    Satellite communication systems experience significant signal degradation during rain events, a phenomenon that can be leveraged for meteorological applications. This study introduces a novel hybrid machine learning framework combining unsupervised clustering with cluster-specific supervised deep learning models to transform satellite signal attenuation into a predictive tool for rainfall prediction. Unlike conventional single-model approaches treating all atmospheric conditions uniformly, our methodology employs K-Means Clustering with the Elbow Method to identify four distinct atmospheric regimes based on Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) patterns from a 12-m Ku-band satellite ground station at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), Bangkok, Thailand, combined with absolute pressure and hourly rainfall measurements. The dataset comprises 98,483 observations collected with 30-s temporal resolutions, providing comprehensive coverage of diverse tropical atmospheric conditions. The experimental platform integrates three subsystems: a receiver chain featuring a Low-Noise Block (LNB) converter and Software-Defined Radio (SDR) platform for real-time data acquisition; a control system with two-axis motorized pointing incorporating dual-encoder feedback; and a preprocessing workflow implementing data cleaning, K-Means Clustering (k = 4), Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique (SMOTE) for balanced representation, and standardization. Specialized Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks trained for each identified cluster enable capture of regime-specific temporal dynamics. Experimental validation demonstrates substantial performance improvements, with cluster-specific LSTM models achieving R<sup>2</sup> values exceeding 0.92 across all atmospheric regimes. Comparative analysis confirms LSTM superiority over RNN and GRU. Classification performance evaluation reveals exceptional detection capabilities with Probability of Detection ranging from 0.75 to 0.99 and False Alarm Ratios below 0.23. This work presents a scalable approach to weather radar systems for tropical regions with limited ground-based infrastructure, particularly during rapid meteorological transitions characteristic of tropical climates.

    The proliferation of terrestrial and space-based communication systems introduces significant radio frequency interference (RFI), which severely compromises data acquisition for radio telescopes, necessitating robust and dynamic scheduling solutions. This study addresses this challenge by implementing a Deep Recurrent Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework for the control and dynamic scheduling of the X-Y pedestal-mounted KMITL radio telescope, explicitly trained for RFI avoidance. The methodology involved developing a custom simulation environment with a domain-specific Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) feature extractor and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to model temporal dynamics and long-horizon planning. Comparative evaluation demonstrated that the recurrent DRL agent achieved a mean effective survey coverage of 475 deg<sup>2</sup>/h, representing a 72.7% superiority over the non-recurrent baseline, and maintained exceptional stability with only 1.0% degradation in median coverage during real-world deployment. The DRL framework offers a highly reliable and adaptive solution for telescope scheduling that is capable of maintaining survey efficiency while proactively managing dynamic RFI sources.

    4-Dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) is the most common technique to determine organ movement due to breathing motion. However, the ability of 4DCT to acquire CT images as a function of the respiratory phase increases higher radiation dose. To reduce the patient's radiation dose, this study created lung motion prediction models used to estimate tumor target movement in ten respiratory phases by detecting only external organ movement during a complete respiration cycle without radiation with Kinect. The average overall amplitude difference between RPM and Kinect signals in the phantom experiment was 0.02 ± 0.1 mm. F1 score of 100% for all most all classifications except classification 2,3,6,7 and 8 of 85%,83%,90%, 84%,85% where irregular breathing pattern. Essentially, the proposed tumor movement scheme's total accuracy (average of F1 scores) is 92.7 %. Deep learning model can predict tumor motion range and classification zone by used detection of the external respiratory signal
