Multimedia encryption innovation is one of the primary ways of securely and privately guaranteeing the security of media transmission. There are many advantages when utilizing the attributes of chaos, for example, arbitrariness, consistency, ergodicity, and initial condition affectability, for any covert multimedia transmission. Additionally, many more benefits can be introduced with the exceptional space compliance, unique information, and processing capability of real mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA). In this article, color image encryption employs a confusion process based on a hybrid chaotic map, first to split each channel of color images into n-clusters; then to create global shuffling over the whole image; and finally, to apply intrapixel shuffling in each cluster, which results in very disordered pixels in the encrypted image. Then, it utilizes the rationale of human mitochondrial genome mtDNA to diffuse the previously confused pixel values. Hypothetical examination and trial results demonstrate that the anticipated scheme exhibits outstanding encryption, as well as successfully opposes chosen/known plain text, statistical, and differential attacks.

A Compact Circular Rectenna for RF-Energy Harvesting at ISM Band

Lalbabu Prashad, Harish Chandra Mohanta, Heba G. Mohamed

Summary: A simple circular patch antenna with a partial ground plane is proposed for RF-energy harvesting at the ISM (2.45 GHz) band. The antenna resonates at 2.45 GHz with an input impedance of 50 ohms and a gain of 2.38 dBi. An L-section matching circuit with a voltage doubler is proposed to achieve excellent RF-to-DC transformation efficiency at low power input. The fabricated rectenna exhibits good characteristics in terms of return loss and realized gain, with 52% RF-to-DC transformation efficiency at 0 dBm power input. This research is important for powering low-power sensor nodes in wireless sensor applications.

A Novel Approach of Voltage Sag Data Analysis Stochastically: Study, Representation, and Detection of Region of Vulnerability

Jagannath Patra, Nitai Pal, Harish Chandra Mohanta, Reynah Akwafo, Heba G. Mohamed

Summary: A voltage sag caused by short circuit faults is a significant power quality problem that leads to financial losses in the industrial sector. This article introduces a creative strategy based on correlation and normal probability distribution to identify weak spots in a network where voltage may drop. The method involves simulating faults randomly throughout the system, analyzing voltage dip data using probability distribution and correlation concepts, and developing the region of vulnerability. The strategy is demonstrated using an IEEE 30-bus RTS system as a case study with MATLAB software.

Umair Ahmad Salaria, Muhammad Ilyas Menhas, Sohaib Manzoor, Faisal Mehmood Butt, Manzoor Ellahi, Nouman Ali, Orazbekov Zhassulan, Heba G. Mohamed

Summary: This paper proposes a quasi-oppositional population-based global particle swarm optimizer with inertial weights (QPGPSO- ω ) to solve environment friendly economic dispatch problems (EDPs) based on renewable energy sources (RESs). The optimization technique is applied to solve different scenarios including cases where only RESs are used and cases where combined emission-economic dispatch (CEED) problem is considered. The results show that the proposed QPGPSO- ω algorithm outperforms other optimization methods in terms of cost effectiveness.

Summary: In this study, an automatic and computationally effective model for identifying neuropeptides was proposed. The model utilized bigram position-specific scoring matrix (Bi-PSSM) and K-spaced bigram (KSB) to represent evolutionary information, and employed discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for noise reduction. Optimal features were selected from extracted features using Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), and trained via six classification models. The ensemble classification approach achieved a higher predictive accuracy of 94.47% on training sequences and 92.55% on independent sequences, which outperformed existing methods by 3%.

Afrah Naeem, Zeeshan Aslam, Tamara Al Shloul, Aqdas Naz, Muhammad Imran Nadeem, Mosleh Hmoud Al-Adhaileh, Yazeed Yasin Ghadi, Heba G. Mohamed

Summary: Due to the increase in illegal use of electricity, non-technical losses are rising in electricity distribution systems. The introduction of smart meters in the smart grid has led to new electricity theft attacks. Investigating abnormal electricity consumption patterns helps in detecting electricity thieves. Existing methods have poor accuracy in electricity theft detection (ETD) due to imbalanced datasets. We propose a novel sampling technique, named ROBC, to balance the dataset and a unique ETD model called DenseNet-GRU-LightGBM, which shows excellent results in ETD.
