Abstract

In the modern era, pollution from plastic waste has become a growing concern, particularly due to the widespread use of plastics like plastic bottles. This research explores a novel approach for recycling plastic waste by incorporating plastic bottles into bitumen for the enhancement of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). Alongside this, nano-materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, nanosilica, and nanoclays were used to further improve the mechanical, rheological, and durability properties of the modified bitumen. The plastic waste, in the form of plastic bottles, was added in varying proportions (3%, 5%, 8%, 10%, and 12% by weight of total mix) to investigate its effect on bitumen’s performance. The study conducted a series of tests, including Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR), Rotational Viscosity, Penetration Test, Softening Point Test, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), to evaluate the rheological and mechanical properties. The results revealed that the incorporation of plastic waste significantly improved the bitumen’s resistance to rutting, cracking, and fatigue, while nano-additives further enhanced high-temperature stability and elastic recovery. As the percentage of plastic waste in the bitumen increased, improvements in resistance to aging and moisture susceptibility were observed. Additionally, the plastic-modified bitumen exhibited better stability, improved resilience to temperature fluctuations, and enhanced mechanical strength. These findings suggest that combining plastic waste and nano-materials in bitumen can contribute to more sustainable road infrastructure, reducing plastic pollution while improving the performance and longevity of asphalt pavements.

Abstract

The proper reduction of noise inside CTscan Images remains crucial to achieve both better diagnosis results and clinical choices. This research analyzes through quantitative metrics the effectiveness of four popular noise reduction methods which include Fourier-based denoising and Wiener filtering as well as bilateral filtering and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) applied to more than 500 CTscan Images. The investigated methods were assessed quantitatively through Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) while Mean Squared Error (MSE) served as the additional metric for evaluation. The evaluated denoising methods revealed bilateral filtering as the best technique based on its 50.37 dB PSNR and 0.9940 SSIM together with its 0.5967 MSE. Denoising with Fourier-based methods succeeded in removing high-frequency noise however it produced PSNR of 25.89 dB along with SSIM of 0.8138 while maintaining MSE at 167.4976 indicating lost crucial Image information. The performance balance of Wiener filtering resulted in 40.87 dB PSNR and 0.9809 SSIM and 5.3270 MSE that outperformed Fourier denoising in SSIM yet demonstrated higher MSE. CLAHE produces poor denoising outcomes because it achieves the lowest PSNR of 21.51 dB together with SSIM of 0.5707, and the maximum MSE of 459.1894 while creating undesirable artifacts. This research stands out through a full evaluation of four denoising techniques on a big dataset to create more precise analysis than prior research. The research results show bilateral filtering to be the most reliable technique for CTscan Image noise reduction when maintaining picture quality and thus represents a suitable choice for clinical use. This research adds new information to medical imaging research about quality enhancement which directly benefits clinical diagnostics and therapeutic planning.

Abstract

Human genetic data, crucial for advancing personalized medicine, requires secure and privacy-preserving management solutions. Traditional approaches face challenges in scalability, security, and decentralized access control. This study proposes a blockchain-based framework leveraging Thirdweb and Ethereum smart contracts to address these issues. The framework integrates decentralized storage via IPFS for cost-efficient off-chain genetic data storage, while on-chain smart contracts manage access control, encryption, and audit trails. Utilizing Solidity for smart contract development, the system ensures role-based permissions, wallet-based authentication, and immutable transaction logging. Genetic data in FASTA format, sourced from NCBI, is encrypted and linked to IPFS hashes stored on the blockchain. The architecture supports dual interfaces—command-line for developers and a Thirdweb dashboard for end-users—enabling secure data upload, access, and monitoring. Testing demonstrated functional efficacy in data integrity, access verification, and audit capabilities. Results highlight the system’s ability to enhance privacy, eliminate intermediaries, and provide transparent data governance. The integration of Thirdweb further decentralizes operations, aligning with Web 3.0 principles. Key contributions include a scalable model for genetic data sharing, a customizable smart contract template, and a user-centric design. Future work should explore advanced encryption, real-world healthcare integration, and performance optimization under high-throughput conditions. This research bridges biotechnology and blockchain, offering a robust foundation for secure genomic data ecosystems.

Abstract

The development of quantum computing technology brings significant challenges to conventional crypto-graphic systems that are currently widely used in digital data security. Attacks made possible by quan-tum computers have the potential to weaken classical algorithms such as RSA and ECC, so a new ap-proach is needed that can guarantee long-term security. This study aims to systematically review the ef-fectiveness and readiness of the implementation of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms, espe-cially those that have been recommended by NIST, in order to strengthen the resilience of future cyberse-curity systems. The method used was a structured literature study with comparative analysis of lattice-based (Kyber and Dilithium), code-based (BIKE), and hash-based (SPHINCS+) PQC algorithms. Data are obtained from official documents of standards institutions as well as the latest scientific publications. The results of the analysis show that lattice-based algorithms offer an optimal combination of security and efficiency, and demonstrate high readiness to be implemented on limited devices. Compared to other al-gorithms, Kyber and Dilithium have advantages in terms of performance and scalability. Thus, this re-search contributes in the form of mapping the practical readiness of the PQC algorithm that has not been widely studied in previous studies, and can be the basis for the formulation of future cryptographic adop-tion policies. These findings are expected to help the transition process towards cryptographic systems that are resilient to quantum threats.

Abstract

Positive-Unlabeled (PU) learning has become a pivotal tool in scenarios where only positive samples are labeled, and negative labels are unavailable. However, in practical applications, the labeled positive data often contains noise such as mislabeled or outlier instances that can severely degrade model performance. This issue is exacerbated using traditional surrogate loss functions, many of which are unbounded and overly sensitive to mislabeled examples. To address this limitation, we propose a robust PU learning framework that integrates bounded loss functions, including ramp loss and truncated logistic loss, into the non-negative risk estimation paradigm. Unlike conventional loss formulations that allow noisy samples to disproportionately influence training, our approach caps each instance’s contribution, thereby reducing the sensitivity to label noise. We mathematically reformulate the PU risk estimator using bounded surrogates and demonstrate that this formulation maintains risk consistency while offering improved noise tolerance. A detailed framework diagram and algorithmic description are provided, along with theoretical analysis that bounds the influence of corrupted labels. Extensive experiments are conducted on both synthetic and real-world datasets under varying noise levels. Our method consistently outperforms baseline models such as unbiased PU (uPU) and non-negative PU (nnPU) in terms of classification accuracy, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC), and precision-recall area under the curve (PR AUC). The ramp loss variant exhibits particularly strong robustness without sacrificing optimization efficiency. These results demonstrate that incorporating bounded losses is a principled and effective strategy for enhancing the reliability of PU learning in noisy environments.

Abstract

The process of underwater image segmentation is also very difficult because the data collected by the underwater sensors and cameras is of very high complexity, and much data is generated and in that case, the data is not well seen, the color is distorted, and the features overlap. Current solutions, including K-means clustering and Random Forest classification, are unable to partition complex underwater images with high accuracy, or are unable to scale to large datasets, although the possibility of dynamically optimizing the number of clusters has not been fully explored. To fill these gaps, this paper advises a hybrid solution that combines K-means clustering, Random Forest classification and the Simulated Annealing optimization as a complete end to end system to maximize the efficiency and accuracy of segmentation. K-means clustering first divides images based on pixel intensity, Random Forest narrows its segmentation of images with features like texture, color and shape, and Simulated Annealing determines the desired number of clusters dynamically to segment images with minimal segmentation error. The segmentation error of the proposed method was 30 less than the baseline K-means segmentation accuracy of 65 percent and the proposed method segmentation accuracy was 95% with an optimal cluster number of 10 and a mean error of 7839.22. This hybrid system offers a large-scale, scalable system to underwater image processing that is robust and has applications in marine biology, environmental research, and autonomous underwater system exploration.
