Mammography is the primary modality that helped in the early detection and diagnosis of women
breast diseases. Further, the process of extracting the masses in mammogram represents a challenging task
facing the radiologists, due to problems such as fuzzy or speculated borders, low contrast and the presence of
intensity inhomogeneities. Aims to help the radiologists in the diagnosis of breast cancer, many approaches
have been conducted to automatically segment the masses in mammograms. Towards this aim, in this paper,
we present a new approach for extraction of tumors from region-of-interest (ROI) using the algorithm of Fuzzy
C-Means (FCM) setting two clusters for semi-automated segmentation. The proposed method meant to select
as input data the set of pixels that enable to get the meaningful information required to segment the masses
with high accuracy. This could be accomplished through eliminating unnecessary pixels, which influence on this
process through separating it outside of the input data using an optimal thresho ld given by monitoring the
change of clusters rate during the process of threshold decrementing. The proposed methodology has
successfully segmented the masses, with an average sensitivity of 82.02% and specificity of 98.23%.

A Novel Approach for Cancer Detection in MRI Mammogram Using Decision Tree In...CSCJournals
An intelligent computer-aided diagnosis system can be very helpful for radiologist in detecting and diagnosing microcalcifications’ patterns earlier and faster than typical screening programs. In this paper, we present a system based on fuzzy-C Means clustering and feature extraction techniques using texture based segmentation and genetic algorithm for detecting and diagnosing micro calcifications’ patterns in digital mammograms.We have investigated and analyzed a number of feature extraction techniques and found that a combination of three features, such as entropy, standard deviation, and number of pixels, is the best combination to distinguish a benign micro calcification pattern from one that is malignant. A fuzzy C Means technique in conjunction with three features was used to detect a micro calcification pattern and a neural network to classify it into benign/malignant. The system was developed on a Windows platform. It is an easy to use intelligent system that gives the user options to diagnose, detect, enlarge, zoom, and measure distances of areas in digital mammograms. The present study focused on the investigation of the application of artificial intelligence and data mining techniques to the prediction models of breast cancer. The artificial neural network, decision tree,Fuzzy C Means, and genetic algorithm were used for the comparative studies and the accuracy and positive predictive value of each algorithm were used as the evaluation indicators. 699 records acquired from the breast cancer patients at the MIAS database, 9 predictor variables, and 1 outcome variable were incorporated for the data analysis followed by the 10-fold cross-validation. The results revealed that the accuracies of Fuzzy C Means were 0.9534 (sensitivity 0.98716 and specificity 0.9582), the decision tree model 0.9634 (sensitivity 0.98615, specificity 0.9305), the neural network model 0.96502 (sensitivity 0.98628, specificity 0.9473), the genetic algorithm model 0.9878 (sensitivity 1, specificity 0.9802). The accuracy of the genetic algorithm was significantly higher than the average predicted accuracy of 0.9612. The predicted outcome of the Fuzzy C Means model was higher than that of the neural network model but no significant difference was observed. The average predicted accuracy of the decision tree model was 0.9635 which was the lowest of all 4 predictive models. The standard deviation of the 10-fold cross-validation was rather unreliable. The results showed that the genetic algorithm described in the present study was able to produce accurate results in the classification of breast cancer data and the classification rule identified was more acceptable and comprehensible.

Segmentation is a process of partitioning the image into several objects. It plays a vital role in many fields
such as satellite, remote sensing, object identification, face tracking and most importantly in medical field.
In radiology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to investigate the human body processes and
functions of organisms. In hospitals, this technique has been using widely for medical diagnosis, to find the
disease stage and follow-up without exposure to ionizing radiation.Here in this paper, we proposed a novel
MR brain image segmentation method for detecting the tumor and finding the tumor area with improved
performance over conventional segmentation techniques such as fuzzy c means (FCM), K-means and even
that of manual segmentation in terms of precision time and accuracy. Simulation performance shows that
the proposed scheme has performed superior to the existing segmentation methods.
A New Approach to the Detection of Mammogram Boundary IJECEIAES
Mammography is a method used for the detection of breast cancer. computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems help the radiologist in the detection and interpretation of mass in breast mammography. One of the important information of a mass is its contour and its form because it provides valuable information about the abnormality of a mass. The accuracy in the recognition of the shape of a mass is related to the accuracy of the detected mass contours. In this work we propose a new approach for detecting the boundaries of lesion in mammography images based on region growing algorithm without using the threshold, the proposed method requires an initial rectangle surrounding the lesion selected manually by the radiologist (Region Of Interest), where the region growing algorithm applies on lines segments that attach each pixel of this rectangle with the seed point, such as the ends (seeds) of each line segment grow in a direction towards one another. The proposed approach is evaluated on a set of data with 20 masses of the MIAS base whose contours are annotated manually by expert radiologists. The performance of the method is evaluated in terms of specificity, sensitivity, accuracy and overlap. All the findings and details of approach are presented in detail.
An intelligent mammogram diagnosis system can be very helpful for radiologist in detecting the abnormalities earlier than typical screening techniques. This paper investigates a new classification approach for detection of breast abnormalities in digital mammograms using League Championship Algorithm Optimized Ensembled Fully Complex valued Relaxation Network (LCA-FCRN). The proposed algorithm is based on extracting curvelet fractal texture features from the mammograms and classifying the suspicious regions by applying a pattern classifier. The whole system includes steps for pre-processing, feature extraction, feature selection and classification to classify whether the given input mammogram image is normal or abnormal. The method is applied to MIAS database of 322 film mammograms. The performance of the CAD system is analysed using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. This curve indicates the trade-offs between sensitivity and specificity that is available from a diagnostic system, and thus describes the inherent discrimination capacity of the proposed system. The result shows that the area under the ROC curve of the proposed algorithm is 0.985 with a sensitivity of 98.1% and specificity of 92.105%. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can form an effective CAD system, and achieve good classification accuracy.

Mammography is an effective imaging modality of breast cancer abnormalities detection. Survival rate of breast cancer treatment can be increased via early detection of mammography. However detecting the mass in the early stage is a tough task for radiologist. Detection of suspicious abnormalities is a continual task. Out of thousand cases only 3 to 4 are analyzed as cancerous by a radiologist and thus abnormality may be left out. 10-30% of cancers are failed to detect by radiologist. Computer Aided Diagnosis helps the radiologists to detect abnormalities earlier than traditional procedures. Because of some negligence in capturing device, the image may be affected by noise this leads to fault diagnosis. Preprocessing can remove this unwanted noise. In this paper features such as entropy, circularity, edge detection, and correlation are extracted from the image to distinguish normal and abnormal regions of a mammogram. Classification and detection of mammogram can be done by Possibilistic Fuzzy C Means algorithm and Support Vector Machine using extracted features.

Comparison of Image Segmentation Algorithms for Brain Tumor DetectionIJMTST Journal
This paper deals with the implementation of Simple Algorithms for detection of size and shape of tumor in brain using MRI images. Generally, CT scan or MRI that is directed into intracranial cavity produces a complete image of brain. This image is visually examined by the physician for detection & diagnosis of brain tumor. However this method of detection resists the accurate determination of stage & size of tumor. To avoid that, this project uses computer aided method for segmentation (detection) of brain tumor by applying Fuzzy C-Means, K-Means, Gaussian Kernel and Pillar K-means algorithms. This segmentation process includes a new mechanism for clustering the elements of high-resolution images in order to improve precision and reduce computation time. The system applies FCM, Gaussian kernel and K-means clustering to the image later optimized by Pillar Algorithm. It designates the initial centroids’ positions by calculating the Euclidian distance metric between each data point and all previous centroids. Then it selects data points which have the maximum distance as new initial centroids. This algorithm distributes all initial centroids according to the maximum accumulated distance metric. In addition, it also reduces the time for analysis. At the end of the process the tumor is extracted from the MRI image and its exact position and the shape is also determined. This paper evaluates the proposed approach for Brain tumor detection by comparing with K-means, Fuzzy C means, Gaussian Kernel and manually segmented algorithms. The experimental results clarify the effectiveness of proposed approach to improve the segmentation quality in aspects of precision and computational time.

Now mammography can be defined as the most reliable method for early breast cancer detection. The main goal of this study is to design a classifier model to help radiologists to provide a second view to diagnose mammograms. In the proposed system medium filter and binary image with a global threshold have been applied for removing the noise and small artifacts in the preprocessing stage. Secondly, in the segmentation phase, a hybrid bounding box and region growing (HBBRG) algorithm are utilizing to remove pectoral muscles, and then a geometric method has been applied to cut the largest possible square that can be obtained from a mammogram which represents the region of interest (ROI). In the features extraction phase three method was used to prepare texture features to be a suitable introduction to the classification process are first Order (statistical features), local binary patterns (LBP), and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), Finally, support vector machine (SVM) has been applied in two-level to classify mammogram images in the first level to normal or abnormal, and then the classification of abnormal once in the second level to the benign or malignant image.

Breast cancer is the common cancer in women, where early detection reduces the mortality rate. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are efficient in analyzing breast cancer, but it is hard to identify the abnormalities. The manual breast cancer detection in MRI images is inefficient; therefore, a deep learning-based system is implemented in this manuscript. Initially, the visual quality improvement is done using region growing and adaptive histogram equalization (AHE), and then, the breast lesion is segmented by Otsu thresholding with morphological transform. Next, the features are extracted from the segmented lesion, and a modified fuzzy rough set technique is proposed to reduce the dimensions of the extracted features that decreases the system complexity and computational time. The active features are fed to the stacked autoencoder for classifying the benign and malignant classes. The results demonstrated that the proposed model attained 99% and 99.22% of classification accuracy on the benchmark datasets, which are higher related to the comparative classifiers: decision tree, naïve Bayes, random forest and k-nearest neighbor (KNN). The obtained results state that the proposed model superiorly screens and detects the breast lesions that assists clinicians in effective therapeutic intervention and timely treatment.

Early detection of breast cancer cells can be predicted through a precise feature extraction technique that can produce efficient features. The application of Gabor filters, gray level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM) and other textural feature extraction techniques have proven to achieve promising results but were often characterized by a high false-positive rate (FPR) and false-negative rate (FNR) with high computational complexities. This study optimized textural features for mass classification in digital mammography using the weighted average gravitational search algorithm (WA-GSA). The Gabor and GLCM features were fused and optimized using WA-GSA to overcome the weakness of the textural feature techniques. With support vector machine (SVM) used as the classifier, the proposed algorithm was compared with commonly applied techniques. Experimental results show that the SVM with WA-GSA features achieved FPR, FNR and accuracy of 1.60%, 9.68% and 95.71% at 271.83 s, respectively. Meanwhile, SVM with Gabor features achieved FPR, FNR and accuracy of 3.21%, 12.90% and 93.57% at 2351.29 s, respectively, while SVM with GLCM features achieved FPR, FNR and accuracy of 4.28%, 18.28% and 91.07% at 384.54 s, respectively. The obtained results show the prevalence of the proposed algorithm, WA-GSA, in the classification of breast cancer tumor detection.

An automated system overcomes the drawbacks as well as it segments the white matter, grey matter, cerebrospinal fluid and edema. This clustering approach is particularly used for brain tumor detection in abnormal MR images. In this paper the application of Modified FCM algorithm for Brain tumor detection and its classification by SVM algorithm is focused. The Magnetic Resonance image is converted in to vector format and that is given as input to the modified fuzzy c-means algorithm. In modified fuzzy c-means the steps are: initial fuzzy partitioning and fuzzy membership generation Cluster updation based on objective function, Assigning labels to pixels of each category and display segmented image that will give more meaningful regions to analyze. This clustered images served as inputs to SVM. The basic SVM takes a set of input data and predicts, for each given input, which of two possible classes.

Computer Aided System for Detection and Classification of Breast CancerIJITCA Journal
Breast cancer is one of the most important causes of death among all type of cancers for grown-up and
older women, mainly in developed countries, and its rate is rising. Since the cause of this disease is not yet
known, early detection is the best way to decrease the breast cancer mortality. At present, early detection of
breast cancer is attained by means of mammography. An intelligent computer-aided diagnosis system can
be very helpful for radiologist in detecting and diagnosing cancerous cell patterns earlier and faster than
typical screening programs. This paper proposes a computer aided system for automatic detection and
classification of breast cancer in mammogram images. Intuitionistic Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique
has been used to identify the suspicious region or the Region of Interest automatically. Then, the feature
data base is designed using histogram features, Gray Level Concurrence wavelet features and wavelet
energy features. Finally, the feature database is submitted to self-adaptive resource allocation network
classifier for classification of mammogram image as normal, benign or malignant. The proposed system is
verified with 322 mammograms from the Mammographic Image Analysis Society Database. The results
show that the proposed system produces better results.
Computer-aided diagnosis system for breast cancer based on the Gabor filter ...IJECEIAES
The most prominent reason for the death of women all over the world is breast cancer. Early detection of cancer helps to lower the death rate. Mammography scans determine breast tumors in the first stage. As the mammograms have slight contrast, thus, it is a blur to the radiologist to recognize micro growths. A computer-aided diagnostic system is a powerful tool for understanding mammograms. Also, the specialist helps determine the presence of the breast lesion and distinguish between the normal area and the mass. In this paper, the Gabor filter is presented as a key step in building a diagnostic system. It is considered a sufficient method to extract the features. That helps us to avoid tumor classification difficulties and false-positive reduction. The linear support vector machine technique is used in this system for results classification. To improve the results, adaptive histogram equalization pre-processing procedure is employed. Mini-MIAS database utilized to evaluate this method. The highest accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity achieved are 98.7%, 98%, 99%, respectively, at the region of interest (30×30). The results have demonstrated the efficacy and accuracy of the proposed method of helping the radiologist on diagnosing breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among females worldwide. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) was developed to assist radiologists in detecting and evaluating nodules so it can improve diagnostic accuracy, avoid unnecessary biopsies, reduce anxiety and control costs. This research proposes a method of CAD for breast ultrasound images based on margin and posterior acoustic features. It consists of preprocessing, segmentation using active contour without edge (ACWE) and morphological, feature extraction and classification. Texture and geometry analysis was used to determine the characteristics of the posterior acoustic and margin nodules. Support vector machines (SVM) provided better performance than multilayer perceptron (MLP). The performance of proposed method achieved the accuracy of 91.35%, sensitivity of 92.00%, specificity of 89.66%, PPV of 95.83%, NPV of 81.26% and Kappa of 0.7915. These results indicate that the developed CAD has potential to be implemented for diagnosis of breast cancer using ultrasound images.
Feature Selection Mammogram based on Breast Cancer Mining IJECEIAES
The very dense breast of mammogram image makes the Radiologists often have difficulties in interpreting the mammography objectively and accurately. One of the key success factors of computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system is the use of the right features. Therefore, this research emphasizes on the feature selection process by performing the data mining on the results of mammogram image feature extraction. There are two algorithms used to perform the mining, the decision tree and the rule induction. Furthermore, the selected features produced by the algorithms are tested using classification algorithms: k-nearest neighbors, decision tree, and naive bayesian with the scheme of 10-fold cross validation using stratified sampling way. There are five descriptors that are the best features and have contributed in determining the classification of benign and malignant lesions as follows: slice, integrated density, area fraction, model gray value, and center of mass. The best classification results based on the five features are generated by the decision tree algorithm with accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, FPR, and TPR of 93.18%; 87.5%; 3.89%; 6.33% and 92.11% respectively.
Automated breast cancer detection system from breast mammogram using deep neu...nooriasukmaningtyas
All over the world breast cancer is a major disease which mostly affects the women and it may also cause death if it is not diagnosed in its early stage. But nowadays, several screening methods like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound imaging, thermography and mammography are available to detect the breast cancer. In this article mammography images are used to detect the breast cancer. In mammography image the cancerous lumps/microcalcifications are seen to be tiny with low contrast therefore it is difficult for the doctors/radiologist to detect it. Hence, to help the doctors/radiologist a novel system based on deep neural network is introduced in this article that detects the cancerous lumps/microcalcifications automatically from the mammogram images. The system acquires the mammographic images from the mammographic image analysis society (MIAS) data set. After pre-processing these images by 2D median image filter, cancerous features are extracted from the images by the hybridization of convolutional neural network with rat swarm optimization algorithm. Finally, the breast cancer patients are classified by integrating random forest with arithmetic optimization algorithm. This system identifies the breast cancer patients accurately and its performance is relatively high compared to other approaches.

In recent times, the trend of online shopping through e-commerce stores and websites has grown to a huge extent. Whenever a product is purchased on an e-commerce platform, people leave their reviews about the product. These reviews are very helpful for the store owners and the product’s manufacturers for the betterment of their work process as well as product quality. An automated system is proposed in this work that operates on two datasets D1 and D2 obtained from Amazon. After certain preprocessing steps, N-gram and word embedding-based features are extracted using term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), bag of words (BoW) and global vectors (GloVe), and Word2vec, respectively. Four machine learning (ML) models support vector machines (SVM), logistic regression (RF), logistic regression (LR), multinomial Naïve Bayes (MNB), two deep learning (DL) models convolutional neural network (CNN), long-short term memory (LSTM), and standalone bidirectional encoder representations (BERT) are used to classify reviews as either positive or negative. The results obtained by the standard ML, DL models and BERT are evaluated using certain performance evaluation measures. BERT turns out to be the best-performing model in the case of D1 with an accuracy of 90% on features derived by word embedding models while the CNN provides the best accuracy of 97% upon word embedding features in the case of D2. The proposed model shows better overall performance on D2 as compared to D1.

In this work, Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 has been used as the substrate material, with a dielectric permittivity of 2.2 and a thickness of 0.3451 mm; it serves as the base for the examined antenna. The computer simulation technology (CST) studio suite is utilized to show the recommended antenna design. The goal of this study was to get a more extensive transmission capacity, a lower voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and a lower return loss, but the main goal was to get a higher gain, directivity, and efficiency. After simulation, the return loss, gain, directivity, bandwidth, and efficiency of the supplied antenna are found to be -17.626 dB, 9.671 dBi, 9.924 dBi, 0.2 GHz, and 97.45%, respectively. Besides, the recreation uncovered that the transfer speed side-lobe level at phi was much better than those of the earlier works, at -28.8 dB, respectively. Thus, it makes a solid contender for remote innovation and more robust communication.

Improving the detection of intrusion in vehicular ad-hoc networks with modifi...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are wireless-equipped vehicles that form networks along the road. The security of this network has been a major challenge. The identity-based cryptosystem (IBC) previously used to secure the networks suffers from membership authentication security features. This paper focuses on improving the detection of intruders in VANETs with a modified identity-based cryptosystem (MIBC). The MIBC is developed using a non-singular elliptic curve with Lagrange interpolation. The public key of vehicles and roadside units on the network are derived from number plates and location identification numbers, respectively. Pseudo-identities are used to mask the real identity of users to preserve their privacy. The membership authentication mechanism ensures that only valid and authenticated members of the network are allowed to join the network. The performance of the MIBC is evaluated using intrusion detection ratio (IDR) and computation time (CT) and then validated with the existing IBC. The result obtained shows that the MIBC recorded an IDR of 99.3% against 94.3% obtained for the existing identity-based cryptosystem (EIBC) for 140 unregistered vehicles attempting to intrude on the network. The MIBC shows lower CT values of 1.17 ms against 1.70 ms for EIBC. The MIBC can be used to improve the security of VANETs.
Conceptual model of internet banking adoption with perceived risk and trust f...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Understanding the primary factors of internet banking (IB) acceptance is critical for both banks and users; nevertheless, our knowledge of the role of users’ perceived risk and trust in IB adoption is limited. As a result, we develop a conceptual model by incorporating perceived risk and trust into the technology acceptance model (TAM) theory toward the IB. The proper research emphasized that the most essential component in explaining IB adoption behavior is behavioral intention to use IB adoption. TAM is helpful for figuring out how elements that affect IB adoption are connected to one another. According to previous literature on IB and the use of such technology in Iraq, one has to choose a theoretical foundation that may justify the acceptance of IB from the customer’s perspective. The conceptual model was therefore constructed using the TAM as a foundation. Furthermore, perceived risk and trust were added to the TAM dimensions as external factors. The key objective of this work was to extend the TAM to construct a conceptual model for IB adoption and to get sufficient theoretical support from the existing literature for the essential elements and their relationships in order to unearth new insights about factors responsible for IB adoption.
Efficient combined fuzzy logic and LMS algorithm for smart antennaTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The smart antennas are broadly used in wireless communication. The least mean square (LMS) algorithm is a procedure that is concerned in controlling the smart antenna pattern to accommodate specified requirements such as steering the beam toward the desired signal, in addition to placing the deep nulls in the direction of unwanted signals. The conventional LMS (C-LMS) has some drawbacks like slow convergence speed besides high steady state fluctuation error. To overcome these shortcomings, the present paper adopts an adaptive fuzzy control step size least mean square (FC-LMS) algorithm to adjust its step size. Computer simulation outcomes illustrate that the given model has fast convergence rate as well as low mean square error steady state.

Wavelet-based sensing technique in cognitive radio networkTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Cognitive radio is a smart radio that can change its transmitter parameter based on interaction with the environment in which it operates. The demand for frequency spectrum is growing due to a big data issue as many Internet of Things (IoT) devices are in the network. Based on previous research, most frequency spectrum was used, but some spectrums were not used, called spectrum hole. Energy detection is one of the spectrum sensing methods that has been frequently used since it is easy to use and does not require license users to have any prior signal understanding. But this technique is incapable of detecting at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels. Therefore, the wavelet-based sensing is proposed to overcome this issue and detect spectrum holes. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the performance of wavelet-based sensing and compare it with the energy detection technique. The findings show that the percentage of detection in wavelet-based sensing is 83% higher than energy detection performance. This result indicates that the wavelet-based sensing has higher precision in detection and the interference towards primary user can be decreased.
A novel compact dual-band bandstop filter with enhanced rejection bandsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In this paper, we present the design of a new wide dual-band bandstop filter (DBBSF) using nonuniform transmission lines. The method used to design this filter is to replace conventional uniform transmission lines with nonuniform lines governed by a truncated Fourier series. Based on how impedances are profiled in the proposed DBBSF structure, the fractional bandwidths of the two 10 dB-down rejection bands are widened to 39.72% and 52.63%, respectively, and the physical size has been reduced compared to that of the filter with the uniform transmission lines. The results of the electromagnetic (EM) simulation support the obtained analytical response and show an improved frequency behavior.
Deep learning approach to DDoS attack with imbalanced data at the application...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is where one or more computers attack or target a server computer, by flooding internet traffic to the server. As a result, the server cannot be accessed by legitimate users. A result of this attack causes enormous losses for a company because it can reduce the level of user trust, and reduce the company’s reputation to lose customers due to downtime. One of the services at the application layer that can be accessed by users is a web-based lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) service that can provide safe and easy services to access directory applications. We used a deep learning approach to detect DDoS attacks on the CICDDoS 2019 dataset on a complex computer network at the application layer to get fast and accurate results for dealing with unbalanced data. Based on the results obtained, it is observed that DDoS attack detection using a deep learning approach on imbalanced data performs better when implemented using synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) method for binary classes. On the other hand, the proposed deep learning approach performs better for detecting DDoS attacks in multiclass when implemented using the adaptive synthetic (ADASYN) method.
The appearance of uncertainties and disturbances often effects the characteristics of either linear or nonlinear systems. Plus, the stabilization process may be deteriorated thus incurring a catastrophic effect to the system performance. As such, this manuscript addresses the concept of matching condition for the systems that are suffering from miss-match uncertainties and exogeneous disturbances. The perturbation towards the system at hand is assumed to be known and unbounded. To reach this outcome, uncertainties and their classifications are reviewed thoroughly. The structural matching condition is proposed and tabulated in the proposition 1. Two types of mathematical expressions are presented to distinguish the system with matched uncertainty and the system with miss-matched uncertainty. Lastly, two-dimensional numerical expressions are provided to practice the proposed proposition. The outcome shows that matching condition has the ability to change the system to a design-friendly model for asymptotic stabilization.

Many systems, including digital signal processors, finite impulse response (FIR) filters, application-specific integrated circuits, and microprocessors, use multipliers. The demand for low power multipliers is gradually rising day by day in the current technological trend. In this study, we describe a 4×4 Wallace multiplier based on a carry select adder (CSA) that uses less power and has a better power delay product than existing multipliers. HSPICE tool at 16 nm technology is used to simulate the results. In comparison to the traditional CSA-based multiplier, which has a power consumption of 1.7 µW and power delay product (PDP) of 57.3 fJ, the results demonstrate that the Wallace multiplier design employing CSA with first zero finding logic (FZF) logic has the lowest power consumption of 1.4 µW and PDP of 27.5 fJ.
Evaluation of the weighted-overlap add model with massive MIMO in a 5G systemTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The flaw in 5G orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) becomes apparent in high-speed situations. Because the doppler effect causes frequency shifts, the orthogonality of OFDM subcarriers is broken, lowering both their bit error rate (BER) and throughput output. As part of this research, we use a novel design that combines massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and weighted overlap and add (WOLA) to improve the performance of 5G systems. To determine which design is superior, throughput and BER are calculated for both the proposed design and OFDM. The results of the improved system show a massive improvement in performance ver the conventional system and significant improvements with massive MIMO, including the best throughput and BER. When compared to conventional systems, the improved system has a throughput that is around 22% higher and the best performance in terms of BER, but it still has around 25% less error than OFDM.

In place of the commercial Pt electrode used in quantum sensitized solar cells, the low-cost CuS cathode is created using electrophoresis. High resolution scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the structure and morphology of structural cubic samples with diameters ranging from 40 nm to 200 nm. The conversion efficiency of solar cells is significantly impacted by the calcination temperatures of cathodes at 100 °C, 120 °C, 150 °C, and 180 °C under vacuum. The fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO)/CuS cathode electrode reached a maximum efficiency of 3.89% when it was calcined at 120 °C. Compared to other temperature combinations, CuS nanoparticles crystallize at 120 °C, which lowers resistance while increasing electron lifetime.

This article discusses the progressive learning for structural tolerance online sequential extreme learning machine (PSTOS-ELM). PSTOS-ELM can save robust accuracy while updating the new data and the new class data on the online training situation. The robustness accuracy arises from using the householder block exact QR decomposition recursive least squares (HBQRD-RLS) of the PSTOS-ELM. This method is suitable for applications that have data streaming and often have new class data. Our experiment compares the PSTOS-ELM accuracy and accuracy robustness while data is updating with the batch-extreme learning machine (ELM) and structural tolerance online sequential extreme learning machine (STOS-ELM) that both must retrain the data in a new class data case. The experimental results show that PSTOS-ELM has accuracy and robustness comparable to ELM and STOS-ELM while also can update new class data immediately.
Electroencephalography-based brain-computer interface using neural networksTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This study aimed to develop a brain-computer interface that can control an electric wheelchair using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. First, we used the Mind Wave Mobile 2 device to capture raw EEG signals from the surface of the scalp. The signals were transformed into the frequency domain using fast Fourier transform (FFT) and filtered to monitor changes in attention and relaxation. Next, we performed time and frequency domain analyses to identify features for five eye gestures: opened, closed, blink per second, double blink, and lookup. The base state was the opened-eyes gesture, and we compared the features of the remaining four action gestures to the base state to identify potential gestures. We then built a multilayer neural network to classify these features into five signals that control the wheelchair’s movement. Finally, we designed an experimental wheelchair system to test the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results demonstrate that the EEG classification was highly accurate and computationally efficient. Moreover, the average performance of the brain-controlled wheelchair system was over 75% across different individuals, which suggests the feasibility of this approach.
Adaptive segmentation algorithm based on level set model in medical imagingTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
For image segmentation, level set models are frequently employed. It offer best solution to overcome the main limitations of deformable parametric models. However, the challenge when applying those models in medical images stills deal with removing blurs in image edges which directly affects the edge indicator function, leads to not adaptively segmenting images and causes a wrong analysis of pathologies wich prevents to conclude a correct diagnosis. To overcome such issues, an effective process is suggested by simultaneously modelling and solving systems’ two-dimensional partial differential equations (PDE). The first PDE equation allows restoration using Euler’s equation similar to an anisotropic smoothing based on a regularized Perona and Malik filter that eliminates noise while preserving edge information in accordance with detected contours in the second equation that segments the image based on the first equation solutions. This approach allows developing a new algorithm which overcome the studied model drawbacks. Results of the proposed method give clear segments that can be applied to any application. Experiments on many medical images in particular blurry images with high information losses, demonstrate that the developed approach produces superior segmentation results in terms of quantity and quality compared to other models already presented in previeous works.
Automatic channel selection using shuffled frog leaping algorithm for EEG bas...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Drug addiction is a complex neurobiological disorder that necessitates comprehensive treatment of both the body and mind. It is categorized as a brain disorder due to its impact on the brain. Various methods such as electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), and magnetoencephalography (MEG) can capture brain activities and structures. EEG signals provide valuable insights into neurological disorders, including drug addiction. Accurate classification of drug addiction from EEG signals relies on appropriate features and channel selection. Choosing the right EEG channels is essential to reduce computational costs and mitigate the risk of overfitting associated with using all available channels. To address the challenge of optimal channel selection in addiction detection from EEG signals, this work employs the shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA). SFLA facilitates the selection of appropriate channels, leading to improved accuracy. Wavelet features extracted from the selected input channel signals are then analyzed using various machine learning classifiers to detect addiction. Experimental results indicate that after selecting features from the appropriate channels, classification accuracy significantly increased across all classifiers. Particularly, the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classifier combined with SFLA demonstrated a remarkable accuracy improvement of 15.78% while reducing time complexity.

A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

thresholding wavelet transform and genetic algorithm for masses detection and segmentation.
J. Anitha et al [8], proposed spatial based fuzzy level set algorithm for automatic mammogram mass
segmentation, the output of fuzzy clustering is used as input for the level set segmentation that is
used to refine the mass boundary, the results of fuzzy clustering are used to estimate the control
parameters of level set algorithm. Khaddouj Taifi et al [9], proposed a hybrid technique for
enhancing mammograms, this technique combines Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform and
Hommomorphic Filtering, then the authors presented a comparative study based on three different
algorithms: proposed methods, homomorphic filtering and unsharp masking, the experimental results
of this study show that the proposed method significantly reduces noise in high noise mammograms.
The choice of the cluster number is one of the biggest challenges to ensure better
segmentation result by Fuzzy C-means; because the performance of segmentation result strongly
depends on the number of attached clusters.

C=4 C=5 C=6
Figure 1. The Different Clustering Results
Despite the large number of studies that have been developed in order to get the optimal
number of clusters, and to adapt the fuzzy c-means for automatic image segmentation [10-11], an
automatic processing for tumor segmentation by using FCM is still challenging in CAD system.
Therefore, the aim of this paper is to overcome this limitation; and to present a novel breast mass
segmentation method based on Fuzzy c-means algorithm, where the number of clusters is C=2.
Aiming to get one of these clusters represent the mass with high accuracy, we introduce a threshold
that allows selecting as input data just the meaningful set of pixels. After doing the noise reduction by
using median filter, the process of decrementing starts with increasing the number of input data and
account the amount of output data in each cluster. the change of output data amount, during
threshold decrementing subject to examination in order to obtain an optimal threshold, which will
enable us to select as FCM input, just the set of pixels suitable and enough to be used to doing the
best segmentation.
The paper is organized as follows: Section 2 describes the materials and proposed
methodology for segmentation of mammographic masses. Section 3 demonstrates the results and
performance. Finally, section 4 presents the conclusion.
2. Research Method
In this part, we present details of the various methods and materials used in this study.
2.1. Database Description
Mammography Image Analysis Society (MIAS) has created a mammogram database. In this
work, we use this database. The original MIAS database is digitized at 50-micron pixel edge and has
been reduced to 200-micron pixel edge and clipped or padded so that every image is 1024 X 1024
pixels. All images are held as 8-bit gray level scale images with 256 different gray levels (0-255)
and physically in portable gray map (PGM) format.

2.2. Preprocessing
Image preprocessing is necessary to improve the quality of the image and to remove the
unwanted noise from mammogram images, which allows improving the accuracy of segmentation
results. For this reason, 2D-median filter [11], is applied in this work. The method is called semi-
automatic because of the need of selection of ROI by an expert.
We have taken a square region of area 174x174 pixels as the ROI for this study, the value
174 is chosen in consultation with the radiologist because it is the radius of the largest mass present
in the database [12].

2.3. Fuzzy C-Means Clustering
Fuzzy C-Means Clustering (FCM) algorithm was first introduced by Dunn [13] in 1973 and
improved by Bezdek [14] in 1981. This algorithm is one of the most commonly used unsupervised
pattern recognition approaches for tumor segmentation [15]. In the Fuzzy c-means, each image pixel
has certain membership degree associated with each cluster centroid. These membership degrees
have values between 0 and 1. FCM based on optimizing the following objective function (1):
∑ ∑ ( ) (1)
( ( ))
∑ ( ( ))
(2)
∑
∑
(3)
Where m >1 is the fuzzy index, n is the total number of pixels in image, is the membership degree
of k the pixel to the centroid . ‖ ‖ is the distance between and The function
J (1) is optimized with an iterative function to achieve fuzzy partitioning and the elements of the
membership matrix and the cluster center is updated and is given by (2) and (3).
2.4. Basic Idea
As previously mentioned, the estimation of the optimal number of clusters often affects the
performance and efficiency of the Fuzzy c-means algorithm in image segmentation. For this reason,
the proposed methodology aims to provide a solution to overcome the sensitivity of the Fuzzy c -
means to the clusters number in mammogram images segmentation by finding a range of
appropriate pixels (The input FCM), where application of fuzzy c-means algorithm within this range
can produce two clusters only as output, one of them represents the breast tumor. The first limit of
the appropriate range is defined by the maximum gray level (MG) because the abnormal lesions in
mammography images characterized by high-intensity values compared to other regions of the

breast. While, an optimal threshold (Opt), represents the second limit of this range.
To find an optimal threshold (Opt), we have used a decrement operator (P) and a threshold
testing (Tt) initialized by Tt=MG – P. For each iteration the set of pixels existing inside of the range
[Tt-MG], should be used as input of FCM, then it subject to clustering, after that, we compute the
percentage of output data in each cluster (cluster_1, cluster_2), and the set of pixels unclassified
(outside of the range). The basic idea of decrement threshold is to increase the amount of pixels
(input data) which subject to clustering, thus finding different results of output clusters depending on
the input data, from these results we can accurately determine an appropriate threshold.

In observing the evolution of output data from cluster_1 and cluster_2 during the process of
threshold test decrementing, we can distinguish two kinds of results. The first case is illustrated in
figure 5. (a) and (b) shows an increase and strong growth at the cluster_1 level, followed by a
sudden decrease. In contrast, the cluster_2 that represent the masses, begin to grow by a low
increase followed by a sudden sharp increase. The sudden change in the evolution of the cluster
happens at the same point of threshold test (crucial point), this point represents an optimal threshold
of segmentation. So, we can use the following formula to find an appropriate threshold.
= , = . // , are cluster_1 and cluster_2.
// are tw o successive points fromthe curve of
clusters evolution in process of decrementing.
// optimal threshold.
// : are the gradients of , .
The second case is illustrated in figure 5.(c), it can be noted that there is an increase
homogeneous followed by fixed evolution at the cluster_1 level and a similar increase with a stronger
rate after a few iterations at the cluster_2 level, followed by fixed evolution. In contrast with the
previous situation, in this case, all pixels are used as input data to segment the mass from ROI. So,
this situation is achieved when:

Choosing a high value of decrement operator (P) gives divergent thresholds for testing
whereas many values have been exceeded, this divergence influences on the accuracy of threshold
optimal. On the other hand, when the parameter takes a low value, so we have a long time to
perform the process of segmentation, for this reason, and after many tests with several images in the
database MIAS, we obtained good results with P= 5.The morphological operation “area open”
applied, to retain only the biggest region which represents the mass and removes all other regions.

3. Experiment Results
In this work, the proposed method is tested by using a set of 21 digitized mammograms
contain 22 masses taken from MIAS database. Our system was implemented in Java 8.0 using the
Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API. The process of extracting the masses from ROIs achieved without
user intervention.
To evaluate the method all masses contours are manually marked by one of three
radiologists (one ground truth agreed by three radiologists in the same examination session) from El
Jadida hospital, in Morocco, based on the visual criteria.

The overlap indicates how much the mass boundary delineated by an algorithm intersects
with the mass boundary delineated by radiologists. The sensitivity measure indicates the probability
that pixels are classified among the diseases (TP).The specificity measure indicates the probability
that the pixels are classified among the non-disease (TN). Accuracy indicates the ratio of correctly
classified pixels to the ROI.

4. Conclusion
It is often difficult to extract a tumor from normal breast tissues by radiologists in
mammogram images, because of their ambiguous margins and subtle appearance. In this paper, we
have proposed a semi-automatic segmentation using FCM where the number of clusters is known
without estimation. The input of FCM is a set of pixels taken from a range limited by maximum gray
level and a threshold; these pixels represent the set of data which will allow us to get two clusters
only, one of them represents the tumor with high accuracy. The results obtained demonstrate the
efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed method.
