  • A privacy preserving machine learning framework for medical image analysis using quantized fully connected neural networks with TFHE based inference
    Sadhana Selvakumar, B. Senthilkumar
    Scientific Reports, 2025
    Medical image analysis using deep learning algorithms has become a basis of modern healthcare, enabling early detection, diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease monitoring. However, sharing sensitive raw medical data with third parties for analysis raises significant privacy concerns. This paper presents a privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML) framework using a Fully Connected Neural Network (FCNN) for secure medical image analysis using the MedMNIST dataset. The proposed PPML framework leverages a torus-based fully homomorphic encryption (TFHE) to ensure data privacy during inference, maintain patient confidentiality, and ensure compliance with privacy regulations. The FCNN model is trained in a plaintext environment for FHE compatibility using Quantization-Aware Training to optimize weights and activations. The quantized FCNN model is then validated under FHE constraints through simulation and compiled into an FHE-compatible circuit for encrypted inference on sensitive data. The proposed framework is evaluated on the MedMNIST datasets to assess its accuracy and inference time in both plaintext and encrypted environments. Experimental results reveal that the PPML framework achieves a prediction accuracy of 88.2% in the plaintext setting and 87.5% during encrypted inference, with an average inference time of 150 milliseconds per image. This shows that FCNN models paired with TFHE-based encryption achieve high prediction accuracy on MedMNIST datasets with minimal performance degradation compared to unencrypted inference.
  • An Effective Production, Distribution and Performance Analysis of Jeevamirtham towards the Smart Agronomy for Plants and Crops
    B. Senthilkumar, K. Sampathkumar, R. Gowrishankar
    Indian Journal of Agricultural Research, 2025
    Background: Agriculture not only provides food for the living beings, it also maintains the environmental balance in the globe. Water management and manure supply management to the plants and crops is the important factors to be considered for healthy and heavy yielding. Manures plays major role in the effective agriculture process. Both non organic and organic manures are effectively utilized by the farmers now a day. By considering the soil, air, water and the entire environmental safety, feeding non organic manure has been slowed down by the formers and governments. Hence, the only chance remains are the traditional organic manure feeding for the effective growth and yielding. Many organic manure has been proposed and tested by many researchers for its effectiveness on all plants and crops. Among all the organic manures tested, one organic manure “Jeevamirtham” have provided best results in almost allplants and crops. Preparation and feeding of Jeevamirtham is a tedious and time consumingprocess and it needs high man power and water source. Hence, to handle this Jeevamirtham, the traditional method of manure feeding needs help from technology. Methods: To satisfy the needs of agriculture activities, a smart method of organic manure preparation and feeding has been proposed and tested in this work. This new method consists of automatic mixer, jeevamirtham producing tank, slurry pump and distribution setup. It is a semi-automated method which provides manure to individual plant and crop in equal volume. Result: This proposed method is capable of producing 3000 litres of Jeevamirtham in 72 hours of time and supplies almost equally to all plants and crops in the field. Further, this new method has achieved notable improvements in plant growth, yielding, disease resistance, draught resistance, 95% of fertility with longer life time in various soil environments. The PM also has an improvement of 2-4% in the yielding with comparatively small quantity of water, time and manpower requirement than all other existing methods.

    International Journal of Grid and Utility Computing, 2025
    In contemporary advanced manufacturing environments, deploying numerous intelligent mobile devices is crucial to meet the rising need for adaptable production capabilities. This research article focuses on addressing critical challenges in modern connected environments where intelligent mobile devices play a crucial role. These devices are equipped with a variety of sensors and constantly synchronise massive data sets. Furthermore, with the increasing importance of energy efficiency, current studies highlight energy use as a substantial expense. Nevertheless, previous research has mostly focused on analysing energy consumption in cloud servers, neglecting to include the energy usage associated with edge computing and underestimating the influence of various mobile devices. This becomes further crucial as interconnected settings increase. The research article presents an integer programming paradigm that addresses the difficulty of efficiently deploying MEC servers and fifth generation (5G) small cells. Given the NP-hard nature of edge server deployment, the research article proposes a novel Hybrid Whale-Grey Wolf Optimisation (HWGWO) algorithm. This metaheuristic algorithm combines the global exploration capabilities of WOA with the local search efficiency of GWO, thereby achieving a balanced and efficient search process.
