Traditionally, hand hygiene performance of personnel is evaluated through human sight which does not meet the standard since the error may cause by human. Later, the hand hygiene auditing using image processing is proposed. The hand image is converted into grayscale and detected a clean/unclean area with a fixed threshold. In this paper, we propose a new hand hygiene auditing algorithm for hand hygiene evaluation machine by exploiting the image processing application. The objective of this work is to improve the performance and reduce a time of the traditional hand hygiene performance evaluation. In our proposed algorithm, the performance of hand hygiene is evaluated through color image by extracting the blue (B) component of image which is greatly influenced by the effect of ultraviolet (UV) light. Moreover, we detect clean/unclean area with an adaptive thresholds since the intensity of clean/unclean area for white and dark people is not the same. Therefore, the hand hygiene performance of personnel is evaluated accurately with less short consuming.

With the rapid development of mobile devices, the problem privacy leaking has become an important research focus in the field of mobile crowdsourcing. In order to guarantee the security and truthfulness of mobile crowdsourcing, this paper proposes a differentially k -anonymity location privacy-preserving for mobile crowdsourcing. Through combining k-anonymity and differential privacy-preserving, the differentially k -anonymity-based location privacy-preserving is proposed in order to prevent workers’ location information from being leaked. Through comparison experiments, the effectiveness, adaptation and flexibility of the proposed differentially k -anonymity-based location privacy-preserving is verified. The differentially k -anonymity-based location privacy-preserving can inspire workers to participate crowd tasks, and protect workers’ location privacy effectively.

Network intrusion detection systems (IDSs) dynamically monitor communication events on a network, and decide whether any event is symptomatic of an attack or constitutes a legitimate use of the system. They have become an indispensable component of security infrastructure, e.g., to detect threats before widespread damage takes place. A variety of approaches have been proposed to design IDSs, including fuzzy rule-based techniques that offer advantages such as tolerance of noisy and imprecise data. In particular, fuzzy rules can be highly interpretable and trackable if the underlying fuzzy sets are predefined, directly reflecting domain expertise. This paper proposes such an approach to generate a set of weighted fuzzy rules for building effective IDSs, where the rule weights are optimised by Particle Swarm Optimisation without affecting the underlying predefined fuzzy sets. Experiments are performed on benchmark IDS datasets with comparison to alternative systems built with popular machine learning methods.

The vision of Semantic Web is to have a Web of things instead of Web of documents in a form that can be processed by machines. This vision could be achieved on the existing Web using semantic annotation based on common and public ontologies. Due to exponential growth and the huge size of the Web sources, there is a need to have fast and automatic semantic annotation of Web documents. Arabic language received less attention in semantic Web research as compared to Latin languages especially in the field of semantic annotation. The aim of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of using word embeddings from deep learning algorithms for semantic annotation of Arabic Web documents. To evaluate the performance of the proposed framework, food, nutrition, and health ontologies were used to annotate some related Web documents. For a given set of Arabic documents and ontologies, the framework produces annotations of these documents using different output formats. The initial results show a promising performance which will support the research in the Semantic Web with respect to Arabic language. The proposed framework could be used for building semantic Web application and semantic search engines for Arabic Language.

This paper provides an overview of recent research activities of the 5G AgiLe and fLexible integration of SaTellite And cellulaR (5G-ALLSTAR) project which aims to develop Multi-Connectivity technology that integrates the cellular and satellite networks to provide seamless, reliable and ubiquitous broadband services. 5G-ALLSTAR also entails developing millimeter-wave (mmWave) 5G New Radio (NR)-based cellular access system and investigating the feasibility of NR-based satellite access for providing broadband and reliable 5G services. In addition, spectrum sharing between cellular and satellite networks is studied. With all the technologies developed, 5G-ALLSTAR will showcase the first fully integrated satellite and cellular prototype system for 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) services at a big event (e.g., sporting event like Roland-Garros) in 2021. This paper also provides a preliminary techno-economic analysis on potential use cases targeting vertical markets, and introduces recent standardization activities of relevance.

This paper presents a gauge pressure sensor based on the standard industrial flexible PCB (FPCB) technology. The wireless LC-resonant sensor consists of a variable sensing capacitor and a planar inductor coil fabricated in FPCB. The air gap of the sensing capacitor is extended through a pressure channel embedded in the FPCB strip to enable relative pressure measurement. Thus, the intracranial pressure (ICP) with respect to local atmosphere can be measured without other calibration means. The flat FPCB structure also facilitates the subdural implantation procedures. Experimental results showed that the proposed gauge pressure sensors with such open sensing structures had much higher frequency sensitivity (0.29%/mmHg) compared with sensors with sealed sensing cavities (0.005%/mmHg) and achieved a resolution of 0.51 mmHg.

This paper is concerned with the design of polynomial observers for positive polynomial interval systems. In order to design the polynomial observer a solution based on Sum Of Squares (SOS) programming is provided. The design conditions are presented in terms of SOS, which can be numerically and symbolically solved via SOSTOOLS and a Semi-Definite Program (SDP) solver. Finally, numerical examples are given to show the feasibility of the proposed approaches.
