This article presents an industrial and innovation highly efficient drone shaped slotted graphene-based multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna with improved isolation, designed for high-speed short-range communication, video rate imaging, medical imaging, and explosive detection in the THz band. The proposed antenna is constructed on an 88×244 μm2 polyimide substrate. Key performance parameters such as reflection coefficient, gain, directivity, radiation pattern, and antenna efficiency are evaluated at the resonating frequencies of 1.7 THz, 3.35 THz, and 5.31 THz, covering a wide bandwidth of 4.88 THz with a reflection coefficient of less than -10 dB. The antenna achieves a maximum gain of 13.92 dB and a radiation efficiency of 95.77% within the resonating band. The MIMO design parameters include an envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of 0.00015, a diversity gain (DG) of 9.9992, and an isolation of less than -31.55 dB between its elements across the entire bandwidth. The outcomes from CST simulations were verified by designing and simulating a similar resistance-inductance-capacitance (RLC) circuit in advanced design system (ADS), with both simulators producing comparable reflection coefficients. These features underscore the potential of the proposed antenna, utilizing simulations and an equivalent RLC circuit model, as a robust candidate for THz band applications in 6G wireless communication.

Energy scavenging-aided nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks significantly ameliorate energy-and-spectral efficiencies thanks to superimposing a multitude of user signals for concurrent transmission and harvesting radio frequency energy. Practically, energy harvesters possess non-linear characteristic and their efficiency is enhanced considerably with deployment of multiple antennas. Moreover, communication reliability and harvested energy are directly influenced by wireless propagation which induces simultaneous effects of shadowing, path loss, and fading. Accordingly, the current paper assesses analytically outage probability and throughput of energy scavenging (ES)-aided NOMA uplink communications (eNOMAu) taking into account the above-addressed realistic factors (κ − µ shadowed fading, multi-antenna deployment, ES nonlinearity). The results reveal considerable performance degradation caused by ES non-linearity and wireless propagation. Additionally, desired system performance can be reached flexibly with appropriate specification selection. In addition, accreting a quantity of antennas drastically mitigates the outage probability of eNOMAu, which can be minimized with optimal ES time selection. Furthermore, the proposed eNOMAu is considerably superior to its eOMAu counterpart.

This study introduces a modified electro-optical modulator (EOM) to enhance bipolar optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) in free-space optical (FSO) communication. The proposed system improves signal quality, spectral efficiency, and resilience to atmospheric turbulence. Unlike conventional dual EOM techniques, the modified EOM enables simultaneous transmission of ‘0’ and ‘1’ chip values, reducing multiple access interference (MAI) and enhancing system robustness. This approach optimizes bandwidth utilization and ensures stable performance in varying environmental conditions. Simulations were conducted in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel using three spectral amplitude coding (SAC) schemes: modified M sequence, Walsh-Hadamard, and random diagonal (RD) codes. Results indicate that the modified EOM scheme significantly improves FSO system performance, achieving an average 47.1% lower minimum log of bit error rate (BER) in normal weather and 43.3% lower in extreme weather, ensuring superior noise suppression and signal integrity across varying environmental conditions. Additionally, the system maintains superior performance over longer distances, demonstrating its suitability for high-speed, long-range FSO applications. These findings highlight the potential of the modified EOM based bipolar OCDMA system in advancing next-generation optical wireless networks, offering a more efficient, interference-resistant, and high-capacity communication solution for future technologies such as 6G and beyond.

The quality of the website is quite important in generating customer satisfaction and loyalty. A website’s quality depends on several factors, features, and characteristics. Several computational methods are necessary to evaluate the quality of each factor and subsequently determine the overall quality of the entire website. Each factor does not contribute to the same level of quality required by the end users and thus requires a weighting system. Expert systems, which are either manually defined or learnt using artificial intelligence (AI), are to be modelled for assessing the quality of a factor/sub-factor or characteristics of a sub-factor. The quality of a website varies depending on the context. Context-based quality assessment of the websites is required. There is a need to generate example sets to assess the quality of websites and to establish relationships between web-related quality factors, subfactors, and characteristics. In this paper, a comprehensive framework is presented that caters to parametric structure building and mapping, parsers for computing characteristic values, context assessment, building expert systems, and learning models for assessing the quality of websites and weighing the factors that have specific significance on the quality of the website.

5G/6G technologies require higher-performance antennas in terms of bandwidth, gain, radiation, compact size, efficiency, and low cost. At the same time, fewer natural disturbances, such as rain and snow, and fewer non-natural disturbances. This is the challenge facing scientific research into antenna design and manufacture. In addition, in this paper we study and design a flexible circular microstrip patch antenna operating in the 60 GHz band for 5G/6G applications. This antenna is based on a biosourced substrate for industrial, scientific, and medical applications. For this study, we will use two techniques: one concerns the deformation of the ground plane deformation of the ground plane and substrate to improve the electrical performance of a proposed antenna. At the same time, the other is the parametric study of the appropriate position of a coaxial feed probe. This technique has the advantage of requiring no radiation contrition on the part of the coaxial probe. Next, specialized high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) simulation software is used to design this antenna; it has a wide bandwidth above 3 GHz, a gain of 7.41 dB, a directivity of 7.53 dB, a radiated power of 13.55 dBm, an accepted power of 13.67 dBm, an incident power of 15.08 dBm, a radiation efficiency of 97.29 % and an efficiency of 98.4 %.

As the demand for efficient and cost-effective greenhouse microclimate surveillance has increased, we developed a microclimate surveillance system using microcontroller technology that automatically collects temperature and relative humidity data and transmits it to a cloud server for remote surveillance and data analysis. 1971 microclimate data points were acquired over a 20-day evaluation period, providing insights into greenhouse environmental conditions with a negative linear regression between air temperature and relative humidity within the greenhouse and an R-squared of 0.73. This illustrates the system’s ability to record and quantify environmental conditions data. Additionally, we derived a predictive model to manage microclimate conditions using the regression formula y = -6.12X + 238.33, where X represents the air temperature and y represents the relative humidity. All the results show that the acquired data can be used to make decisions to optimize plant growth. The prototype we developed can be an alternative option for small and medium-sized farms that need a greenhouse surveillance system to improve operational efficiency and reduce surveillance costs. The system can be further developed by implementing additional sensors to monitor light intensity, wind speed, or soil moisture and further data analysis models to optimize greenhouse management.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have gained high popularity in the realm of technological innovation and have a prime responsibility of transferring the data safely to the sink despite the vulnerable situation presiding around the network. There needs to be a compromise made between energy consumption and the intricate network security system because they are inversely correlated. To create a safe and effective data transfer between the communicating nodes, a new censored regressive jaccard indexed certificateless signcryption (CEJICS) technique is suggested. Initially, the Gaussian likelihood censored regression is applied to identify the energy efficient node which supports enhancing the network lifetime. The security is implemented using the rabin cryptographic jaccard indexive certificateless signcryption (RCJICS). To create a signcryption system with the characteristics of digital signature and ciphertext authenticity, the proposed work focuses on certificateless cryptography. The NS-2 simulator is used for the simulation, and performance metrics are used to evaluate it. According to the observed quantitative results, the suggested CEJICS method outperforms the other conventional methods by improving the packet delivery ratio (PDR) by 93%, achieving a minimum drop of 7%, reducing delay by 22%, reducing overhead to 17%, minimizing energy consumption by 15%, and ultimately extending the network lifetime by 10%.

The current need to conserve natural resources and find new ways to advance without damaging the environment has led to the search for different energy sources. In this sense, the availability of radio frequency (RF) energy is found as a favorable option for new energy sources. This work describes the design of a microstrip antenna for the collection of radiofrequency energy in the megahertz band. Using the automatic optimization software computer simulation technology (CST) Studio, a circular spiral antenna is simulated using the low-cost FR4 substrate with a thickness of 1.57 mm and copper as the conductive material with a thickness of 0.035 mm. The proposed design presents resonance frequencies in multiple bands from 550 MHz to 1900 MHz, with bandwidths between 15 MHz and 150 MHz. The antenna design is based on the resonant cavity model and presents circular polarization due to its design coil type, with modified geometry using symmetrical orthogonal slots to generate multiple working bands. The design of this antenna can capture the power emitted by the frequency bands used in mobile telephony, radio communications, broadcasting, and television.

As an emerging technology, blockchain has huge potential for transforming various industries, such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Despite its promising impact, its application in the supply chains of SMEs in developing countries is still in its infancy. This study analyzes the key factors of blockchain adoption intention in Philippine SMEs through an integrated technology-organization-environment (TOE) and technology acceptance model (TAM) with external variables. The data were obtained through a survey of 465 SME practitioners in the national capital region (NCR), Philippines, and analyzed using partial least squares and structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). In terms of technology dimensions, relative advantage (RLA) had a positive influence on perceived usefulness (PUS) while compatibility (COM) had a positive influence on perceived ease of use (PEU), which both subsequently led to blockchain adoption intention. As regards organization, top management support (TMS) had a significant influence on the adoption intention of blockchain among SMEs. In terms of environment, only competitive pressure (CMP) had significant influence on blockchain adoption intention. In general, most of the hypothesized relationships are significant; thus, SMEs have a positive interest in adopting blockchain technology. Finally, the study serves as baseline evidence of blockchain adoption intention among SMEs in the Philippines.

Hani Q.; Mutah University R. Al-Zoubi
This study investigates deep learning based single image super-resolution (SISR) and highlights its revolutionary potential. It emphasizes the significance of SISR, and the transition from interpolation to deep learning driven reconstruction techniques. Generative adversarial network (GAN)- based models, including super-resolution generative adversarial network (SRGAN), video super-resolution network (VSRResNet), and residual channel attention-generative adversarial network (RCA-GAN) are utilised. The proposed technique describes the loss functions of the SISR models. However, it should be noted that the conventional methods frequently fail to recover lost high-frequency details, which signify their limitations. The current visual inspections indicate that the suggested model can perform better than the others in terms of quantitative metrics and perceptual quality. The quantitative results indicate that the utilised model can achieve an average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) enhancement of X dB and an average structural similarity index (SSIM) increase of Y. A range of improvements of 7.12-23.21% and 2.75-10.00% are obtained for PSNR and SSIM, respectively. Also, the architecture deploys a total of 2,005,571 parameters, with 2,001,475 of these being trainable. These results highlight the model’s efficacy in maintaining key structures and generating visually appealing outputs, supporting its potential implications in fields demanding high-resolution imagery, such as medical imaging and satellite imagery.
