In this paper, the quantized consensus tracking problem for continuous-time multi-agent systems (MASs) under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks is studied. Based on the dynamical quantized strategy, a sampling-based control protocol is developed, which is suitable for the high-order MASs under the general directed communication topology with limited bandwidth. To resist the DoS attacks, the scaling function is designed with a zooming-in and zooming-out approach. Sufficient conditions for consensus tracking problem under DoS attacks are provided, and the quantizer is unsaturated under the specified quantization level. Finally, simulation examples are provided to validate the theoretical results.

Accurate and timely diagnosis of kidney tumors is crucial for effective treatment. This study proposes a novel approach utilizing deep learning techniques and the firefly algorithm (FA) to enhance kidney tumor segmentation. By optimizing feature selection and CNN hyperparameters, FA improves the accuracy and efficiency of the detection system. The proposed method involves pre-processing medical images, extracting features using CNNs, and fine-tuning the model with FA. Experiments on a public dataset demonstrate significant improvements in classification metrics compared to traditional methods. The FA-optimized model provides clinicians with a valuable tool for accurate kidney tumor detection and classification, leading to improved patient outcomes.

Membrane computing, which is also known as a P system, is a computational model inspired by the activity of living cells. Several P systems, which work in a polynomial number of steps, have been proposed for solving computationally hard problems. However, most of the proposed algorithms use an exponential number of membranes, and reduction of the number of membranes must be considered in order to make a P system a more realistic *** the present paper, we propose an asynchronous P system using branch and bound for solving the minimum Steiner tree. The proposed P system solves the minimum Steiner tree with n vertices and m edges in O(n 2 ) parallel steps or O(2 m n 2 ) sequential *** evaluate the number of membranes used in the proposed P system using experimental simulations. Our experimental results show validity and efficiency of the proposed P system.

Skin cancer, which stands as the most prevalent form of human malignancy, is primarily identified through visual examination. The procedure for identifying skin lesions typically starts with an initial clinical assessment, which might be followed by dermoscopic analysis, a biopsy, and a subsequent histopathological checkup. Image-based Skin lesion classification presents a significant challenge due to the subtle and intricate variations in their appearance. Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) show promising results in managing diverse and intricate tasks involving a wide array of finely detailed object categories. Skin lesions Classification is shown in this work initially using a six-layered CNN performed on the skin cancer dataset to classify seven classes of lesions with 10015 images. Exploratory data analysis of the dataset is performed to identify any outliers and to verify the balance of samples in each class. It was observed after 50 epochs, the training accuracy was 98.03% and the testing accuracy was 67.40%. To avoid the overfitting observed in the CNN approach, the pre-trained transfer learning models, Resnet50 and Densenet121 were finetuned with data augmentation to handle the imbalance of samples present in seven classes. The results obtained prove that the Densenet121 model achieves high performance compared with the other Resnet50 model after augmentation.

Wireless communications are often affected by out-age events caused by fading and interference. This paper focuses on investigating the communication throughput and latency in a line-topology, multi-hop network where outages may occur on network links. We focus on three types of intermediate network node schemes: random linear network coding (RLNC), store-and-forward (SF), and hop-by-hop retransmission. The analytical formulas for the maximum throughput and the end-to-end latency are provided for each scheme. To gain a more explicit understanding, we conducted a scalability analysis of the maximum throughput and latency as the network length
$L$
increases. We observed that the same order of throughput/latency holds across a wide range of outage functions for each scheme. Specifically, the SF scheme achieves at most
$\Theta(\frac{1}{L})$
throughput, while retransmission and RLNC achieve a constant throughput. However, the retransmission scheme relies on ideal feedback, which is rarely satisfied in practice, whereas RLNC does not. We conducted latency comparisons among various schemes under several constraints regarding the volume of data for transmission.
