Wireless Networks Security Flaws and Hacking Avenues of Attacks
An access point offers wireless networking to several wireless client nodes in the shared medium when using IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks in infrastructure mode. The related nodes could be at risk of security attacks. In the field of cybersecurity, it is not sufficient to identify vulnerable points; rather, the difficulty lies in learning how hackers can take advantage of weak points to take countermeasures. This research paper simulates some of the risks caused by an attacker when connecting to an AP, as well as the risks of connecting to open Internet networks in public places, the importance of not using them to transfer personal data, and the need to raise awareness of the importance of protecting wireless networks. The Bettercap tool from the Kali Lunix operating system was used to simulate Address Resolution Protoco (ARP) spoofing attack, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Stripping attack, Domain Name System (DNS) spoofing attack, and Denial of Service (DoS) attack, which are based on Man in the Middle (MITM) attacks.
A Technique for Retinal Detachment Detection Manipulating YOLOv8 Models
A retinal detachment is a serious condition resulting in the retina detaching from its support layers, which are just beneath it. If untreated, this can cause blindness. To detect the classes of retinal detachment in various images, this paper introduces a novel method employing deep learning techniques involving the YOLOv8 algorithm. Notably, this marks the first use of the YOLOv8 model for retinal detachment detection. Retinal detachment can be identified with high precision using images obtained from Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The proposed work assesses the performance of these models using metrics such as mAP50, recall, and precision by training five YOLOv8 models: YOLOv8n, YOLOv8s, YOLOv8m, YOLOv8l, and YOLOv8x. Among these, the YOLOv8s model had the best performance with a mAP50 of 0.985, a recall of 0.97, and a precision of 0.968. The other models had the following mAP scores: YOLOv8n (0.949), YOLOv8m (0.906), YOLOv8l (0.889), and YOLOv8x (0.907). This demonstrates that the proposed system works effectively in detecting retinal detachment, resulting in highly accurate results mined from complex medical data sets and imaging, thereby making it an important tool in medicine
Study the impact of different annealing temperatures on synthetic Title: properties, surface topography, and optical properties of compounds (50% ZnO: 50% CdO) prepared by chemical deposition method
Studying on the structural properties, surface topography of compounds (ZnO 50%) and (CdO 50%) nanoparticles prepared by the method of chemical deposition, Before and after annealing at (600?) . Thin films with the same weight ratios were also prepared and deposited by the method of rotational coating and indicating them at different temperatures and the (600?, 400?, 200?) extent of their impact on On optical properties. The results of the X-ray diffraction showed (XRD) that all the results are of hexagonal crystal structure, and the topography of the surface was studied with the scanning electron microscope technique (SEM) and the impact of the annealing time on the loss of atomic weights of the chemical elements used in preparing the samples according to the technique (EDAX), or from the visual results, the value of the energy gap appeared if it appeared (3.614 eV) before annealing, but its value decreases with the increase in the annealing temperature, from which it changed to (3.551 eV3.349 eV), and (3.40 eV) with the change in the annealing temperature from (200?, 400?, 600?) respectively. This research aims to develop new materials with improved properties by controlling annealing processes, which enhances their use in many areas of advanced technology
Modeling and Simulation of a PV-Induction Motor Water Pumping System for Off-Grid Irrigation
Solar-powered (PV) water pumping systems provide a sustainable and efficient solution for irrigation, especially in areas with high solar radiation and limited access to electrical grids. The performance of these systems depends on their ability to operate at the maximum power point (MPP) to ensure optimal energy extraction from solar panels. In this study, the Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm was used to track the maximum power point (MPPT), in addition, the scalar V/F technique to control the speed of a three-phase induction motor is implemented. The proposed system consists of a solar panel array, a DC-DC converter, a voltage inverter, an LC filter, and a water pump.
Meteorological data for the Kirkuk area (e.g., solar radiation & temperature) were incorporated into the system analysis to ensure that it is adapted to the local environmental conditions. The system was simulated using MATLAB/Simulink to evaluate the performance under variable environmental conditions. The results showed that the P&O algorithm provides effective MPP tracking, while the V/F control maintains the stability of the motor speed while minimizing energy loss. This system is recommended as an effective and low-cost solution for irrigation and water supply applications in remote areas with high solar radiation, such as Kirkuk, which has an average solar radiation of up to 5.5 kWh/m²/day and temperatures ranging from 10°C to 45°C, making it an ideal environment for solar energy systems
