By using computer-aided arrhythmia diagnosis tools, electrocardiogram (ECG) signal plays a vital role in lowering the fatality rate associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and providing information about the patient’s cardiac health to t...
The topic of safety in chemistry laboratories in schools is crucial, as severe accidents in labs occur worldwide, primarily due to poorly trained individuals and improper behavior. One reason for this could be that the topic is often dry and boring f...
In this paper, an adaptive path construction approach for Mobile Sink (MS) in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for data gathering has been proposed. The path is constructed based on selecting Rendezvous Points (RPs) in the sensing field where the MS s...
This paper describes a real case implementation of an automatic pedestrian-detection solution, implemented in the city of Aveiro, Portugal, using affordable LiDAR technology and open, publicly available, pedestrian-detection frameworks based on machi...
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems are enhancing the delivery of services and boosting productivity in a wide array of industries, from manufacturing to healthcare. However, IIoT devices are susceptible to cyber-threats such as the leaking...
The widespread use of technology has made communication technology an indispensable part of daily life. However, the present cloud infrastructure is insufficient to meet the industry’s growing demands, and multi-access edge computing (MEC) has...
Next-generation networks are expected to handle a wide variety of internet of everything (IoE) services, notably including virtual reality (VR) for smart industrial-oriented applications. VR for industrial environments subtends strict quality of serv...
Healthy and sufficient crop and food production are very much essential for everyone as the population is increasing globally. The production of crops affects the economy of a country to a great extent. In agriculture, observing the soil, weather, an...
Currently, with the rapid development of deep learning, deep neural networks (DNNs) have been widely applied in various computer vision tasks. However, in the pursuit of performance, advanced DNN models have become more complex, which has led to a la...
IPS is a crucial technology that enables medical staff and hospital management to accurately locate and track persons or assets inside medical buildings. Among other technologies, readily available BLE can be exploited to achieve an energy-efficient...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a serious movement disorder that may eventually progress to mild cognitive dysfunction (MCI) and dementia. According to the Parkinson’s foundation, one million Americans were diagnosed with PD and almost 10 mil...
Background: This study presents a graph-based, macro-scale, polarity-based, echo chamber detection approach for Twitter. Echo chambers are a concern as they can spread misinformation, and reinforce harmful stereotypes and biases in social networks. M...
Technology-based in-home reading and spelling programs have the potential to compensate for the lack of sufficient instructions provided at schools. However, the recent COVID-19 pandemic showed the immaturity of the existing remote teaching solutions...
(1) Background: Augmented reality is no less popular than virtual reality. This technology has begun to be used in education fields, one of which is special education. Merging the real and virtual worlds is the advantage of augmented reality. However...
COVID-19 has raised the issue of fighting epidemics. We were able to realize that in this fight, countering the spread of the disease was the main goal and we propose to contribute to it. To achieve this, we propose an enriched model of Random Forest...
Academic discourse communities and learning circles are characterized by collaboration, sharing commonalities in terms of social interactions and language. The discourse of these communities is composed of jargon, common terminologies, and similariti...
The GAME2AWE platform aims to provide a versatile tool for elderly fall prevention through exergames that integrate exercises, and simulate real-world environments and situations to train balance and reaction time using augmented and virtual reality...
According to a study by the German Federal Printing Office (2022), every European lives with 90 digital identities on average, and the trend is rising. The German government has launched the innovation competition “Digital Identities Showcase&r...
The aim of this research is to discuss the groundwork of building an Islamic Banking Document Screening Prototype based on a serverless architecture framework. This research first forms an algorithm for document matching based Vector Space Model (VCM...
The trend of E-commerce and online shopping is increasing rapidly. However, it is difficult to know about the quality of items from pictures and videos available on the online stores. Therefore, online stores and independent products reviews sites sh...
Persona is a method to create a user profile by describing a fictitious user through user experience. This persona study needs to be carried out for the benefit of system design according to the users’ wishes because, so far, electronic resourc...
Currently, the primary concerns on the Internet are security and privacy, particularly in encrypted communications to prevent snooping and modification of Domain Name System (DNS) data by hackers who may attack using the HTTP protocol to gain illegal...
