Due to the mobility of users and end devices, providing continuous service in Fog Computing (FC) is a difficult challeng.. With fog-assisted IoT healthcare frameworks, dealing with user mobility becomes even more complex because low latency in mobility support and fog node locating is a critical requirement. In this work, we offer a fog computing architecture with hand-over strategy that is tailored to user mobility and that reduces latency for location-sensitive operations and service stability with great data broadcast quality. In our design, it is no longer necessary to either complete a work or send it to the cloud; instead, it is necessary to connect with other FNs to continue with a request for a new job. This reduces average network delay by 30%-40% and increases end-to-end communication by 35%-45%.

Blindness is a prevalent disability with significant personal and societal consequences. While medical advancements offer treatment options, severe damage to the retina, optic nerve, or brain may remain untreated. Visual prostheses are implantable medical devices that aim at providing limited vision to such individuals. However, such prostheses offer low spatial resolution making activities like reading, facial recognition, and navigation challeng.ng. This work aims to enhance implantees’ ability to recognize faces through real-time scene preprocessing, machine learning and computer vision techniques. Virtual-reality visual models simulating prosthetic vision were tested on normally/corrected sighted subjects, investigating the use of histogram equalization for contrast enhancement, facial region magnification, and caricaturing of facial features. Results revealed that histogram equalization with magnification increases facial recognition accuracy by 60%, distinguishability accuracy by 50%, and accuracy of seeing facial details by 90%. In contrast, adding facial caricaturing improved the accuracies by 66.66%, 25%, and 75% for recognizability, distinguishability, and seeing facial details, respectively. Consequently, the combination of visual field histogram equalization, face magnification, and optional caricaturing can be considered as a promising enhancement approach that could enhance the quality of vision perceived through visual prostheses.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) pose an extreme hazard to human health all around the planet, accounting for a substantial proportion of global mortality. elec.rocardiogram (ECG) signals of human beings is one of the most significant CVD detection procedure because of its non-invasive and cost-effective nature. However, due to their modest amplitudes and short duration, ECG signals, at times, can be difficult to interpret, resulting in heterogeneity in analysis. In the present study, by investigating the use of ML and DL, specifically DL methods, in automated ECG diagnosis to address these problems. There has been pompous work done in the landscape of Neural Network, but very little has been achieved in the domain of the reduction of computational cost. This investigation is aimed to refashion the traditional convolution method into Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) convolution method in an endeavor to reduce computational complexity and the time taken to perform convolution on ECG signals while proliferating the quality of automated feature detection and extraction. The proposed model achieved high accuracy of 95.81, AUC and F1 Score of 0.9886 and 0.9587 respectively. The study was intended to develop a model that caters to all these needs and extends beyond the scope of our dilemma to aid in accurate HD detection.

Cloud storage capacity for surveillance videos is restricted by the massive amounts of bandwidth needed to upload them and the substantial storage space they consume. As a result, researchers are actively exploring methods to reduce file sizes while maintaining critical visual details. The goal is to achieve a balance between minimizing the storage size required and preserving video quality, all while keeping costs as low as possible and achieving the best possible results. This paper proposes a developed approach to optimize surveillance video compression. Specifically, each frame, after being acquired, is applied to extract regions of interest (ROI) where motion has occurred, ensuring that the entire desired area is captured. Next, the extracted areas with no changes are zeroed out, reducing unnecessary data. The resulting area is then encoded and transmitted. When the encoded video is received, the decoding process is carried out to restore the video to its original content, i.e., video frames. Three datasets are used to evaluate the performance of the developed algorithm. In addition, the obtained results are compared to the basic video, which shows that the developed algorithm produced good results, outperforming the MJPEG algorithm and existing algorithms.

The high confidentiality level of power system's data has motivated the ongoing research on the generation of synthetic power grids that mimic actual systems. The existing synthetic models rely on specific geographical and parametric assumptions, which leads to non-generalizable models that overfit the observed data. To fill up this research gap, this paper proposes the use of graphon, a non-parametric graph processing method, to generate graph samples of different sizes with similar topological and elec.rical characteristics as actual power systems. We first estimate the graphon based on realistic parameters of the observed actual power system. Then as an example of a use case, we sample multiple graphs from the graphon in order to provide a general assessment of the power system vulnerabilities.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are pivotal in the global energy transition, where accurate solar power forecasting is critical. Traditional forecasting has leaned heavily on solar irradiance data, yet such reliance carries inherent uncertainties and measurement complexities, presenting significant forecasting challeng.s. This paper introduces a novel hybrid/ensemble model that reduces dependence on solar irradiance data, utilizing geographic, meteorological, and temporal data to predict solar power output. Combining the streng.hs of XGBoost and LightGBM algorithms through a linear regression meta-model, our approach demonstrates improved prediction accuracy, evidenced by a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.033, and an R-squared value of 0.693. This study advances solar power forecasting, enhancing PV system efficiency, and reliability, and promoting sustainable energy investments.
