Early breast cancer diagnostics based on hierarchical machine learning classification for mammography images

Breast cancer constitutes a significant threat to women’s health and is considered the second leading cause of their death. Breast cancer is a result of abnormal behavior in the functionality of the normal breast cells. Therefore, breast cells tend to grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor that can be felt like a breast lump. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is proved to reduce the risks of death by

Generation of the chaotic keys on the fly for AES encryption system

This paper proposes a safe and effective method to generate the subkeys that are used in the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm for data encryption applications. The suggested method relies upon the Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) that is created from the improved Lorenz chaotic system. The output of PRNG is exploited as a key schedule for generating AES subkeys where the output is

Design and FPGA Verification of Custom-Shaped Chaotic Attractors Using Rotation, Offset Boosting and Amplitude Control

This brief proposes a method of generating custom-shaped attractors, which depends on a planarly rotating V-shape multi-scroll chaotic system with offset boosting and amplitude control, and its FPGA verification. The proposed planarly rotating, translational (offset boostable), and scalable (amplitude controllable) system exhibits a wide basin of attraction and can cover the whole space

Develop TE/TM Pass Filters on double-loaded-on-ridge Structure with ITO/TiN for Upstream FTTH Optical Access Networks

In this paper, TE/TM pass filters are introduced as a dual optical multiplexer in the fiber-to-the home (FTTH) uplink transmission. The architecture is implemented at 1330 nm wavelength, with a double-loaded-on-ridge structure. In the TE pass filter, TM mode couples with plasmonic mode while TE mode is guided through the core with low losses due to the effect of the two plasmonic materials. The TM

A Modified Differentiator Circuit for Extracting Cole-Impedance Model Parameters Using Meta-heuristic Optimization Algorithms

A differentiator-based set up is proposed as an alternative solution to measure bio-impedance. The method is modifying the differentiator circuit, replacing the capacitor with the Cole-impedance model representing the biological (fruit) sample. The proposed differentiator gain response (with the embedded fruit) is experimentally recorded. The experimental data’s post-processing is performed using

Fractional-order edge detection masks for diabetic retinopathy diagnosis as a case study

Edge detection is one of the main steps in the image processing field, especially in bio-medical imaging, to diagnose a disease or trace its progress. The transfer of medical images makes them more susceptible to quality degradation due to any imposed noise. Hence, the protection of this data against noise is a persistent need. The efficiency of fractional-order filters to detect fine details and

A Deep Learning-Based Benchmarking Framework for Lane Segmentation in the Complex and Dynamic Road Scenes

Automatic lane detection is a classical task in autonomous vehicles that traditional computer vision techniques can perform. However, such techniques lack reliability for achieving high accuracy while maintaining adequate time complexity in the context of real-time detection in complex and dynamic road scenes. Deep neural networks have proved their ability to achieve competing accuracy and time

Effect of thickness and temperature on flexible organic P3HT:PCBM solar cell performance

A blend of poly 3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) and [6, 6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is used as a photoactive layer for simulating a bulk heterojunction organic solar using general-purpose photovoltaic device model (GPVDM) software. The optical and electrical performance of the cell had been analyzed by changing the thickness of each layer and substrate material over a range of operating

Impact of nonzero boresight and jitter pointing errors on the performance of M-ary ASK/FSO system over Málaga (M) atmospheric turbulence

In free-space optical (FSO) communication, Distribution models such as lognormal, gamma-gamma, and k-distribution describe weak, moderate, and strong turbulence, respectively. Whereas Málaga (M) distribution is a powerful statistical model repeatedly mentioned in the literature due to its generality, Málaga (M) describes the three turbulence conditions while considering the pointing errors

Double Fractional-order Masks Image Enhancement

Image enhancement is better achieved when fractional-order masks are used rather than integer-order ones, this is due to the flexibility of fractional-order parameters control. This paper proposes a combination of fractional-order masks to be used in parallel as double filters system structure to improve image enhancement rather than using a single-stage filter. Various performance metrics are
