Ensuring sustainable and resilient agricultural systems in the face of intensifying crop disease threats requires intelligent, data-driven tools for early detection and intervention. This study proposes a novel hybrid framework for potato disease classification that integrates copula-based dependency modeling with a Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM), further enhanced through hyperparameter tuning using the biologically inspired Puma Optimization (PO) algorithm. The system is trained and evaluated on a real-world dataset derived from structured field experiments, comprising 52 instances and 42 agronomic, microbial, and ecological variables.

In modern power systems, it is crucial to monitor and detect internal faults in power transformers promptly and accurately to ensure reliability and prevent disruptions. Failure to identify these faults promptly can reduce the transformer's lifespan, cause system disconnection, and compromise network stability. This paper introduces an innovative method for the discrimination, classification, and localization of internal short-circuit faults in power transformers, with a focus on three types of winding faults: turn-to-turn fault, series short circuits, and shunt short circuits.

Stochastic optical solitons are a fascinating phenomenon in nonlinear optics where soliton-like behavior emerges in systems affected by stochastic noise. This study establishes a fundamental framework for stochastic wave propagation in birefringent fibers through the cubic-quintic-septic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). Our modified extended mapping technique yields exact analytical solutions (bright, dark, and singular solitons, periodic structures, and Weierstrass elliptic waves) that explicitly incorporate multiplicative noise and birefringent coupling.
