This can be one of the most magnificent advantages realized from applying blockchain technology in a forensic investigation context, namely, a transformative approach to address challenges embedded within legal and criminal justice systems. For example, smart contracts, being self-executing agreements with the automated inclusion of predefined rules, may even automate and secure the process of tracking evidence, managing chain of custody, and access control. This smart contract will ensure that forensic operations are transparent and of sound integrity. Every transaction and action performed on the blockchain is recorded there, instantaneously bringing down tampering to the lowest possibility and any chance for human mistakes. Regarding decentralized nature and cryptography-based security combined with immutability, blockchain is a technology known to have safeguards over sensitive data. Once recorded on the blockchain, the information thereupon becomes completely un-changeable, assuring the reliability and authenticity of evidence. This will be especially important in the management of an unforgeable chain of custody and in ensuring that forensic evidence remains unchanged and can be relied on with integrity throughout the court process.[6] Critical data can then be maintained tamper-proof for management and storage by developing Ethereum-based smart contracts on Remix IDE using Solidity.[15]Each transaction will be time-stamped and safely logged on the Ethereum blockchain, thus developing an unchallenged ledger that makes any investigation that much more trustworthy. In a nutshell, the application of blockchain in forensic activities builds greater control and efficiencies, reduces possible errors and conflicts, and provides transparency, integrity, and an unchangeable, permanent record for forensic processes. The invention thereby significantly upgrades the general integrity and confidence in legal and criminal justice inquiries.

In this paper, the authors conduct an experimental work on neural networks Text-to-Speech (TTS), aiming to facilitate an appropriate understanding of current research and future tendencies in the field. Four cascading systems to generate an English Speech Synthesis model are used and compared. We focus on the key components in neural TTS, including text processing, acoustic-phonetics models, and speech generators - vocoders. This study is useful for industry practitioners and academic researchers interested in TTS. The experimental setup considers the following TTS models: Tacotron2 and Fastspeech2 acoustic models, both of which are used with MelGAN and Multiband MelGAN vocoders. The parameters' models are trained and tuned on the English LJSpeech dataset. Performance metrics used are WER objective and MOS subjective metrics. The mean opinion score (MOS) as subjective metrics is based on naturalness and intelligibility measures. The Results show that, in our case, the best performance is achieved using Fastspeech2 combining with Multi Band-Melgan model achieved/Comprehensibility of 4.25 and Naturalness of 4 which is close to performance of commercial systems.

Tomato is one of the most popular crops worldwide. The success of a tomato crop is highly dependent on the health of the plants. Nutrient deficiency surveillance is typically conducted through visual inspections, which can be challenging for inexperienced farmers and home gardeners to work accurately. There is a growing need for a quick, reliable, and accurate nutrient deficiency identification system to address this issue. The proposed method is based on image processing and deep learning technologies that are highly effective for image classification tasks. Two models were trained using a dataset collected from tomato plants in Sri Lanka and evaluated using Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Mask R-CNN) and, You Only Look Once (YOLO) for deficiency classification, and results obtained 92% and 98% accuracy, respectively. Deficiency dispersion level expressed as a percentage using Mask R-CNN and followed by image processing techniques. Overall, this proposed system offers a convenient and accessible tool for farmers and home gardeners to monitor and maintain the health of their tomato plants, enabling them to achieve optimal yields and ensure profitable returns.

In the field of health care, the use of data for medical insurance is a current area of research. In this report, regression models created using machine learning methods and algorithms for health insurance prediction are the object of investigation. A correlation analysis was performed on the input data, and a strong dependence was found for the features BMI and smoker. A comparative analysis was made for twenty-four models constructed using Decision Trees (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Boosted, and Bagged algorithms. To evaluate the model metrics were used the coefficient of determination (R-Squared), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Time for training. From the obtained experimental results, it is found that the model for the BMI feature with the Bagged algorithm has an accuracy of 0.94. The mean squared error for features Smoker and Blood Pressure of models created with the Bagged algorithm is 0.06. Models built with the Support Vector Method (SVM) require more training time than the others do. Algorithms from machine learning and statistical analysis are used to create regression models that can be useful both for health care providers and to improve the services provided.

Nanopore sequencing enables reading strings of A,C,G,T nucleotides in DNA strands by pulling them into nanopores with the help of motor proteins. Due to the discrete stepping of motor proteins, the signals produced by a DNA sequence tend to be piecewise-constant expansions of some underlying real-valued sequence. In this paper, we assume that every k-nucleotide sequence corresponds to a real-valued codeword of length $k$ , and model the nanopore channel as a noisy duplication channel that stretches every sample of a codeword using a geometric distribution, and then adds Gaussian noise. We show that for this channel, a simpler variant of the dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm performs maximum likelihood decoding. Next, we devise an $O(k^{2})$ - algorithm for bounding the pairwise error probability between two codewords of length $k$ . Finally, we use Scrappie to design codebooks with a storage efficiency of 1 bit per nucleotide and demonstrate using error simulations the accuracy of the calculated error bounds.

As the number of multimedia IPs in mobile devices increases, a high memory bandwidth becomes essential. To meet this demand, Application Processors (APs) employ multiple memory channels. However, employing fine-grained channel interleaving leads to frequent bank conflicts in DRAM, resulting in increased energy consumption and reduced battery life. This paper proposes a novel Virtual to Physical address mapping (VA-to-PA) scheme, called Correlation-based Page Remapping (CPR). This technique involves remapping pages based on the access correlations between them to enhance bank parallelism. By increasing the channel interleaving size to 1KB and applying CPR, we can reduce the DRAM energy consumption of activation (ACT) and precharge (PRE) operations by 15% without any decrease in DRAM performance.
