文摘Image segmentation is vital when analyzing medical images,especially magnetic resonance(MR)images of the brain.Recently,several image segmentation techniques based on multilevel thresholding have been proposed for medical image segmentation;however,the algorithms become trapped in local minima and have low convergence speeds,particularly as the number of threshold levels increases.Consequently,in this paper,we develop a new multilevel thresholding image segmentation technique based on the jellyfish search algorithm(JSA)(an optimizer).We modify the JSA to prevent descents into local minima,and we accelerate convergence toward optimal solutions.The improvement is achieved by applying two novel strategies:Rankingbased updating and an adaptive method.Ranking-based updating is used to replace undesirable solutions with other solutions generated by a novel updating scheme that improves the qualities of the removed solutions.We develop a new adaptive strategy to exploit the ability of the JSA to find a best-so-far solution;we allow a small amount of exploration to avoid descents into local minima.The two strategies are integrated with the JSA to produce an improved JSA(IJSA)that optimally thresholds brain MR images.To compare the performances of the IJSA and JSA,seven brain MR images were segmented at threshold levels of 3,4,5,6,7,8,10,15,20,25,and 30.IJSA was compared with several other recent image segmentation algorithms,including the improved and standard marine predator algorithms,the modified salp and standard salp swarm algorithms,the equilibrium optimizer,and the standard JSA in terms of fitness,the Structured Similarity Index Metric(SSIM),the peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR),the standard deviation(SD),and the Features Similarity Index Metric(FSIM).The experimental outcomes and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm in terms of the FSIM,the PSNR,the objective values,and the SD;in terms of the SSIM,IJSA was competitive with the others.
文摘Artificial intelligence(AI)is expanding its roots in medical diagnostics.Various acute and chronic diseases can be identified accurately at the initial level by using AI methods to prevent the progression of health complications.Kidney diseases are producing a high impact on global health and medical practitioners are suggested that the diagnosis at earlier stages is one of the foremost approaches to avert chronic kidney disease and renal failure.High blood pressure,diabetes mellitus,and glomerulonephritis are the root causes of kidney disease.Therefore,the present study is proposed a set of multiple techniques such as simulation,modeling,and optimization of intelligent kidney disease prediction(SMOIKD)which is based on computational intelligence approaches.Initially,seven parameters were used for the fuzzy logic system(FLS),and then twenty-five different attributes of the kidney dataset were used for the artificial neural network(ANN)and deep extreme machine learning(DEML).The expert system was proposed with the assistance of medical experts.For the quick and accurate evaluation of the proposed system,Matlab version 2019 was used.The proposed SMOIKD-FLSANN-DEML expert system has shown 94.16%accuracy.Hence this study concluded that SMOIKD-FLS-ANN-DEML system is effective to accurately diagnose kidney disease at initial levels.
文摘With the massive success of deep networks,there have been signi-cant efforts to analyze cancer diseases,especially skin cancer.For this purpose,this work investigates the capability of deep networks in diagnosing a variety of dermoscopic lesion images.This paper aims to develop and ne-tune a deep learning architecture to diagnose different skin cancer grades based on dermatoscopic images.Fine-tuning is a powerful method to obtain enhanced classication results by the customized pre-trained network.Regularization,batch normalization,and hyperparameter optimization are performed for ne-tuning the proposed deep network.The proposed ne-tuned ResNet50 model successfully classied 7-respective classes of dermoscopic lesions using the publicly available HAM10000 dataset.The developed deep model was compared against two powerful models,i.e.,InceptionV3 and VGG16,using the Dice similarity coefcient(DSC)and the area under the curve(AUC).The evaluation results show that the proposed model achieved higher results than some recent and robust models.

文摘Finding clusters based on density represents a significant class of clustering algorithms.These methods can discover clusters of various shapes and sizes.The most studied algorithm in this class is theDensity-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise(DBSCAN).It identifies clusters by grouping the densely connected objects into one group and discarding the noise objects.It requires two input parameters:epsilon(fixed neighborhood radius)and MinPts(the lowest number of objects in epsilon).However,it can’t handle clusters of various densities since it uses a global value for epsilon.This article proposes an adaptation of the DBSCAN method so it can discover clusters of varied densities besides reducing the required number of input parameters to only one.Only user input in the proposed method is the MinPts.Epsilon on the other hand,is computed automatically based on statistical information of the dataset.The proposed method finds the core distance for each object in the dataset,takes the average of these distances as the first value of epsilon,and finds the clusters satisfying this density level.The remaining unclustered objects will be clustered using a new value of epsilon that equals the average core distances of unclustered objects.This process continues until all objects have been clustered or the remaining unclustered objects are less than 0.006 of the dataset’s size.The proposed method requires MinPts only as an input parameter because epsilon is computed from data.Benchmark datasets were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method that produced promising results.Practical experiments demonstrate that the outstanding ability of the proposed method to detect clusters of different densities even if there is no separation between them.The accuracy of the method ranges from 92%to 100%for the experimented datasets.
文摘Detecting COVID-19 cases as early as possible became a critical issue that must be addressed to avoid the pandemic’s additional spread and early provide the appropriate treatment to the affected patients.This study aimed to develop a COVID-19 diagnosis and prediction(AIMDP)model that could identify patients with COVID-19 and distinguish it from other viral pneumonia signs detected in chest computed tomography(CT)scans.The proposed system uses convolutional neural networks(CNNs)as a deep learning technology to process hundreds of CT chest scan images and speeds up COVID-19 case prediction to facilitate its containment.We employed the whale optimization algorithm(WOA)to select the most relevant patient signs.A set of experiments validated AIMDP performance.It demonstrated the superiority of AIMDP in terms of the area under the curve-receiver operating characteristic(AUC-ROC)curve,positive predictive value(PPV),negative predictive rate(NPR)and negative predictive value(NPV).AIMDP was applied to a dataset of hundreds of real data and CT images,and it was found to achieve 96%AUC for diagnosing COVID-19 and 98%for overall accuracy.The results showed the promising performance of AIMDP for diagnosing COVID-19 when compared to other recent diagnosing and predicting models.
文摘The main aim of this paper is to propose a new memory dependent derivative(MDD)theory which called threetemperature nonlinear generalized anisotropic micropolar-thermoelasticity.The system of governing equations of the problems associated with the proposed theory is extremely difficult or impossible to solve analytically due to nonlinearity,MDD diffusion,multi-variable nature,multi-stage processing and anisotropic properties of the considered material.Therefore,we propose a novel boundary element method(BEM)formulation for modeling and simulation of such system.The computational performance of the proposed technique has been investigated.The numerical results illustrate the effects of time delays and kernel functions on the nonlinear three-temperature and nonlinear displacement components.The numerical results also demonstrate the validity,efficiency and accuracy of the proposed methodology.The findings and solutions of this study contribute to the further development of industrial applications and devices typically include micropolar-thermoelastic materials.

文摘Owing to technological developments,Medical image analysis has received considerable attention in the rapid detection and classification of diseases.The brain is an essential organ in humans.Brain tumors cause loss of memory,vision,and name.In 2020,approximately 18,020 deaths occurred due to brain tumors.These cases can be minimized if a brain tumor is diagnosed at a very early stage.Computer vision researchers have introduced several techniques for brain tumor detection and classification.However,owing to many factors,this is still a challenging task.These challenges relate to the tumor size,the shape of a tumor,location of the tumor,selection of important features,among others.In this study,we proposed a framework for multimodal brain tumor classification using an ensemble of optimal deep learning features.In the proposed framework,initially,a database is normalized in the form of high-grade glioma(HGG)and low-grade glioma(LGG)patients and then two pre-trained deep learning models(ResNet50 and Densenet201)are chosen.The deep learning models were modified and trained using transfer learning.Subsequently,the enhanced ant colony optimization algorithm is proposed for best feature selection from both deep models.The selected features are fused using a serial-based approach and classified using a cubic support vector machine.The experimental process was conducted on the BraTs2019 dataset and achieved accuracies of 87.8%and 84.6%for HGG and LGG,respectively.The comparison is performed using several classification methods,and it shows the significance of our proposed technique.
文摘Plant diseases are a major impendence to food security,and due to a lack of key infrastructure in many regions of the world,quick identification is still challenging.Harvest losses owing to illnesses are a severe problem for both large farming structures and rural communities,motivating our mission.Because of the large range of diseases,identifying and classifying diseases with human eyes is not only time-consuming and labor intensive,but also prone to being mistaken with a high error rate.Deep learning-enabled breakthroughs in computer vision have cleared the road for smartphone-assisted plant disease and diagnosis.The proposed work describes a deep learning approach for detection plant disease.Therefore,we proposed a deep learning model strategy for detecting plant disease and classification of plant leaf diseases.In our research,we focused on detecting plant diseases in five crops divided into 25 different types of classes(wheat,cotton,grape,corn,and cucumbers).In this task,we used a public image database of healthy and diseased plant leaves acquired under realistic conditions.For our work,a deep convolutional neural model AlexNet and Particle Swarm optimization was trained for this task we found that the metrics(accuracy,specificity,Sensitivity,precision,and Fscore)of the tested deep learning networks achieves an accuracy of 98.83%,specificity of 98.56%,Sensitivity of 98.78%,precision of 98.67%,and F-score of 98.47%,demonstrating the feasibility of this approach.

文摘Computer vision is one of the significant trends in computer science.It plays as a vital role in many applications,especially in the medical field.Early detection and segmentation of different tumors is a big challenge in the medical world.The proposed framework uses ultrasound images from Kaggle,applying five diverse models to denoise the images,using the best possible noise-free image as input to the U-Net model for segmentation of the tumor,and then using the Convolution Neural Network(CNN)model to classify whether the tumor is benign,malignant,or normal.The main challenge faced by the framework in the segmentation is the speckle noise.It’s is a multiplicative and negative issue in breast ultrasound imaging,because of this noise,the image resolution and contrast become reduced,which affects the diagnostic value of this imaging modality.As result,speckle noise reduction is very vital for the segmentation process.The framework uses five models such as Generative Adversarial Denoising Network(DGAN-Net),Denoising U-Shaped Net(D-U-NET),Batch Renormalization U-Net(Br-UNET),Generative Adversarial Network(GAN),and Nonlocal Neutrosophic ofWiener Filtering(NLNWF)for reducing the speckle noise from the breast ultrasound images then choose the best image according to peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR)for each level of speckle-noise.The five used methods have been compared with classical filters such as Bilateral,Frost,Kuan,and Lee and they proved their efficiency according to PSNR in different levels of noise.The five diverse models are achieved PSNR results for speckle noise at level(0.1,0.25,0.5,0.75),(33.354,29.415,27.218,24.115),(31.424,28.353,27.246,24.244),(32.243,28.42,27.744,24.893),(31.234,28.212,26.983,23.234)and(33.013,29.491,28.556,25.011)forDGAN,Br-U-NET,D-U-NET,GANand NLNWF respectively.According to the value of PSNR and level of speckle noise,the best image passed for segmentation using U-Net and classification usingCNNto detect tumor type.The experiments proved the quality ofU-Net and CNN in segmentation and classification respectively,since they achieved 95.11 and 95.13 in segmentation and 95.55 and 95.67 in classification as dice score and accuracy respectively.
文摘This paper focuses on the unsupervised detection of the Higgs boson particle using the most informative features and variables which characterize the“Higgs machine learning challenge 2014”data set.This unsupervised detection goes in this paper analysis through 4 steps:(1)selection of the most informative features from the considered data;(2)definition of the number of clusters based on the elbow criterion.The experimental results showed that the optimal number of clusters that group the considered data in an unsupervised manner corresponds to 2 clusters;(3)proposition of a new approach for hybridization of both hard and fuzzy clustering tuned with Ant Lion Optimization(ALO);(4)comparison with some existing metaheuristic optimizations such as Genetic Algorithm(GA)and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO).By employing a multi-angle analysis based on the cluster validation indices,the confusion matrix,the efficiencies and purities rates,the average cost variation,the computational time and the Sammon mapping visualization,the results highlight the effectiveness of the improved Gustafson-Kessel algorithm optimized withALO(ALOGK)to validate the proposed approach.Even if the paper gives a complete clustering analysis,its novel contribution concerns only the Steps(1)and(3)considered above.The first contribution lies in the method used for Step(1)to select the most informative features and variables.We used the t-Statistic technique to rank them.Afterwards,a feature mapping is applied using Self-Organizing Map(SOM)to identify the level of correlation between them.Then,Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),a metaheuristic optimization technique,is used to reduce the data set dimension.The second contribution of thiswork concern the third step,where each one of the clustering algorithms as K-means(KM),Global K-means(GlobalKM),Partitioning AroundMedoids(PAM),Fuzzy C-means(FCM),Gustafson-Kessel(GK)and Gath-Geva(GG)is optimized and tuned with ALO.

文摘Determining the optimum location of facilities is critical in many fields,particularly in healthcare.This study proposes the application of a suitable location model for field hospitals during the novel coronavirus 2019(COVID-19)pandemic.The used model is the most appropriate among the three most common location models utilized to solve healthcare problems(the set covering model,the maximal covering model,and the P-median model).The proposed nonlinear binary constrained model is a slight modification of the maximal covering model with a set of nonlinear constraints.The model is used to determine the optimum location of field hospitals for COVID-19 risk reduction.The designed mathematical model and the solution method are used to deploy field hospitals in eight governorates in Upper Egypt.In this case study,a discrete binary gaining–sharing knowledge-based optimization(DBGSK)algorithm is proposed.The DBGSK algorithm is based on how humans acquire and share knowledge throughout their life.The DBGSK algorithm mainly depends on two junior and senior binary stages.These two stages enable DBGSK to explore and exploit the search space efficiently and effectively,and thus it can solve problems in binary space.
文摘This research presents,and claries the application of two permutation algorithms,based on chaotic map systems,and applied to a le of speech signals.They are the Arnold cat map-based permutation algorithm,and the Baker’s chaotic map-based permutation algorithm.Both algorithms are implemented on the same speech signal sample.Then,both the premier and the encrypted le histograms are documented and plotted.The speech signal amplitude values with time signals of the original le are recorded and plotted against the encrypted and decrypted les.Furthermore,the original le is plotted against the encrypted le,using the spectrogram frequencies of speech signals with the signal duration.These permutation algorithms are used to shufe the positions of the speech les signals’values without any changes,to produce an encrypted speech le.A comparative analysis is introduced by using some of sundry statistical and experimental analyses for the procedures of encryption and decryption,e.g.,the time of both procedures,the encrypted audio signals histogram,the correlation coefcient between specimens in the premier and encrypted signals,a test of the Spectral Distortion(SD),and the Log-Likelihood Ratio(LLR)measures.The outcomes of the different experimental and comparative studies demonstrate that the two permutation algorithms(Baker and Arnold)are sufcient for providing an efcient and reliable voice signal encryption solution.However,the Arnold’s algorithm gives better results in most cases as compared to the results of Baker’s algorithm.
文摘A numerical study is performed to investigate the flow and heat transfer at the surface of a permeable wedge immersed in a copper （Cu）-water-based nanofluid in the presence of magnetic field and viscous dissipation using a nanofluid model proposed by Tiwari and Das （Tiwari I K and Das M K 2007 Int. J. HeatMass Transfer 50 2002）. A similarity solution for the transformed governing equation is obtained, and those equations are solved by employing a numerical shooting technique with a fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. A comparison with previously published work is carried out and shows that they are in good agreement with each other. The effects of velocity ratio parameter ~, solid volume fraction tp, magnetic field M, viscous dissipation Ec, and suction parameter Fw on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed. The unique and dual solutions for self-similar equations of the flow and heat transfer are analyzed numerically. Moreover, the range of the velocity ratio parameter for which the solution exists increases in the presence of magnetic field and suction parameter.
文摘Currently,COVID-19 is spreading all over the world and profoundly impacting people’s lives and economic activities.In this paper,a novel approach called the COVID-19 Quantum Neural Network(CQNN)for predicting the severity of COVID-19 in patients is proposed.It consists of two phases:In the first,the most distinct subset of features in a dataset is identified using a Quick Reduct Feature Selection(QRFS)method to improve its classification performance;and,in the second,machine learning is used to train the quantum neural network to classify the risk.It is found that patients’serial blood counts(their numbers of lymphocytes from days 1 to 15 after admission to hospital)are associated with relapse rates and evaluations of COVID-19 infections.Accordingly,the severity of COVID-19 is classified in two categories,serious and non-serious.The experimental results indicate that the proposed CQNN’s prediction approach outperforms those of other classification algorithms and its high accuracy confirms its effectiveness.
文摘CPU scheduling is the basic task within any time-shared operating system.One of the main goals of the researchers interested in CPU scheduling is minimizing time cost.Comparing between CPU scheduling algorithms is subject to some scheduling criteria(e.g.,turnaround time,waiting time and number of context switches(NCS)).Scheduling policy is divided into preemptive and non-preemptive.Round Robin(RR)algorithm is the most common preemptive scheduling algorithm used in the time-shared operating systems.In this paper,the authors proposed a modified version of the RR algorithm,called dynamic time slice(DTS),to combine the advantageous of the low scheduling overhead of the RR and favor short process for the sake of minimizing time cost.Each process has a weight proportional to the weights of all processes.The process’s weight determines its time slice within the current period.The authors benefit from the clustering technique in grouping the processes that are similar in their attributes(e.g.,CPU service time,weight,allowed time slice(ATS),proportional burst time(PBT)and NCS).Each process in a cluster is assigned the average of the processes’time slices in this cluster.A comparative study of six popular scheduling algorithms and the proposed approach on nine groups of processes vary in their attributes was performed and the evaluation was measured in terms of waiting and turnaround times,and NCS.The experiments showed that the proposed algorithm gives better results.

文摘The recent COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus,severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2),has had a significant impact on human life and the economy around the world.A reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)test is used to screen for this disease,but its low sensitivity means that it is not sufficient for early detection and treatment.As RT-PCR is a time-consuming procedure,there is interest in the introduction of automated techniques for diagnosis.Deep learning has a key role to play in the field of medical imaging.The most important issue in this area is the choice of key features.Here,we propose a set of deep learning features based on a system for automated classification of computed tomography(CT)images to identify COVID-19.Initially,this method was used to prepare a database of three classes:Pneumonia,COVID19,and Healthy.The dataset consisted of 6000 CT images refined by a hybrid contrast stretching approach.In the next step,two advanced deep learning models(ResNet50 and DarkNet53)were fine-tuned and trained through transfer learning.The features were extracted from the second last feature layer of both models and further optimized using a hybrid optimization approach.For each deep model,the Rao-1 algorithm and the PSO algorithm were combined in the hybrid approach.Later,the selected features were merged using the new minimum parallel distance non-redundant(PMDNR)approach.The final fused vector was finally classified using the extreme machine classifier.The experimental process was carried out on a set of prepared data with an overall accuracy of 95.6%.Comparing the different classification algorithms at the different levels of the features demonstrated the reliability of the proposed framework.
