Machine Learning Algorithms and Their Effects on Crop Production in Agriculture: A Review Nada M. Khalil Al-Ani, Sadik Kamel Gharghan, Ziad Qais Al-Abbasi, Razan Alenezi, Muhammed Abdelhameed Journal of Techniques, 2026 Agricultural production faces challenges, such as water scarcity, climate change, and the rising demand for food to feed the growing global population. Incorporating wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and Machine Learning (ML) enables an efficient Synergistic approach for crop monitoring, predicting, and managing. WSNs prefer environmental data instantaneously, UAVs provide data collection for large-scale aerial, and ML processes this data to make actionable decisions. The primary objective of this review is to explore the comprehensive effect of WSNs, UAVs, and ML in the agriculture sector, emphasizing crop yield, environmental sustainability, and optimizing resources. In addition, this review aims to detail the benefits and limitations of ML technology and its impact on farming. Integrating state-of-the-art technologies has expressed several key areas of significant potential, such as crop health monitoring, precision irrigation, yield prediction, disease and pest detection, and resource efficiency. Hence, the collaboration of recent technologies in modern farming significantly enhances monitoring and management in real-time, improves productivity and sustainability, and addresses global food security challenges. At the same time, this would shape agriculture's future through innovative promotion and more sustainable farming practices.
A Hybrid Algorithm for Optimising Power Consumption of Wireless Sensor Networks in Precision Agriculture Nada M. Khalil Al‐Ani, Sadik Kamel Gharghan, Ziad Qais Al‐Abbasi, Ali Al‐Naji, Javaan Chahl Iet Networks, 2026 Recently, precision agriculture has used wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to gain valuable insights and improve crop yields, promoting efficient resource use and data‐driven decisions. However, WSNs face challenges, such as high power consumption from continuous sensing, data processing and communication, especially in large‐scale setups, which limits their lifespan. This paper focuses on reducing power use in agricultural WSN sensor nodes during data transmission of soil moisture, rainfall, light intensity, air temperature and humidity from the transmitting sensor node to the base station. Four algorithms are proposed to cut power consumption. First, a sleep/wake (S/W) scheme using a simple duty cycle called S/W‐DC. Second, the S/W scheme combined with adaptive data sampling (ADS) based on redundant data (RD), called S/W‐ADS‐RD. Third, the S/W scheme integrated with dynamic voltage scaling (DVS), named S/W‐DVS. Fourth, a hybrid of all three, called S/W‐ADS‐RD‐DVS. The sensor uses a 12 V/5 W solar panel for energy harvesting to maintain operation. The hybrid algorithm achieved 99.232% power savings and extended battery life to approximately 1.83 years. During a 6‐h session, data transmission was reduced by 99.93%. This research could significantly improve WSN efficiency in precision agriculture and can be applied to energy‐efficient WSN deployment across various fields, supporting Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Intelligent air pollution prediction algorithm-based optimized random forest regression for reducing asthmatic attacks Saif Saad Fakhrulddin, Vaibhav Bhatt, Sadik Kamel Gharghan Journal of Air Pollution and Health, 2025 Introduction: Air pollution can trigger the attack in asthmatic patients if uncontrolled. Previous works focused on controlling pollution by proposing algorithms to predict air pollution. While these prediction algorithms save patients from attack triggers, they have limitations such as prediction accuracy, mathematical complexity, and lack of adequate patient notification systems.Materials and methods: This study proposed a novel Intelligent Air Pollution Prediction (IAPP) algorithm based on optimizing Random Forest Regression (RFR) to predict air pollution and send an alert message to the patient and hospital in real time. Meanwhile, IAPP utilized reliable data from Internet of Things (IoT)-based air pollution detection nodes. The performance of IAPP was evaluated in a real-world environment during the peak pollutant season to test the prediction accuracy of air pollution.Results: Results showed that the proposed IAPP achieved a high prediction accuracy of 99.98% with an R-squared value of 0.99. This demonstrated that the IAPP algorithm based on the RFR model can effectively protect asthmatic patients from attack triggers.Conclusion: As a result, the IAPP algorithm reduces hospital visits during high pollution and enables patients to complete their daily activities without obstacles or absence.
Review of Biomedical Signal-Based Control Systems for Electric Wheelchairs Hanan Jabbar Abdulkareem, Sadik Kamel Gharghan, Saad Mutashar International Journal of Engineering and Technology Innovation, 2025 Mobility impairments significantly challenge independence and quality of life, especially for individuals who rely on wheelchairs. Recent advances in intelligent control systems for electric wheelchairs aim to address these challenges by enabling hands-free operation using biomedical signals. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of control strategies that utilize physiological and biological signals—such as head movements, voice commands, electroencephalogram, electrooculography, and electromyography—for wheelchair navigation. The study categorizes and compares these systems based on input modality, signal type, adaptability, and integration with soft computing techniques. Key findings highlight the strengths of multimodal approaches, the challenges posed by signal noise and user fatigue, and the need for improved real-world validation. By synthesizing the current research landscape, this review identifies future research directions focused on enhancing usability, safety, and accessibility in smart wheelchair technologies.
