Detecting and Preventing Common Web Application Vulnerabilities: A Comprehensive Approach
Статья научная
Web applications are becoming very important in our lives as many sensitive processes depend on them. Therefore, it is critical for safety and invulnerability against malicious attacks. Most studies focus on ways to detect these attacks individually. In this study, we develop a new vulnerability system to detect and prevent vulnerabilities in web applications. It has multiple functions to deal with some recurring vulnerabilities. The proposed system provided the detection and prevention of four types of vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting attacks, remote code execution, and fingerprinting of backend technologies. We investigated the way worked for every type of vulnerability; then the process of detecting each type of vulnerability; finally, we provided prevention for each type of vulnerability. Which achieved three goals: reduce testing costs, increase efficiency, and safety. The proposed system has been validated through a practical application on a website, and experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness in detecting and preventing security threats. Our study contributes to the field of security by presenting an innovative approach to addressing security concerns, and our results highlight the importance of implementing advanced detection and prevention methods to protect against potential cyberattacks. The significance and research value of this survey lies in its potential to enhance the security of online systems and reduce the risk of data breaches.

Detection of Plagiarism in Arabic Documents
Статья научная
Many language-sensitive tools for detecting plagiarism in natural language documents have been developed, particularly for English. Language-independent tools exist as well, but are considered restrictive as they usually do not take into account specific language features. Detecting plagiarism in Arabic documents is particularly a challenging task because of the complex linguistic structure of Arabic. In this paper, we present a plagiarism detection tool for comparison of Arabic documents to identify potential similarities. The tool is based on a new comparison algorithm that uses heuristics to compare suspect documents at different hierarchical levels to avoid unnecessary comparisons. We evaluate its performance in terms of precision and recall on a large data set of Arabic documents, and show its capability in identifying direct and sophisticated copying, such as sentence reordering and synonym substitution. We also demonstrate its advantages over other plagiarism detection tools, including Turnitin, the well-known language-independent tool.

Detection of anomalies in fetus using convolution neural network
Статья научная
Parental diagnosis is required during mid-pregnancy period from 18-22 weeks in order to know the well-being of the fetus. This diagnosis is usually done through ultrasound scanning. Ultrasound scanning which is also called as sonogram, is an ultrasound based medical imagining technique used to envision the fetus and its development during the gestation period. If there is an abnormality in the diagnosed fetus then the parents and the doctors can do emergency parental care. Anomalies in Fetus occur before birth. Detecting fetal anomalies is a difficult task since it needs expertise and also requires a considerable amount of time, which will not be convenient at an emergency situation. In order to improve the diagnosis accuracy and to reduce the diagnosis time, it has become a demanding issue to develop an efficient and reliable medical decision support system. In this paper we present machine learning approach, such as convolution neural network which is most commonly applied to examine visual pretense. The main motive behind using CNN is due to their accuracy, fewer memory requirements and better training of images. This approach have shown great potential to be applied in the development of medical decision support system for Fetal anomalies which need immediate care.

Determination of representativity for Bangla vowel perceptual space
Статья научная
In this article, representativity between two multidimensional acoustical spaces of vowel has been formulated based on the geometric mean of correlation of average directional vector, variance-covariance matrices, and Mahalanobis distance. Generally, the multidimensional spaces formed by different combinations of acoustical features of vowel are considered as the vowel perceptual spaces. Therefore, ten bangla vowel-sounds (/অ/ [/a/], /আ/ [/ã/], / ই/ [/i/] , /ঈ/ [/ĩ/], /উ/ [/u/], / ঊ/ /ũ/, /এ/ [/e/], /ঐ/ [/ai/] , /ও/ [/o/] and /ঔ/ [/au/]) are collected from each native Bengali speaker to build the perceptual space of the speaker using the acoustical features of vowels. Similarly, total nine perceptual spaces are constructed from nine speakers and these are utilized to evaluate representativity. Using the proposed method, representativities of differently constructed perceptual spaces have been evaluated and compared numerically. Furthermore, dominating and representative acoustical features are also identified from the principal components of the perceptual spaces.

Determining Contribution of Features in Clustering Multidimensional Data Using Neural Network
Статья научная
Feature contribution means that what features actually participates more in grouping data patterns that maximizes the system’s ability to classify object instances. In this paper, modified K-means fast learning artificial neural network (K-FLANN) was used to cluster multidimensional data. The operation of neural network depends on two parameters namely tolerance (δ) and vigilance (ρ). By setting the vigilance parameter, it is possible to extract significant attributes from an array of input attributes and thus determine the principal features that contribute to the particular output. Exhaustive search and Heuristic search techniques are applied to determine the features that contribute to cluster data. Experiments are conducted to predict the network's ability to extract important factors in the presented test data and comparisons are made between two search methods.

Determining the Degree of Knowledge Processing in Semantics through Probabilistic Measures
Статья научная
World Wide Web is a huge repository of information. Retrieving data patterns is facile by using data mining techniques. However identifying the knowledge is tough, tough because the knowledge should be meaningful. Semantics, a branch of linguistics, defines the process of supplying knowledge to the computer system. The underlying idea of semantics is to understand the language model and its correspondence with the meaning associability. Though semantics indicates a crucial ingredient for language processing, the degree of work composition done in this area is minimal. This paper presents an ongoing semantic research problem thereby investigating the theory and rule representation. Probabilistic approach for semantics is demonstrated to address the semantics knowledge representation. The inherit requirement for our system is to have the language syntactically correct. This approach identifies the meaning of the sentence at word-level. The accuracy of the proposed architecture is studied in terms of recall and precision measures. From the experiments conducted, it is clear that the probabilistic model for semantics is able to associate the language model at a preliminary level.

Determining the Optimum Time Quantum Value in Round Robin Process Scheduling Method
Статья научная
The process scheduling, is one of the most important tasks of the operating system. One of the most common scheduling algorithms used by the most operating systems is the Round Robin method in which, the ready processes waiting in ready queue, seize the processor for a short period of time known as the quantum (or time slice) circularly. In this paper, a non-linear programming mathematical model is developed to determine the optimum value of the time quantum, in order to minimize the average waiting time of the processes. The model is implemented and solved by Lingo 8.0 software on four selected problems from the literature.

Developing a Virtual Group Decision Support System Based on Fuzzy Hybrid MCDM Approach
Статья научная
Organizational decisions involve with unusually vague and conflicting criteria. This controversy increases empirical uncertainties, disputes, and the resulting consequences of these decisions. One possible method in subduing this problem is to apply quantitative approaches to provide a transparent process for resolute conclusions which enables decision makers to formulate accurate and decisive on time decisions. Although numerous methods are presented in the literature, the majority of them aim to develop theoretical models. However, this article aims to develop and implement an integrated fuzzy virtual MCDM model based on fuzzy AHP and fuzzy TOPSIS as a decision support system (DDS). Preventing disadvantageous face-to-face decision-making by achieving positive benefit from virtual decision making causes the proposed DDS to be suitable for making crucial decisions such as supplier selection, employee selection, employee appraisal, R&D project selection, etc. The proposed DDS has been implemented in an optical company in Iran.

Development of Data Acquisition Console and Web Server Using Raspberry Pi for Marine Platforms
Статья научная
Marine vessels in today's age are fitted with a number of state of the art systems required for their smooth operation. The compartments which house such systems along with the restricted compartments onboard ships such as the ships galley, dry rations store, cold rooms, battery compartments etc are required to be monitored on real time basis for temperature, pressure, humidity for detecting various hazards like fire, flooding etc. In addition, military platforms also need to monitor compartments such as the armory and magazines to avoid damage to munitions and prevent unauthorized access. The present project aims to develop a proof of concept prototype real time parameter monitoring and motion detection system for critical/restricted compartments on marine platforms with data logging capability. Various sensors forming a sensor suite have been interfaced to the Raspberry Pi board, forming the Data Acquisition Console which is the nodal control center. As most marine vessels are fitted with a shipboard Local Area Network, the project utilizes this existing network for relaying data. The console is placed in the compartment where parameters are to be monitored and the measured data is acquired and transferred via wireless (using Access Points (APs) operating on Wi-Fi/ 802.11 network) or via wired connectivity with the nearest switch and be accessed by concerned personnel at various nodes/ computer on the . The performance of the DAC was successfully ascertained by comparison of sensor performance with other independent sensor readings. The measurement errors were found to be within the permissible accuracy limits of the sensors. Motion detection was achieved by using PIR motion The probability of detection (Pd) for the motion sensor was calculated by conducing iterative motion tests with favorable results. Data is displayed in a web-based dashboard Graphical User Interface.

UN Department of Economics and Social Affairs predicted that the world population will increase by 2 billion in 2050 with over 50% from the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Considering the level of poverty and food insecurity in the region, there is an urgent need for a sustainable increase in agricultural produce. However, farming approach in the region is primarily traditional. Traditional farming is characterized by high labor costs, low production, and under/oversupply of farm inputs. All these factors make farming unappealing to many. The use of digital technologies such as broadband, Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud computing, and Big Data Analytics promise improved returns on agricultural investments and could make farming appealing even to the youth. However, initial cost of smart farming could be high. Therefore, development of a dedicated IoT cloud-based platform is imperative. Then farmers could subscribe and have their farms managed on the platform. It should be noted that majority of farmers in SSA are smallholders who are poor, uneducated, and live in rural areas but produce about 80% of the food. They majorly use 2G phones, which are not internet enabled. These peculiarities must be factored into the design of any functional IoT platform that would serve this group. This paper presents the development of such a platform, which was tested with smart irrigation of maize crops in a testbed. Besides the convenience provided by the smart system, it recorded irrigation water saving of over 36% compared to the control method which demonstrates how irrigation is done traditionally.

Статья научная
A bilingual concept lexicon is of significance for Information Extraction (IE), Machine Translation (MT), Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) and the like. Myanmar-English Bilingual WordNet like Lexicon (MEBWL) is developed to fulfill the requirements of Language Acquisition (LA). However, it is reasonably difficult to build such a lexicon is quite challenging in time and cost consuming. To overcome this challenging, this paper integrates linguistic resources, including Myanmar-English dictionary, English-Myanmar dictionary and WordNet to construct a Myanmar-English WordNet like lexicon by acquiring the lexical and conceptual knowledge from WordNet and Myanmar English Machine Readable Dictionaries (MRDs). The system includes three phases which include the MRD extraction phase, the link analyzing phase and the WordNet construction phase. The first phase converts the data from multiple resources with different format into a common format and joins and aligns the scattered data for smoothly access and group the data according their part of speech (POS). The link analyzing phase analyzes, classifies and generates candidates of translation links. In the constructing phase, MEBWL is constructed from the verified translation link and WordNet. Beside then, to support the inflected word of Myanmar to English words, morphological processor is designed.

Development of System for Automated & Secure Generation of Content (ASCGS)
Статья научная
Automation of manual work and systems is a vast growing trend as it brings in efficiency and quality in work. Online and offline aptitude exams are conducted by organizations and institutions for accessing the skills of students. An aptitude test is an effective method for testing the students however the creation of database for conducting aptitude tests is an uphill task, because the organization has to maintain to a very large database consisting of thousands of questions and the content has to be changed periodically to avoid repeating of questions. An Automated & Secure Content Generation System (ASCGS) is a framework that provides automated creation of aptitude questions by converting a single of type of question into multiple questions by altering its variables. Also the system automates the process of calculating the answer for every question by using its formula. Security in the system is provided by the means of encryption. The present system lags in many perspectives like every question in has to be created manually and also the answer for the question has to be computed manually. Since the entire work is being done manually so there is a high risk that some questions may contain error due to human fault and also the cost and effort required to create the content is large. The proposed system overcomes these shortcomings of the existing system as only one format is required to be created for one type of question thus saving time and human effort. Also it is no longer required to do mathematical calculation manually as it is done by the system, the user has to insert only the formula. The present system requires the organization very long time ranging from few weeks to few months for generating ten thousand questions. With the new system the same work can be done within few days time and with minimal cost. With the development of the system organizations will be relieved from the tedious work of content creation and also management of content will become easier and efficient. The software will enable the institutions to create aptitude questions of different levels thus enabling the institute to conduct aptitude tests for all the students of different classes based on their levels.
