Modified Black Widow Optimization-Based Enhanced Threshold Energy Detection Technique for Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks

This study develops an Enhanced Threshold Based Energy Detection approach(ETBED)for spectrum sensing in a cognitive radio network.The threshold identification method is implemented in the received signal at the secondary user based on the square law.The proposed method is implemented with the signal transmission of multiple outputs-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing.Additionally,the proposed method is considered the dynamic detection threshold adjustments and energy identification spectrum sensing technique in cognitive radio systems.In the dynamic threshold,the signal ratio-based threshold is fixed.The threshold is computed by considering the Modified Black Widow Optimization Algorithm(MBWO).So,the proposed methodology is a combination of dynamic threshold detection and MBWO.The general threshold-based detection technique has different limitations such as the inability optimal signal threshold for determining the presence of the primary user signal.These limitations undermine the sensing accuracy of the energy identification technique.Hence,the ETBED technique is developed to enhance the energy efficiency of cognitive radio networks.The projected approach is executed and analyzed with performance and comparison analysis.The proposed method is contrasted with the conventional techniques of theWhale Optimization Algorithm(WOA)and GreyWolf Optimization(GWO).It indicated superior results,achieving a high average throughput of 2.2 Mbps and an energy efficiency of 3.8,outperforming conventional techniques.

Evolutionary Trajectory Planning for an Industrial Robot

This paper presents a novel general method for computing optimal motions of an industrial robot manipulator （AdeptOne XL robot） in the presence of fixed and oscillating obstacles. The optimization model considers the nonlinear manipulator dynamics, actuator constraints, joint limits, and obstacle avoidance. The problem has 6 objective functions, 88 variables, and 21 constraints. Two evolutionary algorithms, namely, elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm （NSGA-II） and multi-objective differential evolution （MODE）, have been used for the optimization. Two methods （normalized weighting objective functions and average fitness factor） are used to select the best solution tradeoffs. Two multi-objective performance measures, namely solution spread measure and ratio of non-dominated individuals, are used to evaluate the Pareto optimal fronts. Two multi-objective performance measures, namely, optimizer overhead and algorithm effort, are used to find the computational effort of the optimization algorithm. The trajectories are defined by B-spline functions. The results obtained from NSGA-II and MODE are compared and analyzed.

Structural,Morphological and Electrical Properties of In-Doped Zinc Oxide Nanostructure Thin Films Grown on p-Type Gallium Nitride by Simultaneous Radio-Frequency Direct-Current Magnetron Co-Sputtering

Zinc oxide （ZnO） is one of the most promising and frequently used semiconductor materials. In-doped nanos- tructure ZnO thin films are grown on p-type gallium nitride substrates by employing the simultaneous rf and dc magnetron co-sputtering technique. The effect of In-doping on structural, morphological and electrical properties is studied. The different dopant concentrations are accomplished by varying the direct current power of the In target while keeping the fixed radio frequency power of the ZnO target through the co-sputtering deposition technique by using argon as the sputtering gas at ambient temperature. The structural analysis confirms that all the grown thin films preferentially orientate along the c-axis with the wurtzite hexagonal crystal structure without having any kind of In oxide phases. The presenting Zn, 0 and In elements＇ chemical compositions are identified with EDX mapping analysis of the deposited thin films and the calculated M ratio has been found to decrease with the increasing In power. The surface topographies of the grown thin films are examined with the atomic force microscope technique. The obtained results reveal that the grown film roughness increases with the In power. The Hall measurements ascertain that all the grown films have n-type conductivity and also the other electrical parameters such as resistivity,mobility and carrier concentration are analyzed.

IoT Based Smart Framework Monitoring System for Power Station

Power Station(PS)monitoring systems are becoming critical,ensuring electrical safety through early warning,and in the event of a PS fault,the power supply is quickly disconnected.Traditional technologies are based on relays and don’t have a way to capture and store user data when there is a problem.The proposed framework is designed with the goal of providing smart environments for protecting electrical types of equipment.This paper proposes an Internet of Things(IoT)-based Smart Framework(SF)for monitoring the Power Devices(PD)which are being used in power substations.A Real-Time Monitoring(RTM)system is proposed,and it uses a state-of-the-art smart IoT-based System on Chip(SoC)sensors,a Hybrid Prediction Model(HPM),and it is being used in Big Data Processing(BDP).The Cloud Server(CS)processes the data and does the data analytics by comparing it with the historical data already stored in the CS.No-Structural Query Language Mongo Data Base(MDB)is used to store Sensor Data(SD)from the PSs.The proposed HPM combines the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise(DBSCAN)-algorithm for Outlier Detection(OD)and the Random Forest(RF)classification algorithm for removing the outlier SD and providing Fault Detection(FD)when the PD isn’t working.The suggested work is assessed and tested under various fault circumstances that happened in PSs.The simulation outcome proves that the proposed model is effective in monitoring the smooth functioning of the PS.Also,the suggested HPM has a higher Fault Prediction(FP)accuracy.This means that faults can be found earlier,early warning signals can be sent,and the power supply can be turned off quickly to ensure electrical safety.A powerful RTM and event warning system can also be built into the system before faults happen.

Cephalopods Classification Using Fine Tuned Lightweight Transfer Learning Models

Cephalopods identification is a formidable task that involves hand inspection and close observation by a malacologist.Manual observation and iden-tification take time and are always contingent on the involvement of experts.A system is proposed to alleviate this challenge that uses transfer learning techni-ques to classify the cephalopods automatically.In the proposed method,only the Lightweight pre-trained networks are chosen to enable IoT in the task of cephalopod recognition.First,the efficiency of the chosen models is determined by evaluating their performance and comparing thefindings.Second,the models arefine-tuned by adding dense layers and tweaking hyperparameters to improve the classification of accuracy.The models also employ a well-tuned Rectified Adam optimizer to increase the accuracy rates.Third,Adam with Gradient Cen-tralisation(RAdamGC)is proposed and used infine-tuned models to reduce the training time.The framework enables an Internet of Things(IoT)or embedded device to perform the classification tasks by embedding a suitable lightweight pre-trained network.Thefine-tuned models,MobileNetV2,InceptionV3,and NASNet Mobile have achieved a classification accuracy of 89.74%,87.12%,and 89.74%,respectively.Thefindings have indicated that thefine-tuned models can classify different kinds of cephalopods.The results have also demonstrated that there is a significant reduction in the training time with RAdamGC.
