    Rakesh Kumar1,*, Ajay Singh2, Ahmed Subahi Ahmed Kassar3, Mohammed Ismail Humaida3, Sudhanshu Joshi4, Manu Sharma5

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.142, No.2, pp. 1289-1349, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.059152 - 27 January 2025

    Abstract This review aims to analyze the development and impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of Saudi Arabia’s public healthcare system to fulfill Vision 2030 objectives. It is extensively devoted to AI technology deployment relevant to disease management, healthcare delivery, epidemiology, and policy-making. However, its AI is culturally sensitive and ethically grounded in Islam. Based on the PRISMA framework, an SLR evaluated primary academic literature, cases, and practices of Saudi Arabia’s AI implementation in the public healthcare sector. Instead, it categorizes prior research based on how AI can work, the issues it poses, and… More >

    Abstract The proposed study focuses on the critical issue of corrosion, which leads to significant economic losses and safety risks worldwide. A key area of emphasis is the accuracy of corrosion detection methods. While recent studies have made progress, a common challenge is the low accuracy of existing detection models. These models often struggle to reliably identify corrosion tendencies, which are crucial for minimizing industrial risks and optimizing resource use. The proposed study introduces an innovative approach that significantly improves the accuracy of corrosion detection using a convolutional neural network (CNN), as well as two pretrained… More >

    Machine Learning Enabled Novel Real-Time IoT Targeted DoS/DDoS Cyber Attack Detection System

    Abdullah Alabdulatif1, Navod Neranjan Thilakarathne2,*, Mohamed Aashiq3,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.3, pp. 3655-3683, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.054610 - 12 September 2024

    Abstract The increasing prevalence of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has introduced a new phase of connectivity in recent years and, concurrently, has opened the floodgates for growing cyber threats. Among the myriad of potential attacks, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks remain a dominant concern due to their capability to render services inoperable by overwhelming systems with an influx of traffic. As IoT devices often lack the inherent security measures found in more mature computing platforms, the need for robust DoS/DDoS detection systems tailored to IoT is paramount for… More >

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.7, pp. 1237-1290, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.051201 - 21 August 2024

    Abstract Natural fibre (NFR) reinforced functional polymer composites are quickly becoming an indispensable sustainable material in the transportation industry because of their lightweight, lower cost in manufacture, and adaptability to a wide variety of goods. However, the major difficulties of using these fibres are their existing poor dimensional stability and the extreme hydrophilicity. In assessing the mechanical properties (MP) of composites, the interfacial bonding (IB) happening between the NFR and the polymer matrix (PM) plays an incredibly significant role. When compared to NFR/synthetic fibre hybrid composites, hybrid composites (HC) made up of two separate NFR are… More > Graphic Abstract

    Pioneering Micro-Scale Mapping of Urban CO Emissions from Fossil Fuels with GIS

    Loghman Khodakarami*

    Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.33, pp. 221-246, 2024, DOI:10.32604/rig.2024.050908 - 15 July 2024

    Abstract Urban areas globally are escalating contributors to carbon dioxide (CO) emissions, challenging sustainable development. This study proposes a novel micro-scale approach utilizing GIS to quantify CO emission spatial distribution, enhancing urban sustainability assessment. Employing a “bottom-up” methodology, emissions were calculated for various sources, revealing Isfahan’s urban area emits 13,855,525 tons of CO annually. Major contributors include stationary and mobile sources such as power plants (50.61%), road and rail transport (17.18%), and residential sectors (21.78%). Spatial distribution mapping showed that 81.68% of CO emissions originate from stationary sources, notably power plants. Furthermore, mobile sources, including road More >
