Authors: Duc Caroline , Boukhenane Mohamed Lamine , Fagniez Thomas , Khouchaf Lahcen , Redon Nathalie , Wojkiewicz Jean-Luc
Published: October 2021

Hybrid composites based on tin chloride and the conductive polymers, polyaniline (PAni) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), were integrated into high-performance hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas sensors working at room temperature. The morphology and chemical properties were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR). The composites demonstrated a slightly porous nanostructure and strong interactions between the polymers and the metal salt, which slightly dopes PAni. The hybrid sensors exhibited a very low detection limit (<85 ppb), fast response, repeatability, reproducibility and stability over one month. Moreover, this work presents how calibration based on the derivative of the signal can give hybrid sensors the ability to quantify the concentration of targeted gas, even during continuous variation of the analyte concentration. Finally, the effect of interfering species, such as water and ammonia, is discussed.

Published: October 2021

We detail a study of the techniques and sealing materials for optical fiber sensors used in dynamic environments with high pressure (>300 bar) and high temperature (>300 °C). The sealing techniques and materials are the key for the robustness of sensors in harsh dynamic environments, such as large combustion engines. The sealing materials and techniques studied in this work are high-temperature epoxies, metallic polymer, metallic solders, glass solder, cement, brazing and electroless nickel plating. Because obtaining high temperature simultaneously with high pressure is very difficult in the same chamber in the laboratory, we developed a new and simple method to test sealed fibers in these conditions in the laboratory. In addition, some sensors using the materials tested in the laboratory were also field tested in real thermoelectric combustion engines. The study also discusses the methods of fabrication and the cost−benefit ratio of each method.

Authors: Zeinali Mehdi , Thompson John S.
Published: October 2021

In the last few years, Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies have been proposed for Machine-Type Communications (MTC). In this paper, we evaluate wireless relay technologies that can improve LPWAN coverage for smart meter communication applications. We provide a realistic coverage analysis using a realistic correlated shadow-fading map and path-loss calculation for the environment. Our analysis shows significant reductions in the number of MTC devices in outage by deploying either small cells or Device-to-Device (D2D) communications. In addition, we analyzed the energy consumption of the MTC devices for different data packet sizes and Maximum Coupling Loss (MCL) values. Finally, we study how compression techniques can extend the battery lifetime of MTC devices.
Efficient Optical Sensing Based on Phase Shift of Waves Supported by a One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal
Authors: Kaňok Roman , Hlubina Petr , Gembalová Lucie , Ciprian Dalibor
Published: October 2021

Interferometric methods of optical sensing based on the phase shift of the Bloch surface waves (BSWs) and guided waves (GWs) supported by a one-dimensional photonic crystal are presented. The photonic crystal, composed of six SiO2/TiO2 bilayers with a termination layer of TiO2, is employed in the Kretschmann configuration. Under resonance condition, an abrupt phase change is revealed, and the corresponding phase shift is measured by interferometric techniques applied in both the spectral and spatial domains. The spectral interferometric technique employing a birefringent quartz crystal is used to obtain interference of projections of p- and s-polarized light waves reflected from the photonic crystal. The phase shifts are retrieved by processing the spectral interferograms recorded for various values of relative humidity (RH) of air, giving the sensitivity to the RH as high as 0.029 rad/%RH and 0.012 rad/%RH for the BSW and GW, respectively. The spatial interferometric technique employs a Wollaston prism and an analyzer to generate an interference pattern, which is processed to retrieve the phase difference, and results are in good agreement with those obtained by sensing the phase shift in the spectral domain. In addition, from the derivative of the spectral phase shifts, the peak positions are obtained, and their changes with the RH give the sensitivities of 0.094 nm/%RH and 0.061 nm/%RH for the BSW and GW, respectively. These experimental results demonstrate an efficient optical sensing with a lot of applications in various research areas.
Multi-Robot Preemptive Task Scheduling with Fault Recovery: A Novel Approach to Automatic Logistics of Smart Factories
Authors: Kalempa Vivian Cremer , Piardi Luis , Limeira Marcelo , de Oliveira André Schneider
Published: October 2021

This paper presents a novel approach for Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) that introduces priority policies on preemptive task scheduling and considers dependencies between tasks, and tolerates faults. The approach is referred to as Multi-Robot Preemptive Task Scheduling with Fault Recovery (MRPF). It considers the interaction between running processes and their tasks for management at each new event, prioritizing the more relevant tasks without idleness and latency. The benefit of this approach is the optimization of production in smart factories, where autonomous robots are being employed to improve efficiency and increase flexibility. The evaluation of MRPF is performed through experimentation in small-scale warehouse logistics, referred to as Augmented Reality to Enhanced Experimentation in Smart Warehouses (ARENA). An analysis of priority scheduling, task preemption, and fault recovery is presented to show the benefits of the proposed approach.
Using Perspective-n-Point Algorithms for a Local Positioning System Based on LEDs and a QADA Receiver
Authors: Aparicio-Esteve Elena , Ureña Jesús , Hernández Álvaro , Pizarro Daniel , Moltó David
Published: October 2021

The research interest on location-based services has increased during the last years ever since 3D centimetre accuracy inside intelligent environments could be confronted with. This work proposes an indoor local positioning system based on LED lighting, transmitted from a set of beacons to a receiver. The receiver is based on a quadrant photodiode angular diversity aperture (QADA) plus an aperture placed over it. This configuration can be modelled as a perspective camera, where the image position of the transmitters can be used to recover the receiver’s 3D pose. This process is known as the perspective-n-point (PnP) problem, which is well known in computer vision and photogrammetry. This work investigates the use of different state-of-the-art PnP algorithms to localize the receiver in a large space of 2 × 2 m2 based on four co-planar transmitters and with a distance from transmitters to receiver up to 3.4 m. Encoding techniques are used to permit the simultaneous emission of all the transmitted signals and their processing in the receiver. In addition, correlation techniques (match filtering) are used to determine the image points projected from each emitter on the QADA. This work uses Monte Carlo simulations to characterize the absolute errors for a grid of test points under noisy measurements, as well as the robustness of the system when varying the 3D location of one transmitter. The IPPE algorithm obtained the best performance in this configuration. The proposal has also been experimentally evaluated in a real setup. The estimation of the receiver’s position at three particular points for roll angles of the receiver of γ={0°, 120°, 210° and 300°} using the IPPE algorithm achieves average absolute errors and standard deviations of 4.33 cm, 3.51 cm and 28.90 cm; and 1.84 cm, 1.17 cm and 19.80 cm in the coordinates x, y and z, respectively. These positioning results are in line with those obtained in previous work using triangulation techniques but with the addition that the complete pose of the receiver (x, y, z, α, β, γ) is obtained in this proposal.

Published: October 2021

Frailty and falls are a major public health problem in older adults. Muscle weakness of the lower and upper extremities are risk factors for any, as well as recurrent falls including injuries and fractures. While the Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) test is often used to identify frail members and fallers, tensiomyography (TMG) can be used as a non-invasive tool to assess the function of skeletal muscles. In a clinical study, we evaluated the correlation between the TMG parameters of the skeletal muscle contraction of 23 elderly participants (22 f, age 86.74 ± 7.88) and distance-based TUG test subtask times. TUG tests were recorded with an ultrasonic-based device. The sit-up and walking phases were significantly correlated to the contraction and delay time of the muscle vastus medialis (ρ = 0.55–0.80, p < 0.01). In addition, the delay time of the muscles vastus medialis (ρ = 0.45, p = 0.03) and gastrocnemius medialis (ρ = −0.44, p = 0.04) correlated to the sit-down phase. The maximal radial displacements of the biceps femoris showed significant correlations with the walk-forward times (ρ = −0.47, p = 0.021) and back (ρ = −0.43, p = 0.04). The association of TUG subtasks to muscle contractile parameters, therefore, could be utilized as a measure to improve the monitoring of elderly people’s physical ability in general and during rehabilitation after a fall in particular. TUG test subtask measurements may be used as a proxy to monitor muscle properties in rehabilitation after long hospital stays and injuries or for fall prevention.
A Deep-Learning-Based Approach for Wheat Yellow Rust Disease Recognition from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Images
Authors: Pan Qian , Gao Maofang , Wu Pingbo , Yan Jingwen , Li Shilei
Published: October 2021

Yellow rust is a disease with a wide range that causes great damage to wheat. The traditional method of manually identifying wheat yellow rust is very inefficient. To improve this situation, this study proposed a deep-learning-based method for identifying wheat yellow rust from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images. The method was based on the pyramid scene parsing network (PSPNet) semantic segmentation model to classify healthy wheat, yellow rust wheat, and bare soil in small-scale UAV images, and to investigate the spatial generalization of the model. In addition, it was proposed to use the high-accuracy classification results of traditional algorithms as weak samples for wheat yellow rust identification. The recognition accuracy of the PSPNet model in this study reached 98%. On this basis, this study used the trained semantic segmentation model to recognize another wheat field. The results showed that the method had certain generalization ability, and its accuracy reached 98%. In addition, the high-accuracy classification result of a support vector machine was used as a weak label by weak supervision, which better solved the labeling problem of large-size images, and the final recognition accuracy reached 94%. Therefore, the present study method facilitated timely control measures to reduce economic losses.

Authors: García-Sánchez Ignacio , Fresnedo Óscar , González-Coma José P. , Castedo Luis
Published: October 2021

In this work, we study and analyze the reconstruction of hyperspectral images that are sampled with a CASSI device. The sensing procedure was modeled with the help of the CS theory, which enabled efficient mechanisms for the reconstruction of the hyperspectral images from their compressive measurements. In particular, we considered and compared four different type of estimation algorithms: OMP, GPSR, LASSO, and IST. Furthermore, the large dimensions of hyperspectral images required the implementation of a practical block CASSI model to reconstruct the images with an acceptable delay and affordable computational cost. In order to consider the particularities of the block model and the dispersive effects in the CASSI-like sensing procedure, the problem was reformulated, as well as the construction of the variables involved. For this practical CASSI setup, we evaluated the performance of the overall system by considering the aforementioned algorithms and the different factors that impacted the reconstruction procedure. Finally, the obtained results were analyzed and discussed from a practical perspective.
Low Complexity System on Chip Design to Acquire Signals from MOS Gas Sensor Applications
Authors: Talens Juan B. , Pelegri-Sebastia Jose , Canet Maria Jose
Published: October 2021

Analog signals from gas sensors are used to recognize all types of VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) substances, such as toxic gases, tobacco or ethanol. The processes to recognize these substances include acquisition, treatment and machine learning for classification, which can all be efficiently implemented on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) aided by Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS). This article proposes a low-cost 11-bit effective number of bits (ENOB) sigma-delta Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), with an SNR of 75.97 dB and an SFDR of 72.28 dB, whose output is presented on screen in real time, thanks to the use of a Linux System on Chip (SoC) system that enables parallelism, high-level programming and provides a working environment for the scientific treatment of gas sensor signals. The high frequency achieved by the implemented ADC allows for multiplexing the capture of several analog signals with an optimal resolution. Additionally, several ADCs can be implemented in the same FPGA so several analog signals can be digitalized in parallel.
A Novel Interference Avoidance Based on a Distributed Deep Learning Model for 5G-Enabled IoT
Authors: Osman Radwa Ahmed , Saleh Sherine Nagy , Saleh Yasmine N. M.
Published: October 2021

The co-existence of fifth-generation (5G) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) has become inevitable in many applications since 5G networks have created steadier connections and operate more reliably, which is extremely important for IoT communication. During transmission, IoT devices (IoTDs) communicate with IoT Gateway (IoTG), whereas in 5G networks, cellular users equipment (CUE) may communicate with any destination (D) whether it is a base station (BS) or other CUE, which is known as device-to-device (D2D) communication. One of the challenges that face 5G and IoT is interference. Interference may exist at BSs, CUE receivers, and IoTGs due to the sharing of the same spectrum. This paper proposes an interference avoidance distributed deep learning model for IoT and device to any destination communication by learning from data generated by the Lagrange optimization technique to predict the optimum IoTD-D, CUE-IoTG, BS-IoTD and IoTG-CUE distances for uplink and downlink data communication, thus achieving higher overall system throughput and energy efficiency. The proposed model was compared to state-of-the-art regression benchmarks, which provided a huge improvement in terms of mean absolute error and root mean squared error. Both analytical and deep learning models reached the optimal throughput and energy efficiency while suppressing interference to any destination and IoTG.
Rheumatic Heart Disease Screening Based on Phonocardiogram
Authors: Asmare Melkamu Hunegnaw , Filtjens Benjamin , Woldehanna Frehiwot , Janssens Luc , Vanrumste Bart
Published: October 2021

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is one of the most common causes of cardiovascular complications in developing countries. It is a heart valve disease that typically affects children. Impaired heart valves stop functioning properly, resulting in a turbulent blood flow within the heart known as a murmur. This murmur can be detected by cardiac auscultation. However, the specificity and sensitivity of manual auscultation were reported to be low. The other alternative is echocardiography, which is costly and requires a highly qualified physician. Given the disease’s current high prevalence rate (the latest reported rate in the study area (Ethiopia) was 5.65%), there is a pressing need for early detection of the disease through mass screening programs. This paper proposes an automated RHD screening approach using machine learning that can be used by non-medically trained persons outside of a clinical setting. Heart sound data was collected from 124 persons with RHD (PwRHD) and 46 healthy controls (HC) in Ethiopia with an additional 81 HC records from an open-access dataset. Thirty-one distinct features were extracted to correctly represent RHD. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was evaluated using two nested cross-validation approaches to quantitatively assess the generalization of the system to previously unseen subjects. For regular nested 10-fold cross-validation, an f1-score of 96.0 ± 0.9%, recall 95.8 ± 1.5%, precision 96.2 ± 0.6% and a specificity of 96.0 ± 0.6% were achieved. In the imbalanced nested cross-validation at a prevalence rate of 5%, it achieved an f1-score of 72.2 ± 0.8%, recall 92.3 ± 0.4%, precision 59.2 ± 3.6%, and a specificity of 94.8 ± 0.6%. In screening tasks where the prevalence of the disease is small, recall is more important than precision. The findings are encouraging, and the proposed screening tool can be inexpensive, easy to deploy, and has an excellent detection rate. As a result, it has the potential for mass screening and early detection of RHD in developing countries.

Published: October 2021

The paper provides data on the use of nanostructured cobalt sulfate in the production of marmalade as functional food for prophylactic purposes. The particle trajectory analysis method (NTA method) was used to determine the sizes of nanostructured cobalt sulfate. In this case, the smallest size (25.7 nm) is formed only in gellan gum with a “core : shell” ratio of 1:1. When the “core : shell” ratio in gellan gum is 1:3, the average size of nanocapsules is 49.9 nm. This result can be explained by the tighter packing of cobalt sulfate in the capsule. In sodium alginate, the average nanocapsule size is already 191 nm. The polydispersity coefficient in all studied shells and at different “core : shell” ratios are practically equal and amounts to 0.84–1.09, which corresponds to a spherical shape.

Authors: Ganicheva A. V. , Ganichev A. V.
Published: October 2021

The problem of reducing the number of observations for constructing a confidence interval of variance with a given degree of accuracy and reliability is considered. The new method of constructing an interval estimate of variance developed in the article is formulated by three statements and justified by four proven theorems. Formulas for calculating the required number of observations depending on the accuracy and reliability of the estimate are derived. The results of the calculations are presented in the table and shown in the diagram. The universality and effectiveness of this method is shown. The universality of the method lies in the fact that it is applicable to any laws of probability distribution, and not only for the normal law. The effectiveness of the developed method is justified by comparing its performance with other known methods.
Avaliações – nacional e internacional – no Brasil e a relação com o saber de diretores escolares
Authors: Luiz Maria Cecília , Souza Aline Cristina de , Wellichan Viviane
Published: October 2021

Partiu-se do pressuposto de que a forma como diretores de escola têm lidado com as questões de avaliações escolares, institucionais e em larga escala tem afetado diretamente o desempenho escolar dos alunos. Objetivou-se compreender por meio da Relação com o Saber (RcS) o que sabem os diretores escolares brasileiros sobre avaliação, em geral. Este estudo de caráter qualitativo, exploratório caracterizou-se pelo uso de formulário online para diretores do Brasil, aplicado em abril e maio de 2020. Concluiu-se que a RcS está relacionada com um saber advindo muito do que vem de fora (conhecimentos) do que de dentro (suas escolhas), com pouca perspectiva de autonomia intelectual e prática. Fruto de uma pedagogia tecnicista, o diretor escolar que recebe pouca formação inicial para sua função, com grande rotatividade em sua carreira profissional, estabelece as RcS ordenadas pelas secretarias de educação, muitas vezes, sem compreensão da sua escola, da sua situação, enfim do desempenho de seus alunos. É um diretor que possui RcS conforme seu tempo, suas obrigações imediatas, sua condição precária de ser educador no Brasil.

Urban Densification and Social Sustainability: A Case Study of Dhaka
Authors: Jafrina Nancy Dr. Syeda
Published: October 2021

Dhaka is regarded as a thriving megacity of South Asia. The key challenges that the bustling hub is confronted with are land scarcity and the growing population. With limited land supply, the city is copping to accommodate its ever-growing population through two development strategies, namely densification and vertical expansion. Densification is regarded as an effective tool in guiding the urbanization process, while vertical expansion can be considered as a complementary part of this strategy. When it comes to application in an urban environment as a strategy, the subjective attributes of density need to be taken into consideration along with its objective aspects. As the concept of crowdedness differs generally among people belonging to different cultures, statuses, ethnicity, and geographic location, the livable density standard is also supposed to vary accordingly. The concept of habitable density for any community is profoundly related to the various aspects of social sustainability. Since densification has been taking place in Dhaka without any guidelines, the livability conditions with regards to the social sustainability of the city dwellers are largely compromised. Therefore, there is an urgent need to assess the sustainability of the residential areas of Dhaka, which have been developing as a by-product of the unguided densification process taking place over the recent decades.

O presente artigo visa explicitar a concepção de educação em vista da resistência e da emancipação, em reconhecer a fundamental importância da educação na formação humana crítica, bem como analisar suas transformações, sobretudo diante das regras do capital, as novas tecnologias e inovações digitais que fazem parte da vida dos indivíduos. Nesse sentido, se presenciamos um crescente panorama de crise em múltiplas áreas, crise de paradigmas, a educação também pode ser situada nesse mesmo patamar. Esse dado exige rebuscar seu sentido mais profundo, uma educação baseada em formação integral, humanizadora, crítica, que sinalize para uma ética capaz de tornar o humano responsável em vista de que as barbáries e as diversas formas de violências perpetradas às vítimas na história não sejam esquecidas, ofuscadas e menosprezadas

Ablution is a great form of taharah so Sharia makes it a legal condition of prayer. The four schools have agreed on most problems related to ablution, such as its pillars, its obligations, its circumcision and its nullifiers, but they are also different in some ways. This study aims to find out the opinions of Shafi'i and Hanbali schools about ablution and things which invalidate it, as well as strong opinions of both. The scientific methods used to achieve results are inductive-deductive and comparison methods. The results showed that the things which invalidate it according to the Shafi'i school there are four things and according to the Hanbali school there are seven. Then there is the difference of opinion between the two schools in this matter on four points, namely: the feces coming out of the body as thing can invalidate the ablution, sleeping while sitting, touching women and eating camel meat. This research is expected to contribute in the field of comparative jurisprudence of schools, especially in the problem of nullifiers of ablution according to Shafi'i and Hanbali schools, and increasing knowledge in this matter.

ECONOMIC GROWTH VERSUS ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: AN ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL KUZNETS CURVE IN CASE OF INDIA
Authors: Dr. Sumedha Pandey
Published: October 2021

Economic growth became the buzzword for planners and policymakers after the great devastation of World War II. Every country, rich and poor was planning to achieve higher growth rate to reach the take-off stage (Rostow). In 1950s and early 1960s, economic growth and economic development were considered synonymous but later on, economic development acquired a wider meaning i.e., growth was associated with increase in goods and services while economic development included such important factors like education, health which impact quality of life. But even then, greater emphasis was on economic growth because right from Adam Smith to modern economists, growth was the basic condition of economic welfare. To achieve an ever-increasing growth, resources (natural and man-made) are/were continuously being exploited. But the question that became important here was whether this growth or in wider sense development, sustainable? With time, the form of resource use has changed from usage to exploitation negatively impacting the environment. Can this growth process be allowed at the cost of environmental degradation? So, concerns have been raised from time to time to address this issue. In this context, this paper analyses the impact of rising per capita income, population density and construction activities on carbon emissions (a proxy of environmental degradation) to check the applicability of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) in case of India. Results suggest a positive significant relation between the dependent variable and the independent variables, indicating towards the applicability of EKC in short-run in case of India, but not in the long-run.
