Metrological traceability of the breath alcohol measurements
Authors: Rozhnov Mykhailo , Petryshyn Petro , Levbarg Ovsiy
Published: June 2022

Breath alcohol measurements are widely used worldwide to detect the presence of alcohol in the human body. For those measurements, different metrological traceability chains are used, both in the international normative documents and at the national level. Different measurement standards used to calibrate breath analysers reproduce different quantities: on the one hand, an «actual» ethanol mass concentration, and, on the other hand, the operationally defined «ethanol mass concentration by Dubowski (or Harger)». This makes the comparability of the breath alcohol measurements questionable. According to various studies, the discrepancy between the operationally defined quantity and the concentration not related to the empirical interphase distribution coefficients, lays within (1-2) %, although there is also an evidence of a larger deviation. It is possible to construct a common metrological traceability chain by using reference gas mixtures in cylinders and dynamic gas mixture generators based on the principles not related to empirical equations, as well as determining more accurately the interphase distribution coefficient and evaluating its uncertainty. SE «Ukrmetrteststandart» possesses internationally recognised calibration and measurement capabilities for measuring ethanol concentration and producing reference materials: calibration gas mixtures of ethanol with nitrogen or air in cylinders and reference aqueous solutions of ethanol that provide metrological traceability for the breath alcohol measurements.

Published: June 2022

Microbial biofilms defined as extremely complex ecosystems are considered clinically important for humans. However, the concept and significant roles of microbial biofilms in the progression of disease have seriously lagged in veterinary medicine, when compared with human medicine. Although the importance of biofilms in animal health is just beginning to emerge, limited studies have paid attention that microbial biofilms are clinically important in the field of veterinary medicine, and lead to serious economic losses. In this review, the importance of microbial biofilms causing high economic losses in the livestock industry has been highlighted. Besides, the concept of microbial biofilm, their role in the pathogenesis of the animal diseases, as well as diagnosis approaches and possible therapeutic strategies needed to overcome their detrimental effects in veterinary medicine, have been discussed.

Published: June 2022

Waduk Setiabudi Barat terletak di pusat kota Jakarta dengan luas waduk 4 ha dan luas daerah layanan Â±170 ha. Waduk Setiabudi Barat ini termasuk dalam jenis waduk banjir, yang pengoperasiannya mengunakan pompa, atau lebih dikenal dengan waduk sistem polder. Fungsi dari suatu waduk banjir adalah menampung sebagian aliran banjir dan memperkecil puncak banjir pada suatu wilayah agar tidak terjadi genangan/banjir. Selain itu juga Waduk Setiabudi Barat ini berfungsi menampung air dari perumahan dan perkantoran untuk memindahkan air ke banjir kanal. Waduk Setiabudi Barat ini telah dibangun sejak tahun 1982, tetapi setelah 23 tahun waduk ini melayani daerah yang berkembang dengan banyaknya gedung-gedung perkantoran, pusat bisnis, perdagangan, dan hotel, maka dari itu diperlukan suatu perhitungan ulang kembali volume Waduk Setiabudi Barat ini. Setiabudi Barat yang dihitung berdasarkan periode ulang tertentu. Waduk ini mengunakan 7 pompa dalam pengoperasiannya, terdiri dari 5 pompa dengan kapasitas masing-masing 1.1 mÂ³/det dan 2 pompa dengan kapasitas masing-masing 1.7 mÂ³/det yang baru dioperasikan pada tahun 2005 ini. Data yang digunakan dalam pembuatan skripsi ini adalah data curah hujan dari BMG, data komponen waduk, data denah lokasi. Tujuan dari pemodelan ini adalah untuk mendapatkan gambaran pendekatan kondisi eksisting dan mengetahui kondisi tampungan waduk apakah melebihi kapasitas ataupun mencukupi kapasitas dengan bantuan sebuah program komputer. Dengan pemodelan ini diharapkan agar mengetahui kondisi waduk ketika terjadi banjir maka akan dilakukan pemodelan ulang untuk alternatif penanggulangannya. Program komputer yang nantinya akan digunakan untuk pendekatan model hidrodinamik adalah aplikasi HEC-RAS 4.1.0.
PENGGUNAAN TANAH LIAT UNTUK MENGURANGI JUMLAH SEMEN PADA BETON GEOPOLIMER
Authors: Marino Gino , Setiyarto Y. Djoko
Published: June 2022

Perkembangan teknologi di bidang rekayasa struktur dan penggunaan beton semen sebagai salah satu alternatif bahan bangunan masih banyak digunakan. Hal ini karena bahan penyusun beton seperti semen, agregat, dan air mudah didapatkan. Akan tetapi, penggunaan semen banyak menimbulkan masalah, yaitu adanya gas karbondioksida (CO2) yang dilepaskan ke udara pada saat produksi semen yang dapat mengakibatkan pemanasan global. Banyaknya gas karbondioksida sebanding dengan produksi semen tersebut (Davidovits, 1994), dapat dibayangkan semakin banyak semen dikonsumsi, maka semakin banyak pula gas karbondioksida yang di produksi. Hal inilah yang merupakan salah satu faktor pendorong ditemukannya bahan alternatif berupa beton geopolimer yang menggunakan berbagai bahan mineral alam seperti fly ash, tanah liat, dan lain-lain yang berfungsi sebagai bahan baku sintesis geopolimer. Tanah liat memiliki kandungan unsur kimia yang hampir sama dengan semen yaitu mengandung Alumunium (Al), Silika (Si), Besi Oksida (FeO) dan Magnesium Oksida (MgO) yang mempunyai peran penting dalam mempercepat proses pengikatan dan pengerasan pada beton. Namun berdasarkan hasil pengujian kuat tekan yang dilakukan pada umur beton 28 hari, pengurangan jumlah semen dengan geopolimer tidak memberikan hasil kuat tekan yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan beton konvensional, karena didalam unsur kimia tanah liat tidak terdapat unsur Kalsium (CaO) yang membentuk kekuatan beton geopolimer.

Published: June 2022

kemampuan dalam menahan gaya tekan, namun memiliki kuat tarik yang rendah. Beton adalah salah satu bahan konstruksi yang cukup sering digunakan pada jalan, jembatan, bendungan, gedung, rumah, dan lain – lain. Untuk memperoleh kekuatan optimal dari beton dibutuhkan waktu 28 hari. Tujuan penggunaan Zat Epoxy pada penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui daya rekat epoxy terhadap beton segar (ibeton normali) dengan campuran agregat beton di dalamnya. Pada penelitian ini variasi yang digunakan adalah beton normal, beton dengan campuran Zat Epoxy sebanyak 0,3%, 0,5% dan 0,8% dari berat keseluruhan semen dengan kuat tekan rencana sebesar 20MPa. Benda uji yang dipakai pada penelitian ini adalah silinder berdiameter 15 cm dan tinggi 30 cm untuk pengujian kuat tekan, yang dilakukan pada saat beton berumur 1 hari, 3 hari, 7 hari, 14 hari dan 28 hari. Untuk nilai kuat tekan maksimum pada beton normal dicapai pada hari ke 28 dengan nilai kuat tekan 26,4 MPa, dan untuk nilai kuat tekan beton pada beton epoxy dicapai lebih tinggi pada hari ke 28 juga untuk beton epoxy 0,3% sebesar 20,58MPa. Untuk hasil paling kecil dari kedua perbandingan tersebut untuk beton normal ada di 1 hari yang berkekuatan 4,24 MPa. Dan untuk beton epoxy yang terendah adalah 2,08 MPa pada 1 hari di 0,8%. Tapi dengan hipotesa penelitian ini, ditujukan bahwa menggunnakan zat epoxy akan banyak berpengaruh pada kekuatan beton, contohnya di 3 hari beton epoxy 0,8% beton sudah mencapai kuat tekan maksimumnya sebesar 19,64 MPa. Sedangkan beton normal butuh waktu 28 hari untuk mencapai hasil maksimumnya.

Terminology of Theatre: Objectives and Methods of Research
Authors: Klekovkin O.
Published: June 2022

The paper summarizes the practical experience and observations ofthe author that were accumulated in the process of decades-long research of theterminology of theatre and assembling the theatre terminology dictionaries.From the theoretical viewpoint, it is an attempt to implement the ideas of«uncovering the language» and its inherent social phenomena. This ideasimultaneously emerged in the minds of the two most influential authors of thetwentieth century—Ludwig Wittgenstein (language games) and Bertolt Brecht(Verfremdungseffekt, an estrangement effect). Each of them uses these ideas toaddress different tasks—theoretical and artistic ones—nevertheless, they havethe same aim (despite varying fields of application). That is, determining thevalue of language (objectivity and potential risks of manipulation), i. e. the termsand systems of terms, on the basis of which theatre studies (or, in a broaderscope, art studies and some part of the humanities) solve its tasks.

Authors: Adaramola Ojo Jayeola , Olasina Jamiu Rotimi
Published: June 2022

ZigBee technology adaptation and use is an emerging wireless communication technology with low power consumption and long battery life. These technology applications include controlling industrial systems, automating home systems, embedded sensing, and many more. Due to ZigBee's low bit rate and low transmission rate, it is necessary to investigate how ZigBee will perform in a heterogeneous situation using a simulation approach. This paper goes on to describe the design and modelling of mobile ZigBee networks with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 nodes to evaluate and compare the performance of this wireless sensor network for star topology networks over time. For the resourceful operation of WSN, mobile ZigBee networks with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25-star topologies were considered. Certain network parameters such as throughput (bits/sec), delay (sec), end-to-end delay (sec), traffic sent (bits/sec), and traffic received (bits/sec) were explored and compared for smooth WSN operation when ZigBee communication protocol was used and modelled with the OPNET simulator. After evaluating all of the required parameters for various scenarios, an acceptable result was obtained for the mobile ZigBee WSN.
Effect Of Increasing Node Density On Performance Of Threshold-Sensitive Stable Election Protocol
Authors: Muoghalu C. N. , Achebe P. N. , Aigbodioh F. A.
Published: June 2022

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become an interesting field of research even as its technology is being used largely in Internet of Things (IoTs) and many areas of human endeavour such as civil surveillance, medical diagnosis and so on. This has attracted several research interest including improving the routing and energy efficiency of the sensor nodes in the network to prolong the life of the nodes and the entire system robustness. Hence, many routing protocols have been proposed to improve sensor networks. Nevertheless, most of the proposed protocols are implemented with just some 50 to 100 sensor nodes without considering the efficiency or effectiveness of these protocols in terms of increasing number of nodes per sensor network area (field). In this paper, the effect of increasing node density on performance of Threshold-sensitive Stable Election Protocol (TSEP) is presented. The number of nodes in sensor network of (100 × 100) square metre area was varied from 50, 100, 500, and 1000. The simulation study revealed that increasing the node density increased the number of node alive and throughput performance of TSEP. However, this came with a price as the simulation time was prolonged and the computational complexity increased. Generally, the essential take away or contribution of this paper was to examine the effectiveness of TSEP as the number of nodes per field (or area) in the network is increased, and the simulations conducted revealed that the performance efficiency of the routing protocol drops in terms of computational flexibility and capacity as the node density increases.

Published: June 2022

In the Cloud Computing, the migration mechanism can provide services, computing jobs and resources moved from a virtual environment to another virtual environment, and service providers can fit out their logic network architectures to offer services for user requirements. The network live migration across the different networks is a big challenge of the migration mechanism. In the paper, logical network architecture was proposed to provide the Cloud Computing in a hybrid network environment. The logical network concept, tunnel technology, domain name service and some existing network protocols were integrated into the proposed mechanism to provide network live migration across the different networks. The proposed mechanism implemented based on Open vSwitch and XEN. In our experimental results, we confirm that the proposed mechanism can provide network live migration across the different networks, and the network service will not be break. The performance evaluations also show that the proposed architecture can better than the NEMO solution.

Criminality and crime control measures in selected train stations in Lagos, Nigeria
Authors: Ojedokun Usman , Adeoti Grace
Published: June 2022

Crime is among the major problems negatively impacting the effective operation of the rail transportation system in Nigeria. Although considerable scholarly attention has been devoted to criminality in public transit stations, there is a paucity of empirical data on the occurrence of the problem within train station facilities. Thus, using routine activity theory as a guide, this study investigated criminality and crime control measures in selected train stations in Lagos, Nigeria. In-depth interview and key informant interview methods were primarily deployed to gather data from 20 train station officials and eight locomotive drivers selected using purposive sampling technique. Results showed that vandalism, pilfering of train station equipment, rooftop riding and ticket evasion were the most commonly recorded forms of crime in train stations in Lagos. Multiple situational and environmental factors, including the presence of abandoned equipment, lax security systems, the construction of train stations in residential neighbourhoods, and poorly illuminated environments were making train stations vulnerable to criminality. It is imperative for the Nigeria Railway Corporation to strengthen existing security architecture at train stations to effectively deter motivated offenders from viewing the public transportation hub as suitable sites for crime perpetration.

Robots have been used in neural rehabilitation. As the development of rehabilitation robots has progressed, the functions and designs of robots become to meet the clinical demands. In Taiwan, the proportion of patients and therapists is high. However, rehabilitation with robots is not widespread in Taiwan. By observing the result of a formative test of a novel rehabilitation robot, the reason for that was investigated. For the investigation, interviews were performed to understand the usability, functions applicability, and ease of use of the robot in rehabilitation. For usability, therapists expected safety for the patient with the robot, and other patients, therapists, and caretakers in the open treatment room. Therapists demanded assisting and training modes, visual and audio feedback, and increasing range of motion of internal and external rotation of shoulder for functions applicability. As for the ease of use, robot operation needs to be simple and fast and give clear standards about the operation for daily operation in treatment rooms. The study result shows humanistic design and glocalization also influence the willingness to use rehabilitation robots except for efficacy-related functions.

Authors: Aliffiro Naufal Muhammad , Muklason Ahmad
Published: June 2022

Kesehatan merupakan sektor yang sangat penting dan mendapatkan perhatian besar oleh Pemerintah. Sektor tersebut sangat potensial untuk diintegrasikan dengan teknologi informasi. Salah satu program kesehatan yang telah dibentuk oleh Pemerintah adalah Program Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak (KIA). Dalam program tersebut mencakup pelayanan dan pemeliharaan mulai dari ibu hamil, ibu bersalin, ibu menyusui, bayi dan anak balita hingga prasekolah. Namun, dalam pelaksanaan program tersebut terdapat beberapa kelemahan, di antaranya adalah proses pelaksanaannya yang masih manual menggunakan buku KIA yang menyebabkan proses tersebut kurang efektif dan efisien. Padahal pelaksanaan program tersebut dapat dimaksimalkan dengan pemanfaatan teknologi informasi, di antaranya yaitu dengan bantuan aplikasi. Terdapat banyak penelitian sebelumnya yang mencoba mengatasi permasalahan ini dengan membuat aplikasi. Namun dari semua aplikasi tersebut hanya berfokus pada aspek pertumbuhan bayi dan penyediaan informasi seputar kesehatan ibu maupun anak. Padahal, terdapat aspek lain yang juga perlu diperhatikan terkait pemantauan kesehatan ibu dan anak. Aspek tersebut di antaranya adalah aspek perkembangan bayi. Perkembangan bayi merupakan faktor penting dalam melakukan penilaian penyimpangan tumbuh kembang anak. Selain itu, berbagai aplikasi tersebut juga belum terdapat penggabungan dengan sistem cerdas atau Intelligence System menjadi sebuah Healthcare Intelligence System, misalnya dengan adanya fitur peringatan dini terkait kesehatan ibu dan anak jika terjadi penyimpangan. Sehingga pemanfaatan teknologi informasi dapat secara optimal diimplementasikan untuk pemantauan kesehatan ibu dan anak. Namun dalam pembuatan Healthcare Intelligence System tersebut, diperlukan data masukan yang nantinya akan diolah menggunakan algoritma maupun fitur-fitur yang ada di dalamnya. Maka dari itu penting untuk dibuat terlebih dahulu aplikasi yang berisi modul input data untuk data-data yang berkaitan dengan pemantauan kesehatan ibu dan anak mulai dari aspek pertumbuhan hingga perkembangan. Dalam pengembangan aplikasi tersebut digunakan metode Software Development Life Cycle yang berjenis Waterfall. Fokus dari penelitian ini adalah membuat aplikasi frontend. Proses pengujian purwarupa aplikasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode Usability Testing untuk memastikan aplikasi yang dihasilkan sudah sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Hasil yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini adalah aplikasi frontend Healthcare Intelligence System yang telah dilakukan Blackbox Testing. Aplikasi frontend ini sudah disesuaikan dengan data maupun parameter yang terdapat dalam prototype aplikasi. Aplikasi frontend ini juga sudah diintegrasikan dengan aplikasi backend dengan API yang telah dibuat. Dengan adanya sistem yang dirancang ini, baik ibu maupun bidan dapat melakukan pencatatan hingga melihat kondisi kesehatan ibu dan anak.

Published: June 2022

Dalam menjalankan fungsinya sebagai pengelola dan pengawas hutan, pegawai UPT KPH KTT dituntut untuk selalu memiliki mobilitas yang tinggi. Akan tetapi, mobilitas ini akan terganggu ketika manajemen pegawai dan kearsipan di UPT KPH KTT masih belum berjalan secara optimal. Apalagi jika manajemen pegawai dan kearsipan surat-menyurat masih dilakukan secara manual, maka berakibat penyampaian surat masuk maupun penerbitan surat tugas seringkali menjadi terhambat. Selain itu, surat yang direkap secara manual, akan menyulitkan administrasi surat dalam melakukan pencarian arsip surat yang dibutuhkan. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, maka penelitian ini mengusulkan untuk mengembangkan SIM-KSM (Sistem Informasi Manajemen dan Kearsipan Surat Menyurat) berbasis framework MVC (model-view-controller) CodeIgniter untuk UPT KPH KTT. Perancangan dalam pembuatan aplikasi ini menggunakan metode SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) dan diuji dengan pengujian kompabilitas, black-box, dan usabilitas untuk beberapa sampel responden. Hasil pengujian kompabilitas menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi ini dapat diakses pada berbagai jenis web browser pada PC/Laptop/smartphone. Hasil pengujian black-box menunjukkan bahwa alur kerja aplikasi bernilai valid untuk seluruh proses bisnis yang dirancang. Hasil pengujian usabilitas menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi ini berada pada kisaran grade B dengan nilai 81,2. Hasil ini menyimpulkan bahwa antarmuka dan proses bisnis pada aplikasi ini dapat bekerja dengan baik dan dapat digunakan oleh pengguna dengan mudah.

Towards the Optimal Antenna-Based Wireless Sensing Strategy: An Ice Sensing Case Study
Authors: Wagih Mahmoud , Shi Junjie
Published: June 2022

Remote ice detection has emerged as an application of Radio Frequency (RF) sensors. While antenna-based “RFID” sensing can detect various measurands, antenna-based sensors are not currently designed based on a systematic methodology, and in most cases may have a low sensitivity requiring specialist hardware or broadband interrogation signals, incompatible with spectrum regulations. Here, we develop a systematic methodology for designing an antenna-based sensor, applicable to measurands inducing a dielectric change in the near-field of the antenna. The proposed methodology is applied to designing printable antennas as highly-sensitive sensors for detecting and measuring the thickness of ice, demonstrating best-in-class sensory response compared to more complex antenna designs. Antenna design is investigated systematically for wireless interrogation in the 2.4 GHz band, where it is found that a loop antenna outperforms a dipole owing to its more distributed capacitance. The antenna’s realized gain was identified as the optimum parameter-under-test, with “positive” sensing proposed as a method of improving linearity and immunity to interference. The developed loop antenna sensor exhibits resilience to interference and applicability to different real-world deployment environments, demonstrated through over 80% average ice thickness measurement accuracy and at least 5 dB real-time sensitivity to ice deposition.
On the Performance of RIS-Assisted Communications with Direct Link over κ-µ Fading
Authors: Al-Dweik Arafat , Al-Rimawi Ashraf
Published: June 2022

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) is a new technology that can
be used to create a virtual line-of-sight (LOS) link when the direct link is
blocked. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be significantly improved by
optimizing the reflecting elements’ phases to make the reflected signals add
coherently at the receiver. Nevertheless, the RIS cannot control the phase of
the direct link if it exists. In such scenarios, the RIS phase can still be controlled
such that the direct and reflected signals add coherently, however, the gain
obtained by using the RIS might be hindered. Therefore, this paper considers
the performance analysis of such scenarios where a novel analytical framework
is developed to evaluate the SNR, outage probability and bit error rate (BER).
To capture a broad range of fading conditions, the channels are modeled as
independent but not identically distributed generalized κ-µ shadowed fading
channels. The Laguerre expansion is used to derive the probability density
function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the instantaneous
channel fading, which are used to derive the PDF and CDF of the instantaneous
SNR. The paper also considers deriving the asymptotic PDF, CDF, moment
generating function (MGF) of the SNR, as well as the outage probability and
BER. The derived expressions are used to evaluate the system performance in
various fading environments such as Rayleigh, One-Sided Gaussian, Nakagami-m , Rician, and Rician-shadowed distributions since they are special cases
of the κ-µ shadowed
distribution. The obtained analytical results corroborated by Monte Carlo
simulation show that a strong direct link can generally eliminate the gain
obtained using the RIS. Therefore, the overhead required for the RIS operation
becomes a burden on the network and may cause severe throughput degradation. In
such scenarios, the RIS involvement should dynamically controlled to avoid
unnecessary complexity and throughput reduction.
Indian Legal Text Summarization: A Text Normalisation-based Approach
Authors: Ghosh Satyajit , Dutta Mousumi , Das Tanaya
Published: June 2022

In the Indian court system, pending cases have long been a problem. There are more than 4 crore cases outstanding. Manually summarising hundreds of documents is a time-consuming and tedious task for legal stakeholders. Many state-of-the-art models for text summarization have emerged as machine learning has progressed. Domain-independent models don't do well with legal texts, and fine-tuning those models for the Indian Legal System is problematic due to a lack of publicly available datasets. To improve the performance of domain-independent models, the authors have proposed a methodology for normalising legal texts in the Indian context. The authors experimented with two state-of-the-art domain-independent models for legal text summarization, namely BART and PEGASUS. BART and PEGASUS are put through their paces in terms of extractive and abstractive summarization to understand the effectiveness of the text normalisation approach. Summarised texts are evaluated by domain experts on multiple parameters and using ROUGE metrics. It shows the proposed text normalisation approach is effective in legal texts with domain-independent models.
Clarke's Local Generalized Nash Equilibria with Nonconvex Coupling Constraints
Authors: Scarabaggio Paolo , Carli Raffaele , Grammatico Sergio , Dotoli Mariagrazia
Published: June 2022

We consider a class of Nash games with nonconvex coupling constraints where we leverage the theory of tangent cones to define a novel notion of local equilibrium: Clarke's local generalized Nash equilibrium (CL-GNE).

Our first technical contribution is to show the stability of these equilibria on a specific local subset of the original feasible set. 

As a second contribution, we show that the proposed notion of local equilibrium can be equivalently formulated as the solution of a quasi-variational inequality, remarkably, with equal Lagrange multipliers. 

Next, we define conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the CL-GNE. 

To compute such an equilibrium, we propose two discrete-time distributed dynamics, or fixed-point iterations. 

Our third technical contribution is to  prove convergence under (strongly) monotone assumptions on the pseudo-gradient mapping of the game. 

Finally, we apply our theoretical results to a competitive version of the optimal power flow control problem.

A Top-Down Survey on Optical Wireless Communications for the Internet of Things
Authors: Celik Abdulkadir , Romdhane Imene , Kaddoum Georges , Eltawil Ahmed
Published: June 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a transformative technology marking the beginning of a new era where physical and digital worlds are integrated by connecting a plethora of uniquely identifiable smart objects. Although the Internet of terrestrial things (IoTT) has been at the center of our IoT perception, it has been recently extended to different environments, such as the Internet of underWater things (IoWT), the Internet of Biomedical things (IoBT), and Internet of underGround things (IoGT). Even though radio frequency (RF) based wireless networks are regarded as the default means of connectivity, they are not always the best option due to the limited spectrum, interference limitations caused by the ever-increasing number of devices, and severe propagation loss in transmission mediums other than air. As a remedy, optical wireless communication (OWC) technologies can complement, replace, or co-exist with audio and radio wave-based wireless systems to improve overall network performance. To this aim, this paper reveals the full potential of OWC-based IoT networks by providing a top-down survey of four main IoT domains: IoTT, IoBT, and IoGT. Each domain is covered by a dedicated and self-contained section that starts with a comparative analysis, explains how OWC can be hybridized with existing wireless technologies, points out potential OWC applications fitting best the related IoT domain, and discusses open communication and networking research problems. More importantly, instead of presenting a visionary OWC-IoT framework, the survey discloses that OWC-IoT has become a reality by emphasizing ongoing proof-of-concept prototyping efforts and available commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) OWC-IoT products.
Adversarial Patch Attacks and Defences in Vision-Based Tasks: A Survey
Authors: Sharma Abhijith , Bian Yijun , Munz Phil , Narayan Apurva
Published: June 2022

Adversarial attacks in deep learning models, especially for safety-critical systems, are gaining more and more attention in recent years, due to the lack of trust in the security and robustness of AI models. Yet the more primitive adversarial attacks might be physically infeasible or require some resources that are hard to access like the training data, which motivated the emergence of patch attacks. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview to cover existing techniques of adversarial patch attacks, aiming to help interested researchers quickly catch up with the progress in this field. We also discuss existing techniques for developing detection and defences against adversarial patches, aiming to help the community better understand this field and its applications in the real world.
