The impact of the peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) on the efficiency of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication system is significantly mitigated through an innovative Reconfigurable Integrated Algorithm (RIA). In this study, the RIA combines the advantages of Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) and Companding Transformation (CT) techniques, enhancing the overall efficiency while reducing the signal distortion inherent in linear transformation methods. A unique reconfiguration process enables integration of PTS and CT to minimize PAPR. This process considers key parameters including multi-channel inputs and delay attenuation factors. Comparison of the RIA with conventional methods such as PTS, CT, selective mapping (SLM), and Tone Reservation (TR) reveals superior performance, as evidenced by the Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDFs) curve. Implementations of the algorithm using MATLAB R2022a demonstrate significant improvements in PAPR performance, showing gains of 0.55dB and 0.656dB compared to the PTS and CT methods respectively. Moreover, the novel RIA methodology exhibits enhanced transmission rates and lower Bit Error Rates (BER) relative to conventional methods. In conclusion, the proposed RIA offers a promising approach for optimizing OFDM system performance through efficient PAPR reduction. Its implementation can drive the advancement of telecommunications technologies and further understanding of OFDM communication systems.

Digital forensics, a crucial subset of cybersecurity, encompasses sophisticated tools and methodologies for the interpretation, analysis, and investigation of digital evidence, facilitating the identification and mitigation of cybercrimes and security breaches. With the advent of cryptocurrencies, an array of unique challenges has emerged in the domain of digital forensic investigations. This review elucidates the prevailing state of digital forensic practices vis-à-vis cryptocurrencies, emphasizing the obstacles and limitations inherent in probing decentralized and intricate technologies. Notable deficiencies in extant investigative practices were observed. Solutions proffered encompass the formulation of novel software applications tailored for cryptocurrency analyses, the integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities, and the employment of advanced analytics to discern patterns and irregularities within blockchain transactions. Furthermore, a pioneering methodology, merging traditional digital forensic strategies with blockchain-specific techniques, is posited for efficacious cryptocurrency inquiries. The analysis underscores the imperative for a renewed paradigm in digital forensic examinations to surmount the challenges integral to cryptocurrency probes. By forging novel methodologies and standardizing investigative procedures, support for legal enforcement endeavors can be enhanced, facilitating the efficacious detection and prosecution of cryptocurrency-associated misdemeanors.

In Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems, a considerable number of antennas are deployed at each base station, utilizing Time-shifted pilot contamination strategies. It was observed that Time-shifted pilot contamination can mitigate the adverse effects of pilot contamination, subsequently reducing Inter-group interference. However, constraints are introduced in the channel estimation process when pilots are time-shifted. To address the challenge of increasing mean square channel estimation errors in finite antenna massive MIMO systems, a novel approach using a Dual Quadratic Decomposition Algorithm for Interference Cancellation (DQDA-IC) is introduced. Through this methodology, data interference gets effectively canceled when base stations collaborate. Furthermore, compressive sensing techniques are employed, resulting in enhanced channel compensation and reduced pilot contamination in massive MIMO systems. Comparative experimental analysis, conducted using the MATLAB tool, pitted this method against two conventional techniques: Integer Linear Programming (ILP) and Q-Learning based Interference Control (QLIC). Results indicated that the DQDA-IC model surpassed its counterparts by achieving a 63% improvement in Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), a 56% reduction in Bit Error Rate (BER), and a 92% enhancement in spectral efficiency, all within a 40 ms computational timeframe.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a progressive neurological disorder, predominantly impacts cognitive functions, manifesting as memory loss and deteriorating thinking abilities. Recognized as the primary form of dementia, this affliction subtly commences within brain cells and gradually aggravates over time. In 2023, dementia's financial burden for elderly adults aged 65 and older was projected to reach \$345 billion, encompassing health care, long-term care, and hospice services. Alarmingly, Alzheimer's disease claims one in three seniors, outnumbering combined fatalities from breast and prostate cancer. Currently, the diagnostic landscape for Alzheimer's lacks definitive tests, and diagnoses based purely on biological definitions have been observed to possess low predictive accuracy. In the presented study, a diagnostic methodology has been proposed using machine learning models that harness image features derived from brain MRI scans. Specifically, nine salient image features, grounded in color, texture, shape, and orientation, were extracted for the study. Four classifiers — Naïve-Bayes, Logistic regression, XGBoost, and AdaBoost — were employed, as the challenge presented a binary classification scenario. A grid search parameter optimization technique was employed to fine-tune model configurations, ensuring optimal predictive outcomes. Conducted experiments utilizing the Kaggle dataset, and for each model, parameters were rigorously optimized. The XGBoost classifier demonstrated superior performance, achieving a test accuracy of 92%, while Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, and AdaBoost registered accuracies of 63%, 70%, and 72%, respectively. Relative to contemporary methods, the proposed diagnostic approach exhibits commendable accuracy in predicting AD. If AI-based predictive diagnostics for AD are realized using the strategies delineated in this study, significant benefits may be anticipated for healthcare practitioners.

Cyclins, commonly referred to as co-enzymes, are a pivotal family of proteins that modulate cellular growth by activating cell-cycle mediators, proving essential for the cell cycle. Due to the marked dissimilarity in their sequences, effective differentiation among cyclins remains a challenging endeavour. In this study, an innovative methodology was proposed, wherein the amino acid composition was utilized to inform an SVM-based classification approach. SVMs, being supervised machine learning algorithms, are typically employed for classification and regression tasks. From the data analyzed, eighteen (18) feature labels were extracted, culminating in an extensive set of thirteen thousand one hundred and fifty-one (13,151) discernible features. Employing the jackknife cross-validation technique revealed that this SVM-informed approach facilitated the identification of cyclins with an accuracy rate of 91.9%, a notable improvement from prior studies. Such advancements underscore the potential for more accurate and efficient differentiation of cyclins in future endeavours.
