Abstract

This research paper focuses on enhancing the frequent pattern growth (FP-growth) algorithm, an advanced version of the Apriori algorithm, by employing a parallelization approach using the Apache Spark framework. Association rule mining, particularly in healthcare data for predicting and diagnosing diabetes, necessitates the handling of large datasets which traditional methods may not process efficiently. Our method improves the FP-growth algorithm’s scalability and processing efficiency by leveraging the distributed computing capabilities of apache spark. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of diabetes data, focusing on extracting frequent itemsets and association rules to predict diabetes onset. The results demonstrate that our parallelized FP-growth (PFP-growth) algorithm significantly enhances prediction accuracy and processing speed, offering substantial improvements over traditional methods. These findings provide valuable insights into disease progression and management, suggesting a scalable solution for large-scale data environments in healthcare analytics.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a highly dangerous disease and the leading cause of cancer related deaths among women. Early detection of breast cancer is considered quite challenging but can offer significant benefits, as various treatment interventions can be initiated earlier. The focus of this research is to develop a model to detect breast cancer based on ultrasound results using deep learning algorithms. In the initial stages, several preprocessing processes, including image transformation and image augmentation were performed. Two types of models were developed: utilizing mask files and without using mask files. Two types of models were developed using four deep learning algorithms: residual network (ResNet)-50, VGG16, vision transformer (ViT), and data-efficient image transformer (DeiT). Various algorithms, such as optimization algorithms, loss functions, and hyperparameter tuning algorithms, were employed during the model training process. Accuracy used as the performance metric to measure the model’s effectiveness. The model developed with ResNet-50 became the best model, achieving an accuracy of 94% for the model using mask files. In comparison, the model developed with ResNet-50 and DeiT became the best model for the model without mask files, with an accuracy of 80%. Therefore, it can be concluded that using mask files is crucial for producing the best-performing model.

Abstract

Binary adders are fundamental in digital circuit designs, including digital signal processors and microprocessor data path units. Consequently, significant research has focused on improving adders’ power-delay efficiency. The carry tree adder (CTA) is alternatively referred to as the parallel prefix adder (PPA), is among the fastest adders, achieving superior performance in very large scale integrated (VLSI) implementations through efficient concurrent carry generation and propagation. This study introduces approximate PPAs (AxPPAs) by applying approximations in prefix operators (POs). Four types of AxPPAs approximate kogge-stone, approximate brent-kung, approximate ladner fischer, and approximate sparse kogge-stone-were designed and implemented on FPGA with bit widths up to 64-bit. Delay measurements from static timing analysis using Xilinx ISE design suite version 14.7 indicate that AxPPAs exhibit better latency performance than traditional PPAs. The AxPPA sparse kogge-stone, in particular, demonstrated superior area and speed performance, achieving a delay of 2.501ns for a 16-bit addition.

Abstract

The semiconductor industry faces substantial challenges with planar integration (2D ICs), prompting a significant shift towards vertical IC integration, known as three-dimensional IC (3D ICs). This deliberate slant not only amplifies bandwidth and boosts system action but also effectively reduces power consumption through scaling. 3D ICs intricately coordinate IC chips by vertically stacking them and establishing electrical connections using through silicon vias (TSVs). TSV clamour coupling emerges as a critical factor influencing system performance, particularly between signalcarrying TSVs (ETSV) and victim TSVs. This study showcases significant advancements in electrical integrity by effectively minimizing clamour coupling from TSVs to the silicon substrate. This is achieved through the application of CMOS-compatible dielectric materials as liner structures. Various proposed structures have been meticulously analyzed across an assortment of parameters, encompassing electrical signals and high frequencies. Moreover, the study rigorously investigates clamour coupling across different types of TSVs, including ETSV, thermal TSV (TTSV), and heat sources. Perylene-N emerges as a standout performer among the tested liner materials, demonstrating superior clamour coupling performance across all proposed models, even at higher frequencies such as THz. In this study a novel dielectric material Perylene-N compared with the conventional SiO2 (silicon dioxide). Notably, Perylene-N exhibited a remarkable 33 dB improvement in noise coupling performance at terahertz (THz) frequencies. The results were thoroughly verified and validated in the research work.

Abstract

As the demand for efficient and cost-effective greenhouse microclimate surveillance has increased, we developed a microclimate surveillance system using microcontroller technology that automatically collects temperature and relative humidity data and transmits it to a cloud server for remote surveillance and data analysis. 1971 microclimate data points were acquired over a 20-day evaluation period, providing insights into greenhouse environmental conditions with a negative linear regression between air temperature and relative humidity within the greenhouse and an R-squared of 0.73. This illustrates the system’s ability to record and quantify environmental conditions data. Additionally, we derived a predictive model to manage microclimate conditions using the regression formula y = -6.12X + 238.33, where X represents the air temperature and y represents the relative humidity. All the results show that the acquired data can be used to make decisions to optimize plant growth. The prototype we developed can be an alternative option for small and medium-sized farms that need a greenhouse surveillance system to improve operational efficiency and reduce surveillance costs. The system can be further developed by implementing additional sensors to monitor light intensity, wind speed, or soil moisture and further data analysis models to optimize greenhouse management.

Abstract

Diagnosing silent diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) at an early stage is challenging due to the absence of symptoms, making early detection crucial to slowing disease progression. This study addresses this challenge by introducing a novel feature, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), calculated using the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula. We enriched our dataset by incorporating this feature, effectively increasing the volume of data at our disposal. eGFR serves as a critical indicator for diagnosing CKD and assessing its progression, thereby guiding clinical management. Our focus is on developing machine learning and deep learning models for the efficient and precise prediction of CKD. To ensure the reliability of our approach, we employed robust data collection and preprocessing techniques, resulting in refined information for model training. Our methodology integrates various machine learning and deep learning models, including four machine learning algorithms: adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), random forest (RF), Bagging, and artificial neural network (ANN), as well as a hybrid model. Our proposed ANN_AdaBoost model not only introduces a novel perspective by addressing an identified gap but significantly enhances CKD prediction.
