Penghu Islands (Pescadores), Taiwan's outlying islands surrounded by the sea, boast rich fishing resources that attract many anglers. However, successful fishing requires more than just gear: it involves understanding the varying fish species available in different locations, times, and climates, as well as adhering to relevant laws and regulations. To address these needs, this paper proposes an environmentally friendly fishing Android-based mobile device App specifically for the Penghu Islands. The proposed Android-based mobile device App aims to gather essential information, including local fishing regulations, aquatic safety tips, and important precautions. Its goal is to equip fishermen with the resources necessary to fish successfully and with peace of mind.

This paper presents the use of a waveguide filter with ridge resonators that exhibits transmission zeros to implement a dielectric permittivity sensor. Thanks to its geometry, the electric field is intense under the ridge resonators, where the dielectric slab to be characterized is located. The operation principle is based on the evaluation of the frequency shift of transmission zeros, and exhibits high sensitivity and tolerance to vertical positioning errors. The designed sensor operates around the frequency of 10 GHz. The manufacturing process is based on the 3D printing with plastic material and the subsequent metallization. A set of commercial dielectric laminates have been adopted to validate the performance of the sensor.

Deep learning (DL) methods have revolutionized image segmentation by providing tools to automatically identify structures within images, with high levels of accuracy. In particular, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), such as the U-Net and its variants, have achieved remarkable results in many segmentation tasks. Only recently, Vision Transformer (ViT)-based models have emerged and in some cases demonstrated to outperform CNNs in semantic segmentation tasks. However, transformers typically require larger amounts of data for training as compared to CNNs. This can result in a significant drawback given the time-consuming nature of collecting and annotating data, especially in a clinical setting. In particular, only a few studies involved the application of ViT networks for ultrasound image *** this study, we propose one of the earliest applications of ViT-based architectures for segmenting the left heart chambers in 2D echocardiographic images. Indeed, the identification of cardiac structures, like e.g. heart chambers, can be used to derive relevant quantitative parameters, such as atrial and ventricular volumes, the ejection fraction, *** trained and tested several ViT models using the publicly available CAMUS dataset, composed by cardiac image sequences from 500 patients, with the corresponding mask labels of the left ventricle and left atrium. ViT networks performances were then compared to an implementation of the U-Net. We demonstrate how, on this type of data, recent ViT variants can reach and even outperform CNNs, despite the limited data availability.

This paper proposes a $1^{\text{st}}$-order, error feedback (EF), sampling-rate $(fs)$ reconfigurable Noise-Shaping Successive-Approximation-Register (NS-SAR) Analog-to-Digital-Converter (ADC) for multi-channel CMOS front-end ASICs for X-rays detectors in space applications. The core of the design is an 8-bits Asynchronous-SAR (ASAR) ADC, equipped with a unique variable rising-edge only delay-cell, which generates all required clock signals internally using a single external low duty-cycle sampling signal. The EF NS function has been achieved by introducing a $1^{\text{st}}$-order Finite-Impulse-Response (FIR) loop filter with a duty-cycled OP-AMP. Designed in a $0.35\mu\mathrm{m}$ CMOS process at $3.3\mathrm{~V}$ supply voltage, the proposed NS-SAR ADC achieves an ENOB of ${\bf 1 1. 8}$ bits and a peak SNDR of $72\mathrm{~dB}$ at a typical $fs$ of 40 kHz with an Oversampling-Ratio (OSR) of 8 in schematic-level simulations, consuming an average power of $37\mu\mathrm{W}$. The sampling frequency of the NS-SAR ADC is reconfigurable together with the power consumption while maintaining the same performance. For a fair comparison of the proposed high input signal swing ($2\mathrm{~V}$) ADC at 3.3 V supply with low input signal swing ADCs at lower supply, normalized versions (FoM WN , FoM SN ) of FoM W and $FoM_{S}$ have been proposed. The $ADC$ achieves its best $FoM_{WN}$ of $115.34\mathrm{fJ}/\mathrm{C}$-step and $FoM_{SN}$ of $186.31\mathrm{~dB}$ at its $\operatorname{maximum}f_{S}(178\mathrm{kHz})$ at an OSR of 8.

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a lifesaving treatment for a large number of patients suffering from different pathologies, from cancer to intestinal failure, from eating disorders to inflammatory bowel disease. In PN, liquid nutritive drugs are injected into the patient's body intravenously through an infusion delivery pump. As reported in the scientific literature, among all medical treatments, PN is the most commonly prone one to human errors [1]. In particular, very often wrong PN mixtures (PNMs) are administered. The consequences can be very dangerous to the patient's health, leading to death in the most severe cases. Despite this fact, currently no standard safety protocols or control devices are implemented to prevent medication errors in PN. Hence, in the framework of the DSF (Digital Smart Fluidics - project No. 1175234, founded by POR FESR 2014–2020), we have developed an optofluidic sensing platform to distinguish different types of transparent commercial PNMs on the basis of their refractive index (RI). Indeed, each mixture contains different concentrations of glucose, amino acids, and electrolytes, determining different values of their RI. The instrumental configuration of the sensor (Fig 1(a)) features a laser diode that generates a red beam (wavelength of 670 nm) travelling obliquely through a plastic cuvette channel containing the PNM under test. Light is then back-reflected by a mirror applied to the back of the cuvette, and finally exits the channel at a position that depends on the RI of the PNM. The position of the output light spot is easily detected with a linear position sensitive detector (PSD) [2]. The two photo-currents $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ generated at the extremities of the sensitive area are given as the PSD outputs: by proper normalization, it is possible to retrieve the measured light beam position as $p_{PSD}=L/2\times(I_{1}-I_{2})/(I_{1}+I_{2})$ , where $L$ is the PSD length. The sensor response is then retrieved, after defining t
