The movement of capital, integration, distribution, and social supply and demand adjustment are all greatly aided by commercial banks; yet, integrating credit risk assessment is a difficult task for banking Human Resource Management (HRM). To overcome these issues, a novel credit risk assessment in HRM frameworks is done using the Enhanced Humboldt Squid based Probabilistic Spiking Neural Networks with Shunted self-attention (EHSPNN-SSA) method is proposed. Initially, the input commercial bank datasets are taken from General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Advanced Analytics of Credit Registry (AACR) Datasets. Then these data are pre-processes using Grid-Restricted Data Filtering Approach (GRDFA). After that, the data is extracted using Hybrid Absolute deviation factors (ADFs) class document frequency (CDF) (hyb ADF-CDF) based feature extraction method. Then these data are classified using Enhanced Probabilistic Spiking Neural Networks with Shunted self-attention (EPSNN-SSA) and optimized using the Humboldt Squid Optimization Algorithm (HSOA). The framework is validated using real-world banking data and compared to existing methods to demonstrate its efficacy in assessing credit risk and optimizing human resource management processes. The results show that the introduced approach performs better than previous approaches in a number of performance measures, including risky data accuracy (99.6%), non-risky data accuracy (99.7%), and risky data accuracy (99.4%) for dataset 1 and dataset 2, respectively. This indicates the method's exceptional effectiveness and room for advancement in the field.

Recent advancements in pest classification using deep learning models have shown promising results in various agricultural contexts. The VGG16 model, known for its robust performance in image classification, has been applied to the task of classifying pests in oil palm plants. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the VGG16 model in identifying pests on oil palm, comparing the performance of default settings with models fine-tuned using grid search and random search techniques. We employed a quantitative approach, training the VGG16 model with three different configurations: default, fine-tuned with grid search, and fine-tuned with random search. Evaluation metrics including precision, recall, F1-Score, and overall accuracy were used to assess model performance across different pest categories: Metisa plana, Setora nitens, and Setothosea asigna. The default VGG16 model achieved precision, recall, and F1-Score values around 90% for Metisa plana, Setora nitens, and Setothosea asigna, with an overall accuracy of 91.00%. Fine-tuning with grid search improved these metrics, with precision, recall, and F1-Score reaching approximately 93.88%, 92%, and 92.93% respectively, and an overall accuracy of 93%. The random search fine-tuning resulted in even higher performance, with precision of about 95.92%, recall of 94%, and F1-Score of 94.95% for Metisa plana, and overall accuracy of 94.67%. The VGG16 model demonstrated strong performance in pest classification on oil palm, with significant improvements achieved through fine-tuning techniques. The study confirms that grid search and random search fine-tuning can substantially enhance model accuracy and efficacy. Future research should focus on expanding the dataset to include more diverse pest species, incorporating attention mechanisms, and leveraging automated control technologies like drones and the Internet of Things (IoT) to further improve pest management practices.

Parallel Algorithms for Freezing Problems during Cryosurgery
Статья научная
Treatment planning based on numerical simula-tion before cryosurgery is an indispensable way to achieve exactly killing of tumors. Furthermore, intraoperative pre-diction based on monitoring results can lead to more accu-rate ablation. However, conventional serial program is diffi-cult to meet the challenge of real-time assistance with com-plex treatment plans. In this study, two parallel numerical algorithms, i.e. parallel explicit scheme and Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) scheme using the block pipelined method for parallelization, based on an effective heat capac-ity method are established to solve three-dimensional phase change problems in biological tissues subjected to multiple cryoprobes. The validation, speedups as well as efficiencies of parallelized computations of the both schemes were com-pared. It was shown that the parallel algorithms developed here can perform rapid prediction of temperature distribu-tion for cryosurgery, and that parallel computing is hopeful to assist cryosurgeons with prospective parallel treatment planning in the near future.

The estimation of aeroengine component deviation parameters (CDP) is an important portion of aeronautical propulsion system performance-seeking control (PSC), which employs linear Kalman filter based on piecewise state variable model (SVM) traditionally. But it’s not easy to get SVM, and the process of linearizing the nonlinear model to get the SVM will introduce errors. So parameters nonlinear estimation was introduced based on the nonlinear aeroengine model directly. The nonlinear estimation model is established according to aeroengine operation balance and the measured and calculated values matching of measurable parameters. The nonlinear estimation was changed to a problem of solving complex nonlinear equations, which is equal to an optimization problem. Time-varying inertia weight particle swarm optimization (PSO) with constriction factor was employed to solve the problem in order to satisfy the requirement of precision and calculation speed. The simulation results of a given turbofan engine show that utilizing the improved PSO algorithm can estimate the CPD precisely with satisfied converging speed.

Performance Analysis of MAC Layer Protocols in Wireless Sensor Network
Статья научная
Media Access Control (MAC) layer protocols have a critical role in making a typical Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) more reliable and efficient. Choice of MAC layer protocol and other factors including number of nodes, mobility, traffic rate and playground size dictates the performance of a particular WSN. In this paper, the performance of an experimental WSN is evaluated using different MAC layer protocols. In this experiment, a WSN is created using OMNeT++ MiXiM network simulator and its performance in terms of packet delivery ratio and mean latency is evaluated. The simulation results show that IEEE 802.11 MAC layer protocol performs better than CSMA, B-MAC and IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer protocols. In the considered scenario, IEEE 802.15.4 is ranked second in performance, followed by CSMA and B-MAC.

Performance Comparison of Kalman Filter and Mean Shift Algorithm for Object Tracking
Статья научная
Object tracking is one of the important tasks in the field of computer vision. Some of the areas which need Visual object tracking are surveillance, automated video analysis, etc. Mean shift algorithm is one of the popular techniques for this task and is advantageous when compared to some of the other tracking methods. But this method would not be appropriate in the case of large target appearance changes and occlusion. In addition, this method fails when the object is under the action of non-linear forces like that of the gravity e.g. a ball falling under the action of gravity. Another popular method used for tracking is the one that uses Kalman filter, with measurements (often noisy) of position of object to be tracked as input to it. This paper is based on a simulative comparison of both of these algorithms which will give a proper outline of which method will be more appropriate for object tracking, given the nature of motion of object and type of surroundings. Observations based on these methods are present in the literature but there is no evidence based on implementation of these algorithms that shows a quantitative comparison of the said algorithms.

Performance Evaluation of Bagged RBF Classifier for Data Mining Applications
Статья научная
Data mining is the use of algorithms to extract the information and patterns derived by the knowledge discovery in databases process. Classification maps data into predefined groups or classes. It is often referred to as supervised learning because the classes are determined before examining the data. The feasibility and the benefits of the proposed approaches are demonstrated by the means of data mining applications like intrusion detection, direct marketing, and signature verification. A variety of techniques have been employed for analysis ranging from traditional statistical methods to data mining approaches. Bagging and boosting are two relatively new but popular methods for producing ensembles. In this work, bagging is evaluated on real and benchmark data sets of intrusion detection, direct marketing, and signature verification in conjunction with radial basis function classifier as the base learner. The proposed bagged radial basis function is superior to individual approach for data mining applications in terms of classification accuracy.

Phylogenetic Method for High-Throughput Ortholog Detection
Статья научная
Accurate detection of orthologous proteins is a key aspect of comparative genomics. Orthologs in different species can be used to predict the function of uncontrived genes from model organisms as they retain the same biological function through the path of evolution. Orthologs can be inferred using phylogenetic, pair-wise similarity or synteny based methods. The study here describes a computational method for detecting orthologs of a protein. A phylogenetic tree based approach is used for identification of orthologous proteins. A Combination of species overlap algorithm and patristic distances is used for detecting orthologs of a protein from a set of FASTA sequences. Patristic distances have been used to drill the orthology predictions of any protein down to its closest orthologs. The approach gives a considerably good accuracy and has high specificity and precision. The use of Distance threshold allows controlling the stringency level of predictions so that the closeness and proximity between the protein of interest and its orthologs can be adjusted.

A novel lumped-parameter model is proposed to help with establish practice criteria of decompressive craniectomy and explain post-craniectomy intracranial dynamics. Besides traditional four major parts of arterial and venous blood, cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue, another compartment produced by secondary intracranial hypertension is included here. The elliptical deflection solution under uniformly distributed pressure is introduced to compute the craniectomy compartment volume and incorporate it into existing differential equations. Under particular pathology in this paper our model predicts the waveform of post-craniectomy intracranial pressure, which measures the clinical effectiveness of such an operation. Then a statistical model—Gaussian fitting model is used to fit our simulation data. This quantitative model provides a possible way to designate the operation criteria such as the size of decompressive craniectomy. Finally we propose the optimal interval of craniectomy size as from 100 to 300 square centimeters and that larger than 400 square centimeters would not obviously reinforce pressure reduction anymore.

Preparing Mammograms for Classification Task: Processing and Analysis of Mammograms
Статья научная
Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women in the world. Mammography has become indispensable for early detection of breast cancer. Radiologists interpret patients' mammograms by looking for some significant visual features for decision making. These features could have different interpretations based on expert's opinion and experience. Therefore, to solve the problem of different interpretations among experts, the use of computer in facilitating the processing and analysis of mammograms has become necessary. This study enhanced and segmented suspicious areas on mammograms obtained from Radiology Department, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Also, Features were extracted from the segmented region of interests in order to prepare them for classification task. The result of implementation of enhancement algorithm used on mammograms shows all the subtle and obscure regions thereby making suspicious regions well visible which in turn helps in isolating the regions for extraction of textural features from them. Also, the result of the feature extraction shows pattern that will enable a classifier to classify these mammograms to one of normal, benign and malignant classes.

In early 2020, the world was shocked by the outbreak of COVID-19. World Health Organization (WHO) urged people to stay indoors to avoid the risk of infection. Thus, more people started to shop online, significantly increasing the number of e-commerce users. After some time, users noticed that a few irresponsible online retailers misled customers by hiking product prices before and during the sale, then applying huge discounts. Unfortunately, the “discounted” prices were found to be similar or only slightly lower than standard pricing. This problem occurs because users were unable to monitor product pricing due to time restrictions. This study proposes a Web application named PriceCop to help customers’ monitor product pricing. PriceCop is a significant application because it offers price prediction features to help users analyse product pricing within the next day; thus, it can help users to plan before making purchases. The price prediction model is developed by using Linear Regression (LR) technique. LR is commonly used to determine outcomes and used as predictors. Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) are used as a comparison to evaluate the accuracy of the LR technique. LSSVM-ABC was initially proposed for stock market price predictions. The results show the accuracy of pricing prediction using LSSVM-ABC is 84%, while it is 62% when LR is employed. ABC is integrated into SVM to optimize the solution and is responsible for the best solution in every iteration. Even though LSSVM-ABC predicts product pricing more accurately than LR, this technique is best trained using at least a year’s worth of product prices, and the data is limited for this purpose. In the future, the dataset can be collected daily and trained for accuracy.
