In this paper, we have developed a gas injection-type prefabricated lifting device based on location tracking to efficiently lift the human body in the event of an accident that occurs underwater on the sea or land. The efficiency of the lifting system is very important to ensure the golden time of the rescue and the…

Liver cancer is a major contributor to cancer-related mortality both in the United States and worldwide. A range of liver diseases, such as chronic liver disease, liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, and liver cancer, play a role in this statistic. Hepatitis, in particular, is the main culprit behind liver cancer. As a consequence, it is decisive to…

Mental stress assessment remains riddled with biases caused by subjective reports and individual differences across societal backgrounds. To objectively determine the presence or absence of mental stress, there is a need to move away from the traditional subjective methods of self-report questionnaires and interviews. Previously, it has been evidence that EEG Oscillations can discriminate mental…

In the context of adopting cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), prospective consumers need to consider a wide array of both business and technical factors associated with the service. The development of an intelligent tool to aid in the assessment of IaaS offerings is highly desirable. However, the creation of such a tool requires a robust foundation of…

Daily life is characterized by a great explosion of abundance of information available on the internet and social media. Smart technology has radically changed our lives, giving a leading role to social media for communication, advertising, information and exchange of opinions. Managing this huge amount of data by humans is an almost impossible task. Adequacy…

In this work, our contribution will intervene to reduce the impact of noises on the ECG signals. Various ECG denoising approaches were tested to see how efficient they were in removing dominant noises that add to pure ECG signals. Due to different causes such as interference, muscular noise, body movement related to breathing, and so…

A robot development has spread widely for various purposes. It is difficult to create a control program for an autonomous mobile robot manually. Therefore, an automatic design of the control program for an autonomous mobile robot is proposed in this research. The autonomous mobile robot is created with LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, and the control program…

Many designs for robot arms exist. Here we present an affordable revolute arm, capable of executing simple pick-and-place tasks. The arm employs a double parallelogram structure, which ensures its endpoint angle in the plane of the upper arm remains fixed without the need for additional actuation. Its limbs are fabricated from circular tubes made from…

In this paper, we delve into the pressing necessity for proficient battery cell balancing, an imperative in the context of the escalating adoption of renewable energy and electric vehicles. While traditional methodologies, including the passive technique, offer a straightforward and cost-effective solution, they compromise on efficiency. The active technique, though superior in efficiency, is hindered…

Designing efficient control strategies for opinion dynamics is a challenging task. Understanding how individuals change their opinions in social networks is essential to countering malicious actors and fake news and mitigating their effect on the network. In many applications such as marketing design, product launches, etc., corporations often post curated news or feeds on social…
