In the contemporary world of highly efficient technological development, fifth-generation technology (5G) is seen as a vital step forward with theoretical maximum download speeds of up to twenty gigabits per second (Gbps). As far as the current implementations are concerned, they are at the level of slightly below 1 Gbps, but this allowed a great leap forward from fourth generation technology (4G), as well as enabling significantly reduced latency, making 5G an absolute necessity for applications such as gaming, virtual conferencing, and other interactive electronic processes. Prospects of this change are not limited to connectivity alone; it urges operators to refine their business strategies and offers users better and improved digital solutions. An essential factor is optimization and the application of artificial intelligence throughout the general arrangement of intricate and detailed 5G lines. Integrating Binary Greylag Goose Optimization (bGGO) to achieve a significant reduction in the feature set while maintaining or improving model performance, leading to more efficient and effective 5G network management, and Greylag Goose Optimization (GGO) increases the efficiency of the machine learning models. Thus, the model performs and yields more accurate results. This work proposes a new method to schedule the resources in the next generation, 5G, based on a feature selection using GGO and a regression model that is an ensemble of K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Gradient Boosting, and Extra Trees algorithms. The ensemble model shows better prediction performance with the coefficient of determination R squared value equal to. 99348. The proposed framework is supported by several Statistical analyses, such as the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Some of the benefits of this study are the introduction of new efficient optimization algorithms, the selection of features and more reliable ensemble models which improve the efficiency of 5G technology.

The networks of wireless sensors provide the ground for a range of applications, including environmental monitoring and industrial operations. Ensuring the networks can overcome obstacles like power and communication reliability and sensor coverage is the crux of network optimization. Network infrastructure planning should be focused on increasing performance, and it should be affected by the detailed data about node distribution. This work recommends the creation of each sensor's specs and radius of influence based on a particular geographical location, which will contribute to better network planning and design. By using the ARIMA model for time series forecasting and the Al-Biruni Earth Radius algorithm for optimization, our approach bridges the gap between successive terrains while seeking the equilibrium between exploration and exploitation. Through implementing adaptive protocols according to varying environments and sensor constraints, our study aspires to improve overall network operation. We compare the Al-Biruni Earth Radius algorithm along with Gray Wolf Optimization, Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithms, and Whale Optimization about performance on real-world problems. Being the most efficient in the optimization process, Biruni displays the lowest error rate at 0.00032. The two other statistical techniques, like ANOVA, are also useful in discovering the factors influencing the nature of sensor data and network-specific problems. Due to the multi-faceted support the comprehensive approach promotes, there is a chance to understand the dynamics that affect the optimization outcomes better so decisions about network design can be made. Through delivering better performance and reliability for various in-situ applications, this research leads to a fusion of time series forecasters and a customized optimizer algorithm.

In this research, we employed a deep convolutional neural network, often known as a Deep CNN, to propose a novel approach to the detection of illnesses in the leaves of plants. In order to train the Deep CNN model, a dataset that is already accessible is employed. This dataset contains photographs of the leaves of 39 distinct plant species. Six different methods of data augmentation were utilized, including image inversion, gamma correction, noise injection, principal component analysis (PCA), color enhancement, rotation, and scaling. We came to the conclusion that adding more data to a model can improve its accuracy. The proposed model was trained using many epochs, batch sizes, and dropout percentages over the course of its development. When utilizing validation data, the suggested model performs better than methods of transfer learning that are commonly utilized. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed model is capable of an astounding 83.12% accuracy in data classification. The proposed research is more accurate than the many machine learning technologies that are currently in use. In addition to that, we put the suggested model through our consistency and reliability testing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Test case selection is to minimize the time and effort spent on software testing in real-time practice. During software testing, software firms need techniques to finish the testing in a stipulated time while uncompromising on quality. The motto is to select a subset of test cases rather than take up all available test cases to uncover most bugs. Our proposed model in the research study effort is termed SCARF-RT, which stands for Similarity coefficient (SC), Creating Acronyms, Regression test (RT), and Fuzzy set (FS) with Dataset (DS). Clustering of test cases using ranking and also based on similarity coefficients is to be implemented. This research considered eleven different features for clustering the test cases. Two techniques have been used. Firstly, each cluster will, to a certain extent, encompass a collection of distinct traits. Depending on the coverage of the feature, a cluster of test cases might be chosen. The ranking approach was used to create these groupings. The second methodology finds similarity among test cases based on eleven features. Then, the maxmin composition is used to find fuzzy equivalences upon which clusters are formed. Most similar test cases are clustered. Test cases of every cluster are selected as a test suite. The outcomes of this research show that the selected test cases based on the proposed approaches are better than existing methodologies in selecting test cases with less duration and at the same time not compromising on quality. Both fuzzy rank-based clustering and similarity coefficient-based clustering test case selection approaches have been developed and implemented. With the help of these methods, testers may quickly choose test cases based on the suggested characteristics and complete regression testing more quickly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The virus that causes monkeypox has been observed in Africa for several years, and it has been linked to the development of skin lesions. Public panic and anxiety have resulted from the deadly repercussions of virus infections following the COVID-19 pandemic. Rapid detection approaches are crucial since COVID-19 has reached a pandemic level. This study's overarching goal is to use metaheuristic optimization to boost the performance of feature selection and classification methods to identify skin lesions as indicators of monkeypox in the event of a pandemic. Deep learning and transfer learning approaches are used to extract the necessary features. The GoogLeNet network is the deep learning framework used for feature extraction. In addition, a binary implementation of the dipper throated optimization (DTO) algorithm is used for feature selection. The decision tree classifier is then used to label the selected set of features. The decision tree classifier is optimized using the continuous version of the DTO algorithm to improve the classification accuracy. Various evaluation methods are used to compare and contrast the proposed approach and the other competing methods using the following metrics: accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, p-Value, N-Value, and F1-score. Through feature selection and a decision tree classifier, the following results are achieved using the proposed approach; F1-score of 0.92, sensitivity of 0.95, specificity of 0.61, p-Value of 0.89, and N-Value of 0.79. The overall accuracy of the proposed methodology after optimizing the parameters of the decision tree classifier is 94.35%. Furthermore, the analysis of variation (ANOVA) and Wilcoxon signed rank test have been applied to the results to investigate the statistical distinction between the proposed methodology and the alternatives. This comparison verified the uniqueness and importance of the proposed approach to Monkeypox case detection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: In public health, machine learning algorithms have been used to predict or diagnose chronic epidemiological disorders such as diabetes mellitus, which has reached epidemic proportions due to its widespread occurrence around the world. Diabetes is just one of several diseases for which machine learning techniques can be used in the diagnosis, prognosis, and assessment procedures. Methodology: In this paper, we propose a new approach for boosting the classification of diabetes based on a new metaheuristic optimization algorithm. The proposed approach proposes a new feature selection algorithm based on a dynamic Al-Biruni earth radius and dipper-throated optimization algorithm (DBERDTO). The selected features are then classified using a random forest classifier with its parameters optimized using the proposed DBERDTO. Results: The proposed methodology is evaluated and compared with recent optimization methods and machine learning models to prove its efficiency and superiority. The overall accuracy of diabetes classification achieved by the proposed approach is 98.6%. On the other hand, statistical tests have been conducted to assess the significance and the statistical difference of the proposed approach based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Conclusions: The results of these tests confirmed the superiority of the proposed approach compared to the other classification and optimization methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Energy harvesters based on nanomaterials are getting more and more popular, but on their way to commercial availability, some crucial issues still need to be solved. The objective of the study is to select an appropriate nanomaterial. Using features of the Reinforcement Deep Q-Network (DQN) in conjunction with Fuzzy PROMETHEE, the proposed model, we present in this work a hybrid fuzzy approach to selecting appropriate materials for a vehicle-environmental-hazardous substance (EHS) combination that operates in roadways and under traffic conditions. The DQN is able to accumulate useful experience of operating in a dynamic traffic environment, accordingly selecting materials that deliver the highest energy output but at the same time bring consideration to factors such as durability, cost, and environmental impact. Fuzzy PROMETHEE allows the participation of human experts during the decision-making process, going beyond the quantitative data typically learned by DQN through the inclusion of qualitative preferences. Instead, this hybrid method unites the strength of individual approaches, as a result providing highly resistant and adjustable material selection to real EHS. The result of the study pointed out materials that can give high energy efficiency with reference to years of service, price, and environmental effects. The proposed model provides 95% accuracy with a computational efficiency of 300 s, and the application of hypothesis and practical testing on the chosen materials showed the high efficiency of the selected materials to harvest energy under fluctuating traffic conditions and proved the concept of a hybrid approach in True Vehicle Environmental High-risk Substance scenarios., (© 2024.
