Over recent decades, internet-based communication has grown exponentially, accompanied by a surge in cyber threats from malicious actors targeting users and organizations, heightening the demand for robust security privacy measures. With emergence of physical–digital environments based on Mixed Reality (MR) Metaverse, new cybersecurity, privacy, confidentiality challenges have surfaced, requiring innovative approaches. This work examines current landscape cybersecurity concerns MR Metaverse...
Defect detection is a key element of quality control in today’s industries, and the process requires incorporation automated methods, including image sensors, to detect any potential defects that may occur during manufacturing process. While there are various methods can be used for inspecting surfaces, such as those metal building materials, only limited number techniques specifically designed analyze specialized ceramics, which potentially reveal distinctive anomalies or characteristics...
The assessment of station designs by applying pedestrian flow simulation models is addressed. In particular, design issues pertain to the way access gates will affect operations in regard levels service, congestion levels, average walking times, delays incurred at gates, and so forth. Effects different system layouts are studied, as well difference between gate systems (low- high-capacity systems), processing passenger flows. Finally, case emergency situations interest. To examine those...
The world population is aging, all countries are experiencing an increase of elder population. pace aging in many developing substantially faster than the past. Consequently, these must adapt much more rapidly to this aging. Therapy and Physical activity helps improve health well-being elders, for it brings longevity improves quality life. Sport physical have been used as a tool technology has promote entertainment sport through digital games with wireless technology. Wii had positive impact...
The virtual reconstruction of heritage sites has been the focus many projects. These typically involve significant use manual techniques, and thus a great deal human effort to create structures. Also, often, there is not sufficient physical evidence recreate these structures precisely as they may have in past. To address issues domain specific modelling method for automatic generation presented this paper. guided by knowledge about construction rules structures, encoded formal grammar, be...
The increasing demand for larger and more complex virtual models arising from different areas (e.g. design of cities, video games computer animated movies) creates the need efficient algorithms able to generate them automatically. This paper presents a method automatic generation traversable houses, using architectural legal rules an L-system list interior rooms. is established with framework specifically conceived 2D floor plans 3D which allow multiple houses interactive navigation.
Bull rays (Pteromylaeus bovinus) and Dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus Coryphaena equiselis) were collected in Olhão (south of Portugal). These animals hosted multiple parasites, namely Caligus spp., underwent a variety treatments to remove them. Of all tested, hydrogen peroxide showed the best results, although only concentrations above 100 ppm effective parasite removal. high concentrations, however, proved be highly toxic for fish led loss some animals, especially those which had been...
Nowadays, there is a huge need for efficient tools to produce virtual models, mostly urban, in several areas such as architecture, movies, games, worlds and commercial applications.These models may be either generated "fictional" or reconstructed representing real world structures.This last option the motivation behind this paper past experience has shown us that, usually, it harder recreate existing than trying create new ones.The purpose of research here addressed deϐinition method...
The manual creation of virtual environments is a demanding and costly task. With the increasing demand for more complex models in different areas, such as design worlds, video games computer animated movies need to generate them automatically has become necessary than ever.This paper presents framework automatic generation houses based on architectural rules. This approach some innovating features, including implementation rules, produces 2D floor plans well complete 3D models, with high...
Every single instant a person generates large amount of information that somehow is lost. This can assume diversity means, such as an oral word, sneeze, increase in heartbeat or even facial expressions. We present model which promotes the well-being elderly their homes. The general idea behind every experience may mean something, and therefore be recorded, measured have adequate responses. There no device provides more natural interaction than human body one us, sends receives useful...
During the last two decades, many products, research projects and prototypes were announced with different characteristics capabilities, all adopting “smart” qualifier word. If a smartness property could not be defined simply as true or false, defining suitable range was an easy task. This issue led to proposal of some classification models, frameworks taxonomies for project classifications, but none them provide clear pragmatic scale able classify smart artifacts serve reference. paper aims...
Recent work on the virtual reconstruction of a Roman town is presented, in context issues like conserving, presenting and communicating that cultural heritage to general public. Re-constructions are developed using manual procedural techniques, with support efficient low-cost tools, internet for collaborative dissemination purposes. This paper also intends discuss extent scientific knowledge authenticity communicated products.
The rules defined by FFC, for marketing and operation of UWB products, permitted the use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to implement communications. MB-OFDM is taking place as good approach UWB, instance wireless USB. latest generations FPGAs, including DSP capabilities, embedded processors special features I/O streaming, are being efficiently used in high-data rate applications. Therefore, FPGAs can be technology implementation. This paper discusses implementation a...
Being the ancient cultural heritage structures and artefacts so full of detail relevance to studies related our past, it would be desirable have precise virtual replicas that could freely explored without endangering important pieces history. However, costs produce three-dimensional environments are sometimes discouraging, due significant cost some 3D authoring tools, time necessary manually models. This paper presents a low-cost alternative classic manual modelling process, towards...
e20081 Background: Standard NA immune checkpoint blockade for patients with resectable NSCLC targets PD1 only and must be combined platinum-based chemotherapy. In a randomized phase 2 study, ipi + nivo demonstrated greater immune-mediated efficacy compared to alone major pathologic response (MPR) 50% vs. 24%, Cascone T, et al. Nat Med. 2021;27(3):504-14). Preclinical clinical studies have that low doses of radiation enhance by multiple mechanisms (dsDNA breaks, induction STING, transcription...
Abstract Background On the 29th of April 2022 local Public Health unit was notified 12 cases acute gastroenteritis in residents a long-term care facility (LTCF). A joint epidemiological investigation team established and initiated an outbreak to characterize implement infection control measures. Methods Epidemiological questionnaires were administered staff (n = 44) 60). Case definition LTCF or members with at least one following symptoms: diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, between 25th May 14th,...
