A High-Capacity Optical Metro Access Network: Efficiently Recovering Fiber Failures with Robust Switching and Centralized Optical Line Terminal.

This study proposes and presents a new central office (CO) for the optical metro access network (OMAN) with an affordable and distinctive switching system. The CO's foundation is built upon a novel optical multicarrier (OMC) generation technique. This technique provides numerous frequency carriers that are characterized by a high tone-to-noise ratio (TNR) of 40 dB and minimal amplitude excursions. The purpose is to accommodate multiple users at the optical network unit side in the optical metropolitan area network (OMAN). The OMC generation is achieved through a cascaded configuration involving a single phase and two Mach Zehnder modulators without incorporating optical or electrical amplifiers or filters. The proposed OMC is installed in the CO of the OMAN to support the 1.2 Tbps downlink and 600 Gbps uplink transmission, with practical bit error rate (BER) ranges from 10-3 to 10-13 for the downlink and 10-6 to 10-14 for the uplink transmission. Furthermore, in the OMAN's context, optical fiber failure is a main issue. Therefore, we have proposed a possible solution for ensuring uninterrupted communication without any disturbance in various scenarios of main optical fiber failures. This demonstrates how this novel CO can rapidly recover transmission failures through robust switching a and centralized OLT. The proposed system is intended to provide users with a reliable and affordable service while maintaining high-quality transmission rates.

Investigating the Effectiveness of Novel Support Vector Neural Network for Anomaly Detection in Digital Forensics Data.

As criminal activity increasingly relies on digital devices, the field of digital forensics plays a vital role in identifying and investigating criminals. In this paper, we addressed the problem of anomaly detection in digital forensics data. Our objective was to propose an effective approach for identifying suspicious patterns and activities that could indicate criminal behavior. To achieve this, we introduce a novel method called the Novel Support Vector Neural Network (NSVNN). We evaluated the performance of the NSVNN by conducting experiments on a real-world dataset of digital forensics data. The dataset consisted of various features related to network activity, system logs, and file metadata. Through our experiments, we compared the NSVNN with several existing anomaly detection algorithms, including Support Vector Machines (SVM) and neural networks. We measured and analyzed the performance of each algorithm in terms of the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Furthermore, we provide insights into the specific features that contribute significantly to the detection of anomalies. Our results demonstrated that the NSVNN method outperformed the existing algorithms in terms of anomaly detection accuracy. We also highlight the interpretability of the NSVNN model by analyzing the feature importance and providing insights into the decision-making process. Overall, our research contributes to the field of digital forensics by proposing a novel approach, the NSVNN, for anomaly detection. We emphasize the importance of both performance evaluation and model interpretability in this context, providing practical insights for identifying criminal behavior in digital forensics investigations.

Detection of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Computed Tomography Using Association Rules Mining.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is one of the serious strokes of cerebrovascular accidents. There is an approx. 15% probability of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage in all acute cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs). Most spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhages are caused by ruptures of intracranial aneurysms, accounting for about 85% of all occurrences. About 15% of acute cerebrovascular disorders are caused by spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. This illness is mostly caused by brain/spinal arteriovenous malformations, extracranial aneurysms, and hypertension. Computed tomography (CT) scan is the common diagnostic modality to evaluate SAH, but it is very difficult to identify the abnormality. Thus, automatic detection of SAH is required to recognize the early signs and symptoms of SAH and to provide appropriate therapeutic intervention and treatment. In this article, the gray-level cooccurrence matrix (GLCM) is used to extract useful features from CT images. Then, the New Association Classification Frequent Pattern (NCFP-growth) algorithm is applied, which is based on association rules. Then, it is compared with FP-growth methods with association rules and FP-growth methods without association rules. The experimental results indicate that the suggested approach outperforms in terms of classification accuracy. The proposed approach equates to a 95.2% accuracy rate compared to the conventional data mining algorithm.
