Abstract The growing intersection of gynecological cancer diagnosis and cybersecurity vulnerabilities in healthcare necessitates integrated solutions that address both diagnostic accuracy and data protection. With increasing reliance on IoT-enabled medical devices, digital twins, and interconnected healthcare systems, the risk of cyber-physical attacks has escalated significantly. Traditional approaches to machine learning (ML)–based diagnosis often lack real-time threat adaptability and privacy preservation, while cybersecurity frameworks fall short in maintaining clinical relevance. This study introduces HealthSecureNet, a novel Cyber-Integrated Predictive Framework designed to detect gynecological cancer and mitigate cybersecurity threats in real time simultaneously. The proposed model employs a… More >

Abstract A Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack poses a significant challenge in the digital age, disrupting online services with operational and financial consequences. Detecting such attacks requires innovative and effective solutions. The primary challenge lies in selecting the best among several DDoS detection models. This study presents a framework that combines several DDoS detection models and Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques to compare and select the most effective models. The framework integrates a decision matrix from training several models on the CiC-DDOS2019 dataset with Fuzzy Weighted Zero Inconsistency Criterion (FWZIC) and Multi-Attribute Boundary Approximation Area Comparison (MABAC) methodologies.… More >

Abstract The rapid urbanization of rural areas often leads to the construction of medium to high-rise buildings without adequate knowledge of ground suitability, posing significant risks to structural safety and long-term development. This study addresses this critical issue by developing a Comprehensive Ground Suitability Index (CGSI) framework tailored for rural municipalities. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the CGSI integrates geophysical, geo-environmental, and geohazard parameters to systematically evaluate land suitability for construction. Data were collected from government agencies, previous studies, and field surveys focusing on the Municipality of Odiongan, Romblon. Parameters… More >

Abstract This research focuses on developing innovative hybrid solar dryers that combine solar Photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal systems for sustainable food preservation in Pakistan, addressing the country’s pressing issues of high post-harvest losses and unreliable energy sources. The proposed active hybrid solar dryer features a drying cabinet, two Direct Current (DC) fans for forced convection, and a resistive heating element powered by a 180 W solar PV panel. An energy-storing battery ensures continuous supply to the auxiliaries during periods of low solar irradiance, poor weather conditions, or nighttime. Tomatoes, a delicate and in-demand crop, were… More >

Abstract The effect of gradient exhaust strategy and blind plate installation on the inhibition of backflow and thermal stratification in data center cabinets is systematically investigated in this study through numerical methods. The validated Re-Normalization Group (RNG) k-ε turbulence model was used to analyze airflow patterns within cabinet structures equipped with backplane air conditioning. Key findings reveal that server-generated thermal plumes induce hot air accumulation at the cabinet apex, creating a 0.8°C temperature elevation at the top server’s inlet compared to the ideal situation (23°C). Strategic increases in backplane fan exhaust airflow rates reduce server 1’s inlet… More >

Abstract This paper investigates the application of Direct Current Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (DC-APS) as a versatile thermal spray technique for the application of coatings with tailored properties to various substrates. The process uses a high-speed, high-temperature plasma jet to melt and propel the feedstock powder particles, making it particularly useful for improving the performance and durability of components in renewable energy systems such as solar cells, wind turbines, and fuel cells. The integration of nanostructured alumina (Al₂O₃) thin films into multilayer coatings is considered a promising advancement that improves mechanical strength, thermal stability, and environmental resistance.

Abstract To improve the heat transfer rate and thermal performance of the solar air heater due to low efficiency, new techniques, such as artificial roughness, barriers, and obstacles, should be used to increase the heat exchange between the fluid and the absorber. In this research, perforated V-shaped blockages with new geometric shapes, which are circular, hexagonal, square, rectangular, and triangular, were used. They were fixed on the absorber plate inside the channel with dimensions of 1.5 m × 0.5 m × 0.05 m, which increased the exit temperature of the air passing through the channel. The… More >
