This paper presents the design, simulation and realization of a patch antenna for IOT applications. The patch antenna consists of a radiating element printed on one face of a dielectric substrate, when the ground plane is placed on the other face. In this work, two techniques are used to design a miniaturized patch antenna: the set-up of slots on the radiating element and the use of defective ground plane. Also, the slot’s radius and Length of inset point effects on the performances of the antenna is illustrated. All the simulated results are performed with FEKO, a solver based on a Moments Method and measurement is made using Vector Network Analyzer Anritsu MS2026C. The propose antenna resonates in three frequency bands 3.91, 4.86 and 5.16GHz for different characteristics such as radiation pattern, gain, return loss, which makes it suitable for many wireless communication applications such as IoT applications.
F-MIM: Feature-based Masking Iterative Method to Generate the Adversarial Images against the Face Recognition Systems(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Numerous face recognition systems employ deep learning techniques to identify individuals in public areas such as shopping malls, airports, and other high-security zones. However, adversarial attacks are susceptible to deep learning-based systems. The adversarial attacks are intentionally generated by the attacker to mislead the systems. These attacks are imperceptible to the human eye. In this paper, we proposed a feature-based masking iterative method (F-MIM) to generate the adversarial images. In this method, we utilize the features of the face to misclassify the models. The proposed approach is based on a black-box attack technique where the attacker does not have the information related to target models. In this black box attack strategy, the face landmark points are modified using the binary masking technique. In the proposed method, we have used the momentum iterative method to increase the transferability of existing attacks. The proposed method is generated using the ArcFace face recognition model that is trained on the Labeled Face in the Wild (LFW) dataset and evaluated the performance of different face recognition models namely ArcFace, MobileFace, MobileNet, CosFace and SphereFace under the dodging and impersonate attack. The F-MIM attack is outperformed in comparison to the existing attacks based on Attack Success Rate evaluation metrics and further improves the transferability.

حوزههای تخصصی:
This paper gives a performance analysis of multiple vote classifiers based on meta-classification methods for estimating the risk of diabetes. The study's dataset includes a number of biological and clinical risk variables that can result in the development of diabetes. In the analysis, classifiers like Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Machines, and Artificial Neural Networks were used. In the study, each classifier was trained and evaluated separately, and the outcomes were compared to those attained using meta-classification methods. Some of the meta-classifiers used in the analysis included Majority Voting, Weighted Majority Voting, and Stacking. The effectiveness of each classifier was evaluated using a number of measures, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and Area under the Curve (AUC). The results show that meta-classification techniques often outperform solo classifiers in terms of prediction precision. Random Forest and Gradient Boosting, two different classifiers, had the highest accuracy, while Logistic Regression performed the worst. The best performing meta-classifier was stacking, which achieved an accuracy of 84.25%. Weighted Majority Voting came in second (83.86%) and Majority Voting came in third (82.95%).

Application of Grouped MCDM Technique for Ranking and Selection of Laptops in the Current Scenario of COVID-19(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
In the modern technological age, laptops are widely used for doing various day-to-day activities and getting updates all around us. The COVID-19 situation is playing a vital role in a dynamic shift in buyer behavior with multiple personal computing devices at home. Prioritizing and selecting appropriate laptop devices is difficult because there are several options of laptops that are available in the market, and these are equipped with the latest features to do gaming, designing, attending online classes, and performing office and other everyday tasks. There are multiple selection criteria that are complex in nature. MCDM (Multiple Criteria Decision Making) approaches can handle and analyze these complicated criteria. By using MCDM techniques, decision-making can be done to select the top-ranked alternative from among the available alternatives. This paper exhibits a group of two MCDM techniques; Best Worst Method (BWM) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which have been used to evaluate relative weights of considered conflicting criteria such as brand, price, storage capacity, RAM, processor, weight, touch screen, Bluetooth, and screen size, and these weights are used in the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) for ranking and selecting the best product of laptops.
Efficient NetB3 for Enhanced Lung Cancer Detection: Histopathological Image Study with Augmentation(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Cancer is an abnormal cell growth that occurs uncontrollably within the human body and has the potential to spread to other organs. One of the primary causes of mortality and morbidity for people is cancer, particularly lung cancer. Lung cancer is one of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs), causing 71% of all deaths globally, and is the second most common cancer diagnosed worldwide. The effectiveness of treatment and the survival rate of cancer patients can be significantly increased by early and exact cancer detection. An important factor in specifying the type of cancer is the histopathological diagnosis. In this study, we present a Simple Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and EfficientNetB3 architecture that is both straightforward and efficient for accurately classifying lung cancer from medical images. EfficientnetB3 emerged as the best-performing classifier, acquiring a trustworthy level of precision, recall, and F1 score, with a remarkable accuracy of 100%, and superior performance demonstrates EfficientnetB3’s better capacity for an accurate lung cancer detection system. Nonetheless, the accuracy ratings of 85% obtained by Simple CNN also demonstrated useful categorization. CNN models had significantly lower accuracy scores than the EfficientnetB3 model, but these determinations indicate how acceptable the classifiers are for lung cancer detection. The novelty of our research is that less work is done on histopathological images. However, the accuracy of the previous work is not very high. In this research, our model outperformed the previous result. The results are advantageous for developing systems that effectively detect lung cancer and provide crucial information about the classifier’s efficiency.

AI-WSN: Direction of Arrival Estimation Based on Bee Swarm Optimization for Wireless Sensor Networks(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
An Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique plays the most crucial factor to consider in energy utilization in a wireless sensor network (WSN). AI transforms industrial operations by optimizing the energy consumption in sensor nodes. As a result, it is crucial for improving sensor node location accuracy, particularly in unbalanced or Adhoc environments. Because of this, the purpose of this research is to improve the accuracy of the localization process in locations where sensor nodes encounter barriers or obstacles on a regular basis. The Bees Swarm Optimization (BSO) algorithm is used to segment sensor nodes in order to increase the accuracy of the Direction of Arrival (DoA) estimate between the anchor and unknown node pairs. Even in the presence of unbalanced conditions, the proposed DoA- BSO involving three separate bee colonies can identify plausible anchor nodes as well as segment nodes arranged in clusters. In order to obtain the intended result, the objective function is designed to take into consideration the hops, energy, and transmission distance of the anchor and unknown node pairs, among other factors. The studies are carried out in a large-scale WSN using sensor node pairs in order to determine the precision with which the DoA-BSO can be located. When comparing DoA-BSO to conventional approaches, the findings of the meta-heuristic algorithm show that it improves the accuracy and segmentation of nodes significantly

حوزههای تخصصی:
Multicasting is an important operation in software-defined wireless sensor networks (SDWSNs). In this operation, a group of nodes specified by their unique node identification numbers is supposed to receive the same multicast message at the approximately same time, if possible. These nodes are termed as multicast members or multicast destinations. They need not be physically close to one another to form a group. The present article proposes an energy-efficient scheduler exclusively for multicast operation in the SDWSN environment. Based on the advantages provided by underlying network architecture, a router can efficiently schedule multicast packets belonging to various multicast sessions. This promotes greenery in the network and significantly increases the packet delivery ratio. These claims are supported and justified by the experimental results presented in this paper. As far as the authors know, there is no multicast packet scheduler in the literature of wireless sensor networks or WSN. SDWSN is a more advanced version, and no multicast protocol has yet been proposed for these kinds of networks. Therefore, while designing the present fuzzy scheduler, we kept in mind all standard multicast protocols in the WSN environment.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Prediction using Dense Residual Models(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Net Asset Value (NAV) has long been a key performance metric for mutual fund investors. Due to the considerable fluctuation in the NAV value, it is risky for investors to make investment decisions. As a result, accurate and reliable NAV forecasts can help investors make better decisions and profit. In this research, we have analysed and compared the NAV prediction performance of our proposed deep learning models, such as N-BEATS and NBSL, with the FLANN model in both univariate and multivariate settings for five Indian mutual funds for forecast periods of 15, 20, 45, 63, 126, and 252 days using RMSE, MAPE, and R2 as evaluation metrics. A large forecast horizon was chosen to assess the model's consistency, reliability, and accuracy. The result reveals that the N-BEATS model outperforms the FLANN and NBSL models in the univariate setting for all datasets and all prediction horizons. In a multivariate setting, the outcome demonstrates that the N-BEATS model outperforms the FLANN model across all datasets and prediction horizons. The result also shows that, as the number of forecast days grew, our suggested models, notably N-BEATS, maintained consistency and attained the highest R2 value throughout the longest forecast duration.

Cucumber Leaf Disease Detection and Classification Using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Due to obstruction in photosynthesis, the leaves of the plants get affected by the disease. Powdery mildew is the main disease in cucumber plants which generally occurs in the middle and late stages. Cucumber plant leaves are affected by various diseases, such as powdery mildew, downy mildew and Alternaria leaf spot, which ultimately affect the photosynthesis process; that’s why it is necessary to detect diseases at the right time to prevent the loss of plants. This paper aims to identify and classify diseases of cucumber leaves at the right time using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). In this work, the Deep-CNN model based on disease classification is used to enhance the performance of the ResNet50 model. The proposed model generates the most accurate results for cucumber disease detection using data enhancement based on a different data set. The data augmentation method plays an important role in enhancing the characteristics of cucumber leaves. Due to the requirements of the large number of parameters and the expensive computations required to modify standard CNNs, the pytorch library was used in this work which provides a wide range of deep learning algorithms. To assess the model accuracy large quantity of four types of healthy and diseased leaves and specific parameters such as batch size and epochs were compared with various machine learning algorithms such as support vector machine method, self-organizing map, convolutional neural network and proposed method in which the proposed DCNN model gave better results.
Networking to learn by learning to network: Social networking among students(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
The positive effect of social networking, particularly social networking sites (SNSs), on improving the process of learning has been acknowledged by many recent types of research. The relationship between features and characteristics of SNSs and the development of students' social networking was of interest to past researchers. As social networking is primarily perceived as intelligent thought and action in both real and virtual environments, there seems to be a need for a qualitative exploration of the influential factors of students' social networking. The study has been conducted using the case study method to look at the identified factors retrieved from previous research. A semi-structured in-depth interview was used to investigate the viewpoints and experiences of socially proactive and successful students at Iranian universities. Findings explain students' social networking due to three factors categorized as central, causal, and contextual. The personal learning system has a critical position among the various factors affecting students' social networking. Therefore, despite the facilitating role of social networking in promoting the learning process, students' social networking would be useless without utilizing a personal learning system. We can see a dynamic and interactive cycle of learning and social networking in the university context. The research has been founded on critical consideration of previously studied factors affecting social networking that were mainly limited to online technologies according to qualitative exploration. As a result of this research, different learning and social networking levels regarding diverse meaning, function, and complexity were identified.

Impact of Review, Reviewer and Hotel Characteristics on Ewom Helpfulness: An Empirical Study(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Electronic word of mouth (eWOM) has been gaining popularity pertaining to its numerous benefits and ability to be applied in various fields. It helps consumers in making informed decisions and aids service providers in delivering an enhanced service or product. Despite all these benefits, dealing with the huge amounts of eWOM is a consistent problem. eWOM helpfulness comes handy in order to address this issue. In this study, we utilize 16699 hotels related eWOM written by 1099 reviewers which are collected from TripAdvisor.com. Our main objective is to analyze which factors impact eWOM helpfulness and how. For this purpose, eight unique variables belonging to three different categories are selected (eWOM length, eWOM subjectivity, eWOM polarity, eWOM readability, eWOM recency, hotel rating, reviewer badge and reviewer helpfulness) and are analyzed using econometric modelling. Our findings show that hotel rating as well as reviewer badge and helpfulness enjoy a positive significant relationship with eWOM helpfulness. It also suggests that eWOM length, readability and subjectivity positively influences eWOM helpfulness though eWOM polarity and recency are found to have an inverse relationship with the helpfulness of eWOM. Thus, our study reports that review, hotel and reviewer characteristics impact eWOM helpfulness in different ways. This study is summarized with the discussion of theoretical and practical implications.
Towards Supporting Exploratory Search over the Arabic Web Content: The Case of ArabXplore(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Due to the huge amount of data published on the Web, the Web search process has become more difficult, and it is sometimes hard to get the expected results, especially when the users are less certain about their information needs. Several efforts have been proposed to support exploratory search on the web by using query expansion, faceted search, or supplementary information extracted from external knowledge resources. However, these solutions are not well explored for the general web search in an open-domain setting. In addition, they mostly focus on supporting search in content expressed in English and Latin based languages. In this research, we propose a fully automated approach that aims to support exploratory search over the Arabic web content. It exploits the Arabic version of Wikipedia to extract complementary information that supports visual representation and deeper exploration of the search engine's results. Key Wikipedia entities are extracted from the text snippets produced by the search engine in response to the user's query. Entities are then filtered and ranked by using a novel ranking algorithm that extends the conventional PageRank algorithm. Finally, a graph is built and presented to the user to visually represent highly ranked topics and their relationships. The proposed approach was realized by developing ArabXplore, a system that integrates with the web browser to support the web search process by executing our approach in query time. It was assessed over a dataset of 100 Arabic search queries covering different domains, and results were assessed and rated by human subjects. The underlying ranking algorithm was also compared with the conventional PageRank.
