A detailed study of resampling algorithms for cyberattack classification in engineering applications.

The evolution of engineering applications is highly relevant in the context of protecting industrial systems. As industries are increasingly interconnected, the need for robust cybersecurity measures becomes paramount. Engineering informatics not only provides tools for knowledge representation and extraction but also affords a comprehensive spectrum of developing sophisticated cybersecurity solutions. However, safeguarding industrial systems poses a unique challenge due to the inherent heterogeneity of data within these environments. Together with this problem, it's crucial to acknowledge that datasets that simulate real cyberattacks within these diverse environments exhibit a high imbalance, often skewed towards certain types of traffics. This study proposes a system for addressing class imbalance in cybersecurity. To do this, three oversampling (SMOTE, Borderline1-SMOTE, and ADASYN) and five undersampling (random undersampling, cluster centroids, NearMiss, repeated edited nearest neighbor, and Tomek Links) methods are tested. Particularly, these balancing algorithms are used to generate one-vs-rest binary models and to develop a two-stage classification system. By doing so, this study aims to enhance the efficacy of cybersecurity measures ensuring a more comprehensive understanding and defense against the diverse range of threats encountered in industrial environments. Experimental results demonstrates the effectiveness of proposed system for cyberattack detection and classification among nine widely known cyberattacks.

Study on Vehicle-Bridge Coupled Vibration of Curved Girder Bridges under Different Road Surface Grades

This study explores the impact of different levels of road surface smoothness on the dynamic response of bridges. By conducting a detailed analysis under five different conditions of road surface smoothness, the mechanisms by which road surface irregularities affect the dynamic characteristics and safety performance of bridge structures are revealed. The research employs the finite element simulation method to compare and analyze the changes in key dynamic indicators such as vertical displacement, torsional angle, torque, and bending moment of bridges under different grades of road surface smoothness. The results indicate that a decrease in road surface smoothness significantly increases the dynamic response of bridges. The findings provide important reference information for bridge engineers in the design and maintenance of bridges.

Comparison of Classification Algorithms for Predicting Graduation of Informatics Engineering Students with Orange Data Mining

Timely completion of studies is an important parameter to assess the competence of graduates.

The dataset used is the 2018-2020 batch student data at Prof. Dr. Hamka Muhammadiyah University, consisting of 500 student data (60% training data and 40% test data). The analysis was carried out by utilizing Orange Data Mining software, with model evaluation involving K-Fold Cross Validation with a value of (K=5), Confusion Matrix, and ROC. The results show that the K-NN algorithm is the most effective algorithm in predicting student graduation status, with accuracy and precision rates reaching 92%, recall rate of 89%.

Inflammaging in Multidrug-Resistant Sepsis of Geriatric ICU Patients and Healthcare Challenges.

Multidrug-resistant sepsis (MDR) is a pressing concern in intensive care unit (ICU) settings, specifically among geriatric patients who experience age-related immune system changes and comorbidities. The aim of this review is to explore the clinical impact of MDR sepsis in geriatric ICU patients and shed light on healthcare challenges associated with its management. We conducted a comprehensive literature search using the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and Google Scholar search engines. Our search incorporated keywords such as "multidrug-resistant sepsis" OR "MDR sepsis", "geriatric ICU patients" OR "elderly ICU patients", and "complications", "healthcare burdens", "diagnostic challenges", and "healthcare challenges" associated with MDR sepsis in "ICU patients" and "geriatric/elderly ICU patients". This review explores the specific risk factors contributing to MDR sepsis, the complexities of diagnostic challenges, and the healthcare burden faced by elderly ICU patients. Notably, the elderly population bears a higher burden of MDR sepsis (57.5%), influenced by various factors, including comorbidities, immunosuppression, age-related immune changes, and resource-limited ICU settings. Furthermore, sepsis imposes a significant economic burden on healthcare systems, with annual costs exceeding $27 billion in the USA. These findings underscore the urgency of addressing MDR sepsis in geriatric ICU patients and the need for tailored interventions to improve outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

Bridging the organoid translational gap: integrating standardization and micropatterning for drug screening in clinical and pharmaceutical medicine

Abstract Synthetic organ models such as organoids and organ-on-a-chip have been receiving recognition from administrative agencies. Despite the proven success of organoids in predicting drug efficacy on laboratory scales, their translational advances have not fully satisfied the expectations for both clinical implementation and commercial applications. The transition from laboratory settings to clinical applications continues to encounter challenges. Employing engineering methodologies to facilitate the bridging of this gap for organoids represents one of the key directions for future advancement. The main measures to bridge the gap include environmental and phenotypic recapitulation, 3D patterning, matrix engineering, and multi-modality information acquisition and processing. Pilot whole-process clinical/pharmaceutical applications with fast and standardized organoid models will continuously offer convincing frontline optimization clues and driving forces to the organoid community, which is a promising path to translational organoid technologies.

TECHNOLOGY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF MACHINE-GRAPHICS PROFILE OF A PARTS AND ASSEMBLY UNITS IN TRAINING SKETCHES

The purpose of studying the discipline “Engineering Graphics” is to acquire skills in working with engineering and graphic information: mapping spatial objects to orthogonal planes in the form of a drawing (direct task), reading a drawing (inverse task), ultimately solving spatial and logical problems. The necessity to start performing graphic works with a pencil, paper, using drawing and graphic tools is shown and justified, and only then to involve modern computer technologies for these purposes. Not the ability to work with a pencil; it is not understood that the use of computer graphics hardware and software at the initial stage leads to the loss of graphic competence of the graduate, and ultimately to a decrease in the competitive ability of specialists.

Information engine with feedback delay based on a two-level system.

An information engine based on a two-level system in contact with a thermal reservoir is studied analytically. The model incorporates delay time between the measurement of the state of the system and the feedback. The engine efficiency and work extracted per cycle are studied as a function of delay time and energy spacing between the two levels. It is found that the range of delay time over which one can extract work from the information engine increases with temperature. For delay times comparable to the relaxation time, efficiency and work per cycle are maxima when k_{B}T≈2U_{0}, the energy difference between the levels. The generalized Jarzynski equality and the generalized integral fluctuation theorem are explicitly verified for the model. The results from the model are compared with the simulation results for a feedback engine based on a particle moving in a one-dimensional square potential. The variation of efficiency, work per cycle, and efficacy with the delay time is compared using relaxation time in the two-level model as the fitting parameter, leading to a good fit.
