Abstract

Ensuring the reliability and resilience of modern web applications remains a critical challenge due to increasing system complexity and dynamic runtime environments. This study proposes a modular self-healing framework based on the monitor–analyze–plan–execute over a shared knowledge base (MAPE-K) model, integrated with an AutoFix-inspired mechanism for adaptive fault recovery. Using a design and development research (DDR) approach, the system was implemented and evaluated through controlled fault injection experiments across twenty runtime failure scenarios, including service crashes, memory leaks, and database disconnections. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieved a mean fault detection F1-score of 90.7% and a recovery success rate of 93.2%. The AutoFix module reduced the average time-to-recovery (TTR) by 56.2%, achieving an average recovery time of 3.92 seconds. System throughput was maintained between 88% and 95% during fault conditions, with only a 3.1% increase in response time. Additionally, iterative feedback mechanisms improved recovery efficiency by 18.6% over multiple cycles. These findings indicate that the proposed framework provides a practical and extensible approach to enhancing fault tolerance in web applications through feedback-driven adaptation. While the current implementation relies on predefined recovery strategies, the integration of learning-oriented feedback establishes a foundation for future development of more autonomous self healing systems.

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) integrated with the internet of things (IoT) are hybrid technologies of interconnected systems. The IoT connects various devices, from sensors to smart gadget networks, and leverages a framework to provide secure solutions. This paper presents a lightweight adaptive proof-of-stake (APoS) blockchain framework design specifically for IoT-WSN. It focuses on efficient energy, scalability, and robust security. The proposed model integrates a hybrid APoS-delegated PoS (DPoS) consensus mechanism, trust-based routing, and a random forest (RF)-driven intrusion detection system (IDS). Extensive simulations of 100 to 10,000 nodes display energy usage of 0.018–0.019 mJ/node, breach of privacy rates of 0.02%, and throughput up to 9.92 tx/round for 1,000 nodes and 3.40 tx/round for GreenOrbs validation. The IDS achieves 94.21% accuracy for 1,000 nodes and 88.89% for GreenOrbs against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), Sybil, and Jamming attacks. Validated using the GreenOrbs dataset, the framework ensures real-world applicability in resource-constrained WSNs. Future research has validated and verified the use of APoS and PoS hybrid models for broader decentralised IoT–WSN deployments.

Abstract

Salt-and-pepper noise severely degrades the visual quality of digital images, par ticularly at high noise densities where conventional denoising techniques often fail. Median- and mean-based filters tend to oversmooth images and blur fine structures when the majority of pixels within a local window are corrupted. This paper proposes a robust dual-layer denoising framework for grayscale images that integrates rank-based prescreening, interquartile range (IQR)-based statis tical outlier detection using Tukey fences, and a lightweight post-processing sharpening stage. In the first layer, a rank-4 trimmed estimator suppresses ex treme impulse values and stabilizes local statistics. In the second layer, adap tive IQR thresholds are employed to detect and replace residual outliers, even in heavily corrupted neighborhoods. A final step involving selective sharpen ing combined with mild smoothing enhances edge details without amplifying residual noise. Extensive experiments on standard grayscale images (Lenna, Barbara, lake, boat, and living room) across salt-and-pepper noise levels from 10% to 90% demonstrate that the proposed approach consistently outperforms conventional methods, including mean, median, Gaussian, modified decision based unsymmetrical trimmed median filter (MDBUTMF), and pixel density based filter (BPDF). Quantitative evaluation indicates peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) values reaching 38.23dB, structural similarity index (SSIM) values up to 0.99, and significant reductions in mean squared error (MSE), particularly at higher noise densities. These results confirm that the proposed framework ef fectively suppresses noise while preserving edges and textures, making it well suited for practical applications such as medical imaging, remote sensing, and surveillance.

Abstract

Roads are essential infrastructure that support community mobility, and their condition significantly impacts road user safety. However, manual road damage detection remains inefficient, time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. To address this issue, this study proposed the YOLOv9 model for automated road damage detection and explored parameter combinations to optimize its performance. The proposed solution leverages the YOLOv9 model, which offers enhanced detection speed and accuracy compared to previous YOLO versions, due to its improved backbone and dynamic label assignment techniques. The method uses pre-trained weights and performs parameter tuning to adapt the model for identifying common road defects, including potholes, longitudinal, lateral, and alligator cracks. A publicly available dataset of road condition images was used for training and evaluation. Experimental results demonstrated that the optimized YOLOv9 model achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 62.8%, indicating a promising ability to detect multiple types of road damage accurately. This study highlights the potential of YOLOv9 as an effective tool for road monitoring systems, contributing to proactive maintenance strategies and more efficient infrastructure management.

Abstract

Using natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI), this study analyzes the frequencies of words and phrases in political leaders’ speeches to track patterns in political discourse. The objective is to identify language patterns, sentiments, and topics of political addresses using state of-the-art methods like automatic transcription (Whisper), Bidirectional gated recurrent unit (GRU) for sentiment analysis, and BERTopic. Through the use of Whisper’s state-of-the-art transcription service, we were able to transcribe the political speeches into machine-readable text, which in turn provides for other types of analysis. Bidirectional GRU classifies sentiment as positive, negative, or neutral with the aim to study how politicians use sentiment to manipulate their listeners. Furthermore, we use BERTopic for tracking the evolution of rhetoric, key trend summarisation, and topic mining and analysis. It illustrates how politicians employ discursive strategies and epilinguistic elements to manage the public mind and reality. Achievements and objectives are framed with positive and defensive emotions aimed at threats or criticisms. The emotional grab of it all is still important. It locates in these the thematic coherence and shifting sentiment that lie at the heart of political storytelling. It shows how political communication is evolving to stay relevant in the digital media age and delivers language – even real-time language pattern tracking – via the use of AI and big data. Further study is needed of multimodal and flexible techniques for analysing political discourse across languages and time periods.

Abstract

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are critical for preserving the Windows environment from an ever-changing collection of cyber threats. Current IDS uses deep learning (DL), which are heavy models if used for detection, while others use machine learning (ML) techniques, which require external feature extraction. To resolve this challenge, this paper introduces XGBNN, a new ensemble model that combines the benefits of ML and DL to identify and mitigate attacks against Windows machines effectively. The various ML methods are trained on the publicly available dataset to classify eight types of attacks in a Windows environment. Additionally, deep neural networks (DNNs) are proposed by optimizing the layers and hyperparameters to achieve the best accuracy. Then, the DNN model and XGBoost model are integrated to detect intrusions by utilizing the feature extraction ability of DNN and providing the intermediate features extracted from the last second layer of the DNN to the XGB for classification. The Ensemble model XGBNN optimizes features and offers better decisions. The proposed model achieves an exceptional accuracy of 100%, as demonstrated by the empirical results, and outperforms the benchmark models with an improvement of 0.004%. The purpose of this study is to highlight the effectiveness of hybrid architectures in intrusion detection. These architectures offer a more robust, scalable, and effective method to improve the security of the Windows system against more sophisticated attacks.

Abstract

The integration of distributed generation (DG) into power systems is increasing to meet the requirements of the utility system. Renewable energy sources are given priority due to their clean energy and high consistency advantages. Integration of DG into the system makes the bi-directional flow of current. Directional type overcurrent relays are usually used for protection of lines associated with bidirectional power flows. The installation of DGs, (especially, inverter-based) invites challenges to the existing protection schemes. A new modified characteristic equation-based approach is proposed in this paper to obtain the faster operational time of relays. The relay coordination scheme proposed in this paper is applied to an 8-bus test system integrated with the solar-based photovoltaic integrated distributed generator (PVIDG). The comparative analysis between the conventional and proposed approaches is done.

Abstract

In the process of making plastics, potentially dangerous substances like colourants or stabilisers are added. One example is phthalates, which are used to make PVC. The ecology is significantly impacted by the way plastic products are disposed of as well. The majority of plastics can take a long time to biodegrade lengthy time to break down if disposed of in a landfill. The issue of plastic trash is getting worse. Plastic is incredibly valuable due to its cheap availability and low cost of production; however, its recyclability has been oversold. Mycelium mould is a fantastic substitute for plastic. Mycelium is more efficient in terms of biodegradability and sustainability compared to plastic. The properties of Mycelium include heat insulation, fire resistance, water resistant, acoustic insulation, low weight, vegan meat, beauty products, and mainly bio-degradable. All these features make mycelium our only last chance to win the war against the plastic with greater potential than the other alternatives for plastics available in the market currently. Here, we have shown how mycelium can be grown in the most efficient way ever without any contamination and faster growth cycle. The primary goal is to lower the cost of mycelium mould, lessen mycelium spoiling, and accelerate its growth cycle by offering an ideal growing.
