Elderly people are the assets of the country and the government can ensure their peaceful and healthier life. Life expectancy of individuals has expanded with technological advancements and survey tells that the elderly population will become double in the year 2030. The noninfectious cognitive dysfunction is the most important risk factor among elderly people due to a decline in their physiological function. Alzheimer, Vascular Dementia, and Dementia are the key reasons for cognitive inabilities. These diseases require manual assistance, which is difficult to provide in this fast-growing world. Prevention and early detection are the wise solution for the above diseases. Diabetes and hypertension are considered as main risk factors allied with Alzheimer's disease. Our proposed work applies a two-stage classification technique to improve prediction accuracy. In the first stage, we train a Support vector machine and a Random Forest algorithm to analyze the influence of diabetes and high blood pressure on cognitive decline. In the second stage, the cognitive function of the person with the possibility of Dementia is assessed using the neuropsychological test called Cognitive Ability Test (CAT). Multinomial Logistic Regression algorithm is applied to CAT results to predict the possibility of cognitive decline in their postlife. We classified the risk factor using the operational definitions: “No Alzheimer’s,” “Uncertain Alzheimer’s,” and “Definite Alzheimer’s”. SVM of stage 1 classifier predicts with an accuracy of 0.86 and Random Forest with an accuracy of 0.71. Multinomial Logistic algorithm of stage 2 classifier accuracy is 0.89. The proposed work enables early prediction of a person at risk of Alzheimer's Disease using clinical data.
Cancer is a complicated worldwide health issue with an increasing death rate in recent years. With the swift blooming of the high throughput technology and several machine learning methods that have unfolded in recent years, progress in cancer disease diagnosis has been made based on subset features, providing awareness of the efficient and precise disease diagnosis. Hence, progressive machine learning techniques that can, fortunately, differentiate lung cancer patients from healthy persons are of great concern. This paper proposes a novel Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Gain Preprocessing combined with Generative Deep Learning called Wilcoxon Signed Generative Deep Learning (WS-GDL) method for lung cancer disease diagnosis. Firstly, test significance analysis and information gain eliminate redundant and irrelevant attributes and extract many informative and significant attributes. Then, using a generator function, the Generative Deep Learning method is used to learn the deep features. Finally, a minimax game (i.e., minimizing error with maximum accuracy) is proposed to diagnose the disease. Numerical experiments on the Thoracic Surgery Data Set are used to test the WS-GDL method's disease diagnosis performance. The WS-GDL approach may create relevant and significant attributes and adaptively diagnose the disease by selecting optimal learning model parameters. Quantitative experimental results show that the WS-GDL method achieves better diagnosis performance and higher computing efficiency in computational time, computational complexity, and false-positive rate compared to state-of-the-art approaches.
The Internet of Things grew rapidly, and many services, applications, sensor-embedded electronic devices, and related protocols were created and are still being developed. The Internet of Things (IoT) allows physically existing things to see, hear, think, and perform a significant task by allowing them to interact with one another and exchange valuable knowledge when making decisions and caring out their vital tasks. The fifth-generation (5G) communications require that the Internet of Things (IoT) is aided greatly by wireless sensor networks, which serve as a permanent layer for it. A wireless sensor network comprises a collection of sensor nodes to monitor and transmit data to the destination known as the sink. The sink (or base station) is the endpoint of data transmission in every round. The major concerns of IoT-based WSNs are improving the network lifetime and energy efficiency. In the proposed system, Optimal Cluster-Based Routing (Optimal-CBR), the energy efficiency, and network lifetime are improved using a hierarchical routing approach for applications on the IoT in the 5G environment and beyond. The Optimal-CBR protocol uses the k-means algorithm for clustering the nodes and the multihop approach for chain routing. The clustering phase is invoked until two-thirds of the nodes are dead and then the chaining phase is invoked for the rest of the data transmission. The nodes are clustered using the basic k-means algorithm during the cluster phase and the highest energy of the node nearest to the centroid is selected as the cluster head (CH). The CH collects the packets from its members and forwards them to the base station (BS). During the chaining phase, since two-thirds of the nodes are dead and the residual energy is insufficient for clustering, the remaining nodes perform multihop routing to create chaining until the data are transmitted to the BS. This enriches the energy efficiency and the network lifespan, as found in both the theoretical and simulation analyses.
With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), smart devices have now changed their dimensions to provide applications in different domains such as medical, agriculture, and Industry 4.0. Although IoT provides more diversified applications, enhancing the security in IoT remains on the darker side of the research. Traditional IoT systems involve a third party to secure sensitive data during transmission in an IoT environment which can lead to complex and serious problems. To overcome security issues and eradicate third-party involvement, Blockchain technology is the modern-day solution in an IoT environment. In the context of a Secured IoT system, we proposed a novel chaotic encryption-based blockchain-IoT architecture to clinch the security and privacy of data. Since smart sensors and image sensors are used widely in an IoT environment, the proposed scheme was tested with different image sets to evaluate performance metrics such as Number of Pixel Change Rate (NPCR), Unified Averaged Changed Intensity (UACI), Correlation Coefficients, and entropy under different attack scenarios. We obtained an NPCR of 99.65%, a UACI of 34%, and an entropy value close to 8. These values incite that the novel chaotic encryption-based blockchain-IoT architecture will be safe from IoT attacks. Results showed that integrating chaotic encrypted blockchain architecture with IoT could be more effective in defending attacks.
