In an aging society, the rate of dementia would be dramatically increased. It is urgent to provide intelligent facilitative devices and appropriate medical care for those who with dementia symptoms, especially for the elders. Accordingly, the primary research target of this study is to automatically detect and monitor behavior of the elderly suffered from dementia. Although previous research has been conducted to identify various human movement patterns, the experimental data were all received from cameras. Furthermore, these related applications are not specifically designed to identify the behavior of the elderly with dementia. In order to improve previous research methods, our study adopted wearable multi-axis sensors to collect corresponding motion data with protected privacy. In addition to collecting raw data containing time series signals, frequency and spatial domain features were applied to detect human behaviors, and Random Forest algorithm was applied to construct a motion prediction model. The classification system for real-time motion recognition contained two main actions of users including holding/putting hand gestures and walking model. Finally, an additional camera on the chest was designed to be triggered and to take a shot according to previous settings. It could enhance practical applicability of the proposed intelligent system to assist the elderly with dementia to find her/his lost objects. This study developed an app for recording individual behaviors, checking the location and time of lost objects, and even recording activity information to provide healthcare professionals with decision-making suggestions for subsequent precision medical care.

Wound healing is a morphogenetic reaction to injury that restores physiological and anatomical function. It is crucial in fields like obesity treatment, cancer, trauma, burns, and diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) care. Wound care experts rely on affordable, high-resolution cell phone cameras for image documentation; however, lack of information can hinder proper wound management, documentation, and diagnosis, highlighting the need for improved therapeutic techniques and better automated image segmentation methods. Recent deep learning approaches for automatic feature extraction from images face challenges due to limited training data and low neural networks dept.s, which hinder accuracy by failing to capture complex patterns. This research introduces an improved MobileNetV2 model which utilized transfer learning, two additional dense layers, and fusion with spatial attention mechanism to improve the accuracy of the wound segmentation task. The proposed approach achieved a dice score of 92.40% on the Foot Ulcer Dataset and 96.92% on the Medetec Wound Dataset. In comparison to existing state-of- the-art deep learning-based VGG16, SegNet, U-Net, and MobileNetV2+CCL techniques, the proposed attention-based MobileNetV2 technique obtained the highest dice score.

Internet addiction is becoming one of the critical issues among teenagers and young university students. This habit not only negatively impacts the student’s learning performance, but also affects the student’s physical and mental health. This paper is focusing on designing a Machine Learning (ML) model for accurately identifying internet addiction. The model incorporates data preprocessing and feature selection techniques for reducing the computational complexity. Next, five different ML algorithms have been implemented and compared to identify appropriate ML algorithms. The identified ML model has been trained using the behavioral features of the students for predicting internet addiction. The experiments have been carried out and the performance of the models has been measured. The results demonstrate that a random forest classifier provides 83% accurate detection for university students and 96% accurate results are provided by an SVM-based classifier for teenager internet addiction detection. Therefore, by using the entire observation of experiments it is found that the proposed model can successfully identify internet addiction in students by analyzing the student's behavioral features.

This paper discusses the optimization effects of a transmitarray on a direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation using the transmitarray and a single receiving antenna. The transmitarray consists of 1-bit elements with 0° and 180° transmission phases. The transmission phase distribution was optimized using a genetic algorithm and compared to a random distribution. The optimized transmitarray achieves a DOA estimation accuracy comparable to that of a conventional system using a 3-element linear array antenna. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the optimized system exhibits a decreasing trend as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) increases. Notably, at an SNR of 20 dB, the RMSE is 20° lower than that of the 3-element linear array antenna.

Medical images are crucial for early diagnosis and are increasingly important in modern medicine. This study presents a medical image retrieval system using a Siamese neural network with 13 layers. The system uses the Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) technique to extract deep features from the Siamese, and then uses binary hashing to retrieve similar images using Hamming distance. The experimental results on Covid-19 dataset show that the proposed method improves lung image retrieval by over 6% compared to previous methods, achieving an average accuracy of 93.83% and 92.73% in 5 and 10 retrieved images, respectively.

The robot operating system (ROS) standard has been extended with different communication mechanisms to address real-time and scalability requirements. On the other hand, containerization and orchestration platforms like Docker and Kubernetes are increasingly being adopted to strengthen platform-independent development and automatic software deployment. In this paper, we quantitatively analyze the impact of topology, containerization, and edge-cloud distribution of ROS nodes on the efficiency of the ROS2 communication protocols. We then present a framework that automatically binds the most efficient ROS protocol for each node-to-node communication by considering the architectural characteristics of both software and edge-cloud computing platforms. The framework is available at https://***/PARCO-LAB/ros4k.

The smart helmet's characteristics are meant to identify and report whether or not a wearer has consumed alcohol while donning a helmet. Road accidents are increasing as a result of riders drinking alcohol and not wearing helmets. In the modern world, thousands of people lose their lives in auto accidents each year. Wearing a smart helmet can typically lower the number of accidents. The primary objective of this research study is to create a wearable helmet that can both detect alcohol and prevent accidents without the need for a helmet. Whether the user is wearing a helmet is determined by the limit switch. The rider's breath is tested by the Gas sensor to determine whether alcohol is present. If the rider has ingested alcohol or is not wearing a helmet, the bike will not start. Only when a helmet is on and there are no indications of intoxication can the bike be started. System construction is done by sensor actions.
