A Hybrid Meta-Heuristic Algorithm for Application Module Placement in IoT-Fog-Cloud Computing Environment
Authors: Yakubu Ismail Zahradden , Murali M. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In recent years, fog computing has gained significant popularity for its reduced latency (delay), low power consumption, mobility, security and privacy, network bandwidth, and real-time responses. It provides cloud-like services to Internet of Things (IoT) applications at the edge of the network with minimal delay and real-time responses. Fog computing resources are finite, computationally constrained, and powered by battery cells, which require optimal power management. To facilitate the execution of IoT services on fog computing resources, applications are broken down into a group of data-dependent application modules. The application modules communicate and transfer data from one module to another in order to achieve a common goal. With the limitations on computing resource capacity and the rise in demand for these resources for application module processing, there is a need for a robust application module placement strategy. Inefficient application module placement can result in a tremendous hike in latency, a higher completion time, a fast drain on battery cells, and other placement problems. This paper focuses on minimising the average delay, completion time (Makespan time), and energy usage of the fog system while placing the data-dependent modules of the IoT application on resources in the fog layer. To achieve the said objectives, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm based on the Red Deer Algorithm (RDA) and the Harris Hawks Optimisation Algorithm (HHO) is proposed. The optimisation algorithms independently search for a placement solution in the search space and update the best solution based on some probability function. The proposed hybrid algorithm was implemented using the iFogSim simulator and evaluated based on average completion time, average latency, and average energy consumption. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid heta-heuristic algorithm over the traditional RDA and HHO algorithms.

Abstract
An efficient eco-friendly construction of 4-aryltetrazolo [1,5-a][1, 8]naphthyridine scaffolds has been successfully prepared through the microwave method in a short reaction time with good yields. The microwave method has unique advantages, short reaction time, easy workup procedure, and simple purification of the products. Synthesized entire molecules were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity among them compounds 6g and 6a revealed the highest anti-microbial activity. Moreover, in silico molecular modeling evaluation has been done by considering docking scores, hydrogen bond interactions, affinity, and the short distance between ligand and receptor. All the molecule’s good docking results shown with the target protein and obtained results were well complemented to the antimicrobial activity.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The extensive adoption of artificial intelligence in clinical decision support systems necessitates a significant presence of ML models that clinicians can easily interpret. Therefore, we developed an RNN-based interpretable method, combining the fuzzy concepts and recurrent units, to train accurate and explainable models on high-dimensional longitudinal electronic health records data. Through supervised learning, our method allows the identification of variable encoding functions and significant rules. To demonstrate its performance and capabilities in classification and rule discovery, we first tested it on a simulation dataset. The proposed methods achieved the best model performance, and the rules learned are almost identical to
what we used to generate the synthetic data. Furthermore, we showcased a pilot application that proved its potential in the early detection of cardiac event onset. We constructed a prediction window of length from 30 days to 180 days and a 360-day retrospective observation window to evaluate our algorithm. Our proposed algorithm EvolveFNN with GRU unit achieved an AUPRC of 0.695 and an AUROC of 0.682 and EvolveFNN with LSTM unit achieved an AUPRC of 0.696 and an AUROC of 0.684 when the prediction window size is 180 days. The proposed algorithm obtained a comparable model performance to vanilla GRU models and remains relatively stable when the prediction window size changes. Examining the rules generated by our EvolveFNN model with the GRU unit, we found that the extracted rules align with clinical practices and existing literature. This provides potential risk factors not explored before in the population, such as chloride. To assess the generalizability of the algorithm, we conducted experiments on the MIMIC-III benchmark dataset for in-hospital mortality prediction. The results showed our proposed algorithms achieved model performance comparable to the top-performing GRU model and surpassed other approaches by providing transparent decision reasoning. In conclusion, our approach, EvolveFNN, can effectively train accurate, interpretable, and reliable models using large longitudinal electronic health records datasets, thereby offering valuable insights for clinicians.

Abstract

Operators cannot ignore the radiation hazards arising from nuclear weapons. In this study, batch adsorption experiments were investigated to remove the radioactive isotope Cs-137 from the real radioactive wastewater. The attapulgite natural clay mineral was characterized and adopted as an adsorbent in a batch adsorption system. Equilibrium was reached after 2 h with a Cs-137 removal efficiency of 97% for attapulgite. The kinetics of Cs-137 adsorption on the attapulgite clay surface were evaluated. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model produced an excellent fit with the experimental kinetic data.

A Case Report
Authors: Deng Tie , Feng Junbang , Wang Wenjing , Feng Mingjuan , Wang Zhongrui , Li Chuanming 
Published: August 2023

Background:
Primary anorectal malignant melanoma (ARMM) is a rare tumor. It is often misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids, polyps or colorectal cancer due to the lack of specificity of their clinical symptoms and imaging manifestations.

Case Presentation:
In this study, we reported an 83-year-old female patient with ARMM. Computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed uneven thickening of the intestinal wall about 7.0 cm from the anal margin, and no typical T1 high signal was seen on MRI. Dual-energy spectral CT showed that the effective atomic number (Zeff) of the tumor and the iodine concentration in the arterial phase (AP) and venous phase (VP) were different from other rectal malignancies reported in the previous literature. Sigmoidoscopy showed a large polypoid mass approximately 7.0 cm from the anal verge. Immunohistochemical staining showed that about 60% of Melan A and HMB-45 were positive, S-100 protein and Ki-67 were positive, and the pathological diagnosis was ARMM.

Conclusion:
This was the first dual-energy spectral CT imaging report of ARMM. The Zeff and iodine concentration in the arterial phase and venous phase could help distinguish between ARMM and other rectal malignancies.
Active Sonar Waveform Design for High-range-velocity Resolution: A Review
Authors: Yaojun Jia , Hongkai Wei , Pingbo Wang , Qiang Chen 
Published: August 2023

:
Active sonar detects targets by transmitting acoustic signals and processing the echo,
which is becoming the primary way of anti-submarine detection. The design and processing of active sonar signals for high-range-velocity resolution has long been a problem of great interest. As a
standard tool of waveform design, the ambiguity function (AF) based on a matched filter (MF) is
always used to characterize the range-velocity resolution. In recent decades, a large number of
scholars have studied various high-resolution waveforms with reverberation suppression performance and their improved versions. Although theoretically and technically, there is no ideal waveform that can be applied to all scenarios, we can select or design relatively optimal transmitted
waveforms according to diverse tasks and purposes, performance indicators, and operating environments. In this paper, the high-resolution and anti-reverberation waveforms proposed in recent
years are reviewed. Their advantages and disadvantages are evaluated comprehensively from the
aspects of resolution, anti-reverberation, and detection performance, which provides guidance for
waveform design and application. Compared with Comb spectrum (CS) and thumbtack signals, frequency modulation (FM) combination signal has a very broad development potential due to breaking away from the limitation of traditional MF processing.

The use of stinging nettle tea (Urtica sp.) to control Aulacorthum solani and Macrosiphum euphorbiae on Ranunculus asiaticus
Authors: Wulf Florian , Podhorna Jana , Bandte Martina , Büttner Carmen , Rybak Malgorzata 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT
Natural and environmental-friendly approaches to control pests and diseases in horticultural production systems are showing an increasing trend. Biological alternatives, such as botanical extracts and basic substances, show promise in the reduction of the necessity for conventional plant protectants. In ornamentals, less is known about the usage, behaviour and potential of botanicals and basic substances for plant protection. In two trials, we investigated the effect of a weekly foliar spray of an aqueous extract of nettle (Urtica sp.; dried material 15 g · L–1) on two aphids, Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Aulacorthum solani. Experiments were conducted in the greenhouse with Ranunculus asiaticus as hostplant. The Urtica tea and azadirachtin (NeemAzal-T/S) as a standard used in common horticultural production were compared with the water control. Both previously infested and noninfested plants were built up to examine the effect on aphid population growth and migration. As a result, we showed that both treatments, Urtica tea and azadirachtin, reduce the aphid density significantly in comparison with the water control, although the effect of the Urtica tea was not as substantial as that of azadirachtin. Contrarily, treatments could not prevent aphid migration on previously noninfested plants. The study demonstrates that the basic substance Urtica tea can be suitable for the reduction of aphid pests in ornamental plant production, and thus, reduce the amount of synthetic plant protectants in horticulture.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Radio frequency energy harvester is the conversion of ambient radio frequency electromagnetic waves into usable electrical energy, powering low-power devices without traditional power sources. In this paper, a novel RF energy harvester is proposed for 700 MHz frequency band. For the purpose of rectification, a Greinacher voltage rectifier cum multiplier is used in the circuit and Schottky Diode HSMS-2852 is used for implementing a rectifier. The LC impedance matching is implemented to improve the circuit performance of the harvester including conversion efficiency and output voltage. Simulation of the rectifier is done using the PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) software. The rectifier shows the optimized performance at 5 kΩ load impedance. Simulation results show the highest efficiency of 33.1 % and an output voltage of 3.2 V with 8 dBm RF power at 700 MHz input frequency.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The end of the Cold War and the emergence of modern technologies, especially in the space or cyber fields, brought a new interpretation of conflicts, based on modern systems and decisions adapted to these novelties. It is through these considerations that the changing nature of conflicts has presented challenges to traditional military doctrines and strategies. The multi-domain operations approach is used by NATO to identify the unique strengths and capabilities of each force category. By identifying these capabilities, the Alliance is able to create plans that maximize the effectiveness of each force category and enable a more effective response to potential threats.
Using Culture as the Fifth Language Skill to Enhance Military Students’ EFL Competence
Authors: Mitrulescu Corina Mariana 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Is there a connection between language and culture? If so, what is the role of culture in language classrooms at a military academy? Why should we teach a set of cultural skills as part of EFL instruction? Can culture be considered the fifth language skill in addition to speaking, writing, listening, and reading? This paper aims to provide answers to these questions and while it attempts to present a series of practical examples on how to include culture in EFL classes, it is limited to a brief description of each. The fact that it is often difficult to simply translate one language into another is one of the primary reasons behind the concept of teaching culture alongside language. The present paper provides language teachers with reasons and suggestions for emphasizing the significance of teaching culture to military students.

This article discusses the need of diversity management in higher military education. Due to various professional and private backgrounds of the students taking part in the Master’s degree programme in Military Leadership, the following four diversity dimensions have to be taken into account: personality, internal, external and organizational dimension. Considering these dimensions during preparation and implementation of the formal education leads to better results. However, this also requires appropriate further training for teachers.
Effective and Democratic Governance as the Condition of Digital Social Innovations in Europe
Authors: Golob Tea , Makarovič Matej , Tomšič Matevž 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The article explores whether and how the performance of European countries in terms of digital social innovations is conditioned by inclusive and effective governance, prevailing cultural patterns and the existing level of socio-economic development. The analysis demonstrates that inclusive and effective governance is a necessary and sufficient condition for digital social innovations. This means that the existence of channels for widespread participation of the people as well as effective and transparent conduct of political institutions leads to a boom of creativity and utilisation of human capital in all key areas of society. We cannot confirm any significant conditioning of digital social innovations by culture or pre-existing socio-economic development. At least in the European Union (EU) context, our results provide some reasons for optimism, since the highest levels of socio-economic development are not necessary for impressive performance in terms of digital social innovation.
