Park-Net: Multi-modality qEEG and fMRI-based PDDiagnosis via Attentional Graph Convolutional Neural Network

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological condition instigated by the death of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, which is manifested as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. Early and accurate diagnosis of PD is crucial for timely initiation of appropriate treatment strategies, which can help alleviate symptoms, advance excellence of life, and hypothetically leisurely disease development. A promising method for PD diagnosis is the combination of fMRI and qEEG methods, which provide full neuroimaging data to improve accuracy and early detection. However, recent studies are limited in performing and achieving accurate PD diagnosis. To alleviate this issue, we have proposed graph neural network-based PD diagnosis model addressed as Park-Net. Here, data pre-treatment is initially implemented in which both collected qEEG signal and fMRI image is denoised using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Improved Kalman Filter (IKF) respectively. Following that, appropriate region of fMRI is segmented by adversarial network-based U-Net (AN-Net). After that, segmented region is fed into proposed Park-Net model; here modality encoder (ME) encompassed Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for feature extraction. We adapted Multi-modal Fused Attentional Graph Convolutional Neural Network (MAGCN) for constructing graph based on feature correlation and then fused. Finally, we designed Self-Attention Pooling with softmax layer for classifying PD as normal or abnormal. We have implemented our proposed Park-Net model to evaluate model performance, and its efficacy is assessed using a range of performance metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1-Score, and ROC curve, highlighting its superior performance compared to existing methods in PD diagnosis approaches.

Minimizing Time Overhead in VANET Task Offloading: A Novel Preparatory-Based Edge-Cloud Collaborative Model

In vehicle ad hoc networks (VANETs), vehicles often need to perform complex computing tasks that may exceed their processing capabilities within the required period to provide enhanced services. A common approach to improving service performance is to offload tasks to roadside units (RSUs). However, RSUs might not always have sufficient resources to manage all task assignments effectively. Given the increasing processing power of modern vehicles, task delegation to other vehicles presents a viable alternative to relying solely on RSUs. To achieve this, we first introduce a probabilistic approach that relaxes discrete actions, such as cloud server selection, into a continuous space. We then implement a Supportive Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (SMADRL) technique that minimizes total system costs, including Vehicle device energy consumption and cloud server rental charges, by utilizing a centralized training and distributed execution approach. In this framework, each Vehicle device operates as an independent agent, learning efficient decentralized policies that reduce computing pressure on the devices. Experimental results show that the proposed SMADRL framework effectively learns dynamic offloading policies for each Vehicle device and notably outperforms four state-of-the-art DRL-based agents and two heuristic frameworks, resulting in reduce overall system costs.

A Deep Learning-Based Guidance for Stuttering Prediction

Advanced stuttering detection and classification using artificial intelligence is the main emphasis of this work. Determining the degree of stuttering for speech therapists, providing an early patient diagnosis and facilitating communication with voice assistants are just a few of the uses for an efficient classification of stuttering and its subclasses. This work's first portion examines the databases and features utilized, along with the deep learning and classical methods used for automated stuttering categorization. The Bayesian Bi-directional Long Short Memory with Fully Convoluted Classifier model (BaBi-LSTM) is a deep learning model in conjunction with an available stuttering information set. The tests evaluate the impact of individual signal features on the classification outcomes, including pitch-determining variables, different 2D speech representations, and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). The suggested technique turns out to be the most successful, obtaining a 95% F1 measure for the entire class. When detecting stuttering disorders, deep learning algorithms outperform classical methods. However, the results differ amongst stuttering subtypes because of incomplete data and poor annotation quality. The study also examines the impact of the number of thick layers, the magnitude of the training information set, and the division apportionment of data into training and evaluation groups on the effectiveness of stuttering event recognition to offer insights for future technique improvements.

Enhanced Image Encryption through Combined Arnold and Three Other Chaos Techniques

In an era where digital technologies dominate all aspects of life, image encryption has emerged as a fundamental pillar of data protection and securing sensitive information. With the rise of sophisticated cyber threats and attacks, the search for innovative and stronger encryption methods has become an urgent necessity. This research proposes an enhanced image encryption scheme combining the Arnold map, 2D Henon map, memristor elements, and exponential nonlinearity chaos techniques to address vulnerabilities in conventional encryption methods. The hybrid approach ensures robustness against statistical, differential, and brute-force attacks. Experimental results demonstrate superior performance with unified histogram distribution, including near-ideal information entropy (7.99941), infinite peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and high resistance to differential attacks (NPCR = 99.61%, UACI = 35.08%). A keyspace of  and key sensitivity correlation difference rate (CDR) of 99.61% further validate security. Comparative analysis with recent studies confirms the proposed method’s superiority in encryption strength and computational performance. Consequently, the results of the proposed method making it a promising option for high-security image protection applications.

Denoising and Compressing Color Images Using New Wavelet Efficiency

Compressing color images (such as JPEG 2000) with wavelet transforms that are used in image parsing into approximate and detailed coefficients in the Multi Resolution Analyses (MRA) stage, such as Symlet 2, Coiflet 2, and Daubechies 2. The rapid development that occurs in modern life and the development of technology and artificial intelligence has increased the need to find an advanced and fast technology in image transfer, which requires reducing the space used by very large image data through the compression process that images need during transfer and transmission. Therefore, the need to accomplish this work has been necessitated by finding a new method and purely mathematical methods with equations and transformations that will be performed on Hermite polynomials to obtain the discrete Hermite wavelets (DHWT) to meet the great challenge in the field of images due to the mathematical properties that characterize these waves to be ready to perform the image analysis process known in the field of images (MRA), which is summarized in entering the color image to analyze the color image into two types of coefficients, which are detail coefficients and convergence coefficients due to the high level and low level, respectively, to divide the image into four blocks, which are Low Low, High Low, Low High and High High  to then remove the noise and then compress, A suitable algorithm was created in MATLAB to read the program for this tool as in common waves (Symlet 2, Coiflet 2, and Daubechies 2) to obtain good results with new wavelet. The results obtained and through comparisons with basic wavelet work such as Haar and Daubechies etc. to obtain the values of the most important image quality parameters and the experiment was carried out on a sample of JPEG 2000 The tables in this work show the results that will be obtained that prove the efficiency of the proposed model after calculating the image quality parameters Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal of Noise Ratio (PSNR), Bit Per Pixel (BPP) and Compassion Ratio (CR).
