Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are traditionally managed by central authorities, posing significant security risks such as data breaches, limited interoperability, and restricted patient control. This system leverages blockchain technology to address these issues, ensuring data remains immutable, transparent, and highly secure. Utilizing the Ethereum network and IPFS technology, our system provides a decentralized framework for storing and sharing medical records. Healthcare professionals, patients, and authorized parties can seamlessly exchange and access records through Ethereum’s decentralized structure and smart contracts, enabling automated and auditable interactions. To enhance confidentiality, all data uploaded to IPFS undergoes AES 256-bit encryption, with the encrypted Content Identifier (CID) stored on the blockchain. This ensures that intercepted CIDs cannot be accessed without the decryption key. IPFS technology facilitates decentralized storage and retrieval, eliminating the need for a centralized server and improving scalability and resilience. Patients retain full control over their health information, granting or revoking access as necessary. This system ensures secure patient identification, precise access management, and data confidentiality while allowing authorized parties to track and trace record access and modifications. Our blockchain-based EMR management system addresses the inherent risks of traditional centralized systems by providing a secure, transparent, and decentralized solution. By leveraging Ethereum and IPFS, it enhances data security, patient control, and interoperability, thus paving the way for more robust and patient-centric healthcare information management. This approach ensures that healthcare data remains secure, patients maintain control over their information, and authorized parties can effectively manage and access the records.

Physical Full Duplex (FD) operation in WLANs is a promising technology aiming at substituting the traditional Half Duplex (HD) functionality. An increased performance is expected which, theoretically, can be expressed as a double increase in system throughput. However, due to the initial design of the basic access method in WLANs, known as Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), this performance boost is poorly exhibited. Game theory is an invaluable tool to model the performance of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols used in WLANs. In this paper, we exploit game theory to propose a simple enhancement to the DCF access method, in order to increase the benefit received when the FD capability is enabled in ad-hoc WLANs.

This paper explores the resource allocation optimisation of New Radio Physical Uplink Shared Channels with an emphasis on the effective implementation of Phase Tracking Reference Signals and Demodulation Reference Signals in 5G networks. Understanding how important these reference signals are to dependable communication, we created a Python framework to model and display their distribution on a time-frequency grid. By carefully modifying important factors including mapping type, PRB allocation, and symbol allocation, our method greatly increased resource efficiency, decreased overhead, and improved signal quality. The results show how sophisticated resource allocation techniques may be used to maximise system performance, providing important information for the creation of more reliable and effective 5G NR communication systems

Internetworks with a large number of routing devices that utilise the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol, benefit greatly if they are designed in a hierarchical manner. The multi-area feature of OSPF leads to reduced network overhead, low processing and memory requirements and smaller routing tables. This, however, comes at the cost of increased configuration complexity, especially at the Area Border Routers. The threshold after which splitting the OSPF domain into multiple areas, is an ongoing debate among network administrators. A well known rule-of-thumb is recommended by large vendors of networking devices setting that threshold to 50 routing devices. The objective of this preliminary work is to investigate that threshold by conducting a simulation-based study using the OPNET network simulation tool. To assess the network performance, we select the network convergence duration as the quantitative Key Performance Indicator (KPI) of our study. Results indicate that the above mentioned threshold does not appear to be appropriate and a revision of that empirical rule should be considered.
Partial vertex cover and partial dominating set are two well-investigated optimization problems. While they are W[1]-hard on general graphs, they have been shown to be fixed-parameter tractable on many sparse graph cl...

This paper compares three of the popular deep learning models being VGG-16, VGG-19 and ResNet50 with respect to how they perform in the classification task. We investigate how much each model learns, the reduction of errors and inferences from data over epochs, through an in-dept. analysis of training and testing phases. The authors concluded that all the models perform efficiently; however, from the study results of performance and accuracy, VGG-19 and ResNet50 have a high-performance scale as well as super accuracy in their deep learning model which encourages business for application towards complex pattern recognition or predictive modelling. These results provide important intuitions on what deep learning architectures can do, and pave the path for further works in this area, b
