For diagnosis, the study used CT scans from the Lung Image Database Consortium and the LIDC-IDRI dataset. Noise reduction with a Gaussian Smoothing (GS) Filter and contrast enhancement were part of the preprocessing. With a Dual-path Multi-scale Attention Fusion Module (DualMAF) and a Multi-scale Normalized Channel Attention Module (MNCA), the study presented the LNS-DualMAGNet model for lung nodule segmentation. These modules improve interdependence across channels and semantic understanding by utilizing novel approaches such as Depthwise Separable Convolutions and attention mechanisms. For increased performance, the model also incorporates DSConv and a Resnet34 block. The Dung Beetle Optimization Algorithm (DBOA) was used for tuning the hyperparameter of the proposed classifier. Findings indicated that the proposed model performed better than the existing approaches, attaining a 0.99 accuracy and DSC, indicating its potential to enhance lung nodule segmentation for clinical diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":14412,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Technovation","volume":"21 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140493815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The variability of the climate and the resulting problems with urbanization threaten the availability of water resources, especially in less developed countries like Ethiopia. Thus, the main objective of this study is showing the necessary to determine the amount of water needed in advance, in order to comply with the availability of water resources within a specified future period under different scenarios. Our indicator-based approach used a multicriteria decision-making technique. Accordingly, several important variables were considered, including climatological, anthropological, demographic, socioeconomic, and economic variables, in addition to water engineering-related factors (e.g. Water losses). The method also considered a number of factors, such as unexpected and extreme temperature changes, and forecasting factors studied by the Ethiopian Ministry of Water and Energy. The projected population in the subbasin is estimated at 2.52 million, so the total projected water supply demand i.e., for domestic, non-domestic, industrial, commercial, public, and institutional is approximately 126.53 MCM/yr by 2050. Our results revealed how changes in both climatic and socioeconomic factors strongly influence future water resource system performance, and this will help the water services provider better prioritize the refurbishment of existing infrastructure and investment in new infrastructure, and more importantly, manage the subbasin effectively by introducing resilient adaptation options.","PeriodicalId":14412,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Technovation","volume":"37 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140495984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, cucumber, a key salad ingredient known for its health benefits, is susceptible to various diseases such as water mold, bacterial wilt, angular leaf spot, anthracnose, and powdery mildew. These diseases not only affect the quality of cucumbers but also significantly reduce their yield. Early detection of these diseases is crucial for successful cultivation, but traditional manual methods of disease identification by farmers or diagnosticians are time-consuming and prone to misidentification. To address these challenges, we explore advanced artificial intelligence techniques. We implement and compare various machine learning algorithms, including ResNet, AlexNet, and VGG-16, for disease classification in cucumbers. However, these methods often struggle with issues such as noise, irrelevant features, and the generation of pertinent characteristics. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel approach using a GLCM (Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix) feature extraction method combined with a Random Forest classifier. This new algorithm aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of disease detection. Our dataset comprises four distinct categories: Healthy, Anthracnose, Aphids, and CYSDV. It is sourced from diverse platforms, including online repositories like kaggle and direct collection from cucumber farms. The initial phase of our methodology involves noise reduction by converting images into the LAB color space and isolating specific regions using the k-means clustering algorithm. Subsequently, we extract texture features from the diseased leaf images using the GLCM algorithm, and classification is performed using the Random Forest model. Comparative analysis shows that our proposed Random Forest algorithm outperforms previous models like LGBM (Light Gradient Boosting Machine) and QSVM (Quantum-Support Vector Machine) in predicting disease presence in cucumber plants with higher accuracy rate of 98.62%, Precision 98.77%, Recall 98.48% and also F1 Score 98.62%.","PeriodicalId":14412,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Technovation","volume":"78 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139613003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wildfires are one of the factors contributing to the extinction of rare flora and wildlife that serve to maintain our planet's ecological balance. In this paper, a comparative analysis of various machine learning classifier models for predicting forest fires was undertaken using two separate datasets. The suggested system's processing is dependent on a few characteristics such as temperature, humidity, oxygen, and wind. Several machine learning classification techniques, including logistic regression, support vector classifier, decision tree, k neighbors and random forest, were used in this study. For further optimization of the model, K-fold cross validation method and hyperparameter tuning were implemented. The system reveals Support Vector Machine as the best strategy for the forest fire dataset, with 96.88% accuracy.

In data-poor environments and topographically complicated areas like the Ghba subbasin in the headwaters of the Nile River, the function of hydrological models is crucial. The primary goal of this study is to use the WEAP model to simulate the hydrology of the Ghba basin. This is because recent hydrological behaviour has changed significantly and resulted in a serious water deficit. The minimal satisfactory performance limit for the monthly stream flow variable was strongly attained by the multi-variable calibration scenario (R2 = 0.82, NSE = 0.82, IA= 0.80 RSR = 0.87 and PBIAS = 9 % for calibration scenario; and R2 = 0.78, NSE = 0.81, IA= 0.70 RSR = 0.80 and PBIAS = 11.5 % for validation scenario). Evapotranspiration makes up 63.4% of the water balance, according to the model simulation, while surface runoff, interflow, baseflow and groundwater recharge accounting for 11.1 %, 11.8%, 5.4% and 8.3 %, respectively. The simulated average annual streamflow at the subbasin outlet is 16.33 m3/s. The simulated monthly minimum flow occurs in January with an average flow of 1.78 m3/s and a coefficient of dispersion of 0.45. Maximum flows occur in July and August, with an average flow of 53.57 m3/s and a coefficient of dispersion of 0.19. The main rainy season was shown to have a larger spatial distribution of simulated runoff, and the average annual recharge value is 53.5 mm. The study's conclusions indicated that both surface water harvesting and groundwater extraction might be used for reliable water distribution to the subbasin's continuously increasing sectoral water demand.","PeriodicalId":14412,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Technovation","volume":"31 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135873130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is primarily due to the lack of the necessary sensors, as well as the corresponding software. Since the complete replacement of production equipment is very expensive, the task is to create separate monitoring systems. They must be able to integrate into the necessary parts of the production process. And they should also be cheap.

Intelligent Transportation Systems are the first mandatory requirements for any smart city. Researchers are vigorously working on ITSs for smart cities and so VANETs have received a lot of attention. In VANETs, Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) message transmissions are carried out using wireless access technologies like IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609 WAVE family of standards. The crucial challenge in the implementation of VANETs involves the task of deciding the routing protocol because unlike MANETs, handover in VANETs is extremely high. In this paper, a novel routing technique, One Caption for 3 Nodes (1C3N) algorithm is proposed. This algorithm is implemented along with other topology-based existing routing protocols for the implementation of VANETs in the Coimbatore-Urban Area (Indian Smart City). The performance evaluation is carried out by comparing metrics like goodput, Overhead, Packet delivery ratio (PDR), Packet loss ratio (PLR) and end-to-end delay for four existing VANET routing protocols. The results show that a proper combination of packet loss model with routing protocol enhances the goodput and reduces the overhead for a fixed VANET. It is observed that the proposed 1C3N routing technique provides 60-65% better goodput than the other four algorithms.","PeriodicalId":14412,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Technovation","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135096555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
