Abstract The rapid growth of the automotive industry has raised significant concerns about the security of connected vehicles and their integrated supply chains, which are increasingly vulnerable to advanced cyber threats. Traditional authentication methods have proven insufficient, exposing systems to risks such as Sybil, Denial of Service (DoS), and Eclipse attacks. This study critically examines the limitations of current security protocols, focusing on authentication and data exchange vulnerabilities, and explores blockchain technology as a potential solution. Blockchain’s decentralized and cryptographically secure framework can significantly enhance Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication, ensure data integrity, and enable transparent, immutable transactions More >

Abstract Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), characterized by its lack of traditional hormone receptors and HER2, presents a significant challenge in oncology due to its poor response to conventional therapies. Autophagy is an important process for maintaining cellular homeostasis, and there are currently autophagy biomarkers that play an effective role in the clinical treatment of tumors. In contrast to targeting protein activity, intervention with protein-protein interaction (PPI) can avoid unrelated crosstalk and regulate the autophagy process with minimal interference pathways. Methods: Here, we employed Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, and k-Nearest Neighbors to elucidate the complex PPI… More >

Abstract COVID-19 pandemic restrictions limited all social activities to curtail the spread of the virus. The foremost and most prime sector among those affected were schools, colleges, and universities. The education system of entire nations had shifted to online education during this time. Many shortcomings of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) were detected to support education in an online mode that spawned the research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) based tools that are being developed by the research community to improve the effectiveness of LMSs. This paper presents a detailed survey of the different enhancements to LMSs, which… More >

Abstract Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are integral to various aspects of modern life, enhancing work efficiency. Nonetheless, their susceptibility to diverse attack methods, including backdoor attacks, raises security concerns. We aim to investigate backdoor attack methods for image categorization tasks, to promote the development of DNN towards higher security. Research on backdoor attacks currently faces significant challenges due to the distinct and abnormal data patterns of malicious samples, and the meticulous data screening by developers, hindering practical attack implementation. To overcome these challenges, this study proposes a Gaussian Noise-Targeted Universal Adversarial Perturbation (GN-TUAP) algorithm. This approach… More >

Abstract Traffic in today’s cities is a serious problem that increases travel times, negatively affects the environment, and drains financial resources. This study presents an Artificial Intelligence (AI) augmented Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) based real-time prediction paradigm for urban traffic challenges. MANETs are wireless networks that are based on mobile devices and may self-organize. The distributed nature of MANETs and the power of AI approaches are leveraged in this framework to provide reliable and timely traffic congestion forecasts. This study suggests a unique Chaotic Spatial Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Network (CSFPNN) technique to assess real-time data… More >

Abstract Technological advances in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) pursued by artificial intelligence (AI) are improving remote sensing applications in smart agriculture. These are valuable tools for monitoring and disease identification of plants as they can collect data with no damage and effects on plants. However, their limited carrying and battery capacities restrict their performance in larger areas. Therefore, using multiple UAVs, especially in the form of a swarm is more significant for monitoring larger areas such as crop fields and forests. The diversity of research studies necessitates a literature review for more progress and contribution in… More >

Abstract In this paper, the application of transportation systems in real-time traffic conditions is evaluated with data handling representations. The proposed method is designed in such a way as to detect the number of loads that are present in a vehicle where functionality tasks are computed in the system. Compared to the existing approach, the design model in the proposed method is made by dividing the computing areas into several cluster regions, thereby reducing the complex monitoring system where control errors are minimized. Furthermore, a route management technique is combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to More >

Abstract In the quest to minimize energy waste, the energy performance of buildings (EPB) has been a focus because building appliances, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, consume the highest energy. Therefore, effective design and planning for estimating heating load (HL) and cooling load (CL) for energy saving have become paramount. In this vein, efforts have been made to predict the HL and CL using a univariate approach. However, this approach necessitates two models for learning HL and CL, requiring more computational time. Moreover, the one-dimensional (1D) convolutional neural network (CNN) has gained popularity due… More >
