Quantum key distribution protocols printed a prominent mark in the old path of digital communication by making it even more secure. Unlike its classical counterpart, quantum key distribution protocols exploit the key principles of quantum elements, such as superposition and entanglement, to expose the intrusion in an efficient way. This paper presents a prepare and measure quantum key distribution protocol that detects the eavesdropper more efficiently by inflating bit mismatch between the sender and receiver. The proposed work achieves bit mismatch up to 62.5 percent while Eve is present in the quantum communication channel. The improvement is remarkable in comparison with the classical BB84 protocol, which has a bit mismatch up to 37.5 percent in presence of Eve.

Falls can have significant and far-reaching effects on various groups, particularly the elderly, workers, and the general population. These effects can impact both physical and psychological well-being, leading to long-term health problems, reduced productivity, and a decreased quality of life. Numerous fall detection systems have been developed to prompt first aid in the event of a fall and reduce its impact on people's lives. However, detecting a fall after it has occurred is insufficient to mitigate its consequences, such as trauma. These effects can be further minimized by activating safety systems (e.g., wearable airbags) during the fall itself—specifically in the pre-impact phase—to reduce the severity of the impact when hitting the ground. Achieving this, however, requires recognizing the fall early enough to provide the necessary time for the safety system to become fully operational before impact. To address this challenge, this paper introduces a novel lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) designed to detect pre-impact falls. The proposed model overcomes the limitations of current solutions regarding deployability on resource-constrained embedded devices, specifically for controlling the inflation of an airbag jacket. We extensively tested and compared our model, deployed on an STM32F722 microcontroller, against state-of-the-art approaches using two different datasets.

Metastatic cancer, defined by the spread of cancer cells from their original site to distant body regions, presents considerable diagnostic hurdles. Precise identification in histopathological images is essential for optimal patient care. This research introduces an innovative hybrid framework integrating ResNet50, self-attention modules, and Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) to enhance binary classification precision in metastatic cancer detection. In opposite to CNN-GRU, CNN-LSTM, and AlexNet-GRU models, our approach showcased remarkable performance across two datasets. For the Histopathologic Cancer Detection BreakHis dataset, the model achieved 96.00% accuracy, 95.32% precision, 96.15% sensitivity, and 95.32% specificity. On the BACH dataset, it attained 98.00% accuracy, 98.44% precision, 98.44% sensitivity, and 98.44% specificity. In multi-class classification tasks, the model achieved an impeccable score of 1.00 on both the BreakHis and BACH datasets. Those outcomes highlight the model's capacity to significantly decrease diagnostic errors and improve pathologists' diagnostic accuracy surpassing other approaches in the field.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent joint disorder diagnosed using imaging modalities like MRI, CT scans, and X-rays, with X-rays being the most cost-effective. Early detection is crucial for effective management. This study presents an automated deep learning approach to detect and classify KOA severity based on the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading system using single posteroanterior standing knee X-ray images. Utilizing the Osteoarthritis Initiative dataset, we employed transfer learning to fine-tune DenseNet-201, enhancing model performance. Additionally, knowledge distillation was applied to reduce computational complexity while maintaining accuracy. Our model achieved over 95% accuracy on both testing and cross-validation datasets, outperforming existing methods. This approach offers a reliable tool for early KOA diagnosis and grading, potentially aiding clinical decision-making

Buildings are significant contributors to global energy consumption. Maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing energy consumption are conflicting objectives. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is a promising area of research for building Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system optimization. In this study an open-source framework Building Optimization Testing Framework (BOPTEST), which is a virtual testbed that help comparison different control strategies for evaluation of DRL control methods is used. A Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is used to benchmark the DRL methods. A single zone residential building of 192 m 2 with a radial heating system and a heat pump in a climate zone with high heating requirement with dynamic electricity prices with prices varying every 15 min based on demand is chosen for implementing different control strategies. On comparing Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Twin Delay DDPG (TD3) based DRL controllers and the baseline controller, the DDPG based controller reduced energy consumption by 97.3 % and operating cost by 17.7 % during the peak heating period with reference to baseline method. Then on analyzing the impact of inclusion of forecast parameters occupancy, solar irradiance, and electricity prices over the period 3, 6 and 12 hours in DDPG based controller. The prediction for 3 hours gave the greatest reduction in thermal discomfort of 99.7 % and prediction for 12 hours gave maximum reduction in cost by 30.4 % but resulted in only 82% reduction in thermal comfort when compared with baseline method indicating that longer prediction horizon is not necessarily results in better performance.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) stands as the second most prevalent cause of cancer deaths, and its incidence is rising over time. Identifying key genes is essential for diagnosing and developing effective therapeutic strategies for cancer. Several studies were conducted to determine the candidate genes of CRC but this is still not sufficient and further research is needed in this area. Thus, we aimed to identify the key candidate genes of CRC using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, applying the Kruskal-Wallis test and Bonferroni correction machine learning techniques. We successfully identified 9 candidate genes, including CALB2, GRP, KRAS, MLH1, NPR3, PPFIA4, SOX11, STAC2, and TRPA1, from 20518 genes of CRC using our model. In addition, we used bioinformatics frameworks to identify signaling pathways, gene ontological pathways, and PPI networks that reflect the functions of these candidate genes. We found 9 significant signaling pathways, 12 ontological pathways, and 3 hub genes for CRC. The diagnostic effectiveness of the candidate genes was evaluated through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and all candidate genes showed good performance according to area under the curve (AUC) values. Notably, the gene MLH1 demonstrated the highest AUC of .91. In fine, the findings of this study may play a role in disease management and offer a foundation for further laboratory investigations to uncover potential therapeutic targets for CRC treatment.
