Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by significant challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Timely and precise ASD detection is crucial, particularly in regions with limited diagnostic resources like Pakistan. This study aims to conduct an extensive comparative analysis of various machine learning classifiers for ASD detection using facial images to identify an accurate and cost-effective solution tailored to the local context. The research involves experimentation with VGG16 and MobileNet models, exploring different batch sizes, optimizers, and learning rate schedulers. In addition, the “Orange” machine learning tool is employed to evaluate classifier performance and automated… More >

Abstract The growing prevalence of fake images on the Internet and social media makes image integrity verification a crucial research topic. One of the most popular methods for manipulating digital images is image splicing, which involves copying a specific area from one image and pasting it into another. Attempts were made to mitigate the effects of image splicing, which continues to be a significant research challenge. This study proposes a new splicing detection model, combining Sonine functions-derived convex-based features and deep features. Two stages make up the proposed method. The first step entails feature extraction, then classification using the “support vector… More >

Abstract Today’s forensic science introduces a new research area for digital image analysis for multimedia security. So, Image authentication issues have been raised due to the wide use of image manipulation software to obtain an illegitimate benefit or create misleading publicity by using tempered images. Exiting forgery detection methods can classify only one of the most widely used Copy-Move and splicing forgeries. However, an image can contain one or more types of forgeries. This study has proposed a hybrid method for classifying Copy-Move and splicing images using texture information of images in the spatial domain. Firstly, images are divided into equal… More >

Abstract Algorithms for steganography are methods of hiding data transfers in media files. Several machine learning architectures have been presented recently to improve stego image identification performance by using spatial information, and these methods have made it feasible to handle a wide range of problems associated with image analysis. Images with little information or low payload are used by information embedding methods, but the goal of all contemporary research is to employ high-payload images for classification. To address the need for both low- and high-payload images, this work provides a machine-learning approach to steganography image classification that uses Curvelet transformation to… More >

Abstract Background: Lung cancer is the most prevalent cancer diagnosis and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Therapeutic failure in lung cancer (LUAD) is heavily influenced by drug resistance. This challenge stems from the diverse cell populations within the tumor, each having unique genetic, epigenetic, and phenotypic profiles. Such variations lead to varied therapeutic responses, thereby contributing to tumor relapse and disease progression. Methods: The Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) database was used in this investigation to obtain the mRNA expression dataset, genomic mutation profile, and drug sensitivity information of NSCLS. Machine Learning (ML) methods, including Random Forest… More >

Abstract Diagnosing gastrointestinal cancer by classical means is a hazardous procedure. Years have witnessed several computerized solutions for stomach disease detection and classification. However, the existing techniques faced challenges, such as irrelevant feature extraction, high similarity among different disease symptoms, and the least-important features from a single source. This paper designed a new deep learning-based architecture based on the fusion of two models, Residual blocks and Auto Encoder. First, the Hyper-Kvasir dataset was employed to evaluate the proposed work. The research selected a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) model and improved it with several residual blocks. This process aims to improve… More >

Abstract Sanxingdui cultural relics are the precious cultural heritage of humanity with high values of history, science, culture, art and research. However, mainstream analytical methods are contacting and detrimental, which is unfavorable to the protection of cultural relics. This paper improves the accuracy of the extraction, location, and analysis of artifacts using hyperspectral methods. To improve the accuracy of cultural relic mining, positioning, and analysis, the segmentation algorithm of Sanxingdui cultural relics based on the spatial spectrum integrated network is proposed with the support of hyperspectral techniques. Firstly, region stitching algorithm based on the relative position of hyper spectrally collected data… More >

Abstract Using hyperspectral data collected in January and June 2022 from the Sha River, the concentrations of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were estimated using the differential method. The results indicate that the optimal bands for estimation vary monthly due to temperature fluctuations. In the TN model, the power function model at 586 nm in January exhibited the strongest fit, yielding a fit coefficient (R²) of 0.95 and F-value of 164.57 at a significance level (p) of less than 0.01. Conversely, the exponential model at 477 nm in June provided the best fit, with R² = 0.93 and F… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The fluid flow and heat transfer in an evaporating extended meniscus are numerically studied. Continuity, momentum, energy equations and the Kelvin-Clapeyron model are used to develop a third order, non-linear ordinary differential equation which governs the evaporating thin film. It is shown that the numerical results strongly depend on the choice of the accommodation coefficient and Hamaker constant as well as the initial perturbations. Therefore, in the absence of experimentally verified values, the numerical solutions should be considered as qualitative at best. It is found that the numerical results produce negative liquid pressures under certain specific conditions. This result may… More >
