Falls are the public health issue for the elderly all over the world since the fall-induced injuries are associated with a large amount of healthcare cost. Falls can cause serious injuries, even leading to death if the elderly suffers a “long-lie.” Hence, a reliable fall detection (FD) system is required to provide an emergency alarm for first aid. Due to the advances in wearable device technology and artificial intelligence, some fall detection systems have been developed using machine learning and deep learning methods to analyze the signal collected from accelerometer and gyroscopes. In order to achieve better fall detection performance, an ensemble model that combines a coarse-fine convolutional neural network and gated recurrent unit is proposed in this study. The parallel structure design used in this model restores the different grains of spatial characteristics and capture temporal dependencies for feature representation. This study applies the FallAllD public dataset to validate the reliability of the proposed model, which achieves a recall, precision, and F-score of 92.54%, 96.13%, and 94.26%, respectively. The results demonstrate the reliability of the proposed ensemble model in discriminating falls from daily living activities and its superior performance compared to the state-of-the-art convolutional neural network long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) for FD.

This study quantifies the operational carbon footprint of the Renault Kwid E-Tech (electric vehicle) and Renault Kwid Intense flex (gasoline and ethanol internal combustion engine vehicle) under a Well-to-Wheel approach within the Brazilian context. With a functional unit of 100,000 km, this analysis evaluates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with fuel consumption and considers different electric mixes across Brazilian regions, along with the periodic maintenance of each vehicle type. The results reveal significant environmental benefits in regions such as the Northeast, where renewable energy sources predominate, reducing the carbon footprint of the electric model, with a carbon footprint of 0.071 kg CO 2 -eq/kWh. By contrast, the higher carbon intensity of the South’s electricity mix reliant on coal, with a carbon footprint of 0.281 kg CO 2 -eq/kWh, presents limitations in achieving emissions reductions with electric vehicles. Ethanol, a renewable biofuel in the Brazilian market, demonstrated a 46 % reduction in GHG emissions compared to gasoline. This study contributes to the sustainable mobility discourse, highlighting the critical role of regional energy sources, fuel choices, and sustainable production practices in emissions outcome. These insights support the development of policies encouraging cleaner energy matrices and biofuel use, contributing to Brazil's emissions reduction goals.

In the presented work an innovative method of measurement of oil contamination in water based on image processing is discussed. The proposed approach of oil contamination measurement is inexpensive and does not require physical contact of the sensor with the water to be tested. A Micro-Electro-mechanical-Sensors (MEMS) based camera is used for taking the water surface image to calculate the oil contamination by comparison of oil surface area to that of the total water surface area. Canny edge detection algorithm along with one of the morphological operations, namely closing operation is used for the measurement. Study reveals that the proposed method can detect the oil contamination within 0.5% of the total water surface area.

The present work is to study the effect of adding nanoparticles to aluminum alloy on mechanical properties. The AA5052 was using as based material with constant weight percentage 7%wt. of different nanoparticles such as alumina (Al2O3), titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zirconia (ZrO2) with an average grain diameter 25-35 nm. The stir-casting method has been successfully used to fabricate composite specimens. The results of this study showed that the mechanical properties strength and hardness for the AA5052 reinforced with nanoparticle Al2O3, TiO2 or ZrO2 with 7% weight percentage was improved. The best percentage improvement of mechanical properties of AA5052 was with 7% wt. of ZrO2 about 54% for ultimate tensile stress UTS, 33.8% for yield stress YS and 20.5% for V. hardness than the based material AA5052, well for other adding of titanium dioxide TiO2 and alumina Al2O3 with the same weight percentage 7% the improvement were 35.8% and 13% for ultimate tensile stress UTS, 15.4% and 6.3% for yield stress YS and 10% and 5.8% for V. hardness respectively.
