Hybrid model for detection of brain tumor using convolution neural networksCSITiaesprime
The development of aberrant brain cells, some of which may turn cancerous, is known as a brain tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are the most common technique for finding brain tumors. Information about the aberrant tissue growth in the brain is discernible from the MRI scans. In numerous research papers, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms are used to detect brain tumors. It takes extremely little time to forecast a brain tumor when these algorithms are applied to MRI pictures, and better accuracy makes it easier to treat patients. The radiologist can make speedy decisions because of this forecast. The proposed work creates a hybrid convolution neural networks (CNN) model using CNN for feature extraction and logistic regression (LR). The pre-trained model visual geometry group 16 (VGG16) is used for the extraction of features. To reduce the complexity and parameters to train we eliminated the last eight layers of VGG16. From this transformed model the features are extracted in the form of a vector array. These features fed into different machine learning classifiers like support vector machine (SVM), naïve bayes (NB), LR, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), AdaBoost, and random forest for training and testing.

Brain tumor segmentation methods have been developed since a long time and are still evolving, but the current trend is to use deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) due to its many breakthroughs and unprecedented results that have been achieved in various applications and their capacity to learn a hierarchy of progressively complicated characteristics from input without requiring manual feature extraction. Considering these unprecedented results, we present this paper as a brief review for main CNNs architecture types used in brain tumor segmentation. Specifically, we focus on researcher works that used the well-known brain tumor segmentation (BraTS) dataset.

Glioblastomas brain tumour segmentation based on convolutional neural network...IJECEIAES
Brain tumour segmentation can improve diagnostics efficiency, rise the prediction rate and treatment planning. This will help the doctors and experts in their work. Where many types of brain tumour may be classified easily, the gliomas tumour is challenging to be segmented because of the diffusion between the tumour and the surrounding edema. Another important challenge with this type of brain tumour is that the tumour may grow anywhere in the brain with different shape and size. Brain cancer presents one of the most famous diseases over the world, which encourage the researchers to find a high-throughput system for tumour detection and classification. Several approaches have been proposed to design automatic detection and classification systems. This paper presents an integrated framework to segment the gliomas brain tumour automatically using pixel clustering for the MRI images foreground and background and classify its type based on deep learning mechanism, which is the convolutional neural network. In this work, a novel segmentation and classification system is proposed to detect the tumour cells and classify the brain image if it is healthy or not. After collecting data for healthy and non-healthy brain images, satisfactory results are found and registered using computer vision approaches. This approach can be used as a part of a bigger diagnosis system for breast tumour detection and manipulation.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate

Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of

from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future

Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.

The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional

Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

1. INTRODUCTION
Brain tumors present a complex medical challenge that demands accuracy and efficiency in diagno-
sis [1]. This challenge is further compounded by the diverse morphology of brain tumors, spanning variations
in shape, size, and intensity. With advancements in medical imaging technologies, particularly magnetic reso-
nance imaging (MRI), there is an increasing opportunity to improve the precision of brain tumor detection. The
accurate segmentation of brain tumors from MRI scans plays a pivotal role in early diagnosis [2]. However,
manual segmentation methods are often time-consuming and prone to error [3], making the development of
automated and precise segmentation techniques essential [4], [5].
Traditional methods relied on handcrafted features and classical machine learning algorithms [6],
paving the way for early endeavors in deep learning for MRI detection. These techniques utilized texture
and shape features like gabor filters, gray level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM), zernike moments, region,
circularity, and wavelet transformations [7], [8]. Classifiers such as markov random field (MRF), artificial

neural network (ANN), and support vector machine (SVM) achieved accuracy rates ranging from 75% to 98%,
playing a vital role in tissue categorization [9]. Advanced features and techniques like combining Zernike
moments with ANN-Gabor wavelets with SVM classifiers were explored, alongside experiments evaluating
texture and shape features with naı̈ve Bayes (NB) classifiers [10].
The advent of deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformed MRI
classification in brain tumor detection. However, early attempts with CNNs faced challenges due to limited
sample sizes and overfitting risks. The nuances of MRI detection, including the diverse nature of brain tumors
and dataset imbalances, added complexity to the quest for automated detection [11]. Proposing transfer learn-
ing from pre-trained CNNs addressed these issues, showcasing an initial architecture achieving an 84.19%
accuracy in classification [12]. MRI detection encountered challenges in brain tumor variability and dataset
imbalances. Researchers aimed to automate detection without manual segmentation, incorporating additional
metrics (precision, sensitivity, and specificity) for accurate detection assessment.
Recent advances in deep learning, marked by innovative methods like capsule networks (CapsNets),
deep residual networks (ResNets), and inception models, have reshaped brain tumor detection. Integration of
multiple architectures, novel approaches, and ensemble techniques addressed spatial boundary complexities
in segmentation [13]. However, the journey towards optimal brain tumor segmentation persists, with the ap-
plication of asymmetric and symmetric network architectures, novel loss functions, and knowledge exchange
strategies [14], [15]. These developments highlight the continuous evolution of medical image analysis, steer-
ing towards enhanced accuracy and efficiency.
In response to these challenges, our study introduces ensemble CNNs with transfer learning, integrat-
ing the Deeplabv3+ architecture with the ResNet18 backbone to redefine the landscape of brain tumor segmen-
tation. Deep learning has shown remarkable potential in automatically learning intricate patterns in complex
data, and the concept of transfer learning, which adapts pre-trained CNN models [16], has emerged as a critical
factor in enhancing their performance. Our research focuses on developing and implementing a CNN-transfer
learning framework tailored explicitly to brain tumor segmentation. By harnessing the knowledge embedded
in pre-trained models and fine-tuning them for tumor detection, we aim to significantly improve the accuracy
and efficiency of brain tumor segmentation in medical practice.
This article unfolds as follows: section 2 presents our CNN-transfer learning framework’s method-
ology, section 3 unveils experimental results, and section 4 provides a thoughtful conclusion with insights into
future research directions. Our article aims to underscore the transformative potential of the CNN-transfer
learning framework, promising a revolution in brain tumor detection and, by extension, the broader landscape
of medical image analysis
2. METHOD
Our brain tumor prediction model relies on a robust deep learning architecture to harness the predictive
power of CNNs and the knowledge transfer capabilities of transfer learning. We have tailored this architecture
to excel in medical image segmentation, specifically for brain tumor localization. The core elements of this
architecture include:
2.1. Data collection and preprocessing
Data quality and preprocessing are critical pillars in our brain tumor prediction and segmentation
methodology. For this task, we sourced a dataset from Kaggle, curated by Nikhil Tomar [17]. This dataset
consists of 3,064 MRI images, each paired with its corresponding ground truth image as shown in Figure 1.
A subset of MRI images as shown in Figure 1(a) was randomly selected for visual inspection to ensure our
data’s uniformity and high quality. These images were overlaid with their corresponding ground truth masks
as shown in Figure 1(b), a crucial step to verify proper alignment between the MRI and ground truth masks –
a prerequisite for practically training our prediction
2.2. Base CNN model: ResNet18
Our ensemble CNN-transfer learning architecture [18] relies on the DeepLabV3+ with ResNet18
model, forming the backbone of our brain tumor prediction system. ResNet18, renowned for its deep ar-
chitecture as shown in Figure 2 and residual connections, facilitates the direct transfer of information between
layers, mitigating the vanishing gradient problem during training. With 18 layers, ResNet18 strikes an optimal
balance between depth and capacity, enabling it to discern intricate patterns within medical images. Leveraging

pre-trained knowledge from the ImageNet dataset, the model efficiently identifies pertinent features in medical
images. Fine-tuning tailors the model to brain tumor segmentation, refining its capacity to make precise predic-
tions. ResNet18’s deep structure, residual connections, and pre-trained foundation make it a powerful choice
for accurately identifying and segmenting brain tumors in medical images.

2.3. DeepLabv3+ layers and ensemble approach
The efficiency of our ensemble CNN-transfer learning system relies on the innovative architecture
of DeepLabv3+, as shown in Figure 3. This model excels in semantic segmentation, emphasizing precise
object boundary delineation crucial for medical image analysis [19]. Atrous or dilated convolution expands the
receptive field without increasing parameters, ensuring accurate segmentation by capturing features from fine-
grained to high-level details. Atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) and feature refinement modules enhance
the model’s proficiency in recognizing large and small tumor regions.
Our ensemble leverages multiple CNN outputs to enhance accuracy, particularly in complex tasks like
medical image segmentation [20]. Blending ResNet18’s feature extraction with DeepLabv3+’s architecture
allows the ensemble to capture diverse features at different scales and resolutions. This strategic fusion en-

sures robust performance, mitigating overfitting risks and promoting generalization to new data. The ensemble
achieves high accuracy, showcasing the adaptability of deep learning in medical image analysis.
2.4. Training, validation, and parameter configuration of segmentation
The training and validation phase is crucial for developing our brain tumor segmentation model, in-
volving the meticulous partitioning of the dataset into training, validation, and testing subsets. The training
dataset, which contains annotated brain MRI scans, is the foundation for instructing the model to identify tu-
mor regions. Simultaneously, the validation dataset, which is kept separate during training, plays a pivotal role
in performance monitoring, overfitting detection, and hyperparameter refinement.
Figure 3. Ensemble CNN-Resnet18 architecture using DeepLabV3+ for brain tumor segmentation
The configuration of training parameters is vital for achieving optimal model performance, preventing
overfitting, and ensuring efficient convergence [6]. Leveraging stochastic gradient descent with momentum
(SGD) as the optimizer, we dynamically adjust model weights to minimize the loss function. Key parameters,
including the learning rate and L2 regularization, are carefully tuned to prevent overfitting. Batch processing
enhances training efficiency, and periodic evaluations on the validation dataset facilitate progress tracking.
Early stopping ensures prompt conclusion if performance stagnates.
These meticulously adjusted parameters collectively contribute to a model achieving accuracy and
robust generalization [6]. Post-training, the inference and segmentation phase marks the practical application
of our trained model to previously unseen brain MRI scans. Pixel-wise segmentation maps are generated, aiding
accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This transformative capability showcases the substantial impact of
deep learning in advancing medical imaging and healthcare.
2.5. Performance evaluation metrics
Our semantic segmentation model is assessed using key metrics [21]. Accuracy gauges overall classifi-
cation performance by calculating the ratio of correctly classified samples to the total number
(Accuracy = (T P +T N)
(T P +F P +T N+F N) ). Precision focuses on correctly classifying positive samples, consider-
ing true positives and false positives (Precision = T P
(T P +F P ) ). Recall evaluates the model’s effectiveness in
identifying relevant instances, using true positives and false negatives (Recall = T P
(T P +F N) ). The F-measure
(F1 score), of dice coefficient, a balance of precision and recall, is computed as F1 = 2x P recisionxRecall
(P recision+Recall) .
In addition, we utilize global accuracy for overall pixel correctness and mean accuracy for class-
specific pixel accuracy, addressing imbalances. Finally, intersection over union (IoU) measures semantic seg-
mentation by assessing the overlap between correctly classified pixels and the ratio of ground truth to predicted
pixels. IoU values, ranging from 0 to 1, indicate the similarity between ground truth and model predictions.
