The evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) has empowered modern industries with the capability to implement large-scale IoT ecosystems, such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The IIoT is vulnerable to a diverse range of cyberattacks that can be exploited by intruders and cause substantial reputational and financial harm to organizations. To preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of IIoT networks, an anomaly-based intrusion detection system (IDS) can be used to provide secure, reliable, and efficient IIoT ecosystems. In this paper, we propose an anomaly-based IDS for IIoT networks as an effective security solution to efficiently and effectively overcome several IIoT cyberattacks. The proposed anomaly-based IDS is divided into three phases: pre-processing, feature selection, and classification. In the pre-processing phase, data cleaning and normalization are performed. In the feature selection phase, the candidates’ feature vectors are computed using two feature reduction techniques, minimum redundancy maximum relevance and neighborhood components analysis. For the final step, the modeling phase, the following classifiers are used to perform the classification: support vector machine, decision tree, k-nearest neighbors, and linear discriminant analysis. The proposed work uses a new data-driven IIoT data set called X-IIoTID. The experimental evaluation demonstrates our proposed model achieved a high accuracy rate of 99.58%, a sensitivity rate of 99.59%, a specificity rate of 99.58%, and a low false positive rate of 0.4%. 相似文献
Recently, the application of metal oxides such as Fe3O4 nanoparticles have wide interest for environmental remediation and treatment of wastewater especially contaminated with azo dyes owing to its high degradation efficacy and low toxicity. The recovery of magnetic catalysts without losing their efficiency is an essential feature in the catalytic applications. The aim of this article is to investigate and synthesis of magnetically retrievable Fe3O4/polyvinylpyrrolidone/polystyrene (Fe3O4/PVP/PS) nanocomposite for the catalytic degradation of azo dye acid red 18 (AR18). Fe3O4/PVP/PS nanocomposite was prepared in two steps. Firstly, PVP/PS microsphere was synthesized by γ-irradiation polymerization of styrene in presence of PVP solution. Secondly, deposition of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on PVP/PS microsphere was achieved by the alkaline co-precipitation of Fe3+/Fe2+ ions. The chemical structural and morphological properties of PVP/PS microsphere and Fe3O4/PVP/PS nanocomposite were examined by XRD, TEM, DLS, FTIR, EDX and VSM techniques. TEM results showed homogeneous morphology, spherical shaped and well-dispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles with average particle size of 26 nm around PVP/PS microspheres. The VSM measurements of Fe3O4/PVP/PS nanocomposite exhibit excellent magnetic response of saturation magnetization 26.38 emu/g which is suitable in magnetic separation. The effect of the synthesized Fe3O4/PVP/PS nanocomposite on the catalytic degradation of AR18 in presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst was examined. The catalyst Fe3O4/PVP/PS/H2O2 played basic role in promoting the oxidation degradation efficiency of AR18 of initial concentration 50 mg/L to 94.4% in 45 min with excellent recyclability till the sixth cycles under the best conditions of pH 3, 2% v/v H2O2 and 0.3 g catalyst amount. Furthermore, the Fe3O4/PVP/PS/H2O2 hybrid catalyst system supports high capability for oxidation degradation of mixture of different dyes. The Fe3O4/PVP/PS nanocomposite catalyst had high magnetic and recyclability characters which are acceptable for the treatment of wastewater contaminated by various dyes pollutants.
Purpose: Metformin hydrochloride (MF) repurposing as adjuvant anticancer therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) proved effective. Several studies attempted to develop MF-loaded nanoparticles (NPs), however the entrapment efficiency (EE%) was poor. Thus, the present study aimed at the facile development of a new series of chitosan (CS)-based semi-interpenetrating network (semi-IPN) NPs incorporating Pluronic® nanomicelles as nanocarriers for enhanced entrapment and sustained release of MF for efficient treatment of CRC.Methods: The NPs were prepared by ionic gelation and subsequently characterized using FTIR, DSC, TEM, and DLS. A full factorial design was also adopted to study the effect of various formulation variables on EE%, particle size, and zeta-potential of NPs.Results: NPs had a spherical shape and a mean particle size ranging between 135 and 220?nm. FTIR and DSC studies results were indicative of successful ionic gelation with the drug being dispersed in its amorphous form within CS-Pluronic® matrix. Maximum EE% reaching 57.00?±?12.90% was achieved using Pluronic®-123 based NPs. NPs exhibited a sustained release profile over 48?h. The MF-loaded NPs sensitized RKO CRC cells relative to drug alone.Conclusion: The reported results highlighted the novel utility of the developed NPs in the arena of colon cancer treatment. 相似文献
New and renewable sources of energy can make an increasing contribution to the energy supply mix of developing countries in view of favourable renewable energy resource endowments, limitations and uncertainties of fossil fuel supplies, adverse balance of payments, and the increasing pressure on the environment from conventional energy generation. Among the renewable energy technologies, the generation of mechanical and electric power by wind machines has emerged as an economically viable and cost effective option. Therefore the Sudanese government has begun to pay more attention to the use of wind energy in rural areas in particular as a cost-effective solution to assist in water pumping and irrigation. 相似文献
Groundwater flow and behavior have to be investigated based on heterogeneous subsurface formation since the homogeneity assumption
of this formation is not valid. Over the past twenty years, stochastic approach and Monte Carlo technique have been utilized
very efficiently to understand the groundwater flow behavior. However, these techniques require lots of computational and
numerical efforts according to the various researchers’ comments. Therefore, utilizing new techniques with much less computational
efforts such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in the prediction of the stochastic behavior for the groundwater based on
heterogeneous subsurface formation is highly appreciated. The current paper introduces the ANN technique to investigate and
predict the stochastic behavior of a well draw down in a confined aquifer based on subsurface heterogeneous hydraulic conductivity.
Several ANN models are developed in this research to predict the unsteady two dimensional well draw down and its stochastic
characteristics in a confined aquifer. The results of this study showed that ANN method with less computational efforts was
very efficiently capable of simulating and predicting the stochastic behavior of the well draw down resulted from the continuous
constant pumping in the middle of a confined aquifer with subsurface heterogeneous hydraulic conductivity. 相似文献
The imminent exhaustion of fossil energy resources and the increasing demand for energy were the motives for those reasonable in Sudan to put into practice an energy policy based on rational use of energy; and on exploitation of new, and renewable energy sources. After 1980, as the supply of conventional energy has not been able to follow the tremendous increase of the production demand in rural areas of Sudan, a renewed interest for the application of wind energy has shown in many places. Therefore, the Sudanese government began to pay more attention to wind energy utilisation in rural areas. Because the wind energy resource in many rural areas is sufficient for attractive application of wind pumps, and as fuel is insufficient, the wind pumps will be spread on a rather large scale in the near future. Wind is a form of renewable energy, which is always in a non-steady state due to the wide temporal and spatial variations of wind velocity. A number of years worth of data concerning wind speed in Sudan have been compiled, evaluated and presented in this article. The need for the provision of new data stations in order to enable a complete and reliable assessment of the overall wind power potential of the country is identified and specific locations suggested. This paper presents the background and ideas of the development of the concept as well as the main results, and experience gained during ongoing project up to now. In Sudan, various designs of wind machines for water pumping have been developed and some designs are presently manufactured commercially. Results suggest that wind power would be more profitably used for local-and small-scale applications especially for remote rural areas. It is concluded that Sudan is blessed with abundant wind energy. 相似文献
Most of the open water irrigation channels in Egypt suffer from the infestation of aquatic weeds, especially the submerged
ones that cause numerous hydraulic problems for the open channels themselves and their water distributaries such as increasing
water losses, obstructing water flow, and reducing channels’ water distribution efficiencies. Accurate simulation and prediction
of flow behavior in such channels is very essential for water distribution decision makers. Artificial neural networks (ANN)
have proven to be very successful in the simulation of several physical phenomena, in general, and in the water research field
in particular. Therefore, the current study aims towards introducing the utilization of ANN in simulating the impact of vegetation
in main open channel, which supplies water to different distributaries, on the water surface profile in this main channel.
Specifically, the study, presented in the current paper utilizes ANN technique for the development of various models to simulate
the impact of different submerged weeds’densities, different flow discharges, and different distributaries operation scheduling
on the water surface profile in an experimental main open channel that supplies water to different distributaries. In the
investigated experiment, the submerged weeds were simulated as branched flexible elements. The investigated experiment was
considered as an example for implementing the same methodology and technique in a real open channel system. The results showed
that the ANN technique is very successful in simulating the flow behavior of the pre-mentioned open channel experiment with
the existence of the submerged weeds. In addition, the developed ANN models were capable of predicting the open channel flow
behavior in all the submerged weeds’cases that were considered in the ANN development process 相似文献
Superconductor samples of type Bi1.8Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ added with nano ZnO and Fe2O3 were synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction technique. The samples were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and electrical resistivity measurements. Excess conductivity analysis of the investigated samples was carried out as a function of temperature using Aslamazov and Larkin (AL) model. The analysis showed four different fluctuation regions namely critical (cr), three-dimensional (3D), two-dimensional (2D) and short-wave (sw). The zero temperature coherence length along c-axis, effective layer thickness of the two-dimensional system and inter-layer coupling strength were estimated as a function of nano-oxides concentration. In addition, the thermodynamics, lower and upper critical magnetic fields as well as critical current density were calculated from the Ginzburg number NG. It was found that the low concentration of nano-ZnO addition up to x=0.2 wt.% improved the physical properties of (Bi,Pb)-2223 phase. In contrary, these properties were deteriorated for x>0.2. These results indicated that the addition of a low amount of nano-ZnO during the final processing of (Bi,Pb)-2223 samples can be effectively improved the flux pinning ability, while the addition of a high amount of nano-ZnO decreased the volume fraction and increased the resistance of grain boundaries. Moreover, the addition of nano-Fe2O3 had a negative effect on the superconducting parameters of the (Bi,Pb)-2223 phase. This behavior was attributed to the decrease in the volume fraction of (Bi,Pb)-2223 phase with the increasing of nano-Fe2O3. 相似文献
