In this paper, we present a way how to automatically find and set an optimal configuration for a linear system solver during a transient analysis in order to reduce computation time. Our approach is based on biologically inspired algorithms which are able to find a reasonable configuration in tens of trials, i.e., tens of timesteps in terminology of the transient analysis. This work shows a measurement within which we compared several optimization algorithms and explored their time overhead. We focus on parallel multiphysical solvers for engineering simulations developed for high-performance computing. Our experiment includes one such solver based on Finite Element Tearing and Interconnection and 4 test cases, but our solution is modular, thus, it can be connected to other similar solvers.

This paper deals with an unfavorable phenomenon called the ponding effect. This phenomenon can cause an increase in local deformations on a tensile surface and therefore endanger the integrity of the structure in case of overcoming the tensile strength of the membrane material. A searching algorithm has been developed in order to analyze and prevent occurrence of this phenomenon. An improvement of the algorithm was made so that only an expected amount of precipitation would be considered during the calculation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the problem of image deblurring. A suitable discretization scheme for a particular nonlinear time-dependent partial differential equation of parabolic type is experimented. The method is implemented by reversing the arrow of time in order to damp diffusion. Only one step is enough to reconstruct the edges of a corrupted picture affected by average blur. Thus, the procedure turns out to be extremely efficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we proposed the Low light image enhancement using a single scale retinex algorithm. The main aim is to improve the clarity of low light images. By considering the real scenes, the dynamic range of digital camera is small, hence contrast correction is required to reproduce the information of images in darker regions. The proposed method, by using single scale retinex algorithm RGB color components are extorted and modified by applying logarithm and converted into HSV. For enhancing this component, the gaussian surround function is convoluted to it and then scaled version of components and the convoluted one is added to the original image. Then contrast stretching is performed to increase quality of image. This is implemented with MATLAB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A Blockchain is a decentralized database that stores data that all network participants can access. The central authority is no longer in charge of maintaining this public database by running a cryptographic protocol with designated nodes. Bitcoin is presently the latest object within the Blockchain, and the Bitcoin node can confirm the transaction content and package deal it into the block. Through the underlying consensus agreement, the blockchain ensures the consistency of the information. These consensus algorithms are unique because the set of rules protection assumptions differs from the actual requirements. This paper provides information and compares various blockchain consensus algorithms, classifies advancement based entirely on blockchain consensus, and highlights the benefits.

Cloud infrastructure is the "backbone" technology of the internet era. Ever-growing scale of cloud network concerns the sustainability of centralized cloud. Fog computing aims to decentralizes cloud computing distributing computational processes across network devices, offers a potential solution. If application are distributed effectively in available nodes, network resource usage can be reduce while reducing latency by existing closer to data sources and end points. However, the lack of standardization of fog networks, researcher must list its evaluation setups to contextualize placement algorithm's potential abilities. Thus, selecting an evaluation environment is crucial in researching fog application placement problem. There are several reviews about evaluation environment, but there is a lack of information regarding important aspect placement problem such as algorithm type, placement objective and performance metric available in each evaluation environment. In this paper we discuss the capabilities of several evaluation environments such as iFogSim, YAFS, MATLAB, Python, real world testbed, solver, and other evaluation environments. We surveyed usage trend per year, algorithm type usage, and performance metric that can be produced by each evaluation environment. This survey aims to help future researchers on fog application placement problems to identify evaluation environment based on selected algorithm type and objective metrics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Widespread use of high-resolution satellite images may be found in many fields and applications. Its ability to record the earth's surface in more detail benefits regional spatial management, natural resources and disaster monitoring, and several other fields. The smaller coverage is unfortunate if areas are not visible due to cloud contamination. The presence of clouds can reduce or even eliminate the information in the image. Cloud detection on high-resolution images is a challenge because this image only has four channels: blue, green, red, and NIR. While the thermal channel, which is often used to detect the presence of clouds, is not owned by this image. This study proposes a method to identify clouds in high-resolution satellite imagery based on this limitation. The cloud detection software in this paper uses U-Net version 1.0. This software can be executed on a server or personal computer (PC). The model applied to the Dice coefficient and IoU to know how the segmentation model performs. The results of this cloud detection process are cloud detection raster data. This software generates the percentage of clouds in an image as a.txt file. The dice model is recommended for the cloud detection method based on the accuracy assessment. Users can utilize these results, especially in overcoming cloud constraints on high-resolution satellite imagery. This software is expected to fulfill the needs of remote-sensing data users.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes more widely used, the danger of information leakage, the danger of information leakage, data leakage and theft of the internet of things is continuous increasing, as the communication channel for data transfer is open to the public. A considerable portion of this data includes sensitive and personal information for the user and the company as well. Because of the openness, distributed nature, and lack of control over the entire IoT environment, the number of attack vectors for bad users is significant. End-users must trust the system for the IoT to become a viable service platform. Consequently, in critical infrastructures like smart home, smart city, smart healthcare, and smart industry, information security and privacy are the major concern in the Internet of Things. In this paper, we present an information concealment strategy using steganography to protect communication in critical IoT infrastructure. RGB photographs are employed as the information carrier. Deep layers of low-distortion image channels in the least significant bit (LSB) are used to hide the data to be used as a data marker. Both mathematically and experimentally, we evaluate our method. We display mathematically that the striker's analysis cannot expect the current information. The proposed strategy outperformed previous strategies in terms of imperceptibility and capacity, as well as resilience to steganalysis attacks like histogram analysis, as demonstrated experimentally.

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of safe data from novel HMAC cloud administration with respect to low time consumption in Database Management. In order to foresee the information in time consumption of the Database Management in cloud administration, we tested the HMAC encryption Algorithm with a test size of =20 and the IDEA encryption calculation (IEA) with a test size of =20. HMAC encryption was used to reduce the time needed to recover data from more secure distributed storage. When comparing HMAC and IDEA encryption calculations, HMAC has a higher utilisation rate (66.80 percent) (62.97 percent). In general, HMAC encryption calculation outperforms IDEA encryption calculation (p 0.05, 2-tailed). In data set administration frameworks, a novel HMAC encryption computation helps reduce the possibility of data recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Kidney is one of the significant organs in the human body which performs filtering out blood, balances fluid, removes the waste, maintains the level of electrolytes and hormone levels. So, any disorder or dysfunction in kidney needs to be detected on time in order to preserve life. Segmentation on kidney tumor in medical field is a critical task and many conventional methods have been employed for early prediction of kidney abnormalities but with limitations such as high cost, extended time for computation and analysis with huge amount of data. Due to all such problems, the prediction rate and accuracy has reduced considerably.

Blood sugar levels rise as a result of impaired glucose homeostasis, which is a feature of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Coronary artery disease, nerve damage, diabetic retinal disease, kidney failure, and sex disorders are just a few of the consequences that can result from DM. DM has to be diagnosed early to minimize its effects and those of its consequences. One technique for automatically detecting DM based on the prior data is the clustering algorithm. However, the K-mean Clustering method is easy to be implemented, has fast computational time and adapted easily. However, the centroids of K-means are initialized randomly that causes to be stuck in local optima. For this reason, the robust centroids initialization on the K-means clustering method are necessary to handle this problem. This paper uses swarm intelligence algorithm for this goal since it is able to obtain solution near the global optima, is robust and easy to be implemented. As a result, this study proposes an improved K-means clustering-based technique for diagnosing DM. The K-means is improved by using robust centroid initialization-based swarm intelligence algorithm. The swarm intelligence algorithm which is used is Particle Swarm Optimization. By using experiments, the proposed method is confirmed better than the original K-means clustering in diagnosing DM.

Huge number of nodes of sensor make wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that not just gather data associated with various happenings but also submit those events to central station hop-by-hop. Data submitted through nodes of neighbor may be extra as well as duplicate. In addition, generated data number in wide WSNs might be a lot to be processed in sink. The most essential variable for gathering WSNs data is optimum energy usage to integrate also gather data. The accuracy of the information is usually assessed by detecting the error of the data contained in the CHs. This process helps increase the integrity and reliability of the WSN application. Basically, data identification is a classification issue. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is one of the most common classification approaches used in this paper to create an identification model. The SVM classification parameters will also be optimized by the Eurasian oystercatcher optimizer algorithm (EOO). The simulation results show that the proposed method is better than the basic paper in terms of 5 specific criteria. The proposed method has improved by about 1.02% compared to the other methods.

Absolute value detectors implement a widely used spike-detection algorism called absolute value detection. 4-bit absolute value detectors are extensively used in computer storage and acquiring neural signals. As a basic logic component, there's a rising demand for low energy cost and high working frequency. This paper performed a series of optimizations to the conventional design. A traditional absolute value finder is composed of an absolute value finder using ripple-carry adder and multiplexer, and a comparator. In this paper, both parts are redesigned with static-CMOS logic and transmission gate logic (TGL) to shorten critical path. After the circuit topology is determined, two methods are used to control delay and power consumption: sizing logic gates and adjusting supply voltage. A technique called logic effort is used to derive the delay of critical path. By using a linear programming solver, three sets of parameters are found, in which 38.59-unit delay, 52.75-unit energy cost is a balanced design, with the lowest EDP (Energy delay product).

In order to make the auxiliary training ball picking robot pick up the ball efficiently, the path planning of the ball picking robot is needed. The traditional A-star algorithm can be applied to project the trajectory of the mobile robot under the motion model, but there are problems of general obstacle avoidance and insufficient accuracy of obstacle avoidance, based on the characteristics of iteration of the colony algorithm to improve the accuracy of the algorithm. This paper proposes an approach to make the A* algorithm iterative to improve the ability of the algorithm to perform path planning. Compared with the separate A* and colony algorithms, the algorithm in this paper is more accurate and efficient in handling complex routes. It is also paired with object recognition and grasping functions to achieve the function of identifying basketballs, grasping them and transporting them back to the players for the ball pickup robot. In the final Matlab simulation experiments, the effectiveness of target recognition, object grasping, and optimized path recognition is verified. Among them, the optimization algorithm of A* shortens the length of the path by 28% after 40 iterations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The field of robotics research has been well developed with the combination of computers and machinery. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, mobile robots are also attracting more attention today, and path planning is a crucial foundational technology for mobile robots to complete transportation requirements and reach pertinent target areas. In an efficiency-conscious society, the single-goal planning of transmission is gradually failing to meet the needs of enterprises and factories for efficient operations, path planning that can simultaneously plan the optimal methods and reach many target points is increasingly replacing the conventional single-goal path planning. However, there are more factors to be considered in the real complex environment to face various complex road conditions, and for this reason, various single or hybrid algorithms are being optimized and solved for this kind of problem. This paper summarizes the main methods of path planning to simulate the scale of obstacles and environmental scene maps in various conditions, focusing on several basic algorithms and their hybrid algorithms for solving multi-objective path planning problems in global and local path planning, as well as their improvements and innovations on the basic algorithms. This paper's primary idea is to divide the multi-path planning process into various components and substitute each part into a suitable algorithm and model to solve it separately to accomplish the task of reaching multiple target points efficiently.
