The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks plays a significant role in enhancing industrial automation systems by connecting industrial devices for real time data monitoring and predictive maintenance. However, this connectivity introduces new vulnerabilities which demand the development of advanced intrusion detection systems. The nuclear facilities are considered one of the closest examples of critical infrastructures that suffer from high vulnerability through the connectivity of IIoT networks. This paper develops a robust intrusion detection approach using machine and ensemble learning algorithms specifically determined for IIoT networks. This approach can achieve optimal performance with low time complexity suitable for real-time IIoT networks. For each algorithm, Grid Search is determined to fine-tune the hyperparameters for optimizing the performance while ensuring time computational efficiency. The proposed approach is investigated on recent IIoT intrusion detection datasets, WUSTL-IIOT-2021 and Edge-IIoT-2022 to cover a wider range of attacks with high precision and minimum false alarms. The study provides the effectiveness of ten machine and ensemble learning models on selected features of the datasets. Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE)-based multi-class balancing is used to manipulate dataset imbalances. The ensemble voting classifier is used to combine the best models with the best hyperparameters for raising their advantages to improve the performance with the least time complexity. The machine and ensemble learning algorithms are evaluated based on accuracy, precision, recall, F1 Score, and time complexity. This evaluation can discriminate the most suitable candidates for further optimization. The proposed approach is called the XCL approach that is based on Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), CatBoost (Categorical Boosting), and Light Gradient- Boosting Machine (LightGBM). It achieves high accuracy, lower false positive rate, and efficient time complexity. The results refer to the importance of ensemble strategies, algorithm selection, and hyperparameter optimization in enhancing the performance to detect the different intrusions across the IIoT datasets over the other models. The developed approach produced a higher accuracy of 99.99% on the WUSTL-IIOT-2021 dataset and 100% on the Edge-IIoTset dataset. Our experimental evaluations have been extended to the CIC-IDS-2017 dataset. These additional evaluations not only highlight the applicability of the XCL approach on a wide spectrum of intrusion detection scenarios but also confirm its scalability and effectiveness in real-world complex network environments.

The article presents a systematic investigation of the capabilities of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for modeling the propagation of acoustic waves. The study considers the problem of wave propagation from a point harmonic source in an unbounded domain, both in a quiescent medium (Mach number $M=0$) and in the presence of a uniform mean flow ($M=0.2$). Both scenarios admit analytical solutions within the framework of linear acoustics, allowing for a quantitative assessment of the accuracy of the numerical method.

The numerical implementation employs the two-dimensional D2Q9 velocity model and the Bhatnagar – Gross – Krook (BGK) collision operator. The oscillatory source is modeled using Gou’s scheme, while spurious high-order moment noise generated by the source is suppressed via a regularization procedure applied to the distribution functions. To minimize wave reflections from the boundaries of the computational domain, a hybrid approach is used, combining characteristic boundary conditions based on Riemann invariants with perfectly matched layers (PML) featuring a parabolic damping profile.

A detailed analysis is conducted to assess the influence of computational parameters on the accuracy of the method. The dependence of the error on the PML thickness ($L_{\text{PML}}^{}$) and the maximum damping coefficient ($\sigma_{\max}^{}$), the dimensionless source amplitude ($Q'_0$), and the grid resolution is thoroughly examined. The results demonstrate that the LBM is suitable for simulating acoustic wave propagation and exhibits second-order accuracy. It is shown that achieving high accuracy (relative pressure error below $1\,\%$) requires a spatial resolution of at least $20$ grid points per wavelength ($\lambda$). The minimal effective PML parameters ensuring negligible boundary reflections are identified as $\sigma_{\max}^{}\geqslant 0.02$ and $L_{\text{PML}}^{} \geqslant 2\lambda$. Additionally, it is shown that for source amplitudes $Q_0' \geqslant 0.1$, nonlinear effects become significant compared to other sources of error.

This paper presents an experimental study of the application of automatic annotation of text data in the question – answer format (QA pairs) under conditions of limited computing resources and data protection requirements. Unlike traditional approaches based on rigid rules or the use of external APIs, we propose using small language models with a small number of parameters that can function locally without a GPU on standard CPU systems. Two models were selected for testing — Gemma-3-4b and Qwen-2.5-3b (quantized 4-bit versions) — and a corpus of documents with a clear structure and a formally rigorous style of presentation was used as source material. An automatic annotation system was developed that implements the full cycle of QA dataset generation: automatic division of the source document into logically connected fragments, formation of “question – answer” pairs using the Gemma-3-4b model, preliminary verification of their correctness using Qwen-2.5-3b based on evidence span from the context and expert quality assessment. The results are exported in JSONL format. Performance evaluation covers the entire QA pair generation system, including fragment processing by the local language model, text preprocessing and postprocessing modules. Performance is measured by the time it takes to generate a single QA pair, the total throughput of the system, RAM usage, and CPU load, which allows for an objective assessment of the computational efficiency of the proposed approach when running on a CPU. An experiment on an extended sample of 12 documents showed that automatic annotation demonstrates stable performance when processing different types of documents, while manual annotation is characterized by significantly higher time costs and high variability. Depending on the type of document, the acceleration of annotation compared to the manual process ranges from 8 to 14 times. Quality analysis showed that most of the generated QA pairs have high semantic consistency with the original context, with only a limited proportion of data requiring expert correction or exception. Although full manual validation of the corpus (the “gold standard”) was not performed as part of this work, the combination of automatic evaluation and selective expert review allows us to consider the resulting quality level acceptable for preliminary automated annotation tasks. Overall, the results confirm the practical applicability of small language models for building autonomous and reproducible automatic text annotation systems under limited computational resources and provide a basis for further research in the field of effective training corpus preparation for natural language processing tasks.

For modeling and statistical analysis of data characterized by cyclicity (periodicity) in various areas of science are used circular or wrapped distribution models. The phase distribution function of a harmonic and phase-shift-keying signal in case additive white Gaussian noise is considered. Algorithms for modeling random phases sample of harmonic and modulated signals with specified parameters and correlation function are presented. Expressions for the phase distribution density of the phase-shift-keying signal are given. It is shown that the phase probability density function of the phase-shift-keying signal becomes multimodal. In addition, the probability density function under consideration is a periodic function, which means that the trigonometric Fourier basis can be used to decompose it into a series. In paper for the first time, analytical expressions for the coefficients of the Fourier series when decomposing the density under consideration into a harmonic basis are obtained, and the derivation of the corresponding expressions are presented. Examples of computer modeling and corresponding graphical materials of calculating Fourier coefficients of the phase probability density function for harmonic and phase-shift-keying signals are presented. A formula for the cumulative distribution function and its decomposition into a Fourier series are also obtained. Based on the representation of the phase probability density function in the form of a Fourier series, a comparison is made with other circular distributions often used in practical problems, the Mises distribution and the wrapped normal distribution. The results obtained in this work are of theoretical and practical interest for modeling and statistical analysis of signal phases in various applied problems in area radio engineering, digital communication, radar, etc. In particular, in the problems of estimating the signal-to-noise ratio, the bit error rate, as well as the reliability of demodulator solutions, i. e. soft demodulation of phase-shift-keying signals. Analytical expressions for the Fourier series coefficients can be used to estimate the empirical probability density function.

This paper presents a non-iterative method for solving an inverse problem for a parabolictype equation with an unknown time-dependent coefficient at the first spatial derivative. The overdetermination condition is specified as a definite integral of the unknown function with a weighting factor over the spatial domain or its subdomain. The study is motivated by the need to identify dynamic parameters in applied problems, particularly in modeling transport processes in biological fluids, where the flow velocity may vary over time. In contrast to conventional iterative methods that require substantial computational effort and careful selection of regularization parameters, an original approach based on solution decomposition is proposed. At each time layer, the solution is represented as a linear combination of solutions to two auxiliary systems with the same matrix and different right-hand sides, followed by the determination of the unknown coefficient from a discrete analogue of the overdetermination condition. This approach eliminates the need for an iterative procedure. In the presence of inexact overdetermination data, the highest reconstruction accuracy is achieved using a quasi-solution. Numerical experiments on test problems demonstrate high accuracy in reconstructing the unknown functions under small perturbations of the overdetermination condition. The results indicate strong potential for applications in medical diagnostics and other fields requiring rapid processing of experimental data.

Initial function localized around a point is shown to transform in a function localized around a ring with symmetrically sited local maxima. The ring radius and number of maxima depend on convection.
