The article analyses enhancing the sensitivity of fiber-optic polarization sensors to temperature changes via additional longitudinal strain. This multifunctional sensor is suitable for application as a sensing element for security purposes and has many possible biomedical applications. The testing method consists of stretching the fiber on a proof tester where it is possible to get an exact setting of the operating force, and then applying a container of water at a different temperature. Changes were captured by a laser power meter and plotted into graphs describing several sets of measurements to keep independence on manufacturing. The sensor sensitivity was increased and the proposed solution appeared to be suitable for in-position sensors with minimum additional outlays.

Digital twin (DT) technology enables the replica of physical objects and environmental statuses of a physical system, which can be used for further simulation, analysis, and prediction. By combining DT with mobile edge computing (MEC), a new paradigm called digital twin edge networks (DITEN) is able to fill the gap between physical edge networks and digital systems and provide novel services to physical devices. Due to possible failure in data sensing, balancing sensing time and successful sensing rate needs to be considered to ensure the freshness of collected data in DITEN. Additionally, an optimal data scheduling policy is necessary to ensure efficient communication between physical devices and the edge server while maintaining the accuracy of DT. Therefore, this paper proposes a joint optimization problem for the sensing and communication for DITEN. Due to the nonconvex nature of the formulated problem, we decompose the original problem into three subproblems, and an iterative optimization algorithm is proposed to minimize the system overhead of DNT realization. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated through extensive simulations.

Increasingly available ultrastructural data from a continuously growing diversity of experimental conditions are driving new opportunities for fruitful neuroscientific hypotheses tested in intracellular compartments such as the nanoscale roles of, e.g., the mitochondria. Reliable morphological statistics are based on achieving highly accurate semantic segmentations of EM images. The state-of-the-art deep CNNs can be somewhat brittle;they tend to provide coarse and high-frequency-oscillatory solutions with discontinuities and false positives even for simple mitochondria segmentation. Historically, the current state-of-the-art in medical image segmentation would involve some variant of the encoder-decoder architecture, such as the U-Net architecture. The SAM does not perform as well, since it has not been explicitly trained for the task and does not demonstrate user-interactive, over one billion annotations mostly for natural images. However, the SAM may be applied to segment anything, including medical image segmentation challenging new datasets. This work is aimed at the difficult task of implementing domain adaptation in mitochondria segmentation within EM images obtained from various tissues and species, using deep learning. We do a systematic study to assess SAM's ability to perform segmentation in medical images, measure its performance on volumetric EM datasets, and show that it is powerful at segmenting instances even under challenging imaging conditions. We provide a fine-tuning SAM which can be naturally trained by SAM at an exemplary scale, benefiting from a diverse and large dataset over one million image masks in 11 modalities. This model would be able to perform precise segmentation for a wide range of targets under various imaging conditions, at the level of performance of specialized U-Net models, or even better. A visual comparison is shown between our fine-tuning SAM model and U-Net, along with an examination of different watershed post-processing st

The Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) rely heavily on location-aided routing protocols due to their energy-saving capabilities and ability to extend the network lifetime, especially in emergency situations where private IP addresses are unavailable. However, the route discovery process of the location-aided routing (LAR) is ineffective in void zone environments where data packets cannot reach their intended destination. To address this issue, this paper presents a new approach called Location-aided base on trajectory that eliminates the void zone. The results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches in terms of reachability, making it a more robust alternative to the default location-aided routing protocol.

Cervical cancer is a major health concern for women worldwide, and early detection is essential for successful treatment. Since symptoms often do not appear until later stages, early screening is necessary. Machine learning can help classify cervical cancer risk by analyzing patient datasets and identifying the important factors that predict the likelihood of emerging cervical cancer. This paper evaluates six different machine-learning approaches for analyzing risk factors associated with cervical cancer using a dataset of 838 instances with 36 features. Results show that the SVM classifier performs the best, with an accuracy of 99.60% which emphasize the possibility of utilizing machine learning to enhance the precision of cervical cancer risk assessment. This can result in the development of better screening and prevention techniques for cervical cancer, which can be more effective in identifying and managing this disease.

This research presents an enhanced version of the technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which integrates usability and learning objectives to evaluate the effect of adopting virtual laboratories on student performance. Data from 97 participants, gathered via a survey, was used to examine the correlation between perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), and intention to use (IU) concerning their experiences and outcomes with a simulation-based virtual laboratory. A custom questionnaire was designed to assess TAM components, namely PU, PEOU, and IU, specifically in the context of virtual laboratory learning environments. Findings indicate that the integration of specific laboratory learning objectives fosters the creation of a more credible and authentic simulation tool. This, in turn, optimizes the learning process and enhances students' learning outcomes. The refined TAM model provides valuable insights into the determinants of user acceptance of virtual laboratories and offers practical guidance for educators and instructional designers to construct more effective and efficient virtual laboratory environments in educational contexts.
