The accumulation and analysis of large-scale patient data have led to breakthrough discoveries in potential flags for diseases based on pattern recognition, highlight medication efficacy, and local population health trends that would be impossible with traditional paper-based records. However, these benefits come with unique challenges posed by the application of data sharing for research and…

Skin cancer stands among some of the fastest growing and fatal malignancies of the world as a result early and accurate diagnosis of skin cancer is essential in order to enhance patient survival and treatment prognosis. Conventional methods of diagnosis including dermoscopy and histopathological examinations are expensive and time consuming also subject to inter-observer error.…

Zero Trust Architecture offers a transformative approach to network security by emphasizing ”never trust, always verify.” IoT devices, while increasingly integral to modern ecosystems, pose unique challenges for identity management and access control due to their constrained processing power, memory, and energy capabilities. In a Zero Trust framework, every IoT device is treated as a…

While prior research has focused on siloed approaches to equipment replacement, this study introduces an integrated decision-making framework that synergizes predictive maintenance (IoT/M), dynamic multi-criteria analysis (MCDM), and sustainability-driven material selection. By validating this model through cross-sector case studies and strategic operational planning across various industrial sectors. We demonstrate a 30% improvement in replacement timing…

Cloud computing has emerged as a pivotal component of contemporary IT systems, affording organizations the agility and scalability required to meet the ever-changing demands of business. However, this technological evolution has introduced a new era of cybersecurity challenges, as attackers employ increasingly sophisticated strategies to breach cloud networks. Such breaches can have far-reaching consequences, including…

This study presents an “Omnidirectional multi-view image measurement system”, which can be used to provide multi-camera 3D reconstruction and multi-view image information. Its characteristic is that four cameras take images from multiple perspectives in the co-sphere framework. The C0 is the middle camera fixed as the geometric center point of measurement, and provides a front…

Many consequences can be resulted in mismanagement of crowd, which might get people injured or even lose their lives. Thus, crowd management helps in controlling overcrowded areas during events, and allowing authorities to monitor, manage and reduce incidents. Space science and technology have made huge leap in crowd management, let alone when this technology integrated…

Technologies designed for digital provenance, especially the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain, may allow for security, transparency, and traceability in the global supply chain. However, upstream nodes in the supply chain that work for large-scale production suppliers are not considered. In addition, most IoT blockchain systems adopt an ID-based signature scheme that may affect…

The TAM is a model that is widely used to understand IT adoption and usage process accordingly and the reason for its popularity is that the model clarifies variances like behavioral intention (BI) relevant to IT appropriation and use over a broad range of settings. The model’s main factors for system use is perceived usefulness…

Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) decentralisation brings about reductions in the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) earmarked for landfilling worse still under situations where MSW is being sent to dumpsites. It also reduces the distances MSW collection vehicles travel during MSW collection, maintenance and transport costs due to the establishment of local level decentralised…
