    Abstract Beach hazards would be any occurrences potentially endanger individuals as well as their activity. Rip current, or reverse current of the sea, is a type of wave that pushes against the shore and moves in the opposite direction, that is, towards the deep sea. The management of access to the beach sometimes accidentally push unwary beachgoers forward into rip-prone regions, increasing the probability of a drowning on that beach. The research suggests an approach for something like the automatic detection of rip currents with waves crashing based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) and machine learning algorithms (MLAs) for classification. Several individuals are unable to identify rip currents in order to prevent them. In addition, the absence of evidence to aid in training and validating hazardous systems hinders attempts to predict rip currents. Security cameras and mobile phones have still images of something like the shore pervasive and represent a possible cause of rip current measurements and management to handle this hazards accordingly. This work deals with developing detection systems from still beach images, bathymetric images, and beach parameters using CNN and MLAs. The detection model based on CNN for the input features of beach images and bathymetric images has been implemented. MLAs have been applied to detect rip currents based on beach parameters. When compared to other detection models, bathymetric image-based detection models have significantly higher accuracy and precision. The VGG16 model of CNN shows maximum accuracy of 91.13% (Recall = 0.94, F1-score = 0.87) for beach images. For the bathymetric images, the highest performance has been found with an accuracy of 96.89% (Recall= 0.97, F1-score=0.92) for the DenseNet model of CNN. The MLA-based model shows an accuracy of 86.98% (Recall=0.89, F1-score= 0.90) for random forest classifier. Once we know about the potential zone of rip current continuosly generating rip current, then the coastal region can be managed accordingly to prevent the ...

    Abstract Advances in information technology have dramatically enhanced mobile phones. Power capacity is one of the most significant limitations of a mobile phone. As a result, efficient energy management in such devices is critical everywhere. The goal of this research is to find a way to charge electronic devices wirelessly using radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) waves (Rectenna using energy detection-based spectrum sensing). Mechanical deformations cause frequency detuning, which lowers the effectiveness of antennas and rectennas that would otherwise allow wireless communication and RF energy harvesting in the far field. A rectenna based on a stretchable multiband antenna is designed as a self-powered system to perform reliably and integrate RF power received across its multiband despite mechanical deformations. Depending on what the battery needs, the proposed multiband antenna will work at 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2.45 GHz as both an RF transducer and an RF energy harvester. Depending on the received RF power density (high), the receiving RF wave will be utilized for both communication and RF energy harvesting (RF-EH) when the battery's current voltage is less than 20% (referred to as “low voltage”). Otherwise, the received RF wave will be used only for RF-EH. The installed multiband rectifiers function perfectly in terms of efficiency and bandwidth. This proposed technique would reduce the charging crisis by 60–90% depending on the location of the mobile phone or receiver of ambient EM signals. This paper could help researchers in the field of RF energy-based wireless charging systems.

    Abstract The edgeR (Robust) is a popular approach for identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from RNA-Seq profiles. However, it shows weak performance against gene-specific outliers and is unable to handle missing observations. To address these issues, we proposed a pre-processing approach of RNA-Seq count data by combining the iLOO-based outlier detection and random forest-based missing imputation approach for boosting the performance of edgeR (Robust). Both simulation and real RNA-Seq count data analysis results showed that the proposed edgeR (Robust) outperformed than the conventional edgeR (Robust). To investigate the effectiveness of identified DEGs for diagnosis, and therapies of ovarian cancer (OC), we selected top-ranked 12 DEGs (IL6, XCL1, CXCL8, C1QC, C1QB, SNAI2, TYROBP, COL1A2, SNAP25, NTS, CXCL2, and AGT) and suggested hub-DEGs guided top-ranked 10 candidate drug-molecules for the treatment against OC. Hence, our proposed procedure might be an effective computational tool for exploring potential DEGs from RNA-Seq profiles for diagnosis and therapies of any disease.

    Abstract Soil parameters are crucial aspects in increasing agricultural production. Even though Bangladesh is heavily dependent on agriculture, little research has been done regarding its automation. And a vital aspect of agricultural automation is predicting soil parameters. Generally, sensors relating to soil parameters are quite expensive and are often done in a controlled environment such as a greenhouse. However, a large scale implementation of such expensive sensors is not very feasible. This work tries to find an inexpensive solution towards predicting soil parameters such as soil moisture and temperature, both of which are crucial to the growth of crops. We focus on finding a robust relation between the above mentioned soil parameters with the nearby weather parameters such as humidity and temperature, irrespective of the weather. We apply different machine learning models like multilayer perceptron (MLP), random forest, etc. to predict the soil parameters, given the humidity and temperature of the surrounding environment. For all the experiments we have used a custom made dataset, which contains around 9000 datapoints of soil moisture & temperature, ambient humidity & temperature. The data has been collected in an uncontrolled agriculture bed via inexpensive sensors. Our results show that XGBoost regressor achieves the best results with an R

    Abstract The study has focused on the condition of children in the community, initiatives of tertiary sociology students for successful engagement, changes of the slum-dwelling children, and attainment of graduate and professional skills. A mixed-method of social survey, FGDs (Focus Group Discussion), and participant observation with close and open-ended questionnaires, face-to-face interviews, checklists, and Likert scale techniques have been used to collect primary data. The findings of the study show that students’ engagement helps to meet children’s educational, socialization, health care, and co-curricular needs and rights and some other needs of community people. It brings benefits for engaged students building stronger relations with graduate institutions, different organizations, and job providers, and attaining several graduate and professional skills, and abilities to become successful in personal and professional life.

    Abstract Conventional private data publication mechanisms aim to retain as much data utility as possible while ensuring sufficient privacy protection on sensitive data. Such data publication schemes implicitly assume that all data analysts and users have the same data access privilege levels. However, it is not applicable for the scenario that data users often have different levels of access to the same data, or different requirements of data utility. The multi-level privacy requirements for different authorization levels pose new challenges for private data publication. Traditional PPDP mechanisms only publish one perturbed and private data copy satisfying some privacy guarantee to provide relatively accurate analysis results. To find a good tradeoff between privacy preservation level and data utility itself is a hard problem, let alone achieving multi-level data utility on this basis. In this paper, we address this challenge in proposing a novel framework of data publication with compressive sensing supporting multi-level utility-privacy tradeoffs, which provides differential privacy. Specifically, we resort to compressive sensing (CS) method to project a n-dimensional vector representation of users’ data to a lower m-dimensional space, and then add deliberately designed noise to satisfy differential privacy. Then, we selectively obfuscate the measurement vector under compressive sensing by adding linearly encoded noise, and provide different data reconstruction algorithms for users with different authorization levels. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that ML-DPCS yields multi-level of data utility for specific users at different authorization levels.

    Abstract Background: Studies found that the group of men who have sex with men (MSM) is at a very high level of risk of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Asian regions due to multiple reasons. Although the prevalence of HIV among general people in Asia is considered low, the prevalence of HIV and Syphilis among MSM in this region was found very high and usually, it goes unnoticed. This study aimed to inspect the prevalence of and trends in HIV, Syphilis, and their co-infection among MSM in Asia. Methods: A systematic search was performed on January 5, 2021, in PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. To evaluate the heterogeneity, Q-tests, and I2 were used. To explore the publication bias, Eggers' test and funnel plot were used. The random-effect model and subgroup analysis were performed due to the significant heterogeneity. Results: A total of 2872 articles were identified, and 66 articles were included in the final analysis. The overall prevalence of HIV and Syphilis among MSM was estimated considering 69 estimates from 66 studies whereas 19 estimates of co-infection were found in 17 studies. The pooled HIV prevalence was 8.48% (CI: 7.01–9.95) and the pooled Syphilis prevalence was 9.86% (CI: 8.30–11.41) with significant heterogeneity and publication bias. The pooled prevalence of HIV and Syphilis co-infection was 2.99% (CI: 1.70–4.27) with significant heterogeneity and no publication bias. The HIV, Syphilis, and HIV-Syphilis co-infection prevalence estimates exhibited an upward trend during 2002–2017. Conclusions: HIV, Syphilis, and their co-infection are quite prevalent among MSM in the Asia-Pacific region. Integrated and intensified intervention strategies, HIV testing, and improved access to antiretroviral treatment as well as increased awareness are needed to reduce HIV, Syphilis, and their co-infection among the discussed vulnerable group.

    Abstract Study Design This was designed as a randomized double blind study to compare the classical Magerl technique of insertion of lateral mass screws with the authors’ technique. The observations regarding length, outcome, and radiology was done by a group blinded to the technique used. Purpose The present study was designed with the objective of identifying the optimal technique for introducing the lateral mass screws that uses the maximum possible dimension of the lateral mass. Overview of Literature Lateral mass screw fixation is a common surgery that is performed in the cervical spine. Various modifications for the procedure have been described, such as changes in the entry point, angulation of the screws, and modifications in the exit point. These do not allow the insertion of longer screws that can give more purchase on the bone. Methods From January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018, 176 patients who were scheduled to undergo lateral mass screw fixation were enrolled. They were randomized into two groups; we inserted lateral mass screws using our new technique for one group and by using the classical Magerl technique for the other group. Intraoperative measurements were used to assess the bone-screw interface length. Postoperative radiography and postoperative computed tomography were performed to assess the trajectory of the screws. Results Total 88 patients were included in the study group, including 68 men. The control group included 65 men. The most common indication for surgery was cervical spondylotic myelopathy. The average bi-cortical length that was measured intraoperatively was 19.9 mm in the study group and 16.3 mm in the control group. This was significantly different from the average lengths of screws in the control group. Conclusions The trajectory that involves an entry point as close as possible to the posterior inferior medial angle of the lateral mass cuboid and traverses a distance of about 20 mm to obtain a bi-cortical purchase in the diagonally opposite angle may provide a much better and firmer ...
