Integrating machine and deep learning technologies in green buildings for enhanced energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

A green building (GB) is a design idea that integrates environmentally conscious technology and sustainable procedures throughout the building's life cycle. However, because different green requirements and performances are integrated into the building design, the GB design procedure typically takes longer than conventional structures. Machine learning (ML) and other advanced artificial intelligence (AI), such as DL techniques, are frequently utilized to assist designers in completing their work more quickly and precisely. Therefore, this study aims to develop a GB design predictive model utilizing ML and DL techniques to optimize resource consumption, improve occupant comfort, and lessen the environmental effect of the built environment of the GB design process. A dataset ASHARE-884 is applied to the suggested models. An Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is applied, which involves cleaning, sorting, and converting the category data into numerical values utilizing label encoding. In data preprocessing, the Z-Score normalization technique is applied to normalize the data. After data analysis and preprocessing, preprocessed data is used as input for Machine learning (ML) such as RF, DT, and Extreme GB, and Stacking and Deep Learning (DL) such as GNN, LSTM, and RNN techniques for green building design to enhance environmental sustainability by addressing different criteria of the GB design process. The performance of the proposed models is assessed using different evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score. The experiment results indicate that the proposed GNN and LSTM models function more accurately and efficiently than conventional DL techniques for environmental sustainability in green buildings.

These findings highlight the potential of advanced deep learning techniques in enhancing wind energy forecasting accuracy, particularly in challenging desert environments. The hybrid method developed in this study presents a promising direction for improving renewable energy management. This allows for more efficient resource allocation and improves wind resource predictability.

The GAN model demonstrated superior performance, achieving the highest overall accuracy of 0.913 and the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.9285. Integration of the binary bGGO technique for feature selection with the GAN model led to significant improvements in classification performance, with the bGGO-GAN model showing enhanced sensitivity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and F1 score compared to the classical GAN model. The bGGO-GAN model achieved 95% accuracy on a substantial dataset of 627 samples, demonstrating competitive performance against other models in the literature while offering strong generalizability. This study highlights the potential of advanced machine learning techniques and feature selection methods for improving slope stability classification and provides valuable insights for geotechnical engineering applications.

Handover for V2V communication in 5G using convolutional neural networks.

Vehicle communication is one of the most vital aspects of modern transportation systems because it enables real-time data transmission between vehicles and infrastructure to improve traffic flow and road safety. The next generation of mobile technology, 5G, was created to address earlier generations' growing need for high data rates and quality of service issues. 5G cellular technology aims to eliminate penetration loss by segregating outside and inside settings and allowing extremely high transmission speeds, achieved by installing hundreds of dispersed antenna arrays using a distributed antenna system (DAS). Huge multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are accomplished via DASs and huge MIMO systems, where hundreds of dispersed antenna arrays are built. Because deep learning (DL) techniques employ artificial neural networks with at least one hidden layer, they are used in this study for vehicle recognition. They can swiftly process vast quantities of labeled training data to identify features. Therefore, this paper employed the VGG19 DL model through transfer learning to address the task of vehicle detection and obstacle identification. It also proposes a novel horizontal handover prediction method based on channel characteristics. The suggested techniques are designed for heterogeneous networks or horizontal handovers using DL. In the designated surrounding regions of 5G environments, the suggested detection and handover algorithms identified vehicles with a success rate of 97 % and predicted the next station for handover.

Process Optimization of Tinospora cordifolia Extract-Loaded Water in Oil Nanoemulsion Developed by Ultrasound-Assisted Homogenization.

Nanoemulsions are gaining interest in a variety of products as a means of integrating easily degradable bioactive compounds, preserving them from oxidation, and increasing their bioavailability. However, preparing stable emulsion compositions with the desired characteristics is a difficult task. The aim of this study was to encapsulate the Tinospora cordifolia aqueous extract (TCAE) into a water in oil (W/O) nanoemulsion and identify its critical process and formulation variables, like oil (27-29.4 mL), the surfactant concentration (0.6-3 mL), and sonication amplitude (40% to 100%), using response surface methodology (RSM). The responses of this formulation were studied with an analysis of the particle size (PS), free fatty acids (FFAs), and encapsulation efficiency (EE). In between, we have studied a fishbone diagram that was used to measure risk and preliminary research. The optimized condition for the formation of a stable nanoemulsion using quality by design was surfactant (2.43 mL), oil concentration (27.61 mL), and sonication amplitude (88.6%), providing a PS of 171.62 nm, FFA content of 0.86 meq/kg oil and viscosity of 0.597 Pa.s for the blank sample compared to the enriched TCAE nanoemulsion with a PS of 243.60 nm, FFA content of 0.27 meq/kg oil and viscosity of 0.22 Pa.s. The EE increases with increasing concentrations of TCAE, from 56.88% to 85.45%. The RSM response demonstrated that both composition variables had a considerable impact on the properties of the W/O nanoemulsion. Furthermore, after the storage time, the enriched TCAE nanoemulsion showed better stability over the blank nanoemulsion, specially the FFAs, and the blank increased from 0.142 to 1.22 meq/kg oil, while TCAE showed 0.266 to 0.82 meq/kg.

An improved deep reinforcement learning routing technique for collision-free VANET.

Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) is an emerging field that employs a wireless local area network (WLAN) characterized by an ad-hoc topology. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) comprise diverse entities that are integrated to establish effective communication among themselves and with other associated services. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) commonly encounter a range of obstacles, such as routing complexities and excessive control overhead. Nevertheless, the majority of these attempts were unsuccessful in delivering an integrated approach to address the challenges related to both routing and minimizing control overheads. The present study introduces an Improved Deep Reinforcement Learning (IDRL) approach for routing, with the aim of reducing the augmented control overhead. The IDRL routing technique that has been proposed aims to optimize the routing path while simultaneously reducing the convergence time in the context of dynamic vehicle density. The IDRL effectively monitors, analyzes, and predicts routing behavior by leveraging transmission capacity and vehicle data. As a result, the reduction of transmission delay is achieved by utilizing adjacent vehicles for the transportation of packets through Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication. The simulation outcomes were executed to assess the resilience and scalability of the model in delivering efficient routing and mitigating the amplified overheads concurrently. The method under consideration demonstrates a high level of efficacy in transmitting messages that are safeguarded through the utilization of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. The simulation results indicate that the IDRL routing approach, as proposed, presents a decrease in latency, an increase in packet delivery ratio, and an improvement in data reliability in comparison to other routing techniques currently available.

The system's efficacy is assessed using various metrics, including accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score. The hyOPTGB model outperformed the other machine learning models, achieving a 95.3% accuracy rate. The authors also compared the hyOPTGB model against other models proposed by authors who used the same dataset.

An Optimized Model Based on Deep Learning and Gated Recurrent Unit for COVID-19 Death Prediction.

The COVID-19 epidemic poses a worldwide threat that transcends provincial, philosophical, spiritual, radical, social, and educational borders. By using a connected network, a healthcare system with the Internet of Things (IoT) functionality can effectively monitor COVID-19 cases. IoT helps a COVID-19 patient recognize symptoms and receive better therapy more quickly. A critical component in measuring, evaluating, and diagnosing the risk of infection is artificial intelligence (AI). It can be used to anticipate cases and forecast the alternate incidences number, retrieved instances, and injuries. In the context of COVID-19, IoT technologies are employed in specific patient monitoring and diagnosing processes to reduce COVID-19 exposure to others. This work uses an Indian dataset to create an enhanced convolutional neural network with a gated recurrent unit (CNN-GRU) model for COVID-19 death prediction via IoT. The data were also subjected to data normalization and data imputation. The 4692 cases and eight characteristics in the dataset were utilized in this research. The performance of the CNN-GRU model for COVID-19 death prediction was assessed using five evaluation metrics, including median absolute error (MedAE), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), and coefficient of determination (R2). ANOVA and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to determine the statistical significance of the presented model. The experimental findings showed that the CNN-GRU model outperformed other models regarding COVID-19 death prediction.

Blind video watermarking scheme for medical video authentication.

Medical video watermarking is one of the beneficial and efficient tools to prohibit important patients' data from illicit enrollment and redistribution. In this paper, a new blind watermarking scheme has been proposed to improve the confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and perceptual quality of a medical video with minimum distortion. The proposed scheme is based on 2D-DWT and dual Hessenberg-QR decomposition, where the input medical video is initially processed into frames. Then, the processed frames are transformed into sub-bands using 2D-DWT, followed by applying Hessenberg-QR decomposition on the selected wavelet HL2 sub-band. The watermark is scrambled via Arnold cat map to raise confidentiality and then concealed in the modified selected features. The watermark is extracted in a fully blind mode without referencing the original video, which reduces the extraction time. The proposed scheme maintained a fundamental tradeoff between robustness and visual imperceptibility compared to existing methods against many commonly encountered attacks. The visual imperceptibility has been evaluated using well-known metrics PSNR, SSIM, Q-index, and histogram analysis. The proposed scheme achieves a high PSNR value of (70.6899 dB) with minimal distortion and a high robustness level with an average NC value of (0.9998) and BER value of (0.0023) while conserving a large payload capacity. The obtained results show superior performance over similar video watermarking methods. The limitation of this scheme is the elapsed time during the embedding process since we utilized dual Hessenberg-QR decomposition. One possible solution to reduce time consumption is simple decompositions like bound-constrained SVM or similar decompositions.

Enhanced Dual Convolutional Neural Network Model Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence of Fault Prioritization for Industrial 4.0.

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly used in corporate security measures to predict the status of assets and suggest appropriate procedures. These programs are also designed to reduce repair time. One way to create an efficient system is to integrate physical repair agents with a computerized management system to develop an intelligent system. To address this, there is a need for a new technique to assist operators in interacting with a predictive system using natural language. The system also uses double neural network convolutional models to analyze device data. For fault prioritization, a technique utilizing fuzzy logic is presented. This strategy ranks the flaws based on the harm or expense they produce. However, the method's success relies on ongoing improvement in spoken language comprehension through language modification and query processing. To carry out this technique, a conversation-driven design is necessary. This type of learning relies on actual experiences with the assistants to provide efficient learning data for language and interaction models. These models can be trained to have more natural conversations. To improve accuracy, academics should construct and maintain publicly usable training sets to update word vectors. We proposed the model dataset (DS) with the Adam (AD) optimizer, Ridge Regression (RR) and Feature Mapping (FP). Our proposed algorithm has been coined with an appropriate acronym DSADRRFP. The same proposed approach aims to leverage each component's benefits to enhance the predictive model's overall performance and precision. This ensures the model is up-to-date and accurate. In conclusion, an AI system integrated with physical repair agents is a useful tool in corporate security measures. However, it needs to be refined to extract data from the operating system and to interact with users in a natural language. The system also needs to be constantly updated to improve accuracy.

A Novel Artificial-Intelligence-Based Approach for Classification of Parkinson's Disease Using Complex and Large Vocal Features.

Parkinson's disease (PD) affects a large proportion of elderly people. Symptoms include tremors, slow movement, rigid muscles, and trouble speaking. With the aging of the developed world's population, this number is expected to rise. The early detection of PD and avoiding its severe consequences require a precise and efficient system. Our goal is to create an accurate AI model that can identify PD using human voices. We developed a transformer-based method for detecting PD by retrieving dysphonia measures from a subject's voice recording. It is uncommon to use a neural network (NN)-based solution for tabular vocal characteristics, but it has several advantages over a tree-based approach, including compatibility with continuous learning and the network's potential to be linked with an image/voice encoder for a more accurate multi modal solution, shifting SOTA approach from tree-based to a neural network (NN) is crucial for advancing research in multimodal solutions. Our method outperforms the state of the art (SOTA), namely Gradient-Boosted Decision Trees (GBDTs), by at least 1% AUC, and the precision and recall scores are also improved. We additionally offered an XgBoost-based feature-selection method and a fully connected NN layer technique for including continuous dysphonia measures, in addition to the solution network. We also discussed numerous important discoveries relating to our suggested solution and deep learning (DL) and its application to dysphonia measures, such as how a transformer-based network is more resilient to increased depth compared to a simple MLP network. The performance of the proposed approach and conventional machine learning techniques such as MLP, SVM, and Random Forest (RF) have also been compared. A detailed performance comparison matrix has been added to this article, along with the proposed solution's space and time complexity.

Using transfer learning and optimized CNN for classification improved the accuracy when the results are compared to recent approaches. Two publicly available datasets are utilized to evaluate the proposed framework, and the average classification accuracy is 97.95%. To ensure the statistical significance and difference between the proposed methodology, additional tests are conducted, such as analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Wilcoxon, in addition to evaluating various statistical analysis metrics. The results of these tests emphasized the effectiveness and statistical difference of the proposed methodology compared to current methods.

Metamaterials have unique physical properties. They are made of several elements and are structured in repeating patterns at a smaller wavelength than the phenomena they affect. Metamaterials' exact structure, geometry, size, orientation, and arrangement allow them to manipulate electromagnetic waves by blocking, absorbing, amplifying, or bending them to achieve benefits not possible with ordinary materials. Microwave invisibility cloaks, invisible submarines, revolutionary electronics, microwave components, filters, and antennas with a negative refractive index utilize metamaterials. This paper proposed an improved dipper throated-based ant colony optimization (DTACO) algorithm for forecasting the bandwidth of the metamaterial antenna. The first scenario in the tests covered the feature selection capabilities of the proposed binary DTACO algorithm for the dataset that was being evaluated, and the second scenario illustrated the algorithm's regression skills. Both scenarios are part of the studies. The state-of-the-art algorithms of DTO, ACO, particle swarm optimization (PSO), grey wolf optimizer (GWO), and whale optimization (WOA) were explored and compared to the DTACO algorithm. The basic multilayer perceptron (MLP) regressor model, the support vector regression (SVR) model, and the random forest (RF) regressor model were contrasted with the optimal ensemble DTACO-based model that was proposed. In order to assess the consistency of the DTACO-based model that was developed, the statistical research made use of Wilcoxon's rank-sum and ANOVA tests.
