Instance Segmentation and Labeling of Teeth from Dental X-Ray using Region Based Convolutional Neural Network

Radiological Examination of teeth is a primary step that a dentist usually takes to diagnose the problem before further treatment. The diagnosis involves searching for diseases ranging from cavities to tumors, So, correct diagnosis is vital for timely and precise treatment. This paper attempts to solve one of the elementary steps in diagnosis i,e, Labeling of Teeth, using Region-Based Convolutional Neural Networks that help reduce monotonous work for a dentist and provide segments of each tooth for further diagnosis of diseases with the use of Mask R-CNN. We used 200 panoramic X-Ray images of 4 categories to train, test and validate the model. Mask R-CNN with pre-trained weights of COCO Dataset is employed. We further tuned the weights of the dental X-ray dataset considered in the paper for better performance. On testing the learned model, the performance measures were encouraging.

An Integrated Neutrosophic AHP and TOPSIS Methods for Assessment Renewable Energy Barriers for Sustainable Development

Technologies of renewable energy (RE) play a vital role in increasing economic growth in many countries and present a solution for many social, ecological, and political problems. Though, RE faces many barriers that prevent its development. So, these barriers are ranked and identified in this work, including five main barriers and fifteen sub barriers. In addition, five strategies are identified and ranked. The first step in this work, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach used to rank main and sub barriers under Single Valued Neutrosophic Sets (SVNSs). Then Neutrosophic Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach assessed the five strategies. The outcomes of this work show that Commercial barriers ranked as the highest barriers and social-ecological ranked as the lowest barriers by using the AHP approach. Outcomes by neutrosophic TOPSIS show that capital assistant ranked as the highest strategies and RE goals ranked as the lowest strategies. This work can help decision-makers, governments for building a RE by using these strategies to overcome barriers that faced them.

An Introduction To The Symbolic Turiyam R-Modules and Turiyam Modulo Integers

Recently, Turiyam set is introduced for dealing the fourth dimensional data sets. These types of data sets exists when an expert unable to categorize them in Euclidean, Non-Euclidean, Hybrid or NeutroGeometry. To deal with these types of data set Turiyam matrix and its algebra is required. Hence the current paper introduce the concept of Symbolic Turiyam R-module as a generalization of the corresponding neutrosophic one by using the algebra of symbolic Turiyam set. The paper also presents concept pf finite Turiyam modulo integer and illustrate many examples to show and clarify the validity of this work.

A Framework for creating a Safety and Security Management System (SSMS)

Safety and security risks to critical infrastructure organizations are well known, and incidents in both fields have taken place. To help critical infrastructure organizations manage these areas, safety and security standards have been created.  The main aim of this paper is to present a framework that has been created to manage both safety and security by providing guidance on how to create a Safety and Security Management System (SSMS).   The framework identifies and remediates conflicts and issues between IT, OT, safety, and security. While also creating processes that can combine safety and security compliance to standards to reduce duplication of work and allow one process to manage both areas. A survey was carried out to understand if the framework would be of use to organizations and to better understand the issues users have with managing safety and security and how they manage conflicts that can occur.  The survey showed key areas of concern for organizations and how the framework can be of use to them.  It identified six themes from the research and identified improvements opportunities for the framework that can be implemented.

Trust Aware Aquila Optimizer based Secure Data Transmission for Information Management in Wireless Sensor Networks

The province of wireless sensor network (WSN) is increasing continuously because of wide-ranging applications, namely, monitoring environmental conditions, military, and many other fields. But trust management in the WSN is the main objective as trust was utilized once cooperation among nodes becomes crucial to attaining reliable transmission. Thus, a new trust-based routing protocol is introduced to initiate secure routing. This study focuses on the design of Trust Aware Aquila Optimizer based Secure Data Transmission for Information Management (TAAO-SDTIM) in WSN. The presented TAAO-SDTIM model mainly intends to achieve maximum security and information management in WSN. The presented TAAO-SDTIM model determines optimum set of routes to base station (BS) utilizing a fitness function involving three parameters like residual energy (RE), distance to BS (DBS), and trust level (TL). The incorporation of the trust level of the nodes in the route selection process aids in appropriately selecting highly secure nodes in the data transmission procedure. For ensuring the enhanced performance of the TAAO-SDTIM model, a wide range of experiments are executed and the results pointed out the improved outcomes of the TAAO-SDTIM model over the other recent approaches.
