Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Prediction of Biomechanical Properties of Ex Vivo Human Femoral Cortical Bone Using Raman Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Algorithms(Elsevier, 2025-09) Unal, Mustafa; Unlu, Ramazan; Uppuganti, Sasidhar; Nyman, Jeffry S.This study applied Raman spectroscopy (RS) to ex vivo human cadaveric femoral mid-diaphysis cortical bone specimens (n = 118 donors; age range 21-101 years) to predict fracture toughness properties via machine learning (ML) models. Spectral features, together with demographic variables (age, sex) and structural parameters (cortical porosity, volumetric bone mineral density), were fed into support vector regression (SVR), extreme tree regression (ETR), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and ensemble models to predict fracture-toughness metrics such as crack-initiation toughness (Kinit) and energy-to-fracture (J-integral). Feature selection was based on Raman-derived mineral and organic matrix parameters, such as nu 1Phosphate (PO4)/CH2-wag, nu 1PO4/ Amide I, and others, to capture the complex composition of bone. Our results indicate that ensemble models consistently outperformed individual models, with the best performance for crack initiation toughness (Kinit) prediction being achieved using the ensemble approach. This yielded a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.623, root-mean squared error (RMSE) of 1.320, mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.015, and mean percentage absolute error (MAPE) of 0.134. For prediction of the overall energy to propagate a crack (J-integral), the XGB model achieved an R2 of 0.737, RMSE of 2.634, MAE of 2.283, and MAPE of 0.240. This study highlights the importance of incorporating mineral quality properties (MP) and organic matrix properties (OMP) for enhanced prediction accuracy. This work represents the first-ever study combining Raman spectroscopy with other clinical and structural features to predict fracture toughness of human cortical bone, demonstrating the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and ML in advancing bone research. Future studies could focus on larger datasets and more advanced modeling techniques to further improve predictive capabilities.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Intelligent Traffic Light Systems Using Edge Flow Predictions(Elsevier, 2024-01) Thahir, Adam Rizvi; Coskun, Mustafa; Kilic, Sultan Kubra; Gungor, Vehbi CagriIn this paper, we propose a novel graph-based semi-supervised learning approach for traffic light management in multiple intersections. Specifically, the basic premise behind our paper is that if we know some of the occupied roads and predict which roads will be congested, we can dynamically change traffic lights at the intersections that are connected to the roads anticipated to be congested. Comparative performance evaluations show that the proposed approach can produce comparable average vehicle waiting time and reduce the training/learning time of learning adequate traffic light configurations for all intersections within a few seconds, while a deep learning-based approach can be trained in a few days for learning similar light configurations.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Edgebus: Co-Simulation Based Resource Management for Heterogeneous Mobile Edge Computing Environments(Elsevier, 2024-12) Ali, Babar; Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Wu, Huaming; Cuadrado, Felix; Uhlig, SteveKubernetes has revolutionized traditional monolithic Internet of Things (IoT) applications into lightweight, decentralized, and independent microservices, thus becoming the de facto standard in the realm of container orchestration. Intelligent and efficient container placement in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is challenging subjected to user mobility, and surplus but heterogeneous computing resources. One solution to constantly altering user location is to relocate containers closer to the user; however, this leads to additional underutilized active nodes and increases migration's computational overhead. On the contrary, few to no migrations are attributed to higher latency, thus degrading the Quality of Service (QoS). To tackle these challenges, we created a framework named EdgeBus(1), which enables the co-simulation of container resource management in heterogeneous MEC environments based on Kubernetes. It enables the assessment of the impact of container migrations on resource management, energy, and latency. Further, we propose a mobility and migration cost-aware (MANGO) lightweight scheduler for efficient container management by incorporating migration cost, CPU cores, and memory usage for container scheduling. For user mobility, the Cabspotting dataset is employed, which contains real-world traces of taxi mobility in San Francisco. In the EdgeBus framework, we have created a simulated environment aided with a real-world testbed using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to measure the performance of the MANGO scheduler in comparison to baseline schedulers such as IMPALA-based MobileKube, Latency Greedy, and Binpacking. Finally, extensive experiments have been conducted, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the MANGO in terms of latency and number of migrations.Article Citation - WoS: 130Citation - Scopus: 218AI-Based Fog and Edge Computing: A Systematic Review, Taxonomy and Future Directions(Elsevier, 2023-04) Iftikhar, Sundas; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Song, Chenghao; Xu, Minxian; Aslanpour, Mohammad Sadegh; Toosi, Adel N.; Uhlig, SteveResource management in computing is a very challenging problem that involves making sequential decisions. Resource limitations, resource heterogeneity, dynamic and diverse nature of workload, and the unpredictability of fog/edge computing environments have made resource management even more challenging to be considered in the fog landscape. Recently Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) based solutions are adopted to solve this problem. AI/ML methods with the capability to make sequential decisions like reinforcement learning seem most promising for these type of problems. But these algorithms come with their own challenges such as high variance, explainability, and online training. The continuously changing fog/edge environment dynamics require solutions that learn online, adopting changing computing environment. In this paper, we used standard review methodology to conduct this Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to analyze the role of AI/ML algorithms and the challenges in the applicability of these algorithms for resource management in fog/edge computing environments. Further, various machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning techniques for edge AI management have been discussed. Furthermore, we have presented the background and current status of AI/ML-based Fog/Edge Computing. Moreover, a taxonomy of AI/ML-based resource management techniques for fog/edge computing has been proposed and compared the existing techniques based on the proposed taxonomy. Finally, open challenges and promising future research directions have been identified and discussed in the area of AI/ML-based fog/edge computing.Article Citation - WoS: 62Citation - Scopus: 67Understanding the Effects of Artificial Intelligence on Energy Transition: The Moderating Role of Paris Agreement(Elsevier, 2024) Chishti, Muhammad Zubair; Xia, Xiqiang; Dogan, EyupThis study contributes to the existing literature by investigating and confirming a range of diverse outcomes related to the interplay of factors shaping the global energy transition (ET). Employing advanced methodologies, including the extension of the QVAR technique to short-term (SR), medium-term (MR), and long-term (LR) connectedness analysis, as well as the application of the CQ method to explore relationships within varying market conditions and timeframes, the study examines the interconnectedness of critical variables: artificial intelligence (AI), the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Paris Agreement (PA), green technologies (GT), geopolitical risk (GPR), and ET. The findings highlight several crucial insights. Firstly, all selected variables demonstrate substantial interconnectedness across different time horizons, except for MR, which exhibits comparatively weaker connectedness than SR and LR. Secondly, independent series reveal diverse impacts on ET across various market conditions and periods. For example, in SR, most series produce mixed effects on ET, with BRI having primarily adverse consequences and GPR predominantly yielding positive impacts. In MR, the influence of AI, PA, and GT on ET varies, while BRI enhances ET, and GPR essentially hampers it. Notably, in LR, AI, BRI, PA, and GT significantly promote ET, while GPR disrupts its progress. Additionally, the study underscores the dynamic and time-varying nature of the relationships between AI, BRI, PA, GT, GPR, and ET across different market conditions, thus holding essential implications for shaping global policies to foster sustainable energy transitions.
