Phishing email attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, placing a heavy burden on cybersecurity, which requires more advanced detection techniques. Attackers often craft emails that closely resemble those from trusted sources, making it difficult for users and traditional filters to distinguish between legitimate and malicious messages. This paper introduces a new hybrid deep learning and optimizer architecture for detecting phishing emails based on the Mountain Gazelle Optimizer (MGO). A hybrid architecture is proposed, comprising contextual embedding using Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), feature extraction with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) temporal dependencies, and multi-head attention for refining the key feature focus in email text. The dataset used in this paper for phishing detection is obtained from the Kaggle website, which includes phishing and legitimate emails. Hyperparameter optimization with the MGO results in a robust model with good classification accuracy. Our experiments demonstrate improved accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, with values of 96.8%, 97.2%, 95.4%, and 96.3%, respectively, for enhanced phishing email detection compared to baseline models. Also, the model reduces false positives by 2.5% compared to state-of-the-art conventional methods. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of transformer-based embeddings, combined with advanced neural networks and optimization techniques, in mitigating phishing threats.

The high mobility and dynamic nature of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) pose significant challenges to clustering and routing in flying ad hoc networks (FANETs). Traditional methods often fail to achieve stable networks with efficient resource utilization and low latency. To address these issues, we propose a hybrid bio-inspired algorithm, HMAO, combining the mountain gazelle optimizer (MGO) and the aquila optimizer (AO). HMAO improves cluster stability and enhances data delivery reliability in FANETs. The algorithm uses MGO for efficient cluster head (CH) selection, considering UAV energy levels, mobility patterns, intra-cluster distance, and one-hop neighbor density, thereby reducing re-clustering frequency and ensuring coordinated operations. For cluster maintenance, a congestion-based approach redistributes UAVs in overloaded or imbalanced clusters. The AO-based routing algorithm ensures reliable data transmission from CHs to the base station by leveraging predictive mobility data, load balancing, fault tolerance, and global insights from ferry nodes. According to the simulations conducted on the network simulator (NS-3.35), the HMAO technique exhibits improved cluster stability, packet delivery ratio, low delay, overhead, and reduced energy consumption compared to the existing methods.

In recent times, there has been notable progress in control systems across various industrial domains, necessitating effective management of dynamic systems for optimal functionality. A crucial research focus has emerged in optimizing control parameters to augment controller performance. Among the plethora of optimization algorithms, the mountain gazelle optimizer (MGO) stands out for its capacity to emulate the agile movements and behavioral strategies observed in mountain gazelles. This paper introduces a novel approach employing MGO to optimize control parameters in both a DC motor and three-tank liquid level systems. The fine-tuning of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller parameters using MGO achieves remarkable results, including a rise time of 0.0478 s, zero overshoot, and a settling time of 0.0841 s for the DC motor system. Similarly, the liquid level system demonstrates improved control with a rise time of 11.0424 s and a settling time of 60.6037 s. Comparative assessments with competitive algorithms, such as the grey wolf optimizer and particle swarm optimization, reveal MGO’s superior performance. Furthermore, a new performance indicator, ZLG, is introduced to comprehensively evaluate control quality. The MGO-based approach consistently achieves lower ZLG values, showcasing its adaptability and robustness in dynamic system control and parameter optimization. By providing a dependable and efficient optimization methodology, this research contributes to advancing control systems, promoting stability, and enhancing efficiency across diverse industrial applications.

The Mountain Gazelle Optimizer (MGO) is a newly emerging nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm based on mountain gazelles' regionally and adaptively directed behavior.

A recently established swarm-based algorithm, namely, Mountain Gazelle Optimizer (MGO) which draws inspiration from social structure and hierarchy of wild mountain gazelles is competitive for solving optimization problems. However, the MGO has some drawbacks: when dealing with higher dimensions, early iterations could become stuck in suboptimal search area. It would be difficult for the MGO to abandon the local optimal solution if the early best solutions neglect the relevant search space. Therefore, to overcome these limitations, this paper offers an Evolved Opposition-based Learning (EOBL) mechanism which helps the algorithm to jump out of the local optima while accelerating the convergence speed. This novel mechanism is incorporating with MGO to propose Evolved Opposition-based Mountain Gazelle Optimizer (EOBMGO). The experiments are conducted with CEC2005 and CEC2019 benchmark functions, along with seven engineering challenges to examine the performance of the proposed EOBMGO. Furthermore, the statistical tests, like the t-test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test, are verified and demonstrate that the proposed EOBMGO outperforms the existing top-performing algorithms. The outcomes indicated that the proposed technique may be seen as an efficient and successful approach for complex optimization challenges.

The main objective of this research study is to improve the performance of a standalone hybrid power system (SHPS) that consists of photovoltaic modules (PVMs), wind turbines (WTs), battery system (BS), and diesel engine (DE). The emphasis is on optimizing the system's design by incorporating demand response strategies (DRSs). Incorporating these strategies into the system can enhance system performance, stability, and profitability while also reducing the capacity of SHPS components and, consequently, lowering consumers' bills. To achieve this objective, the sizing model incorporates a novel indicator called the load variation factor (LVF). This paper assesses and contrasts various scenarios, including SHPS without DRS, with DRS, and with DRS but no DE. In this article, interruptible/curtailable (I/C) as one of the DRSs is incorporated into the model used for sizing issues. A newly developed optimization algorithm called the mountain gazelle optimizer (MGO) is utilized for the multi-objective design of the proposed SHPS. The utilization of MGO will facilitate achieving the lowest possible values for each of the following: cost of energy (COE), loss of power supply probability (LPSP), and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. This work introduces a mathematical model for the entire system, which is subsequently simulated using MATLAB software. The results reveal that among all the scenarios analysed, scenario iii — which has an LVF of 30% — is the most cost-effective. It has the lowest COE, at 0.2334 $/kWh, hence the lowest net present cost (NPC), at 6,836,445.5 $.

Sustainable agriculture is an approach that involves adopting and developing agricultural practices to increase efficiency and preserve resources, both environmentally and economically. Jute is one of the primary sources of income grown in many countries. At this stage, increasing efficiency in jute production and protecting it from pests is essential. Detecting jute pests at an early stage will not only improve crop yield but also provide more income. In this paper, an artificial intelligence-based model was suggested to detect jute pests at an early stage. In this developed model, two different pre-trained models were used for feature extraction. To improve the performance of the developed model, the features obtained using the DarkNet-53 and DenseNet-201 models were combined. After this stage, the metaheuristic Mountain Gazelle Optimizer (MGO) was used, allowing the developed model to work faster and achieve more successful results. Feature selection was carried out using MGO; thus, more successful results were obtained with fewer, more compelling features. The proposed model was compared with six different models and five different classifiers accepted in the literature. In the developed model, 17 different jute pests were detected with 96.779% accuracy. The accuracy value achieved in the developed model is promising in successfully detecting jute pests.

It is absolutely necessary to extract the photovoltaic (PV) model parameters to anticipate the energy production of PV systems accurately. In the literature, many studies have analyzed and discussed various strategies for handling the parameter computation of the PV model. However, very few studies have been conducted to formulate the fitness function, and no studies have been presented on the methodologies to solve the nonlinear, multivariable, and complicated PV models based on empirical data. As a result, the key objective is to investigate the traditional methods for solving the equations of PV models. An improved variant of the Mountain Gazelle Optimizer (MGO) called Augmented Mountain Gazelle Optimizer (AMGO IB3H ) is proposed to guarantee MGO convergence based on an improved Berndt-Hall-Hall-Hausman method. This AMGO IB3H highlights key advancements in the literature regarding improving the exploration and exploitation phases of MGO and the design of objective functions. Finally, a hybrid method has been established for effectively identifying unknown parameters of the three-diode PV model. This method uses actual measured laboratory data gathered under various environmental conditions. The simulation results show that the AMGO IB3H reduces errors to zero under various statistical standards and environmental variables. In addition, the AMGO IB3H outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithm in the research literature regarding reliability, accuracy, and convergence rate with a reasonable processing time.

Ensuring stable frequency regulation in islanded airport microgrids is a challenging task owing to the intermittency of renewable energy sources, unpredictable load variations, and nonlinear dynamics. Conventional optimization techniques often struggle with premature convergence and sub-optimal controller tuning, leading to a poor transient response and inadequate frequency stabilization. These challenges necessitate an advanced optimization strategy that can efficiently handle dynamic airport environments while ensuring enhanced frequency stability. To address these issues, this study proposes a Chaotic Chimp Mountain Gazelle Optimizer (CCMGO) algorithm. The CCMGO algorithm integrates the exploration capabilities of the Chimp Optimization Algorithm (ChOA) with the fast convergence of the Mountain Gazelle Optimizer (MGO), which is further enhanced by chaotic mapping to improve search diversity and avoid local optima. The effectiveness of the proposed CCMGO optimized dynamic controller was evaluated under various load perturbation scenarios, including impulse, step-ramp, and stochastic disturbances. The system considered here is a multi-source airport model integrating wave, wind, solar, biogas turbines, battery energy storage systems, ultra-capacitors, and electric vehicles. Simulation results demonstrates that the CCMGO optimized fractional order proportional-integral-derivative controller exhibits better performances compared to the conventional genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization based controllers, as well as contemporary metaheuristic algorithms like grey wolf optimizer and whale optimization algorithm. The proposed methodology achieves notable reductions in frequency deviation, shorter settling time, and enhanced transient response characteristics.
