: The accurate identification of insect bites from images of skin is daunting due to the fine gradations among diverse bite types, variability in human skin response, and inconsistencies in image quality. : For this work, we introduce DeepBiteNet, a new ensemble-based deep learning model designed to perform robust multiclass classification of insect bites from RGB images. Our model aggregates three semantically diverse convolutional neural networks-DenseNet121, EfficientNet-B0, and MobileNetV3-Small-using a stacked meta-classifier designed to aggregate their predicted outcomes into an integrated, discriminatively strong output.

This study presents a dual-framework approach that integrates a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a facial landmark analysis model to enhance drowsiness detection. The CNN model classifies driver states into "Awake" and "Drowsy", achieving a classification accuracy of 92.

New, innovative, and scientific approaches are required to address these issues while enhancing the reliability and efficiency of electricity supply. This study evaluates the reliability of Internet of Things (IoT)-aided remote monitoring systems specifically designed for a low-voltage overhead transmission line.

Nonetheless, sensor nodes experience increased energy consumption during data transmission, leading to a rapid depletion of energy levels as data are routed towards the base station. Although numerous strategies have been developed to address these challenges and enhance the energy efficiency of networks, the formulation of a clustering-based routing algorithm that achieves both high energy efficiency and increased packet transmission rate for large-scale sensor networks remains an NP-hard problem.
