Yaareb E. Ahmed — 2024-07-02

In this study, Kirkuk and its surrounding areas are evaluated to determine whether solar energy can be utilized for irrigation. PV panels create their own power (300 W). A meter is used to measure the depth of a well (h) (60, 70, and 80 m). Graphics demonstrating the link between solar radiation, angle of solar radiation, and sun brightness in each month were generated using data from Iraq's Meteorological Organization and Seismology. Graphs depicted the volume flow rate at each depth. A study found that using PV panels to generate power increased volume flow rate, in addition to being more efficient throughout the day and in the summer (summer season). The depth of the well and the rate of flow are inversely proportional to one another. Because the flow rate of the system is suitable for most crops grown in the agricultural area of the city, solar energy generated by a photovoltaic (PV) panel may be used for irrigation in Kirkuk.

RNN-Based Framework for IoT Healthcare Security for Improving Anomaly Detection and System Integrity

S. Rajaprakash — 2024-10-11

The rapid rise of the Internet of Things greatly benefited the healthcare sector by opening up new ways of monitoring patients and ingeniously collecting data on disease management. However, this increased connectivity and health system data interchange introduce many critical security vulnerabilities that are more likely to discredit highly sensitive patient information along with system integrity. The paper investigates only one critical IoT health care security issue, for which a new security framework based on RNNs was used to investigate enhancements in the threat detection and response. This approach modelled network traffic and device behavior sequentially for anomaly and potential breach detection using RNNs. Hence, we introduce the RNN-based model combined with an inclusive security architecture, including data encryption, mechanisms of authentication, and monitoring tools in real time. Experimental results prove that our RNN-based framework significantly improves malicious activity detection and reduces false positives compared to traditional security solutions. The proposed model would provide a strong, scalable, and adaptable security solution tailored to the IoT healthcare environment dynamics. These findings could indicate how RNNs can enhance security in IoTs and provide new ways in which better and more secure healthcare systems can be developed.

George Benneh Mensah — 2024-03-27

Objective: This analysis evaluates whether Ghana’s Food and Drugs Authority Act provides adequate statutory basis and policy tools for the medical regulatory authority to evaluate risks and oversee artificial intelligence (AI) based software devices, given complexities of AI technology.

Methods: Case examples of medical AI systems and international regulatory issues establish current challenges for regulators. Specific sections of the Act are analysed regarding definitions, requirements for safety and efficacy evidence, guidelines for changes to approved devices, and post-market powers.

Results and Conclusions: Current law does not provide explicit provisions to require transparency into AI systems’ decision-making or continuous monitoring of real-world performance. However added clauses on privacy and cybersecurity demonstrate a policy precedent for regulating complex technologies.

Recommendations: Updates should enable differentiated evaluation approach based on risk-tiers. Powers for inspecting algorithmic logic require expansion to address AI opacity.

Novelty and Significance: This represents the first analysis situating medical AI governance within Ghanaian statutes. Stress-testing decades old policy structures against emerging technology risks is both scientifically novel and significant for public health oversight.

System Development and Assessment For Road Vehicles Speed Detection Using GSM

M.Sahaya Sheela — 2024-06-15

In metro cities, cars are not allowed to exceed the displayed speed limit. However, many drivers still choose to speed, which is a major contributing factor to accidents. To address this issue, an easy-to-use road speed check system has been implemented to automatically detect traffic crashes in smart cities. This system uses a photovoltaic (PV) input power supply source, which captures the light emitted by the sun on solar panels and converts it into energy. In addition, the system utilizes an IR sensor to measure the speed of vehicles by detecting their distance and time. The infrared sensor detects a car in front of it, allowing for the calculation of time. A proximity sensor is also used to detect the speed of vehicles, regardless of their material configuration. The ESP8266 interface camera is used to capture live images in traffic, which are then transmitted to a specific IP address. Furthermore, the GSM Communication Device allows for the transmission of vehicle speed information through digital cellular communications, such as GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications). The output of this system accurately reflects real-world traffic data and has been tested through a comparison examination of individual speed measurements

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Machine Learning-Based Intrusion Detection in Multi-Cloud Environments

Hussein Jawad Kadhim AL Masoodi — 2024-09-15

In the dynamic landscape of cloud computing, multi-cloud environments have emerged as the prevalent ones due to offering a host of advantages including redundancy, flexibility, and increased security. These multi-cloud environments can, however, be vulnerable to stealthy cyber-attacks, thereby making it a challenging job to find efficient intrusion detection systems (IDS).

The efficiency of the Machine Learning-based Intrusion Detection System in multi-cloud environments has been evaluated using a 1-D Convolutional Neural Network to classify network traffic based on the UNSW-NB15 dataset. The dataset included a wide variety of network features, and it was decided that it could be used directly after converting the categorical variables into their numerical forms and scaling them with MinMaxScaler.

This was used for training and testing the 1D-CNN model, which had attained an accuracy of 84.02% during training and 82.79% on validation. Further, the performance of the model is elicited with metrics that include precision at 80.91%, recall at 82.79%, and an F1-score at 81.28%, showing its capability in identifying network intrusions effectively.

The small difference between the accuracy of training and validation shows that overfitting was minimal; thus, the model will generalize well when applied to unseen data. This research underlines the possibility of using deep learning techniques, and particularly CNNs, for intrusion detection in complex multi-cloud infrastructures. Probably future work would be optimizing the model through hyperparameter tuning, using additional sources of data, and even exploring much more sophisticated architectures that will further improve the accuracy of intrusion detection.
