The improved chameleon swarm algorithm (ICSA) enhances feature subset selection by refining the exploration–exploitation balance through Lévy flight‐based search, rotation‐type refinement, and adaptive parameter settings. Evaluated on the NSL‐KDD benchmark for intrusion detection, ICSA achieves superior accuracy (97.91%), detection rate (98.75%), and ...

Evaluation the Using of Local Aggregate in High Modulus Asphalt Concrete Layers [PDF]
The performance of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures is greatly affected by the properties of the aggregate characteristics. The aggregate properties that significantly influence the performance of HMA mixtures are gradation, shape (angularity) and texture (

Evaluating the Stages of Environmental Pollution and Vital Indicators in the Qayyarah Refinery Area, Mosul, Iraq [PDF]
Oil spills can have varying degrees of impact on the aquatic environment depending on factors such as the type of oil spilled, the volume released, and the ecosystem affected because crude oil and refined petroleum contain harmful substances such as ...

This study presents the Benjamin‐Bona‐Mahony equation, a new mathematical model for nonlinear wave propagation in medium with just spatial dispersion. The suggested model only considers spatial derivatives, hence representing pure spatial dispersion, in contrast to the traditional formulation that incorporates mixed space‐time derivatives in its ...

A Scalable and Generalised Deep Learning Framework for Anomaly Detection in Surveillance Videos
Anomaly detection in videos is challenging due to the complexity, noise, and diverse nature of activities such as violence, shoplifting, and vandalism. While deep learning (DL) has shown excellent performance in this area, existing approaches have struggled to apply DL models across different anomaly tasks without extensive retraining.

Improvement of Concrete Characterization Using Nanomaterials: State‐of‐the‐Art
The utilization of nanomaterials in concrete has undergone extensive research to enhance its properties. Nanosilica (NS), nanoalumina, nanometakaolin (NMK), nanoclay (NC), and nanocarbon dioxide have demonstrated the ability to improve the compressive strength of concrete at different ages, with a more pronounced impact on early strength.
