  • Machine learning-enhanced surface plasmon resonance glucose biosensor using black phosphorus-strontium titanate multilayer architecture for non-invasive diabetes management
    S. Ponlatha, U.Arun Kumar, Habib Kraiem, N.A. Natraj
    Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2026
    Diabetes management requires precise and frequent glucose monitoring; however, existing techniques remain invasive, painful and insufficient for continuous long-term use, limiting patient compliance and accessibility. To address these limitations, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based glucose biosensor incorporating machine-learning-optimized black phosphorus (BP) sensing layers is proposed. A detailed analysis of the sensor design has been conducted using Maxwell’s Equations and Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) in order to optimize the thickness of the Au (7-54 nm), BP (0.2-2.2 nm) and SrTiO 3 (0.3-2.3 nm) layers followed by numerical validation using COMSOL Multiphysics. The optimized structure exhibits minimum reflectance values ranging from 0.253 % to 0.955 % for glucose-induced refractive index variations, corresponding to resonance angle shifts from 74° to 76.2°. A maximum local sensitivity of 300°/RIU is achieved over a narrow refractive index interval, while the overall sensitivity across the full sensing range varies between 166°/RIU and 183°/RIU. This performance surpasses many existing SPR sensors while maintaining a figure of merit of 76 and a detection accuracy of 0.152. A strong linear correlation between resonance angle and refractive index (R 2 = 0.99734), expressed as θ(°) = 178.5714RI − 164.3405, confirms excellent sensing precision. Furthermore, machine learning regression models demonstrate robust predictive performance with R 2 values ranging from 0.92 to 1.00, significantly enhancing real-time glucose response estimation. Electric field distribution analysis reveals maximum field confinement at the metal-dielectric interface at a 75° incident angle, ensuring efficient analyte interaction. These results demonstrate that the proposed SPR biosensor is highly sensitive, accurate, and suitable for intelligent wearable sensing applications for next-generation non-invasive glucose monitoring and diagnostics.

    Students with ASD often find it difficult to express their emotions in a social environment. Sometimes even the caregivers, teachers are not able to get connected with the kid. This eventually leads to many challenges in social interactions. To overcome this, multimodal emotional identification system has been adapted here with the procedure of articulation based analysis. The articulation is then converted as words by means of DistilBERT and LSTM based model. The model also takes the input from the caregiver or teachers or anyone who is interacting with the kid. Through the combined analysis of input queries and the responses to them, the analysis has been strengthened. The proposed approach outshined the other traditional ML algorithms in the shorter inference latency and in improvised real time adaptability. Along with the analysis model efficiency has been calculated for the benchmark analysis

    The rapid proliferation of Internet-connected devices has elevated the significance of cybersecurity, making intrusion detection a critical aspect of maintaining network integrity. Traditional security measures often fail to provide adequate protection against sophisticated attacks, necessitating advanced and robust solutions. This paper introduces a comprehensive cyber-internet security framework that leverages machine learning techniques for real-time intrusion detection and prevention. The proposed methodology employs a hybrid approach, integrating supervised and unsupervised learning models to detect anomalies and classify intrusions effectively. Specifically, a combination of Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Trees (DT), and K-means clustering is used to enhance detection accuracy and reduce false-positive rates.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieved a detection accuracy of 97.8%, a precision of 96.5%, and a recall of 95.2% on the NSL-KDD dataset. The implementation also reduced the false-positive rate to 1.2% and the computational overhead by 15% compared to traditional detection systems. Additionally, the proposed system was tested on real-time traffic data, where it successfully identified and mitigated various cyber threats, including Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and network infiltrations, with minimal latency and high reliability.In conclusion, the study presents an efficient and secured cyber-internet security framework that significantly enhances intrusion detection capabilities using machine learning techniques. The proposed system provides a scalable and adaptive solution for securing critical infrastructure and networks against evolving cyber threats, making it an ideal candidate for deployment in real-world cybersecurity applications.

    Energy management system (EMS) for distribution system with internet of things (IoT) using hybrid method is proposed in this paper. The proposed hybrid system is joined implementation of slime mould optimization algorithm (SMA) and chimp optimization algorithm (CA) and thus it is known as SMACA technique. The key point of the proposed scheme is to optimally direct the power and resources of the distribution system through persistent display of data as IoT-based communication system. At proposed scheme, every home device is interconnected using data acquisition module with an internet protocol (IP) address, which generates an enormous wireless network of working devices. For encouraging improved demand response for the distribution system to take care of energy, IoT-based communication system is utilized. To simply treat energy, optimal load requirement forecast and energy control processes are deal with SMACA system. In addition, the optimal utilization of the available resources and flexibility of these networks is provided and prolonged with IoT-based distribution system. In addition, the proposed system is capable for satisfying the common supply and energy requirement. Finally, the proposed model is performed on MATLAB/Simulink platform, and the performance of proposed system is compared with different techniques.
