In this study, the indium-zinc-oxide(IZO) thin mms were deposited on silicon substrates by r.f. sputtering. The IZO/Si sensing structure was used as a disposable sensor head and connected to the gate terminal of MOSFET. The IZO extended-gate field-effect transistor (EGFET) sensing structure and the Ag/AgCl reference electrode were immersed into the different buffer solutions (pH=1,3,5,7,9,11). Afterward, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics curves and the pH sensitivity were measured and analyzed. According to the experimental results, the pH sensitivity of the IZO EGFET was obtained at approximately 52 mV/pH, and the pH-sensing response is linear (~1). The superior sensing properties of IZO pH-EGFET can be applied to detecting the $H^{+}-$ion concentrations.

The level-of-detail (LOD) technique has been proved to be an effective technique in balancing the rendering efficiency and fidelity demands in the interactive 3D computer graphics applications. Among previously proposed geometric LOD techniques, the discrete, or static, LOD technique is the most adopted representation in real-time 3D graphics applications such as the virtual reality (VR) and 3D computer game. According to previous works, the discrete LOD representations usually suffers from the “popping effect” causing visual disturbance when switching LOD meshes; to cope with this, techniques such as geo-morphing and LOD blending were proposed. However, they either require additional efforts in converting underlying mesh representation or consume additional storage space or transmission cost. In this paper, we have proposed a novel LOD representation based on the concept of sharing a common vertex buffer among the various LOD meshes of a model. The novel LOD representation, called Common Vertex Buffer LOD, denoted as CVB-LOD, has the benefits of saving transmission and storage costs, lower mesh loading latency that effectively reduces the popping effect in switching LOD meshes.

Blockchain is a specific Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) that is an emerging technology currently disrupting various fields. The aim of this paper is to explore ways to harness the advantages of blockchain while being implemented to existing systems. A permissioned blockchain can be established through Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) that utilizes ledgers that are interacted upon by a chaincode. An HLF network was established to investigate the custom chaincode. The scenario of the project was grounded on the functions performed in a web-based property inventory management system that uses a centralized database. The chaincode in the project was written using JavaScript and Node.js was used to create the whole chaincode source. A channel was built between the nodes of the blockchain where the chaincode was deployed. Subsequently, to open a gateway to the network, multiple Representational State Transfer (RST) Application Programming Interface (API) were created. Several gateway endpoints were tested through Insomnia, a cross-platform API client for RST. The tests performed employed various request methods (GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE) which resulted in evidence that the custom chaincode is fully functional and adheres to the OpenAPI specification. The paper concludes that it is highly feasible and advantageous to integrate a blockchain into an existing Web 2.0 system. Most functions and business logic in existing traditional systems can be reflected in a chaincode with proper planning and execution. In the future, other aspects of the blockchain network will be explored further.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate and propose a reliable and accurate method for segmenting Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) wounds. DFU is a prevalent complication among diabetic patients that can have severe consequences if not promptly addressed. However, the segmentation of DFU wounds poses a complex challenge due to variations in symptom color, size, and contrast, which can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Furthermore, challenges such as image noise, lighting and contrast variations, and labeling difficulties further complicate the taskTaking advantage of the rapid advancements in deep learning and its application to image segmentation, this study introduces a robust DFU segmentation model based on deep learning techniques. The proposed model aims to achieve accurate and precise segmentation of DFU wounds, addressing the aforementioned challenges..To assess the effectiveness of our segmentation strategy, we evaluated its performance using the public database of the 2022 DFU Segmentation Challenge. The results obtained demonstrate that our model achieves an average Dice coefficient of 83.44%, a substantial improvement compared to the average Dice coefficient of 72.87% achieved by other participants. These results serve as compelling evidence that our segmentation method successfully achieves high-precision segmentation of DFU wounds.

Anthropometric detection tasks play a crucial role in medical and military recruitment processes as they help identify abnormalities that could otherwise be missed. Presently, these measurements are carried out manually using markers, which is a time-consuming process and prone to errors. This paper presents a computer vision-based system for detecting shoulder and knee abnormalities by automatically measuring shoulder tilt and knee distance to observe the knock-knees and bowlegs condition. The proposed system employs deep learning and BlazePose landmark estimation to accurately identify anomalies in the shoulders and legs. The Atan and Dist theoretical basis is applied for shoulder tilt and knee distance measurements, respectively. The proposed system can measure shoulder tilt and knee distance with an error rate of less than 10%. The automation of these measurements reduces the time required for examination and eliminates subjectivity and potential errors associated with manual measurements. Therefore, the proposed system has the potential to revolutionize shoulder and knee abnormality examinations by offering more accurate and efficient diagnoses.

In recent years, due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, many related technologies have been widely used in various fields, including the deep learning-based license plate recognition technology. However, there are still some problems with the deep learning-based license plate recognition technology, such as the inability to process license plate images with low light and dynamic blur. In addition, in real life, due to factors such as the speed of vehicle movement and camera exposure time, license plates often appear blurred, causing difficulties in license plate recognition. Therefore, this study proposes a method for restoring dynamic blur license plates based on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) technology. Using a dataset of 16,900 original license plates and 25,000 iterations of training, a high-fidelity license plate model was trained and a dataset of 3,000 high-fidelity license plates was randomly generated, with dynamic blur effects added to the high-fidelity license plate dataset. Then, using the structure of the cGAN network in the pix2pix technology, the clear license plate was restored from the dynamic blur license plate. Our model was able to effectively restore 2,873 dynamic blur license plates out of 3,000 license plates with a blur level of 85 or more in the preliminary experiment on the dataset, with a restoration rate of 95.7%. The proposed method is more excellent and adaptable to most physical environments than traditional image processing methods. In the future, we will further improve and optimize the model, and introduce effects such as pollution, exposure, darkness, and obstruction to train a license plate restoration model with multiple functions to meet the increasingly wide-ranging needs of license plate recognition applications.

This study proposes a MEC-integrated 5G Management and Orchestration (5G MANO) platform architecture for Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) deployment and orchestration. Since network slicing can provide different types of network service requirements, users can provide better service quality by selecting network slicing to interface with the corresponding MEC host. This study designs and integrates the 5G MANO platform with MEC and the 5G core network. Also, the experimental results show that the designed 5G integrated MEC network slicing architecture provides offloading traffic to MEC hosts and can enable MEC app services to obtain higher network throughput.

Solid-state drives (SSDs) using NAND flash memory are the popular storage systems and are widely used in consumer and enterprise systems. Due to the erase-before-write characteristic, NAND flash memory requires time-consuming garbage collection that consists of pages copying and block erasing. Moreover, garbage collection will suspend other I/O requests and cause long-tail latency. In this paper, we propose short-term and long-term idle time detectors to exploit the idle time and reduce the long-tail latency by performing garbage collection on idle time. The experimental results show that our method can reduce the long-tail latency in SSDs.
