This paper proposes a design of a programmable circuit based on the combination of crossbar arrays using the VTM-NAND/AND logic gates. The novelty of this work is the utilization pipeline technique for the proposed arrangements. The important feature of this method is multiple instructions overlap during execution where designed cells will never be idle, that causes an increase in the number of instructions executed simultaneously and speed of calculations. All of the digital gates and proposed circuits are evaluated using an advanced memristor model with a modified Biolek window and a voltage-dependent variable exponent.

Audio steganography is a tool for concealing data (a secret message) inside an audio signal (a carrier). It is regarded as an essential approach for information security. This paper presents a proposed technique for audio signal steganography, which is implemented in the wavelet domain, with a pre-processing enhancement step. First, adaptive Wiener filtering is implemented to reduce the noise on audio signals. Then, the Inverse Short-Time Fourier Transform (ISTFT) is applied to convert the target image from the spectrogram-like nature to the 1-D signal-like nature. The embedding process is performed on high-frequency coefficients in the wavelet domain to keep the audio signals unchanged for human perception. The reverse process is implemented at the receiver. Hence, the embedded coefficients are extracted to recover the embedded image through Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT). The recovered audio signal is also obtained after the removal of embedded coefficients. The major goal is to enhance the performance of the audio steganography technique, while retaining the audio signal quality. The outcomes show that the suggested technique successfully allows audio steganography and enhances the resultant audio signal quality at different Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) levels.

The early detection of colorectal polyps is crucial for the reduction of mortality rates. However, manually identifying polyps is time-consuming and expensive, increasing the risk of missing them. Our paper aims to address this issue by presenting an automated segmentation approach for colorectal polyps. This paper proposes a method that combines a skip connection with hybrid attention guidance (AG) using attention guidance (AG) and residual path frameworks to identify salient features. Furthermore, we augment test samples using original, horizontal flip, and vertical flip transformations to enhance model robustness through Test Time Augmentation (TTA). The model was trained with Kvasir-seg samples and evaluated on Kvasir-seg and CVC-ClinicDB datasets to gauge generalizability. A significant accuracy (0.9546), a Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 0.8557, a Cross-section over Union (IoU) of 0.8824, a Recall (0.8221), a Precision (0.8922), an area under Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC-AUC) of 0.9454, and an area under Precision-Recall (AUC-PR) of 0.8717 were achieved without TTA. Through TTA integration, accuracy (0.9993), DSC (0.8663), IoU (0.8277), Recall (0.8060), Precision (0.9364), and ROC-AUC (0.9587) have been improved. A comparison of our framework with state-of-the-art models demonstrated its effectiveness and segmentation capabilities. Additionally, the proposed model contains only 0.47 million parameters and a weight size of 6.71 MB, illustrating its potential for clinical diagnostics. A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system improves patient outcomes by detecting colorectal polyps early and improving segmentation accuracy.

Weather stations provide data used in planning and forecasts such as water management, precision agriculture, and flood prediction. According to the World Meteorological Organization, Africa has about one-eighth of the required number of weather stations. This is attributed to the high set-up costs, lack of skilled staff, and the fragile nature of instruments in conventional weather stations. Also, conventional weather stations have moving parts that make them prone to damage and cause both measurement and reading errors. This makes it difficult to get accurate real-time weather data measurements with good location specificity, resulting in inaccurate estimates. Recent research on using acoustic data for rainfall estimation through machine learning has been on classifying rainfall amounts into intensity bands rather than specifying the exact rainfall intensities. This research employs a CNN regression model to estimate rainfall intensities from MFCCs extracted from audio recordings collected in Nigeria. The study results show that the MAPE and MSE of the trained CNN model were 35.20% and 0.66 respectively. The experiment demonstrates that this CNN architecture performs better than a baseline Support Vector Regression (SVR) model with 152.55% MAPE and 1.73 MSE. The model was further pruned, reducing its size from 863kB to 300kb, making it suitable for deployment on low-cost microcontrollers with low memory. This makes it possible for large-scale deployments in low-resource settings, such as Africa.
