Modified Gray Wolf Feature Selection and Machine Learning Classification for Wireless Sensor Network Intrusion Detection
Authors: Shakya Subarna
Published: June 2021

The ability of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and their functions are degraded or eliminated by means of intrusion. To overcome this issue, this paper presents a combination of machine learning and modified grey wolf optimization (MLGWO) algorithm for developing an improved intrusion detection system (IDS). The best number of wolves are found by running tests with multiple wolves in the model. In the WSN environment, the false alarm rates are reduced along with the reduction in processing time while improving the rate of detection and the accuracy of intrusion detection with a decrease in the number of resultant features. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed model and to compare it with the existing techniques, the NSL KDD’99 dataset is used. In terms of detection rate, false alarm rate, execution time, total features and accuracy the evaluation and comparison is performed. From the evaluation results, it is evident that higher the number of wolves, the performance of the MLGWO model is enhanced.

Background: In the last two decades, one of the critical factors of assisted reproductive technology (ART)has been identified as ovarian capacity. Consequently, ovarian capacity markers have evolved to be part ofdiagnostic testing conducted regularly before IVF. Several predictor factors, such as antral follicle count(AFC), is one of several factors to predict ovarian capacity. These diagnostic procedures and tests have thepurpose of identifying women at high-risk patient who respond poorly toward controlled ovarian stimulationthroughout the IVF cycle. The ovarian response toward ovulation stimulation within this research was assessedby peak estradiol (E2) serum levels and the total number of mature follicles. There is no clear relationshipbetween AFC and levels of estradiol serum and the number of mature ovarian follicles to identify womenwho respond poorly. Methods: This study is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Samples weretaken from secondary data of medical records using the total sampling method on women undergoing the IVFprogram at the Graha Amerta fertility clinic of General Hospital of Dr. Soetomo from January 1 to December31 2018 according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The AFC variables, estradiol serum levels, and thenumber of mature ovarian follicles in the study were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation. Conclusion:There is a significant relationship between antral follicle count (AFC) with the levels of estradiol serum andthe number of mature follicles in women undergoing the IVF program.

Published: June 2021

In the male genital tract, spermatozoa and leukocytes, including neutrophils and macrophages, generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS is involved in the regulation of sperm functions, such as acrosome reactions and capacitation. Infections result in excessive ROS production, resulting in a ‘oxidative burst’ of neutrophils/macrophages as a first-line defense mechanism. During infection, the imbalance of pro-and antioxidants favoring the former results in oxidative stress that impairs the sperm functions mentioned In addition to motility and fertilization. ROS produced during testis and epididymis infections is especially harmful to sperm due to longer contact time and lack of antioxidant protection. Only very high numbers of ROS-producing leukocytes are harmful to sperm functions in the final ejaculate.

Published: June 2021

Learners may obtain high scores while others obtain low scores, the reason for this is due to the failure to take into account the individual differences in learning between members of the same group through technical performance, which appear when applying the educational units, as well as their disparity in the readiness to accept and learn a certain skill, so all learners are subject to the same educational unit and the same repetitions and periods of rest, which leads to the emergence of differences in the ability to learn and performance, but learning by a generative learning strategy works to take individual differences between members of the same group and divide these groups into smaller groups according to the error in technical performance and increase the number of iterations, which helps the learner to reach the degree of automated perfection in the optimal technical performance. Because the generative learning strategy takes into account the time of work and rest between each iteration and another or between a group of iterations, and this is what made the researcher interested in studying this problem resulting from the use of old traditional strategies in learning that make it difficult to accept and learn to apply the curriculum required to learn from the learner.

Due to their exceptional physical properties, graphene nanomaterials have gained a great deal of interest in recent years for their application to state-of-the-art technology. On the other hand, nanotoxicity of graphene materials has also rapidly become a major concern, especially in the field of occupational health. There is a lack of evidence that such graphene nanomaterials influence the organs of the male reproductive system. Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the effect of Graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) on mice body weight, reproductive organs weight and sperm quality, as well as certain reproductive organs injuries, after14 days of treatment with oral gavages of 0.1 ml of 10, 20, and 30 mg/kg of GNPs in male albino mice. The results showed a decrease in animal body weight and certain reproductive organs, as well as a decrease in the proportion of live sperm and the concentration of sperm in the tail of the epididymis and an increase in sperm abnormalities in all treatment relative to the control group. Injuries in the testes and epididymis (head and tail) were shown by histopathological analysis. This study concluded that oral GNPs gavages at various concentrations have a negative effect on the male reproductive system and can affect fertility.
