This requires selection of effective web contents from the origin server (OS) for replication on surrogate servers. In this work, optimizing content replication techniques named Circular Replication among Neighbor Surrogate Servers (CRANSS) is proposed. This technique considers access level of surrogate servers (SS) based on their association with neighbor SS for contents replication decision also CRANSS evaluates the access levels of surrogate servers based on their association with neighboring SS. It also allows for strategic content replication decisions and considers storage capacity of SS and requests pattern of end-users. For evaluation the proposed technique, Network simulator — ns-2 used, and 10 surrogate servers (SS) with one origin server (OS) were set. The results of CRANSS are compared with random, round-robin and popularity-based methods.

Current advances in AI, particularly in Deep Learning (DL) methods have shown immense possibilities to analyze medical images, including MRI. However, the quality of the MRI images significantly impact the overall accuracy of the classification framework. To tackle this issue, we investigated the effect of various Interpolation Techniques (IT) on enhancing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) image quality, including Nearest Neighbour IT, Bilinear IT, Bicubic IT, and Lanczos IT. Furthermore, we employed Transfer Learning to leverage pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) architectures, specifically DenseNet201. We proposed a modified DenseNet201 model by adding additional layers and extracting features from the interpolated brain MRI images. We used two publicly available brain tumor datasets. Our experimental results illustrated that the combination of Lanczos IT and fine-tuned DenseNet201 attained the highest accuracy of 99.21% and 99.60% in Dataset-1 and Dataset-2, respectively, for brain tumor classification.

The fluid flow is expressed by the partial differential equations (PDEs) which are then converted to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by mean of similarity variables. Both the IRPSM-Padé and DTM-Padé methods are tested at [3,3] and [6,6] Padé approximants. Tables and Figures are used to examine the outcomes and show the consistency and accuracy of both approaches. The outcomes of IRPSM-Padé [3,3] and [6,6] with the same order of approximations closely match the outcomes of DTM-Padé [3,3] and [6,6] using Padé approximants. The significant degree of agreement between the two methods indicates that IRPSM-Padé and DTM-Padé handle the fluid flow problem in a comparable manner. The findings of the IRPSM-Padé and DTM-Padé methods show a strong degree of agreement, indicating the accuracy and dependability of the more recent technique (IRPSM-Padé). The obtained CPU time shows that the DTM consistently perform better that IRPSM in terms of computational efficiency. The total CPU time for IRPSM is nearly three-times greater than that of DTM, indicating that IRPSM demands more computational effort. The recorded times accurately reflect the computational efficiency of IRPSM and DTM because the Padé approximation simply improves the results rationalization and has no influence on CPU time. The residual errors analysis demonstrates that the IRPSM-Padé technique produces exceptionally precise approximations, with errors decreasing as the Padé order increases.
