Today’s technological improvements have made ubiquitous healthcare systems that converge into smart healthcare applications in order to solve patients’ problems, to communicate effectively with patients, and to improve healthcare service quality. The...
This study develops a hybrid triple glazing technology that combines vacuum and carbon dioxide (CO2) gaps to help store CO2 in buildings. We determine the optimal thickness of glazing and calculate its thermal transmission (U-value). The amount of en...
This paper presents a design of a high performance and low power consumption triple-track magnetic sensor chip which was fabricated in TSMC 0.35 μm CMOS process. This chip is able to simultaneously sense, decode and read out the information stored in...
In the last decade, the volume of semantic data has increased exponentially, with the number of Resource Description Framework (RDF) datasets exceeding trillions of triples in RDF repositories. Hence, the size of RDF datasets continues to grow. Howev...
The accessibility of devices that track the positions of moving objects has attracted many researchers in Mobility Online Analytical Processing (Mobility OLAP). Mobility OLAP makes use of trajectory data warehousing techniques, which typically includ...
Existing SPARQL query engines and triple stores are continuously improved to handle more massive datasets. Several approaches have been developed in this context proposing the storage and querying of RDF data in a distributed fashion, mainly using th...
Leukoreduction (LR) is a technique that consists of reducing the number of leukocytes in whole blood or blood components that can contribute to decreasing storage lesions and the occurrence of post-transfusion complications. We propose that using a b...
Memory used for storing the configuration bitstream of field programmable gate array in space applications often encounters single event upset problems, which may disrupt the integrity of data in memory and lead to unpredictable failures. For commerc...
This study investigates the efficiency of a biogas-powered cooling system through the utilization of energy and exergy calculations. Biogas, which can be generated and stored in small-scale plants as needed, serves as a viable fuel source for absorpt...
Every second, millions of data are being generated due to the use of emerging technologies. It is very challenging to store and handle such a large amount of data. Data deduplication is a solution for this problem. It is a new technique that eliminat...
Food shortages due to the decreasing arable land area, which is a consequence of the increasing global population, have brought greater attention to greenhouses. However, the cost of air conditioning in greenhouses is high. Therefore, in this study,...
Question-answering systems based on knowledge graphs are extremely challenging tasks in the field of natural language processing. Most of the existing Chinese Knowledge Base Question Answering(KBQA) can only return the knowledge stored in the knowled...
k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), which is known to be a simple and efficient approach, is a non-parametric supervised classifier. It aims to determine the class label of an unknown sample by its k-nearest neighbors that are stored in a training set. The k...
Large-scale tanks are widely used for storing chemicals and fuels. Their failure due to natural (e.g., earthquakes) and/or man-made hazards can lead to disastrous consequences. Nonetheless, they are often constructed in seismic-prone regions. For thi...
Drug abuse is becoming increasingly dangerous nowadays. Morphine (MOP), methamphetamine (MET) and ketamine (KET) are the most commonly abused drugs. The abuse of these drugs without supervision can cause serious harm to the human body and also endang...
The increasing energy demand encourages the use of photovoltaic solar systems coupled to organic rankine cycle (ORC) systems. This paper presents a model of an ORC system coupled with a concentrating photovoltaic and thermal (CPV/T) system. The CPV/T...
To achieve net-zero objectives, the expansion of renewable energy sources is anticipated to be accompanied by an increased use of carbon-free fuels, such as hydrogen. Internationally, there are proposals for transporting hydrogen by synthesizing it i...
Semantic interoperability for the Internet of Things (IoT) is enabled by standards and technologies from the Semantic Web. As recent research suggests a move towards decentralised IoT architectures, we have investigated the scalability and robustness...
