Monkeypox disease is caused by a virus that causes lesions on the skin and has been observed on the African continent in the past years. The fatal consequences caused by virus infections after the COVID pandemic have caused fear and panic among the public. As a result of COVID reaching the pandemic dimension, the development and implementation of rapid detection methods have become important. In this context, our study aims to detect monkeypox disease in case of a possible pandemic through skin

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has revolutionized Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) by interconnecting smart medical devices. These devices generate a large amount of data without human intervention. Learning-based sophisticated models are required to extract meaningful information from this massive surge of data. In this context, Deep Neural Network (DNN) has been proven to be a powerful tool for disease detection. Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is considered the leading cause of death disease, wit

With an increasing demand for complex and powerful system-on-chips, modern real-time automotive systems face significant challenges in managing on-chip-temperature. We demonstrate, via real experiments, the importance of accounting for dynamic ambient temperature and task-level power dissipation in resource management so as to meet both thermal and timing constraints. To address this problem, we propose RT-TRM, a real-time thermal-aware resource management framework. We first introduce a task-le

Internet of Things (IoT) allows the integration of the physical world with network devices for proper privacy and security in a healthcare system. IoT in a healthcare system is vulnerable to spoofing attacks that can easily represent themselves as a legal entity of the network. It is a passive attack and can access the Medium Access Control address of some valid users in the network to continue malicious activities. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed for detecting spoofing attacks in IoT us

As modern embedded systems like cars need high-power integrated CPUs--GPU SoCs for various real-time applications such as lane or pedestrian detection, they face greater thermal problems than before, which may, in turn, incur higher failure rate and cooling cost. We demonstrate, via experimentation on a representative CPUs--GPU platform, the importance of accounting for two distinct thermal characteristics—the platform’s temperature imbalance and different power dissipations of different tasks —

The Punjab region of Pakistan faced significant losses from flash flooding in 2010 and experienced a multiyear drought during 1998–2002. The current study illustrates the drought and flood conditions using the multi-satellite data products derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) as well as the TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) satellites with high-quality resolution in the region of Punjab during 2010–

Mobile apps suffer large performance degradation when the underlying processors are throttled to cool down the devices. Fans or heat sinks are not a viable option for mobile devices, thus calling for a new portable cooling solution. Thermoelectric coolers are scalable and controllable cooling devices that can be embedded into mobile devices on the chip surface. This paper presents a thermoelectric cooling solution that enables efficient processor thermal management in mobile devices. Our goal is

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) presents a significant concern among diabetic patients, often leading to vision impairment or blindness if left untreated. Traditional diagnosis methods are prone to human error, necessitating accurate alternatives. While various computer-aided systems have been developed to assist in DR detection, there remains a need for accurate and efficient methods to classify its stages. In this study, we propose a novel approach utilizing enhanced stacked auto-encoders for the de

Over the last five decades, Pakistan experienced its worst drought from 1998 to 2002 and its worst flood in 2010. This study determined the record-breaking impacts of the droughts (1998–2002) and the flood (2010) and analyzed the given 12-year period, especially the follow-on period when the winter wheat crop was grown. We identified the drought, flood, and warm and cold edges over the plain of Punjab Pakistan based on a 12-year time series (2003–2014), using the vegetation temperature condition

Many users have reported that their smartphones shut off unexpectedly, even when they show >30% remaining battery capacity. After examining the problem from both the user and phone sides, we discovered the cause of these unexpected shutoffs to be a large and dynamic internal voltage drop of the phone battery, which is, in turn, caused by the dynamics of both battery's internal resistance and the phone's discharge current. To fix these unexpected shutoffs, we design a novel Battery-aware Power Ma

Component-based software development (CBSD) is a difficult method for creating complicated products or systems. In CBSD, multiple components are used to construct software or a product. A complex system or program can be created with CBSD quickly and with money while maintaining excellent quality and security. On the other hand, this research will persuade outsourced vendor companies to embrace CBSD approaches for component software development. We conducted a systemic literature review (SLR) to
