Cybersecurity Governance Of Industrial Iot In Sub-Saharan Africa: Policy Gaps, Threat Landscape, And Lessons From Comparative African Contexts, Faztudo Languisse Eng.

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

The rapid deployment of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems across Sub-Saharan Africa's extractive, energy, logistics, and agro-industrial sectors has introduced a cybersecurity challenge of growing urgency: industrial networks that were designed for operational efficiency are increasingly exposed to cyber threats for which neither the organizations nor the regulatory frameworks are adequately prepared. This article examines the cybersecurity governance of IIoT systems in a developing African economy, using Mozambique as a primary case study and drawing comparative lessons from South Africa, Rwanda, and Kenya. Through an integrative literature review and documentary analysis of national digital, cybersecurity, and industrial policies, the …

Assessing Computer Vision Based Conflict Detection In Uas Traffic Monitoring Under Secure Communication Constraints, Fadjimata Issoufou Anaroua

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

The rapid growth of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is creating a new low-altitude airspace ecosystem where drones, air taxis, service suppliers, communication networks, sensors, and ground-based monitoring systems must work together safely. Within this ecosystem, UAS Traffic Management (UTM) is expected to provide a digital framework for coordinating operations beyond traditional air traffic control. However, reliable integration also requires resilient monitoring methods that can detect non-cooperative aircraft, protect communication links, and maintain timely situational awareness under real-world constraints.

This dissertation examines how computer vision can support cooperative monitoring systems such as Remote ID and ADS-B …

Enhanced Intrusion Detection Using Recurrent Neural Networks With Amino Acid Codon Features, Omar Fitian Rashid, Mohammed Ahmed Subhi, Safa Ahmed Abdulsahib, Mohammed Khaleel Hussein, Marwan Ali Albahar

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) is the main defense mechanism deployed by the current networks to prevent cyber threats. Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) are also a novel IDS structure that replaces the conventional training and testing mechanism. The strategy encodes network traffic data as biological sequences using amino acid codons in such a fashion that the RNN is capable of effectively analyzing temporal and sequence data patterns. RNN architecture design adopts embedding layers to handle codon representations and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layers to perform sequential data learning, which is followed by a fully connected network to perform classification functions, which …

The Effect Of Ideals In Near Rings With Respect To Zero Divisor And Completely Equiprime Split Graphs, Sarah Hamid Al-Sharifi, Ameer A. J. Al-Swidi

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

We seek to find several relationships for some of the graphs that were previously studied by us(completely equiprime graph $CEQ_J( N )$) and by other researchers(simple graph $\Gamma $(R)) based on the ideals of the near rings with our new definition, which is the split and non-split of graphs, which determines the consequent priorities in light of that, specifying that according to the properties of the near ring elements and their ideals.

Latent Space Exploration Of Stylegan2-Ada For Fashion Image Synthesis: A Practical Implementation Guide For Moderate-Sized Datasets, Ali H. Shareef, Hajer Ghodhbani, Tarek M. Hamdani, Habib Chabchoub, Adel M. Alimi

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

\hlThis paper presents the use of StyleGAN2-ADA for fashion image synthesis and editing. We demonstrate that generative adversarial networks (GANs) can generate realistic and diverse fashion images even under moderate data constraints. The model trained on a dataset of 9,000 fashion images achieved a Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) of 10.8, a Garment Structure Accuracy (GSA) of 0.85, a Pattern Continuity Score (PCS) of 0.78, and an Attribute Transfer Accuracy (ATA) averaging 75% across key attributes. These quantitative results confirm the model’s ability to produce high-quality, structurally consistent, and semantically coherent fashion images. Unlike previous studies focusing on …

Explainable Ai In Agriculture: Bridging The Gap Between Technology And Farmer, Jayarekha P, Anitha H M, Sowmya K S, Nalina V, Audithan Sivaraman, Madhu Narasimha

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

An intelligent and explainable, as well as user-friendly, crop recommendation and yield prediction system is developed to facilitate agricultural decision-making under various tillage methods with the help of Explainable AI. The system utilizes Machine Learning algorithms and calculates yield changes as a relative term with respect to various inputs such as location, month of sowing, years of NT adoption, and soil type using real-time environmental data; accordingly, it recommends crops. The prediction framework, which is based on various regression algorithms, including Linear Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting, was trained on the dataset of agronomic and climatic variables. …

A Hybrid Densenet121-Inceptionv3 Model For Multi-Output Race And Gender Classification, Maiwan Bahjat Abdulrazzaq, Mayyadah Ramiz Mahmood, Sardar Hasen Ali, Azar Abid Salih

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

This research proposes and validates a novel Hybrid DenseNet121-InceptionV3 architecture for robust multi-output demographic classification from facial images, with a focus on optimizing both time efficiency and parameter utilization. The model was trained on a curated subset of the UTKFace dataset comprising 4,000 images, balanced across four racial groups with equal gender distribution. Our hybrid approach processes images through parallel feature extractors, strategically combining DenseNet121's parameter-efficient feature reuse with InceptionV3's multi-scale analysis capabilities. This architectural synergy achieves superior performance while maintaining computational efficiency. Through rigorous 3-fold cross-validation, the hybrid model demonstrated significant advantages in accuracy and training time, achieving 98.35% …

Design And Fpga Deployment Of Quantized Convolutional Spiking Neural Networks For Ecg Arrhythmia Classification, Olamilekan Banjo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2020 - Present

Wearable ECG monitors enable continuous cardiac surveillance, yet most remain limited to basic heart rate metrics or coarse atrial fibrillation detection, relying on cloud-based analysis that introduces latency, connectivity dependence, and battery drain. Deploying advanced multi-class arrhythmia classification directly on-device is constrained by the tight memory, power, and computational budgets of wearable hardware. This dissertation presents a Quantized Convolutional Spiking Neural Network (QCSNN) for real-time ECG arrhythmia detection on edge hardware, developed across three progressive phases.

Phase 1 introduces a separately trained two-stage QCSNN architecture — a binary classifier cascaded with a four-class classifier — trained directly via surrogate gradient …

System Integration And Validation Of The Cal Poly Spacecraft Attitude Dynamics Simulator Mk. Iv, Bricen S. Rigby

Master's Theses

The Cal Poly Spacecraft Attitude Dynamics Simulator (SADS) is an ongoing project that seeks to enable the simulation and validation of sensors, actuators, and control logic related to spacecraft attitude control. The SADS platform rests atop a spher- ical air-bearing device which allows for nearly frictionless rotation in all three axes. The orientation of the platform is controlled by four reaction wheels arranged in a pyramidal configuration. Over the past few years, there have been significant updates to the reaction wheel subsystem, as well as requests for a more capable central com- puter. Therefore, a new system architecture for the …
