Remote monitoring of human vital signs using Radar concepts has attracted considerable attention lately. However, the proposed methods thus far are susceptible to background clutter and random body motion which impact their utility. This paper demonstrates the application of the modulated scattering technique in remote monitoring of human breathing rate. A scatterer used as the breathing rate monitoring tag was built and modulated in order to have two different states. The states are then subtracted from each other to get an accurate measurement of the breathing rate by eliminating as much random body movement and clutter information as possible.

In times of severe earthquakes and floods, rapid and effective aid is crucial. Traditional methods often face challenges due to accessibility issues and the vast scale of *** proposed Autonomous Aerial Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (A2-HADR) System aims to transform disaster response through the use of drone technology. The proposed solution addresses the obstacles in rescue operations by employing drones equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to provide immediate support. The advanced system utilizes state-of-the-art computer Vision technology to autonomously detect people and obstacles from heights of 50-100 meters at various angles and deliver essential supplies like food, clothing, and rescue gear to those in need. We have executed and assessed a range of advanced object detection algorithms, such as YOLOv8, YOLOv9, and Detectron2. After thorough evaluation, Detectron2 emerged as the most effective model among those tested, showcasing exceptional accuracy and resilience.

Power quality issues, including voltage sags, swells, harmonic distortion, oscillatory voltage transients, etc. can degrade equipment performance, leading to inefficiencies and costly disruptions. Studying these issues and introducing solutions are essential for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of modern distribution systems. This paper examines and contrasts the benefits of a bidirectional three-stage solid-state transformer (SST) in mitigating power quality issues to traditional transformers. SST introduces reactive power support to improve the system quality by controlling active and reactive power. This paper investigates key power quality issues-voltage sag, swell, harmonic distortion, and oscillatory transients-arising from capacitor bank energizing, focusing on the novel application of solid-state transformers (SSTs) in mitigating these effects. Additionally, it examines SST-based fault isolation across various fault types (three-phase, double line-to-ground, and line-to-ground). Several simulations have been performed using the MATLAB/Simulink platform to highlight the benefits of the Solid-State Transformer (SST) over conventional transformers and cascade multiple-active-bridge SST (CMABSST) types. The proposed SST employs active and reactive power control to alleviate these effects, allowing the SST controller to manage reactive power effectively and provide the required support that makes the system stable and reliable.

Electricity price forecasting is an important tool for market participants to design bidding strategies in the electricity market. This paper introduces a combined neural network (c-NN) model that integrates Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, CNN-GRU hybrids, and Transformer models to address the volatility and nonlinear patterns of electricity prices. Our evaluation uses historical data from ERCOT Hub North prices to demonstrate that this integrated approach significantly outperforms individual models in accuracy. The findings suggest substantial financial benefits and support for renewable energy transitions, offering valuable insights for energy traders, grid operators, and policy makers. This research underscores the potential of combining machine learning (ML) models to enhance energy market analytics.

Modern scientific applications are increasingly decomposable into individual functions that may be deployed across distributed and diverse cyberinfrastructure such as supercomputers, clouds, and accelerators. Such applications call for new approaches to programming, distributed execution, and function-level management. We present UniFaaS, a parallel programming framework that relies on a federated function-as-a-service (FaaS) model to enable composition of distributed, scalable, and high-performance scientific workflows, and to support fine-grained function-level management. UniFaaS provides a unified programming interface to compose dynamic task graphs with transparent wide-area data management. UniFaaS exploits an observe-predict-decide approach to efficiently map workflow tasks to target heterogeneous and dynamic resources. We propose a dynamic heterogeneity-aware scheduling algorithm that employs a delay mechanism and a re-scheduling mechanism to accommodate dynamic resource capacity. Our experiments show that UniFaaS can efficiently execute workflows across computing resources with minimal scheduling overhead. We show that UniFaaS can improve the performance of a real-world drug screening workflow by as much as 22.99% when employing an additional 19.48% of resources and a montage workflow by 54.41% when employing an additional 47.83% of resources across multiple distributed clusters, in contrast to using a single cluster.

The objective of this work was the investigation of multiscale Amplitude Modulation - Frequency Modulation (AM-FM) analysis based on Difference of Gaussians (DoG) filterbanks representations in order to predict the risk of stroke by analysing carotid plaques ultrasound images of individuals with asymptomatic carotid stenosis. We computed the instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase and the magnitude of instantaneous frequency to extract histogram features on each plaque region. The Support Vectors Machine classifier was implemented to classify asymptomatic versus symptomatic plaques. A dataset of 100 carotid plaque images (50 asymptomatic and 50 symptomatic) were tested, and showed that the AM-FM features based on DoG filterbanks and simple histograms performed better than the traditional AM-FM features. Best results were obtained when an eight scale filterbank with a combination of scales was used reaching the accuracy of 75%.
