Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a viral disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The spread of COVID-19 seems to have detrimental effect on the global economy and health. A positive chest X-ray infected patients crucial step in battle against COVID-19. Early results suggest that abnormalities exist X-rays suggestive This has led introduction variety deep learning systems studies shown accuracy patient detection through use strongly optimistic. Deep networks...
Social Internet of Things (SIoT) supports many novel applications and networking services for the IoT in a more powerful productive way. In this paper, we have introduced hierarchical framework feature extraction SIoT big data using map-reduced along with supervised classifier model. Moreover, Gabor filter is used to reduce noise unwanted from database, Hadoop Map Reduce has been mapping reducing databases, improve efficiency proposed work. Furthermore, selection performed on filtered set by...
Demand Response (DR) aims to motivate end consumers change their energy consumption patterns in response changes electricity prices or when the reliability of electrical power system (EPS) is compromised. Most proposals found literature only aim at reducing cost for consumers. However, this article proposes a home management (HEMS) that schedule use each appliance based on price real-time (RTP) and consumer satisfaction/comfort level order guarantee stability safety EPS. Thus, paper presents...
Sites for web-based shopping are winding up increasingly famous these days. Organizations anxious to think about their client purchasing conduct build item deal. Internet is a method powerful exchange among cash and merchandise which finished by end clients without investing huge energy spam. The goal of this paper dissect the high-recommendation business sites with help collection strategy swarm-based improvement system. At first, surveys items from locales few features were gathered and,...
Cerebral palsy is a severe condition usually caused by decreased brain oxygenation during pregnancy, at birth or soon after birth. Conventional treatments for cerebral are often tiresome and expensive, leading patients to quit treatment. In this paper, we describe virtual environment engage in playful therapeutic game neuropsychomotor rehabilitation, based on the experience of occupational therapy program Nucleus Integrated Medical Assistance (NAMI) University Fortaleza, Brazil. Integration...
Abstract Agile methodologies, in particular the framework SCRUM, are popular software development companies. Most of time, however, it is not feasible for these companies to apply every characteristic framework. This paper presents a hybrid application verbal decision analysis methodologies order select some most relevant SCRUM approaches be applied by company. A questionnaire was developed and group experienced ScrumMasters selected answer it, aiming at characterizing approach into criteria...
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disease that usually manifests psychotic symptoms and affects an individual’s functionality. The stigma related to this serious obstacle for adequate approach its treatment. Stigma can, example, delay the start of treatment, it creates difficulties in interpersonal professional relationships. This work proposes new tool based on augmented reality reduce schizophrenia. capable simulating typical schizophrenia simulates sense perception changes order create...
This article presents a random-key genetic algorithm (RKGA) for the nesting problem, particular case of cutting and packing problems in which collection items (or polygons) has to be packed onto rectangular object with aim minimising its length. In general, our approach prescribes integration aforementioned metaheuristic well-known placement rules (e.g. bottom-left). Furthermore, shrinking – that operates within RKGA is also proposed improve partial solutions. To assess potentials...
Incalculable numbers of patients in hospitals as a result COVID-19 made the screening heart arduous. Patients who need regular monitoring were affected most. Telecardiology is used for remote such patients. However, resultant huge electrocardiogram (ECG) data obtained through affects available storage space and transmission bandwidth. These signals can take less if stored or sent compressed form. To recover them at receiver end, they are decompressed. We have combined telecardiology with...
This study considers the construction of a multicriteria model to assist in diagnosis Alzheimer's disease. disease is considered most frequent dementias and it responsible for about 50% cases. Due this fact therapeutical limitations advanced stage disease, extremely important can provide better life conditions patients their families. The main focus work develop aiding decision making using Bayesian networks as modeling tool. In work, evaluation processes have been conducted with aid medical...
The efficient and safe management of air conditioner (AC), Piped Natural Gas (PNG) water pipelines in large buildings is a major challenge for the safety these buildings. In recent years, Linear Wireless Sensor Networks (LWSN) are being used extensively monitoring long natural gas, water, oil pipelines. LWSNs can also be AC, PNG this paper, scheme optimal placement sensors base stations linear fashion to monitor various has been proposed. proposed utilizes Lion Optimization Algorithm (LOA)...
Decision-making is a human behavior aiming at the selection of an alternative from groups real alternatives. Breast Cancer top cancer woman both in developed and developing world, furthermore breast second most frequent cause death for women United States as well Asia. Moreover, early diagnosis vital to treatment with better chance success. Multiple variables are involved process diagnosis. This study aims use Hybrid model support cancer. We have proposed utilization hybrid structured...
The irregular strip packing problem (ISPP) is a class of cutting and (C&P) in which set items with arbitrary formats must be placed container variable length. aim this work to minimize the area needed accommodate given demand. ISPP present various types industries from manufacturers exporters (e.g., shipbuilding, clothes, glass). In paper, we propose parallel Biased Random‐Key Genetic Algorithm ( µ ‐BRKGA) multiple populations for by applying collision‐free region (CFR) concept as...
Abstract. This paper focuses on the importance of Geographical Digital Twins to increase renewable energy production in urban areas and cities for decarbonization reduction climate change impacts. The study demonstrates role interoperable geographical digital twins based Free Open-Source software geospatial technologies simulation, monitoring, management renewable-based systems. We simulated potential building-integrated building-attached solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation use...
Psychological disorders have kept away and incapacitated professionals in different sectors of activities. The most serious problems may be associated with various types pathologies, however, it appears, more often, as psychotic disorders, mood anxiety antisocial personality, multiple personality addiction, causing a micro level damage to the individual his/her family macro production system country welfare. lack early diagnosis has provided reactive measures, sometimes very late, when...
