Malignant Tumors are developed over several years due to unknown biological factors. These biological factors induce changes in the body and consequently, they lead to Malignant Tumors. Some habits and behaviors initiate these biological factors. In effect, the immune system cannot recognize a Malignant Tumor as foreign tissue. In order to discover a fascinating pattern of these habits, behaviors, and diseases and to make effective decisions, different machine learning techniques should be used. This research attempts to find the association between normal proteins (environmental factors) and

Traditionally, tamper-proof steganography involves using efficient protocols to encrypt the stego cover image and/or hidden message prior to embedding it into the carrier object. However, as the inevitable transition to the quantum computing paradigm beckons, its immense computing power will be exploited to violate even the best non-quantum, i.e., classical, stego protocol. On its part, quantum walks can be tailored to utilise their astounding ‘quantumness’ to propagate nonlinear chaotic behaviours as well as its sufficient sensitivity to alterations in primary key parameters both important

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has taken the world by surprise, forcing lockdowns and straining public health care systems. COVID-19 is known to be a highly infectious virus, and infected individuals do not initially exhibit symptoms, while some remain asymptomatic. Thus, a non-negligible fraction of the population can, at any given time, be a hidden source of transmissions. In response, many governments have shown great interest in smartphone contact tracing apps that help automate the difficult task of tracing all recent contacts of newly identified infected individuals. However, tracing

Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) is a standard screening and diagnosis technique for several retinal diseases. The analysis of FFA images is performed qualitatively by skilled observers, and thus is vulnerable to inter- and intra-observer variability. In this study, the authors present a method for computer-aided analysis of FFA images. The method is based on generating quantitative colour fluorescein leakage maps (FLM) that mimic the thickness maps generated by the optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results from 64 patients show strong correlation between the FLM and OCT thickness maps

Visual Sensor Networks (VSNs) open up a new realm of smart autonomous applications based on enhanced three- dimensional sensing and collaborative reasoning. An emerging VSN application domain is pervasive healthcare delivery where gait information computed from distributed vision nodes is used for observing the wellbeing of the elderly, quantifying post-operative patient recovery and monitoring the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's. The development of patient-specific gait analysis models, however, is challenging since it is unfeasible to obtain normal and impaired

Cross-platform development is the practice of developing software products or services for multiple platforms or software environments. The idea of cross-platform development is that a software application or product should work well in more than one specific digital habitat. This capability is typically pursued in order to sell software for more than one proprietary operating system. In general, cross-platform development can make a program less efficient. However, in many cases, the makers of software figured out that the limitations of cross-platform development are worth dealing with in

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are considered as a promising approach for facilitating road safety, traffic management, and infotainment dissemination for drivers and passengers. However, they are subject to an attack that has a severe impact on their security. This attack is called the Sybil attack, and it is considered as one of the most serious attacks to VANETs, and a threat to lives of drivers and passengers. In this paper, we propose a detection scheme for the Sybil attack. The idea is based on public key cryptography and aims to ensure privacy preservation, confidentiality, and non

Semantic segmentation of 3D point cloud data is essential for enhanced high-level perception in autonomous platforms. Furthermore, given the increasing deployment of LiDAR sensors onboard of cars and drones, a special emphasis is also placed on non-computationally intensive algorithms that operate on mobile GPUs. Previous efficient state-of-the-art methods relied on 2D spherical projection of point clouds as input for 2D fully convolutional neural networks to balance the accuracy-speed trade-off. This paper introduces a novel approach for 3D point cloud semantic segmentation that exploits

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an Internet revolution that is increasingly used in business, industry, medicine, the economy and other modern information society. IoT, particularly transport, industrial robots and automation systems are supported by artificial intelligence in a wide range of daily implementations with dominant industrial applications. IoT is an interconnected network of physical objects, which enables them to gather and share information, using software, sensor units and network connectivity. In industries; IoT brought about a new revolution in industries. In the field of IoT

Pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) are a key component in the design of modern cryptographic mechanisms and are regarded as a backbone element of many modern cryptographic applications. However and in spite of their robustness, quantum computers could crack down PNGR-based systems. Quantum walks, a universal model of quantum computation, have nonlinear properties that make them a robust candidate to produce PRNG. In this paper, we utilize controlled alternate quantum walk (CAQW) to create PRNG. Moreover, we use the presented PRNG mechanism as a component of a new quantum color image
