A Digital Twin Framework in Manufacturing Systems with a Focus on Energy Consumption

We have developed a framework for integrating digital twins into older CNC machines, focusing on monitoring their electrical energy consumption. The digital twin’s virtual component utilizes discrete event simulation software in a digital manufacturing environment. Our goal with this proposal is to promote greater sustainability in manufacturing systems.

Spatial Characteristics of CA: A Narrative into San Francisco

This study delves into the spatial characteristics of housing prices within California, with a specific focus on San Francisco. We explore various models to predict housing prices based on different feature sets, including coordinate and non-coordinate attributes. Through extensive analysis, we find that incorporating geographic coordinates significantly enhances the predictive accuracy of housing prices. Utilizing a neural network model, we achieve nearly 100% accuracy in predicting the quartile of median housing prices, underscoring the complexity and influence of location-specific features. Finally, we utilized i-SLFN algorithm for developing a precise price prediction model and describing communities characteristics.

An Interpretable Transformer-Based Approach to Classify Malaria From Blood Cell Images

Malaria is a disease that can be fatal, and it is spread through the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. The life of the sufferer is put in jeopardy as a result of the presence of numerous plasmodium parasites, which spread throughout their blood cells. Malaria can potentially be fatal if it is not treated within the first few stages of the disease. A well-known method for diagnosing malaria, microscopy involves taking blood samples from the patient, calculating the number of parasites, and counting the victim’s red blood cells. Nevertheless, the procedure of microscopy takes a lot of time, and, in certain circumstances, it can produce an incorrect result. When compared to the more conventional approach of microscopic examination, the recent successes of deep learning (DL) in the field of medical diagnosis make it quite conceivable to reduce the expenses associated with the diagnosis while simultaneously improving overall detection accuracy. This study proposes a transformer-based DL technique for diagnosing the malaria parasite using blood cell images. An explainable AI technique called Grad-CAM was applied in order to determine which aspects of an image the proposed model paid significantly more attention to in comparison to the other aspects of the image through saliency mapping. This was done in order to demonstrate the usefulness of the models. According to the findings of this research, the performance of the vision transformer and the VGG16 are identical. Both models have reached an accuracy score of approximately 96%, which is very impressive.

Converting Remote Islanded Communities into a 100% Renewable Energy Based Grid Incorporating Solar Photovoltaic and Battery Energy Storage

Requirement for 100% energy from renewable resources in remote power systems with high levels of irradiation resource available. Also, not totally reliant on variable renewable energy sources alone for all energy supply.

Steganalysis For Still Images With LSB Steganography Using Machine Learning Algorithms

This paper investigated the application of machine learning for steganalysis using a feature-based dataset extracted from still images with the Least Significant Bit (LSB) steganography. We evaluated several models and found that Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) achieve the highest classification accuracy within practical training times. The accuracy, however, is limited to 93% due to constraints within the dataset. To overcome this barrier, more comprehensive datasets and/or models should be examined in future.

A Mobile App for OpenStack-based Clouds

This is the first mobile application for managing large scale Cloud infrastructures based on the openStack technology. This underpins the national Cloud of Australia.

CMS: A Consortium Management Solution for Decentralized Identifier Resolution

In summary, To address the challenges present in the unified resolution process of existing DIDs, the primary contribution of this paper is the proposal of a consortium management scheme for DID universal resolvers, employing blockchain smart contracts and IPFS decentralized storage technologies. This approach aims to decentralize management and enhance the robustness and security of the resolution process.

An Effective Method for Classifying Japanese Honorific

Japanese Keigo known as honorific, is a way to reflect social status, intimacy, and the relationships among speakers, listeners, and other participants in a conversation. It is a very special and important language phenomenon that conveys respect and politeness based on the social status of the speaker and listener and their relationships. Unlike many other languages, Japanese has various forms of honorific expressions, and these honorific forms change depending on social group relations and occasion fields.
