Abstract

This research investigates the implementation of gamification-based learning in mathematics education at the elementary school level, aiming to enhance student engagement, academic performance, and teacher perceptions. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study involved quantitative data from standardized assessments and surveys, alongside qualitative insights from interviews and classroom observations. Results indicated a significant increase in student engagement, with 85% of participants reporting heightened interest in mathematics following the introduction of gamified activities. Academic performance improved, with an average increase of 15% in mathematics scores, corroborating findings from prior research that links gamification to enhanced learning outcomes. Teachers reported positive perceptions of gamification, noting increased student motivation and improved classroom dynamics, although challenges related to task complexity and time investment for implementation were also identified. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on gamification in education, highlighting its potential to create dynamic and interactive learning environments while emphasizing the need for adequate support and professional development for educators. The findings suggest that when implemented thoughtfully, gamification can significantly transform mathematics teaching, fostering critical thinking and collaboration, and ultimately inspiring a lifelong appreciation for the subject among elementary students.

Abstract

This research investigates the performance of three prominent routing protocols Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) in ad-hoc networks. Through comprehensive simulations, we evaluate key performance metrics including Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), End-to-End Delay, Routing Overhead, and Throughput across varying network densities and mobility conditions. The results demonstrate that AODV consistently outperforms DSR and OLSR, particularly in high-density and dynamic environments, achieving higher PDR and lower delays. DSR exhibits competitive performance under moderate conditions but struggles in dense scenarios due to increased overhead and route instability. OLSR, while effective in static networks, shows significant limitations in mobile environments, resulting in higher routing overhead and delays. The findings emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate routing protocols based on specific application requirements and network conditions. This research contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into the relative performance of these protocols, highlighting the need for ongoing exploration of adaptive and hybrid solutions to address the challenges faced in real-world applications of ad-hoc networks.

Abstract

Accurate segmentation of salt bodies in seismic images is a critical task in subsurface exploration, as salt structures often act as traps for hydrocarbons. Traditional manual and rule-based methods are time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies due to the complex morphology and low contrast of salt boundaries. In this study, we propose a robust multi-scale deep neural network framework designed to enhance salt body segmentation in seismic datasets. The framework leverages a multi-scale encoder-decoder architecture integrated with Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) and attention mechanisms to effectively capture both global context and fine-grained structural details. Evaluated on the publicly available TGS Salt Identification Challenge dataset, the proposed model outperforms several state-of-the-art baselines in terms of Intersection over Union (IoU), Dice coefficient, and overall segmentation accuracy. The results demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness in accurately delineating salt regions, even in the presence of noisy or ambiguous seismic data, offering a reliable tool for aiding geophysical interpretation and exploration.

Abstract

As cloud computing becomes increasingly central to modern digital operations, it has also become a primary target for Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. This research investigates the major vulnerabilities within cloud infrastructure that are commonly exploited by DDoS attackers and evaluates the effectiveness of various mitigation strategies. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining vulnerability assessment, simulated attack scenarios, and comparative performance analysis of traditional and advanced defense mechanisms, including rate limiting, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and machine learning-based anomaly detection. The findings reveal that key weaknesses in cloud systems such as shared resource models, unsecured APIs, and auto-scaling configurations can be leveraged to disrupt services or cause economic damage. The comparative evaluation highlights the limitations of conventional tools in handling sophisticated or large-scale attacks, while also showcasing the superior adaptability of SDN and AI-driven techniques under dynamic threat conditions. This research contributes to the field of cloud security by offering a comprehensive understanding of DDoS threat vectors, identifying effective defense combinations, and providing practical recommendations for strengthening the security posture of cloud systems. The study emphasizes the importance of proactive, layered, and intelligent defense frameworks to enhance the resilience of cloud-based infrastructures against evolving DDoS threats.
