In the United States of America (USA), every year 150,000 patients are registered with a secondary brain tumor that is not generated in the brain. This necessitates the need for early brain tumor detection, which in turn will help patients to live longer. For clinical evaluation and treatment, precise segmentation of brain tumors in MRI images is required. This process can be aided by machine learning and efficient image processing, but manual imaging can be time-consuming. In this study, we aim to develop an 3D automated segmentation algorithm with a novel loss function. A 3D attention UNET CNN model was trained using the novel loss function, which was calculated by taking the weighted average of dice loss and focal loss to overcome the class imbalance. Results show the enhancement in the segmentation performance of attention UNET model with an average increase of 5% in the Dice coefficient for all three classes. However, the model’s performance was not as strong for enhanced and core tumors. Further research may be needed to optimize performance in these areas.

Blockchain and related Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) are anticipated to transform a the world of web from a centralised document-sharing platform to a comprehensive decentralised platform that facilitates the exchange of digital currency and supports autonomous management of digital assets. The central server is susceptible to attacks, distrust and collusion. If the web can assure reliable, safe, and responsible updates among independent participants without the need for a centralized server, the perception of a decentralised web can be re-instantiated. One of the essential technologies required to restore the openness of the internet while maintaining its security is distributed ledger technology (DLT). DLTs may now totally handle business and legal transactions online, creating a more trustworthy and accountable environment. Blockchain technology marks a major breakthrough by removing the need for a centralised trusted authority in a widely distributed network. Instead, a consensus must be reached among several sources of trust, based on an algorithm, that this transaction may be believed to be legitimate. The consensus algorithms in blockchain technology offer an immutable and permanent record of a transaction that is immutable, trustworthy and secured. Consensus algorithms are however energy consuming because of their computation heavy nature. This has been a biggest inhibition towards blockchain adoption. The energy needs for committing a blockchain transaction is also governed by whether it is a public/permissioned blockchain, its consensus algorithm, onchain-offchain data and the code complexity of smart contracts. The paper presents a state-of art evaluation of the current blockchain platforms and cryptos and evaluate them with the energy consumptions. Additionally, it also proposes a framework architecture of a green blockchain application. A green blockchain refers to the implementation of environmentally sustainable algorithms, tools and platforms

General-purpose graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) have emerged as a transformative technology in healthcare and medical fields, harnessing their powerful parallel processing capabilities to handle complex computational challenges. Initially developed for graphics rendering, GPUs are now employed in high-performance tasks such as medical imaging, genomic analysis, drug discovery, and real-time patient monitoring, where vast data volumes and intensive computations are prevalent. GPGPU technology enhances processing efficiency, reduces latency, and supports faster, more accurate diagnostics and treatment planning. Complementing this advancement, Networks-On-Chip (NoC) designs, introduced in the early 2000s, have become a standard communication backbone for high-end CPUs and Systems-on-Chip (SoCs). Their low communication latency, high throughput, and energy efficiency make NoCs ideal for addressing the growing demands of GPU-based systems. However, achieving these performance objectives requires minimizing power dissipation, energy consumption, and costs. This research provides a comprehensive survey of NoC design models for multi-GPU systems, focusing on their role in energy-efficient and scalable architectures. It also highlights the impact of GPGPU in revolutionizing healthcare by meeting modern medical applications' computational and efficiency requirements.

The term “electronic medical records” (EMRs) refers to information that is highly confidential and saved electronically. This information is associated with the diagnosis and treatment of a patient, and it must be routinely distributed among the concerned people such as doctors and nurses. The disclosure of private medical information or its alteration during an operation makes it extremely difficult for participants to exchange their medical files with one another. The most effective strategy for overcoming these obstacles is to implement an electronic medical records system that is based on blockchain technology. Within the scope of this study, we have addressed how the technology of blockchain might contribute to improved healthcare data management. Through the application of blockchain technology, the purpose of this research is to establish a connection between the health ministries and departments and both public and private hospitals in order to simplify the process of gaining access to one's medical records and transferring those records while maintaining patient confidentiality and improving safety.

Missing or incomplete data introduces numerous challenges during data analysis. If there exists any incomplete data then algorithms used for analysis can produce incorrect results. Data with missing or incomplete values may have a negative effect on computation. Thereby leading to an incorrect result. Certain algorithms are incapable of handling missing data properly, while other methods produce an efficient output to calculate the missing values. Because different machine learning algorithms become less effective when given incomplete data, it is extremely important to manage missing data properly. It could be possible that the data set might contain some missing values for various features due to the following reasons data were maintained in the file, data got corrupted, etc. This paper proposed a method that makes use of N neighbors of the data that is missing and makes use of the machine learning model to tune the computed value so as to impute a correct value for the missing data when the missing data is spread across different features. The proposed model makes use of the spatial characteristics of the time series data in order to predict missing data with the least error. Through experimentation, the proposed model demonstrated a high degree of accuracy in predicting missing values, even when the gaps spanned multiple feature columns.

Currently, a cloud-edge collaborative system combines almost unlimited storage and computing resources where tasks can be migrated to high-performance servers in edge servers or the cloud. However, resource allocation and task offloading present big challenges due to the competition among mobile devices (MDs) for communication and computing resources of edge servers. Therefore, it is significant to properly offload MDs' tasks to edge servers or the cloud. This work proposes a collaborative edge-cloud architecture, including a centralized cloud, edge servers, and MDs. Then, this work jointly considers computing power, task sizes, computing resources, transmission power of MDs, transmission rates, computing power, transmission power, computing resource of edge servers, and computing resource of the cloud. Considering the abovementioned factors, this work designs a mixed-integer non-linear programming problem. To solve it, a Genetic Simulated annealing-based Particle Swarm Optimization (GSPSO) algorithm is proposed to obtain the best solution. Building upon it, this work proposes an energy-minimized task offloading and resource allocation strategy, thereby minimizing the system's energy consumption while ensuring strict task response time limits. Experimental results show that GSPSO reduces the system's energy by 66.34%, 34.65%, and 4.95% more than particle swarm optimization (PSO), self-adaptive PSO, and Tyrannosaurus optimization.
