Brain age is a critical measure that reflects the biological ageing process of the brain. The gap between brain age and chronological age, referred to as brain PAD (Predicted Age Difference), has been utilized to investigate neurodegenerative conditions. Brain age can be predicted using MRIs and machine learning techniques. However, existing methods are often sensitive to acquisition-related variabilities, such as differences in acquisition protocols, scanners, MRI sequences, and resolutions, significantly limiting their application in highly heterogeneous clinical settings. In this study, we introduce Synthetic Brain Age (SynthBA), a robust deep-learning model designed for predicting brain age. SynthBA utilizes an advanced domain randomization technique, ensuring effective operation across a wide array of acquisition-related variabilities. To assess the effectiveness and robustness of SynthBA, we evaluate its predictive capabilities on internal and external datasets, encompassing various MRI sequences and resolutions, and compare it with state-of-the-art techniques. Additionally, we calculate the brain PAD in a large cohort of subjects with Alzheimer's Disease (AD), demonstrating a significant correlation with AD-related measures of cognitive dysfunction. SynthBA holds the potential to facilitate the broader adoption of brain age prediction in clinical settings, where re-training or fine-tuning is often unfeasible.

Delivery Tracker" is a comprehensive delivery management system designed to streamline package delivery services within an educational institution. The primary goal of this initiative is to simplify the process for students by allowing them to effortlessly create, monitor, and confirm the delivery of their packages. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Express, Next. js, React, MongoDB, Paytm UPI, and Socket. io, this system promises efficiency and convenience. With "Delivery Tracker," senders can initiate the delivery process by furnishing recipient details, specifying package attributes, and supplying essential information. Each package is allocated a unique identifier, and the system promptly notifies a nearby student who is available to collect and deliver the package to the intended recipient’s address. Real-time tracking capabilities ensure that deliveries are not only prompt but also secure. Upon successful delivery, recipients can confirm the receipt of their package through the system. Furthermore, the system boasts an integrated payment gateway, streamlining the transaction process. "Delivery Tracker" represents a significant leap forward in enhancing the package delivery experience within educational institutions, prioritizing simplicity, efficiency, and transparency.

Virtual reality, augmented reality, and immersive technologies have advanced rapidly, giving rise to the concept of the metaverse. As users delve into these virtual environments, it becomes crucial to understand the decision-making processes of intelligent systems within the metaverse. Explainable AI (XAI) provides a framework for interpreting and understanding the outcomes of artificial intelligence, making it an essential component for ensuring transparency, trust, and user engagement within the metaverse. This paper aims to explore the fusion of XAI in the context of the metaverse, including key enabling technologies, the impact of XAI on metaverse applications, integration challenges, and future directions.

The recent development of Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV) use in industry has resulted in the need to model new solutions based on the latest technological achievements. One of the areas worth attention and development is Quality of Service (QoS) in relation to communication between vehicles. QoS makes it possible to divide the bandwidth in such a way that tasks performed by devices are completed with a certain priority. However, in order to manage these resources effectively, it is necessary to anticipate available network throughput. Therefore, this paper presents a neural-based model to ensure throughput prediction for AGV. The proposed solution assumes the use of information on both historical throughput values and data obtained from other sensors that AGV are equipped with. Therefore, the idea is to integrate two neural networks with another network, which is supposed to predict the result based on these two previously obtained predictions. Ultimately, prediction results with a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.1 for the downlink and 1.6 for the uplink were obtained.

Autonomous vehicles are a key element of the automotive industry, where the impact of the human factor on the condition of the vehicle and driving is minimized. An important element is the analysis of vehicular condition, which allows maintainence of its value and correct operation. We propose a system based on the analysis of the image of vehicles, which determines whether there is any damage. For this purpose, we propose a new model of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that has 0. 395M trained values. The architecture of the network is adapted to the analysis of spatial features that allow networks to be adapted to analyze primarily vehicular shape and orientation in relation to other objects. The model also implements spatial dropout and regularization techniques for preventing overtraining and maintaining model generalization. The modeled architecture contributes to obtaining high classification accuracy at 94.78% using a public database and exceeding metrics of known transfer learning models.

The metaverse is a virtual space that blends elements of augmented reality, virtual reality, and many other technologies, offering a tailored and immersive experience where individuals can communicate with each other and digital objects. Though the metaverse incorporates various advanced technologies, there is still room for enhancement in terms of interactivity and in achieving realism of virtual environments. Generative Pre-trained Transformers can help address these issues. GPTs advanced NLP algorithms that generate dynamic and realistic content in real-time, allowing the creation of interactive non-playable characters, improving NLP for chatbots and voice assistants, and generating realistic virtual environments in the metaverse. The integration of GPT and metaverse is essential to make it a more dynamic, realistic, and engaging workspace. This review paper explores the opportunity of integrating GPTs with the metaverse applications and highlights prospective challenges associated with this integration.

The main issue in clustering algorithms is how to efficiently define number of clusters automatically. Considering both the quality of clustering and efficiency of clustering algorithm during determination of number of clusters can be a trade off that was our main purpose to overcome with. Successfully, In our approach the best number of clusters for a large data set of high dimensional data automatically would be determined with respect to clustering quality and efficiency. We carried out experimental studies on our five previous data sets [43]. and 4 new larger ones by which we found that our procedure has the flexibility of choosing different criteria to determine the optimal K under each of them. The procedure takes the advantages of Bisecting K-Means algorithm, and indicated higher efficiency compared with Ray & Turi method when it comes to find the best number of clusters.
