Experimental investigation of a dual mode antenna using characteristic mode analysis with enhanced directivity for GSM/5G applications.

In this article, a dual-mode, dual-polarized antenna designed using characteristic mode analysis (CMA) is described. An elliptical-shaped patch radiator is chosen with double slits on its minor axis. This design is based on mode separation from the circular patch into the elliptical patch. The suggested antenna geometry has a footprint of 60 mm × 60 mm × 1.6 mm. To design and fabricate the antenna, an FR-4 substrate with a relative permittivity of 4.3 is used, along with copper sheets 0.035 mm thick for the ground plane and the radiating plane. The circular patch has the resonating mode at 1.8 GHz, whereas the elliptical radiator gives different resonant modes at 1.8 GHz and 3.5 GHz. An orthogonal mode is excited with a 50-Ω coaxial feed line at 3.5 GHz by applying a full-wave approach. The antenna gives a -10dB bandwidth of 51 MHz (1.77-1.82 GHz) centered at 1.8 GHz and a bandwidth of 210 MHz (3.37-3.58 GHz) centered at 3.5 GHz. The working principle is explained through modal analysis and characteristic angles. This dual-band antenna covers a 1.8 GHz GSM band with horizontal polarization and a 3.5 GHz 5G service with vertical polarization. Peak gain attained with these bands is 5.9 dBi and 7.1 dBi, respectively. A CST full-wave simulator is used for the simulations. As a result of the antenna, radiation is stable and enhanced. Compared to measured results, simulation results are close to reality. The characteristic mode analysis (CMA) provides an in-depth look into different operating modes on the antenna in contrast with the conventional method, which relies on the simulated current distribution to verify functionality.

This approach allows an in-depth study of the performance of fins, taking into account various physical parameters that affect its performance. To ensure the accuracy of the obtained solutions, a comparative analysis was performed using guided machine learning. The results were compared with those obtained by conventional methods such as the homotopy perturbation method, the finite difference method, and the Runge-Kutta method. In addition, a thorough statistical analysis was performed to confirm the reliability of the solutions. The results of this study provide valuable information on the behavior and performance of annular fins made from functionally graded materials. These findings contribute to the design and optimization of heat transfer systems, enabling better heat management and efficient use of available space.

The crucial aspect of the medical sector is healthcare in today's modern society. To analyze a massive quantity of medical information, a medical system is necessary to gain additional perspectives and facilitate prediction and diagnosis. This device should be intelligent enough to analyze a patient's state of health through social activities, individual health information, and behavior analysis. The Health Recommendation System (HRS) has become an essential mechanism for medical care. In this sense, efficient healthcare networks are critical for medical decision-making processes. The fundamental purpose is to maintain that sensitive information can be shared only at the right moment while guaranteeing the effectiveness of data, authenticity, security, and legal concerns. As some people use social media to recognize their medical problems, healthcare recommendation systems need to generate findings like diagnosis recommendations, medical insurance, medical passageway-based care strategies, and homeopathic remedies associated with a patient's health status. New studies aimed at the use of vast numbers of health information by integrating multidisciplinary data from various sources are addressed, which also decreases the burden and health care costs. This article presents a recommended intelligent HRS using the deep learning system of the Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM)-Coevolutionary Neural Network (CNN) that provides insights on how data mining techniques could be used to introduce an efficient and effective health recommendation systems engine and highlights the pharmaceutical industry's ability to translate from either a conventional scenario towards a more personalized. We developed our proposed system using TensorFlow and Python. We evaluate the suggested method's performance using distinct error quantities compared to alternative methods using the health care dataset. Furthermore, the suggested approach's accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure were compared with the current methods.

For Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems, the most significant problem is the peak-to-average power ratio. The utilisation of partial transmission sequence, often known as PTS, is an efficient method for reducing PAPR. When it comes to minimizing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Systems, PTS is one of the most effective approaches that may be used. Due to the substantial data load, using peak-to-average power ratio in OFDM is challenging. The most crucial problem with OFDM is achieving better results by lowering PAPR. Provide a PTS in this research that is based on the Chaotic Biogeography Based Optimization (CBBO) algorithm to effectively address the high PAPR issue that exists in Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) waveforms using Hermitian Symmetry property is used. The Hermitian symmetry is utilised in order to acquire a real-valued time-domain signal. Phase rotation factor combinations are carried out in an effective and optimal manner through the utilisation of an innovative combination of optimization techniques. In comparison to conventional optimization techniques, a new hybrid optimization offers quick convergence quality and minimal complexity. When compared to traditional PTS methods such traditional GFDM and OFDM-PTS, experimental results demonstrate that the suggested CBBO-PTS technique significantly improves on minimizing PAPR.

At the same time, the storage of large volumes of data in medical records should be minimized. Recently, several types of research on lossless medically significant data compression and various steganography methods have been conducted. This research develops a hybrid approach with advanced steganography, wavelet transform (WT), and lossless compression to ensure privacy and storage. This research focuses on preserving patient data through enhanced security and optimized storage of large data images that allow a pharmacologist to store twice as much information in the same storage space in an extensive data repository. Safe storage, fast image service, and minimum computing power are the main objectives of this research. This work uses a fast and smooth knight tour (KT) algorithm to embed patient data into medical images and a discrete WT (DWT) to protect shield images. In addition, lossless packet compression is used to minimize memory footprints and maximize memory efficiency. JPEG formats' compression ratio percentages are slightly higher than those of PNG formats. When image size increases, that is, for high-resolution images, the compression ratio lies between 7% and 7.5%, and the compression percentage lies between 30% and 37%. The proposed model increases the expected compression ratio and percentage compared to other models. The average compression ratio lies between 7.8% and 8.6%, and the expected compression ratio lies between 35% and 60%. Compared to state-of-the-art methods, this research results in greater data security without compromising image quality. Reducing images makes them easier to process and allows many images to be saved in archives.

Discrete Fourier Transform with Denoise Model Based Least Square Wiener Channel Estimator for Channel Estimation in MIMO-OFDM.

Multiple-input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems require orthogonal frequency division multiplexing to operate efficiently in multipath communication (OFDM). Channel estimation (C.E.) is used in channel conditions where time-varying features are required. The existing channel estimation techniques are highly complicated. A channel estimation algorithm is needed to estimate the received signal's correctness. In order to resolve this complexity in C.E. methodologies, this paper developed an Improved Channel Estimation Algorithm integrated with DFT-LS-WIENER (ICEA-DA). The Least Square (L.S.) and Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) algorithms also use the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)-based channel estimation method. The DFT-LS-WIENER channel estimation approach is recommended for better BER performance. The input signal is modulated in the transmitter module using the Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) technique, pulse modeling, and least squares concepts. The L.S. Estimation technique needs the channel consistent throughout the estimation period. DFT joined with L.S. gives higher estimation precision and limits M.S.E. and BER. Experimental analysis of the proposed state-of-the-art method shows that DFT-LS-WIENER provides superior performance in terms of symbol error rate (S.E.R.), bit error rate (BER), channel capacity (CC), and peak signal-to-noise (PSNR). At 15 dB SNR, the proposed DFT-LS-WIENER techniques reduce the BER of 48.19%, 38.19%, 14.8%, and 14.03% compared to L.S., LS-DFT, MMSE, and MMSE-DFT. Compared to the conventional algorithm, the proposed DFT-LS-WIENER outperform them.

Wireless Underground Sensor Networks (WUSNs) have been showing prospective supervising application domains in the underground region of the earth through sensing, computation, and communication. This paper presents a novel Deep Learning (DL)-based Cooperative communication channel model for Wireless Underground Sensor Networks for accurate and reliable monitoring in hostile underground locations. Furthermore, the proposed communication model aims at the effective utilization of cluster-based Cooperative models through the relay nodes. However, by keeping the cost effectiveness, reliability, and user-friendliness of wireless underground sensor networks through inter-cluster Cooperative transmission between two cluster heads, the determination of the overall energy performance is also measured. The energy co-operative channel allocation routing (ECCAR), Energy Hierarchical Optimistic Routing (EHOR), Non-Cooperative, and Dynamic Energy Routing (DER) methods were used to figure out how well the proposed WUSN works. The Quality of Service (QoS) parameters such as transmission time, throughput, packet loss, and efficiency were used in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed WUSNs. From the simulation results, it is apparently seen that the proposed system demonstrates some superiority over other methods in terms of its better energy utilization of 89.71%, Packet Delivery ratio of 78.2%, Average Packet Delay of 82.3%, Average Network overhead of 77.4%, data packet throughput of 83.5% and an average system packet loss of 91%.

Impact of Activation, Optimization, and Regularization Methods on the Facial Expression Model Using CNN.

When it comes to conveying sentiments and thoughts, facial expressions are quite effective. For human-computer collaboration, data-driven animation, and communication between humans and robots to be successful, the capacity to recognize emotional states in facial expressions must be developed and implemented. Recently published studies have found that deep learning is becoming increasingly popular in the field of image categorization. As a result, to resolve the problem of facial expression recognition (FER) using convolutional neural networks (CNN), increasingly substantial efforts have been made in recent years. Facial expressions may be acquired from databases like CK+ and JAFFE using this novel FER technique based on activations, optimizations, and regularization parameters. The model recognized emotions such as happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, anger, disgust, and neutrality. The performance of the model was evaluated using a variety of methodologies, including activation, optimization, and regularization, as well as other hyperparameters, as detailed in this study. In experiments, the FER technique may be used to recognize emotions with an Adam, Softmax, and Dropout Ratio of 0.1 to 0.2 when combined with other techniques. It also outperforms current FER techniques that rely on handcrafted features and only one channel, as well as has superior network performance compared to the present state-of-the-art techniques.

A Classification Algorithm-Based Hybrid Diabetes Prediction Model.

Diabetes is considered to be one of the leading causes of death globally. If diabetes is not treated and detected early, it can lead to a variety of complications. The aim of this study was to develop a model that can accurately predict the likelihood of developing diabetes in patients with the greatest amount of precision. Classification algorithms are widely used in the medical field to classify data into different categories based on some criteria that are relatively restrictive to the individual classifier, Therefore, four machine learning classification algorithms, namely supervised learning algorithms (Random forest, SVM and Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree DT) and unsupervised learning algorithm (k-means), have been a technique that was utilized in this investigation to identify diabetes in its early stages. The experiments are per-formed on two databases, one extracted from the Frankfurt Hospital in Germany and the other from the database. PIMA Indian Diabetes (PIDD) provided by the UCI machine learning repository. The results obtained from the database extracted from Frankfurt Hospital, Germany, showed that the random forest algorithm outperformed with the highest accuracy of 97.6%, and the results obtained from the Pima Indian database showed that the SVM algorithm outperformed with the highest accuracy of 83.1% compared to other algorithms. The validity of these results is confirmed by the process of separating the data set into two parts: a training set and a test set, which is described below. The training set is used to develop the model's capabilities. The test set is used to put the model through its paces and determine its correctness.

Chaotic Search-and-Rescue-Optimization-Based Multi-Hop Data Transmission Protocol for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks.

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) have applications in several fields, such as disaster management, underwater navigation, and environment monitoring. Since the nodes in UWSNs are restricted to inbuilt batteries, the effective utilization of available energy becomes essential. Clustering and routing approaches can be employed as energy-efficient solutions for UWSNs. However, the cluster-based routing techniques developed for conventional wireless networks cannot be employed for a UWSN because of the low bandwidth, spread stay, underwater current, and error probability. To resolve these issues, this article introduces a novel chaotic search-and-rescue-optimization-based multi-hop data transmission (CSRO-MHDT) protocol for UWSNs. When using the CSRO-MHDT technique, cluster headers (CHs) are selected and clusters are prearranged, rendering a range of features, including remaining energy, intracluster distance, and intercluster detachment. Additionally, the chaotic search and rescue optimization (CSRO) algorithm is discussed, which is created by incorporating chaotic notions into the classic search and rescue optimization (SRO) algorithm. In addition, the CSRO-MHDT approach calculates a fitness function that takes residual energy, distance, and node degree into account, among other factors. A distinctive aspect of the paper is demonstrated by the development of the CSRO algorithm for route optimization, which was developed in-house. To validate the success of the CSRO-MHDT method, a sequence of tests were carried out, and the results showed the CSRO-MHDT method to have a packet delivery ratio (PDR) of 88%, whereas the energy-efficient clustering routing protocol (EECRP), the fuzzy C-means and moth-flame optimization (FCMMFO), the fuzzy scheme and particle swarm optimization (FBCPSO), the energy-efficient grid routing based on 3D cubes (EGRC), and the low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy based on expected residual energy (LEACH-ERE) methods have reached lesser PDRs of 83%, 81%, 78%, 77%, and 75%, respectively, for 1000 rounds. The CSRO-MHDT technique resulted in higher values of number of packets received (NPR) under all rounds. For instance, with 50 rounds, the CSRO-MHDT technique attained a higher NPR of 3792%.

Early-Stage Alzheimer's Disease Prediction Using Machine Learning Models.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in older adults. There is currently a lot of interest in applying machine learning to find out metabolic diseases like Alzheimer's and Diabetes that affect a large population of people around the world. Their incidence rates are increasing at an alarming rate every year. In Alzheimer's disease, the brain is affected by neurodegenerative changes. As our aging population increases, more and more individuals, their families, and healthcare will experience diseases that affect memory and functioning. These effects will be profound on the social, financial, and economic fronts. In its early stages, Alzheimer's disease is hard to predict. A treatment given at an early stage of AD is more effective, and it causes fewer minor damage than a treatment done at a later stage. Several techniques such as Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Gradient Boosting, and Voting classifiers have been employed to identify the best parameters for Alzheimer's disease prediction. Predictions of Alzheimer's disease are based on Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) data, and performance is measured with parameters like Precision, Recall, Accuracy, and F1-score for ML models. The proposed classification scheme can be used by clinicians to make diagnoses of these diseases. It is highly beneficial to lower annual mortality rates of Alzheimer's disease in early diagnosis with these ML algorithms. The proposed work shows better results with the best validation average accuracy of 83% on the test data of AD. This test accuracy score is significantly higher in comparison with existing works.

Improved Metaheuristics-Based Clustering with Multihop Routing Protocol for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks.

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) comprise numerous underwater wireless sensor nodes dispersed in the marine environment, which find applicability in several areas like data collection, navigation, resource investigation, surveillance, and disaster prediction. Because of the usage of restricted battery capacity and the difficulty in replacing or charging the inbuilt batteries, energy efficiency becomes a challenging issue in the design of UWSN. Earlier studies reported that clustering and routing are considered effective ways of attaining energy efficacy in the UWSN. Clustering and routing processes can be treated as nondeterministic polynomial-time (NP) hard optimization problems, and they can be addressed by the use of metaheuristics. This study introduces an improved metaheuristics-based clustering with multihop routing protocol for underwater wireless sensor networks, named the IMCMR-UWSN technique. The major aim of the IMCMR-UWSN technique is to choose cluster heads (CHs) and optimal routes to a destination. The IMCMR-UWSN technique incorporates two major processes, namely the chaotic krill head algorithm (CKHA)-based clustering and self-adaptive glow worm swarm optimization algorithm (SA-GSO)-based multihop routing. The CKHA technique selects CHs and organizes clusters based on different parameters such as residual energy, intra-cluster distance, and inter-cluster distance. Similarly, the SA-GSO algorithm derives a fitness function involving four parameters, namely residual energy, delay, distance, and trust. Utilization of the IMCMR-UWSN technique helps to significantly boost the energy efficiency and lifetime of the UWSN. To ensure the improved performance of the IMCMR-UWSN technique, a series of simulations were carried out, and the comparative results reported the supremacy of the IMCMR-UWSN technique in terms of different measures.

An Efficient Metaheuristic-Based Clustering with Routing Protocol for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks.

In recent years, the underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) has received a significant interest among research communities for several applications, such as disaster management, water quality prediction, environmental observance, underwater navigation, etc. The UWSN comprises a massive number of sensors placed in rivers and oceans for observing the underwater environment. However, the underwater sensors are restricted to energy and it is tedious to recharge/replace batteries, resulting in energy efficiency being a major challenge. Clustering and multi-hop routing protocols are considered energy-efficient solutions for UWSN. However, the cluster-based routing protocols for traditional wireless networks could not be feasible for UWSN owing to the underwater current, low bandwidth, high water pressure, propagation delay, and error probability. To resolve these issues and achieve energy efficiency in UWSN, this study focuses on designing the metaheuristics-based clustering with a routing protocol for UWSN, named MCR-UWSN. The goal of the MCR-UWSN technique is to elect an efficient set of cluster heads (CHs) and route to destination. The MCR-UWSN technique involves the designing of cultural emperor penguin optimizer-based clustering (CEPOC) techniques to construct clusters. Besides, the multi-hop routing technique, alongside the grasshopper optimization (MHR-GOA) technique, is derived using multiple input parameters. The performance of the MCR-UWSN technique was validated, and the results are inspected in terms of different measures. The experimental results highlighted an enhanced performance of the MCR-UWSN technique over the recent state-of-art techniques.

In recent times, big data classification has become a hot research topic in various domains, such as healthcare, e-commerce, finance, etc. The inclusion of the feature selection process helps to improve the big data classification process and can be done by the use of metaheuristic optimization algorithms. This study focuses on the design of a big data classification model using chaotic pigeon inspired optimization (CPIO)-based feature selection with an optimal deep belief network (DBN) model. The proposed model is executed in the Hadoop MapReduce environment to manage big data. Initially, the CPIO algorithm is applied to select a useful subset of features. In addition, the Harris hawks optimization (HHO)-based DBN model is derived as a classifier to allocate appropriate class labels. The design of the HHO algorithm to tune the hyperparameters of the DBN model assists in boosting the classification performance. To examine the superiority of the presented technique, a series of simulations were performed, and the results were inspected under various dimensions. The resultant values highlighted the supremacy of the presented technique over the recent techniques.
