Abstract

Rat infestations are a major threat to agricultural productivity in open-field environments, causing significant crop damage and economic losses. Conventional control methods, such as chemical poisons and mechanical traps, are often labor-intensive, environmentally harmful, and pose risks to non-target species. This research focuses on the design, development, and testing of an energy-saving ultrasonic rat repeller prototype tailored for open agricultural fields, aiming to provide an environmentally friendly and practical pest control solution. The prototype integrates a microcontroller-based control system, ultrasonic transducer, and energy-efficient power management, including low-power modes and intermittent frequency emission to reduce energy consumption while maintaining repellent effectiveness. Laboratory testing verified frequency accuracy, operational stability, and power usage, while field testing assessed rat activity reduction, crop damage mitigation, and device endurance under varying environmental conditions. Results indicate that the prototype effectively deters rats within its coverage area, reduces crop damage, and consumes significantly less energy compared to conventional continuous-emission devices. The study demonstrates the feasibility of energy-efficient ultrasonic technology for sustainable pest management and provides a foundation for future enhancements, such as solar-powered operation, IoT-based monitoring, and multi-pest control integration.

Abstract

Rat infestation by Rattus argentiventer remains a serious problem in irrigated rice fields, causing significant yield losses and threatening sustainable rice production. Conventional control methods rely heavily on chemical rodenticides, which pose environmental risks and show declining long-term effectiveness. Ultrasonic deterrent technology has been proposed as an alternative; however, its effectiveness in open-field agricultural environments remains inconsistent and poorly understood. This study aims to analyze the behavioral and migration responses of rice field rats to different ultrasonic frequency ranges to clarify the mechanisms underlying ultrasonic deterrence. A field-based experimental design was applied using paired treatment and control plots, with ultrasonic frequencies ranging from 20 to 40 kHz. Rat activity and movement were monitored through camera traps and motion sensors, and spatial behavior was analyzed using activity reduction rates, migration distance, and path deviation indices. The results indicate a clear frequency-dependent response, with ultrasonic exposure at 30–35 kHz producing the strongest avoidance behavior and directional displacement. These findings suggest that ultrasonic deterrence primarily induces spatial displacement rather than population elimination and provide important implications for the development of adaptive ultrasonic–IoT systems to support smart and sustainable pest management in rice agriculture.

Abstract

Rat infestation remains a major constraint to rice production, causing significant yield losses and threatening food security in many rice-growing regions. Although ultrasonic deterrent systems have been promoted as an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical rodenticides, their effectiveness is often inconsistent due to static frequency emission and rapid behavioral habituation. This study proposes an adaptive scheduling model for ultrasonic frequencies based on real-time environmental data to enhance long-term deterrence effectiveness. The model integrates environmental sensing, stochastic frequency selection, and habituation-aware control within a context-aware scheduling framework. Environmental data were acquired using field-deployed sensors, while the adaptive algorithm dynamically adjusted ultrasonic frequency, emission duration, and interval. Field evaluations compared the proposed system with static ultrasonic control. Results demonstrate sustained spectral diversity, reduced habituation, and significant decreases in rat activity and crop damage, alongside improved energy efficiency. These findings highlight the potential of adaptive ultrasonic control as a scalable and sustainable solution for smart agriculture, supporting chemical-free pest management and precision rice farming.

Abstract

The most important element of higher education was students, therefore every university must continue to improve services in the future, and one of them was by using decision support. This case could be done by utilizing the University of Big Data. Predicting the number of prospective students in higher education was done by utilizing data mining and multiple linear regression approaches. By using 2 independent variables, namely administration costs (X1), accreditation score (X2), and the number of students who was registered each year as dependent variable (Y). For the test data, it used database for the last 13 years. By using multiple linear regression, the intercept value was sought and the coefficient of determination until the regression coefficient was obtained with the equation Y = 45.28 + -0.02.X1 + 121.58.X2, noted that if X2 was constant, the increasing of one unit was in X1 would have the effect of increasing -0.02 units on Y. Secondly, if X1 was constant, the increasing of one unit was in X2, would have the effect of increasing 121.58 units in Y. Thirdly, if X1 and X2 were equal to zero, the magnitude of Y was 45.28 units. Therefore, the proposed approach could be provided the acceptable predictive results.

Abstract

Rodent infestation remains a major constraint in rice production, causing significant yield losses and threatening agricultural sustainability. Conventional rodent control methods, such as chemical rodenticides and manual trapping, often exhibit limited effectiveness and pose environmental and health risks. This study aims to evaluate the performance of an ultrasonic–Internet of Things (IoT)-based rice field rodent repellent system in reducing attack intensity and crop yield losses under real field conditions. The research employed a comparative field experiment conducted over one planting season, involving treated plots equipped with the ultrasonic–IoT system and untreated control plots managed using conventional practices. Rodent attack intensity was assessed through indicators including the percentage of damaged rice clumps, active burrow counts, and observable rodent activity, while yield loss was measured based on harvested grain output (kg/ha). System performance was further evaluated through the consistency of ultrasonic signal emission and the reliability of IoT-based data transmission. The results demonstrate a clear reduction in rodent attack intensity in treated fields compared to control fields, accompanied by a significant decrease in yield loss. The ultrasonic–IoT system operated reliably throughout the observation period, maintaining stable signal emission and continuous data logging despite variable field conditions. However, environmental factors such as weather variability and rodent migration patterns influenced system effectiveness to some extent. Overall, the findings indicate that the ultrasonic–IoT-based rodent repellent system is an effective, environmentally friendly, and data-driven approach that supports smart and sustainable agriculture. The system is best implemented as part of an integrated pest management strategy to enhance long-term effectiveness and scalability.

Abstract

The threat of cyber attacks against critical defense systems is becoming increasingly complex and dynamic, requiring adaptive and proactive prediction mechanisms. This study aims to develop a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model to predict cyber attacks on critical defense systems with high accuracy and generalization capabilities against new attacks. The CICIDS2020 dataset was used to train and test the model, with 70% of the data allocated for training, 15% for validation, and 15% for testing. The RNN architecture was optimized by selecting the number of hidden layers, the number of neurons per layer, the activation function, and the application of dropout and regularization to minimize the risk of overfitting. The model was trained using the Backpropagation Through Time (BPTT) algorithm and evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC metrics. The results show that RNN outperforms LSTM, Random Forest, and SVM algorithms, with an accuracy of 97.8%, precision of 96.5%, recall of 95.9%, F1-score of 96.2%, and AUC of 0.981, and is capable of detecting rare attacks. These findings confirm the effectiveness of RNN in capturing long-term temporal patterns in cyberattack data and providing adaptive predictions for new attacks. The practical implications of this research include strengthening critical defense systems through early detection and real-time mitigation of cyberattacks, as well as providing a basis for the development of reliable proactive security systems.

Abstract

Defense supply chains face critical security challenges including counterfeit components, unauthorized access, data tampering, and supply chain attacks that compromise operational integrity and national security. Existing blockchain implementations suffer from limited scalability, inadequate threat detection mechanisms, and insufficient integration with modern AI technologies for real-time security monitoring. This research develops an AI-Enhanced Blockchain Security Framework combining smart contracts with distributed ledger technology specifically designed for defense supply chain management. The framework employs multi-signature authentication, cryptographic verification, and machine learning-based anomaly detection across a three-layer architecture (blockchain layer, security layer, analytics layer). Validation using the DataCo supply chain dataset (180K operations) and Backstabber's knife collection attack patterns (174 documented attacks) demonstrates 94.7% attack detection accuracy, 87.3% reduction in unauthorized access attempts, and 99.2% data integrity verification rate. The system achieved 850 transactions per second (TPS) throughput with 1.8-second average latency and 40% cost reduction compared to traditional centralized systems. Smart contract execution showed 99.96% reliability across 10,000 test scenarios with automated enforcement of security policies. Statistical validation confirmed significant superiority over conventional approaches (p<0.001). Future work includes quantum-resistant cryptography, federated learning for privacy-preserving analytics, cross-chain interoperability, and integration with IoT sensors for real-time supply chain monitoring.
