The internal structure and mechanics of the fibre materials, such as yarn or woven textile, are highly complex. Exploring the fibre structure is an essential step in material engineering either from the experimental or computational point of view. In this study, a new method to extract geometrical and morphological parameters of fibre structures is proposed. The method benefits from standard image analysis and machine learning technique to efficiently extract fibre segments from microcomputer tomography data. The proposed algorithm is tested on the yarn and woven textile materials with different resolution and quality. The developed method can extract the individual fibres with varying accuracy from 73-100% with processing time 2-5s on the tested samples.

The cold chain is crucial to ensure the quality and effectiveness of transported and stored medicines. For this, it is necessary to carry out the thermal mapping of routes for drugs transported between 15°C and 30°C, so that the most assertive decision can be taken without raising costs. This study aims to identify the main factors influencing the thermal mapping of pharmaceutical products in the cold chain and applying the machine learning technique. The method used for this systematic review is the Prisma, where the identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages were analyzed. After analyzing 75 articles, the result shows that only eight papers were consistent with the use of modeling in the medicine cold chain distribution. Thus, it can be concluded that there is an extensive field to be researched regarding the use of prediction algorithms in the cold chain of drugs and vaccines.

Nowadays, computer virus attacks are getting very advanced. New obfuscated computer virus created by computer virus writers will generate a new shape of computer virus automatically for every single iteration and download. This constantly evolving computer virus has caused significant threat to information security of computer users, organizations and even government. However, signature based detection technique which is used by the conventional anti-computer virus software in the market fails to identify it as signatures are unavailable. This research proposed an alternative approach to the traditional signature based detection method and investigated the use of machine learning technique for obfuscated computer virus detection. In this work, text strings are used and have been extracted from virus program codes as the features to generate a suitable classifier model that can correctly classify obfuscated virus files. Text string feature is used as it is informative and potentially only use small amount of memory space. Results show that unknown files can be correctly classified with 99.5% accuracy using SMO classifier model. Thus, it is believed that current computer virus defense can be strengthening through machine learning approach.

<div style="’text-align: justify;">Mining in data is an important step for knowledge discovery, which leads to extract new patterns from datasets. It is a widespread methodology that has the capability to help ministries, companies, and experts for diving into the data to find important insights and patterns to help them take suitable decisions. The farmers and marketers of the date product in the production regions lack to discover the most important characteristics of dates types from the economically, healthy, and the type of consumers point of view to achieve the highest profits by choosing the best types and the most consumed. The research objective is to extract interesting patterns from the dates’ product dataset, using Machine Learning, based on association rules generation. This, in turn, will support the farmers, and marketers to discover new features related to the production, consumption, and marketing processes. This research used a real dataset collected from KSA, Qassim region, which is the first region of cultivation of palm, that produces the best types of dates in the Arab region. The data preprocessed and analyzed by the Apriori algorithm. The results show important features and insights related to the health benefits of dates, production, its consumption, consumers types, and marketing. Consequently, these results can be employed, for instance, to encourage individuals to consume dates for their nutritional value and their important health benefits., furthermore, the results encourage producers to focus on the production of preferable types and to improve the marketing policies of the other types.</div>

Television white spaces (TVWSs) refer to the unused part of the spectrum under the very high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) bands. TVWS are frequencies under licenced primary users (PUs) that are not being used and are available for secondary users (SUs). There are several ways of implementing TVWS in communications, one of which is the use of TVWS database (TVWSDB). The primary purpose of TVWSDB is to protect PUs from interference with SUs. There are several geolocation databases available for this purpose. However, it is unclear if those databases have the prediction feature that gives TVWSDB the capability of decreasing the number of inquiries from SUs. With this in mind, the authors present a reinforcement learning-based TVWSDB. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a machine learning technique that focuses on what has been done based on mapping situations to actions to obtain the highest reward. The learning process was conducted by trying out the actions to gain the reward instead of being told what to do. The actions may directly affect the rewards and future rewards. Based on the results, this algorithm effectively searched the most optimal channel for the SUs in query with the minimum search duration. This paper presents the advantage of using a machine learning approach in TVWSDB with an accurate and faster-searching capability for the available TVWS channels intended for SUs.

Inspired by natural language processing techniques we here introduce Mol2vec which is an unsupervised machine learning approach to learn vector representations of molecular substructures. Similarly, to the Word2vec models where vectors of closely related words are in close proximity in the vector space, Mol2vec learns vector representations of molecular substructures that are pointing in similar directions for chemically related substructures. Compounds can finally be encoded as vectors by summing up vectors of the individual substructures and, for instance, feed into supervised machine learning approaches to predict compound properties. The underlying substructure vector embeddings are obtained by training an unsupervised machine learning approach on a so-called corpus of compounds that consists of all available chemical matter. The resulting Mol2vec model is pre-trained once, yields dense vector representations and overcomes drawbacks of common compound feature representations such as sparseness and bit collisions. The prediction capabilities are demonstrated on several compound property and bioactivity data sets and compared with results obtained for Morgan fingerprints as reference compound representation. Mol2vec can be easily combined with ProtVec, which employs the same Word2vec concept on protein sequences, resulting in a proteochemometric approach that is alignment independent and can be thus also easily used for proteins with low sequence similarities.

This study aimed to enhance the accuracy of extreme rainfall forecast, using a machine learning technique for forecasting hydrological impact. In this study, machine learning with XGBoost technique was applied for correcting the quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) to develop a hydrological quantitative precipitation forecast (HQPF) for flood inundation modeling. The performance of machine learning techniques for HQPF production was evaluated with a focus on two cases: one for heavy rainfall events in Seoul and the other for heavy rainfall accompanied by Typhoon Kong-rey (1825). This study calculated the well-known statistical metrics to compare the error derived from QPF-based rainfall and HQPF-based rainfall against the observational data from the four sites. For the heavy rainfall case in Seoul, the mean absolute errors (MAE) of the four sites, i.e., Nowon, Jungnang, Dobong, and Gangnam, were 18.6 mm/3 h, 19.4 mm/3 h, 48.7 mm/3 h, and 19.1 mm/3 h for QPF and 13.6 mm/3 h, 14.2 mm/3 h, 33.3 mm/3 h, and 12.0 mm/3 h for HQPF, respectively. These results clearly indicate that the machine learning technique is able to improve the forecasting performance for localized rainfall. In addition, the HQPF-based rainfall shows better performance in capturing the peak rainfall amount and spatial pattern. Therefore, it is considered that the HQPF can be helpful to improve the accuracy of intense rainfall forecast, which is subsequently beneficial for forecasting floods and their hydrological impacts.
