With the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and tools, there have been some efforts in recent years to automate such monitoring. This can significantly benefit beekeepers as they can obtain critical data and insight into their hives' health and performance more regularly. In this paper, we use IoT devices and the Thingsboard dashboard to track the status of 28 honey beehives installed in the Western region of North Carolina as part of the Appalachian Multi-Apiary Informatics System (AppMAIS) project. In order to acquire data from a beehive, humidity and temperature sensors, as well as a microphone, have been placed inside the hives. In addition, a video camera has been placed at the top of the hive's entrance to obtain video recordings of the bees entering and leaving the hives, and a scale is placed under the hive to report the weight. The data collected from the sensors and peripherals installed in each of the AppMAIS hives are sent to the Thingsboard dashboard for management and visualization. In this paper, we report on our success with Thingsboard IoT tool to monitor honey beehives and take advantage of their capabilities to interact with the devices as needed to adjust operational parameters.} } @InProceedings{Reis2020, author="dos Reis, Alexandre Soares and Gielen, Elien and Wopereis, Ko and Pasternak, Marcel and Sooäär, Vaido and Schneider, Tobias and Duarte, Abel J. and Malheiro, Benedita and Justo, Jorge and Ribeiro, Cristina and Silva, Manuel F. and Ferreira, Paulo and Guedes, Pedro", editor="Silva, Manuel F. and Luís Lima, José and Reis, Luís Paulo and Sanfeliu, Alberto and Tardioli, Danilo", title="Smart Companion Pillow -- An EPS@ISEP 2019 Project", booktitle="Robot 2019: Fourth Iberian Robotics Conference", year="2020", publisher="Springer International Publishing", address="Cham", pages="465--476", abstract="This paper describes the design and development of a Smart Companion Pillow, named bGuard, designed by a multinational and multidisciplinary team enrolled in the European Project Semester (EPS) at Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP) in the spring of 2019.

Neem oil is a potential alternative fuel. The most detrimental properties of neem oils are its high viscosity and low volatility, and these cause several problems during their long duration usage in diesel engines.

Forty-two volunteers participated in our research who completed thirty successful (complete crossing) trials in blocks of ten trials for each crossing condition. For the two distracted conditions, pedestrians are engaged in a maze-solving game on a virtual smartphone, while at the same time checking the traffic for a safe crossing gap. For the proposed safety measure, smart flashing and color changing LED lights are simulated on the crosswalk to warn the distracted pedestrian who initiates crossing. Surrogate safety measures as well as speed information and distraction attributes such as direction and orientation of participants head were collected and evaluated by employing a Multinomial Logit (MNL) model. Results from the model indicate that females have more dangerous crossing behaviour especially in distracted conditions; however, the smart LED treatment reduces this negative impact. Moreover, the number of times and the percentage of duration the head was facing the smartphone during a trial and a waiting time respectively increase the possibility of unsafe crossings; though, the proposed treatment reduces the safety crossing rate. Hence, our study shows that the smart LED light safety treatment indeed improves the safety of distracted pedestrians and enhances the successful crossing rate." } @article{Obayashi2020, title = "Pilot and Feasibility Study on Elderly Support Services Using Communicative Robots and Monitoring Sensors Integrated With Cloud Robotics", journal = "Clinical Therapeutics", year = "2020", issn = "0149-2918", doi = "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinthera.2020.01.001", url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149291820300278", author = "Kazuko Obayashi and Shigeru Masuyama", keywords = "activities of daily living, cloud robotics, communicative robot, elderly care, robotics utilization, support services", abstract = "Purpose This pilot before-after study investigated the possible effects of communicative robots, used with a sensing system supported by cloud robotics, in caring for elderly people. Methods Two elderly women in nursing homes and 4 care workers participated in the trial. The overnight life rhythm assessments of the study participants and care workers were surveyed to determine when and how the robots should be integrated into care. The system consisted of the robot Sota, a noncontact vital sensor and a sheet-shaped bed sensor. Real-time sensing data and conversations between the participants and robots were sent to the servers, prompting a quick verbal response by the robot supported by cloud robotics. Findings Care workers devoted 3 h to the maintenance of records during their most stressful periods. Automatic recording of vital information using robot sensors can improve the quality of nursing care work. Care workers' stress levels were maximized when responding to nurse calls. Temporary responses to nurse calls by the robots may help to effectively reduce the burden on nursing care workers. Robots can stimulate elderly people to communicate more with others (P < 0.05). Appropriate vocalization by communicative robots may prevent the deterioration of quality of life in elderly individuals. Implications Communicative robots, used with a sensing system, may stimulate elderly people to activate a communication link with others and help care workers to effectively reduce the burden during the night shift. A follow-up study involving a broader research program on communicative robots and elderly care would be beneficial." } @article{Thapa2019, title = "Study on the wintry thermal improvement of makeshift shelters built after Nepal earthquake 2015", journal = "Energy and Buildings", volume = "199", pages = "62 - 71", year = "2019", issn = "0378-7788", doi = "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2019.06.031", url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378778819306309", author = "Rita Thapa and Hom Bahadur Rijal and Masanori Shukuya and Hikaru Imagawa", keywords = "Nepal, Earthquake, Temporary shelters, Indoor air temperature, Thermal insulation, Thermal improvement", abstract = "After massive earthquake 2015, thousands of Nepalese who lost their permanent houses by the hardest hits were forced to live in makeshift temporary shelters. The field measurement on indoor thermal environment in five shelters was conducted in one of the district hit by the earthquake, Lalitpur, in winter. The mean indoor and outdoor air temperatures during the measured nighttime were found to be 10.3 °C and 7.6 °C, respectively, and the nocturnal indoor air temperature remained below the lowest acceptable temperature of 11 °C. This result assured that these shelters are not good for winter and must create various problems. We therefore analyzed the thermal characteristics of those shelters based on the measured results in order to seek a possible improvement. The total heat loss coefficient estimated per floor area in five shelters ranged from 11.3 to 15.2 W/(m2·K); that is thermal insulation was very low. We made a simple numerical analysis on the variation of indoor air temperature with the assumption of improved thermal characteristics and thereby found that it needs to be reduced about 2∼7 W/(m2·K) to have the indoor air temperature higher than 11 °C for 70\% of the whole nocturnal hours. Such reduction of heat loss was found to be realized by adding affordable materials, e.g., cellular polyethylene foam and clothes for respective walls and roof. Thus, the knowledge obtained from this study should hopefully be applied to actual improvement of indoor thermal environment in existing shelters and also to a development for the preparation against future disaster." } @MISC{gartner2021, author = "{Gartner}", title = "{Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms}", url = "{https://www.gartner.com/en/documents/3998753}", urldate = "{March 2021}", year = "{2021}", address = "{[Accessed in April 2021]}", } @MISC{android41, author = "{Android Open Source Project}", title = "{Android Developers: Android 4.1 APIs}", url = "{http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.1.html}", urldate = "{May 2014}", year = "{2014}", address = "{[Accessed in April 2017]}", } @MISC{cloudexpo2008, AUTHOR = "{Cloud Expo}", title = "{Twenty-One Experts Define Cloud Computing}", url = "{http://cloudcomputing.sys-con.com/node/612375}", urldate = "{October 2013}", year = "{2008}", address = "{[Accessed in April 2021]}", } @BOOK{Bandyopadhyay2013, title={Unsupervised Classification: Similarity Measures, Classical and Metaheuristic Approaches, and Applications}, author={Bandyopadhyay, Sanghamitra and Saha, Sriparna}, year={2013}, isbn={978-3-642-32450-5}, publisher={Springer}, address = {Berlin, Germany}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-32451-2} } @ARTICLE{Llorente2009, author ="{Sotomayor, B. and Montero, Ruben S. and Llorente, I.M. and Foster, I.}", journal ="Internet Computing, IEEE", title ="{Virtual Infrastructure Management in Private and Hybrid Clouds}", year ="{2009}", month ="{Sept}", volume ="{13}", number ="{5}", pages ="{14-22}", abstract = {One of the many definitions of "cloud" is that of an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) system, in which IT infrastructure is deployed in a provider's data center as virtual machines.

The work has been validated by controlling an indoor blimp with a finite-state machine. It is shown that behaviour-based navigation, especially concerning mobile robots for indoor applications, is predestined to perform reconnaissance of unknown areas and moreover for navigation tasks in familiar environment. Due to the inability of most autonomous indoor aerial vehicles to carry heavy sensors, these systems lack of metrical information and therefore the explicit localization is yet impossible until today. The behaviour-based navigation is combined with a variety of path-planning methods (tree-search, potential fields, etc.) using obstacle-maps of known surroundings enabling the robot to acquire a desired position in a correspondent cluster of rooms.} } @INPROCEEDINGS{Khan2018, author={Khan, Tareq}, booktitle={2018 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology (EIT)}, title={A Smart Wearable Gadget for Noninvasive Detection and Notification of Diaper Moister}, year={2018}, volume={}, number={}, pages={0240-0244}, abstract={Wearing a wet diaper for a long time can be uncomfortable and cause health issues such as diaper rash. The best way to avoid diaper rash is to change the diaper often and as soon as possible after the baby urinates or passes stool. Daycare caregivers or parents sometimes forget or do not have time to manually check the diaper condition of the babies throughout the day. In this age of smart devices, many people are busy with their cell phones or tablets for social networking, texting, gaming, music etc. In this project, a novel wearable gadget is developed which sends an automatic notification to caregivers smart devices whenever the baby urinates. The proposed wearable detects urination event noninvasively by sensing the temperature rise on the outer surface of the diaper. The gadget is a small size, low power, low cost and reusable electronic device that is attached externally to the outer surface of the diaper using hook-and-Ioop fasteners. The gadget can be used with any disposable diaper, thus no change in the diaper production process or price increase is required. The smartphone app logs the urination events and creates databases and reports. This record can facilitate treating disease such as dehydration, where accurate previous records of urination are required.
