant… More >
