This paper reports polymer-based apparatus with embedded flexible thin-film electrodes to monitor electrocardiogram (ECG) of zebrafish under mild or zero anesthesia. The apparatus were made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using the molding technique with molds formed by 3D printing. The system is capable of acquiring intrinsic ECG from multiple fish simultaneously, thus introducing a novel method to...
The ever-growing population of smartphone» connected to mobile networks is changing the cellular traffic ecosystem. The traffic volumes and patterns generated by smartphone apps pose complex challenges to cellular network operators, particularly in terms of detection and diagnosis of network anomalies caused by specific apps. The high-dimensionality of network data provided by current network monitoring...
The decline of the environmental situation in the world generates a need for regular drinking water quality monitoring as well as for the efficient nature management system development. An introduction to the concept of a fractal-synergetic approach to the procedure for conducting the environmental audit to support decision-making in the environmental management based on the virtual reality technology...
The article deals with the possibilities of applying mathematical modelling and post-optimization analysis in the strategic planning tasks including identifying and coordinating the targets for social and economic development and justifying the mechanisms for managing development programs. An approach is proposed to restore the structure of private targeted preferences of participants in state development...
Accurate and real-time water quality assessment is an important way to ensure healthy aquaculture and protect the water environment. Due to the diversity, nonlinear and uneven distribution of aquaculture water quality parameters, it's very difficulty to assess the water quality. In this paper, the accurate water quality parameters are obtained by an adaptive weighted fusion method, then the water...
There are different studies analyzing which are the aspects influencing the project success; this paper will focus on the project knowledge management and the sustainability in project management. As it is broadly accepted that these two fields impact directly on project success. There has been studied separately but in this case, there is going to analyze the combination of each of them. The model...
The existing methods for monitoring of technological processes are analyzed by means of software and hardware. Theoretical foundations of the proposed method of control over the parameters of quasi-stationary technological process are substantiated. Software interaction between the operator and intellectual sensor information system with a deep level of parallelization of computational processes is...
Cancer growth requires angiogenesis; imaging of angiogenesis may thus improve cancer diagnostics and therapy monitoring. Dynamic contrast enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US) permits imaging angiogenesis at the molecular level by using novel targeted ultrasound contrast agents (tUCA). These agents consist of functionalized microbubbles obtained by engineering the shell with targeting ligands able to bind...
Recent advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have stimulated the need for adaptation of new models of teaching and learning in educational institutions. Since the beginning, the use of technology in education has gained a lot of attention and has been applied to many areas in the academic domain. The introduction of ICT has motivated scholars to find out how various ICT tools...
WatchITGrow is a web-based application developed for potato monitoring in Belgium. The different components encompass a back-end with biophysical parameters derived from high resolution satellite imagery, agrometeorological algorithms, phenological development and crop models; and a front-end with dashboards to visualize spatio-temporal information and insert potato field information.
Finding parking at a desired spot and time is tough, especially in an urban area. Users may also want to pay more to get a parking spot during urgent need. Although the existing infrastructure-based approaches can solve this problem partially, they require a high initial investment and maintenance cost. As a consequence, deploying such approaches on a large scale in the real world is infeasible. A...
We observe that SmartGrids are an example of a crossover point where cyber-physical systems meet socio-technical systems. However, control of this crossover point, in the form of a peer-to-peer platform, is a contentious issue. We argue that if the platform is ‘closed’ it can lead to an asymmetry in the distribution of power and information that can inhibit successful collective action. Instead, an...
Although the area of surgical simulation has been the subject of study in recent years, it is still necessary to develop artificial experimental models with a perspective to dismiss the use of biological models. Since this makes the simulators more real, transferring the environment of the health professional to a physical or virtual reality, an anesthetic prototype has been developed, where the motor...
Market power and its possible abuse by market participants is one of the main issues in electricity trading and a lot of work is done on establishing trading rules for fair and transparent electricity market. The focus of this paper is to present market power detection techniques which have been proposed in literature with detail review of the tools which could be used in monitoring units of organised...
Smart Grids (SGs) are electrical power grid infrastructures that aim at managing both cyber and physical resources and provide efficient energy routing. The cyber part of the system encompasses computing and networking resources, whereas the physical part faces with mechanical and electrical processes. Due to the strong integration and interaction among cyber modules and physical components, the complexity...
This paper describes expert systems for the aquatic ecosystem diagnostics including its dynamics in the changing climate and detection of stressful situations when anthropogenic processes are realized in the sea basin. Expert system is based on the monitoring data processing and simulation results that are delivered by series models describing basic ecological, hydrological, hydrochemical and geophysical...
New information–modeling technology is developed, to be as a tool for the diagnostics of climate-nature-society system with the view of sustainable development strategies. The questions of environmental monitoring system synthesis are discussed with the use of different instrumental means. Complex of models and algorithms is listed to be as a base of information-modeling technology. Examples of simulation...
Water quality operative control is considered when chemical analysis is possible. In this paper, new information-instrumental technology is proposed. This technology is based on combined use of optical instrumental means and recognition algorithms of spectral images. Adaptive multi-functional system is proposed to be as tool for operative diagnosis of hydro-chemical processes. This system has two...
An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system-based partial least squares (ANFIS-PLS) method was proposed for monitoring nonlinear processes. The ANFIS was used as a predictor to represent the nonlinear relationship between input and output score variables in each inner loop of PLS, and fuzzy c-means clustering was employed to determine the number of fuzzy rules. Moreover, the hybrid learning algorithm...
In the process of large-scale chemical engineering, more useful industrial process information can be obtained by increasing measuring variables, defined as system features. However, the increase in amount of features will lead to the high computation cost and reduce the efficiency of the process monitoring system. To solve this issue, those features that are redundant or bring an incorrect result...
