Bowling is a target sport that is popular among all age groups with professionals and amateur players. Delivering an accurate and consistent bowling throw into the lane requires the incorporation of motion techniques. Consequently, this research presents a novel IoT-Cloud based system for providing real-time monitoring and coaching services to bowling athletes. The system includes two inertial measurement units (IMUs) sensors for capturing motion data, a mobile application and a cloud server for processing the data. First, the quality of each phase of a throw is assessed using a Dynamic Time Wrapping (DTW) based algorithm. Second, an on device-level technique is proposed to identify common bowling errors. Finally, an SVM classification model is employed for assessing the skill level of bowler athletes. We recruited nine right-handed bowlers to perform 50 throws wearing the two sensors and using the proposed system. The results of our experiments suggest that the proposed system can effectively and efficiently assess the quality of the throw, detect common bowling errors and classify the skill level of the bowler.

Process analytics approaches allow organizations to support the practice of Business Process Management and continuous improvement by leveraging all process-related data to extract knowledge, improve process performance and support decision-making across the organization. Process execution data once collected will contain hidden insights and actionable knowledge that are of considerable business value enabling firms to take a data-driven approach for identifying performance bottlenecks, reducing costs, extracting insights and optimizing the utilization of available resources. Understanding the properties of 'current deployed process' (whose execution trace is often available in these logs), is critical to understanding the variation across the process instances, root-causes of inefficiencies and determining the areas for investing improvement efforts. In this survey, we discuss various methods that allow organizations to understand the behaviour of their processes, monitor currently running process instances, predict the future behavior of those instances and provide better support for operational decision-making across the organization.

Agriculture is a huge domain where an enormous landscape of systems interact to support agricultural processes, which are becoming increasingly digital. From the perspective of agricultural service providers, a prominent challenge is interoperability. In the Fraunhofer lighthouse project Cognitive Agriculture (COGNAC), we investigated how the usage of Industry 4.0 digital twins (I4.0 DTs) can help overcome this challenge. This paper contributes architecture drivers and a solution concept using I4.0 DTs in the agricultural domain. Furthermore, we discuss the opportunities and limitations offered by I4.0 DTs for the agricultural domain.

Dynamic digital timing analysis is a promising alternative to analog simulations for verifying particularly timing-critical parts of a circuit. A necessary prerequisite is a digital delay model, which allows to accurately predict the input-to-output delay of a given transition in the input signal(s) of a gate. Since all existing digital delay models for dynamic digital timing analysis are deterministic, however, they cannot cover delay fluctuations caused by PVT variations, aging and analog signal noise. The only exception known to us is the $eta$-IDM introduced by F"ugger et al. at DATE'18, which allows to add (very) small adversarially chosen delay variations to the deterministic involution delay model, without endangering its faithfulness. In this paper, we show that it is possible to extend the range of allowed delay variations so significantly that realistic PVT variations and aging are covered by the resulting extended $eta$-IDM.

Motivation: Detection of structural variants (SV) from the alignment of sample DNA reads to the reference genome is an important problem in understanding human diseases. Long reads that can span repeat regions, along with an accurate alignment of these long reads play an important role in identifying novel SVs. Long read sequencers such as nanopore sequencing can address this problem by providing very long reads but with high error rates, making accurate alignment challenging. Many errors induced by nanopore sequencing have a bias because of the physics of the sequencing process and proper utilization of these error characteristics can play an important role in designing a robust aligner for SV detection problems. In this paper, we design and evaluate HQAlign, an aligner for SV detection using nanopore sequenced reads. The key ideas of HQAlign include (i) using basecalled nanopore reads along with the nanopore physics to improve alignments for SVs (ii) incorporating SV specific changes to the alignment pipeline (iii) adapting these into existing state-of-the-art long read aligner pipeline, minimap2 (v2.24), for efficient alignments. Results: We show that HQAlign captures about 4%-6% complementary SVs across different datasets which are missed by minimap2 alignments while having a standalone performance at par with minimap2 for real nanopore reads data. For the common SV calls between HQAlign and minimap2, HQAlign improves the start and the end breakpoint accuracy for about 10%-50% of SVs across different datasets. Moreover, HQAlign improves the alignment rate to 89.35% from minimap2 85.64% for nanopore reads alignment to recent telomere-to-telomere CHM13 assembly, and it improves to 86.65% from 83.48% for nanopore reads alignment to GRCh37 human genome.

Real-time monitoring of nervous system function with immediate communication of relevant information to the surgeon enables prevention and/or mitigation of iatrogenic injury in many surgical procedures. The hardware and software infrastructure and demonstrated usefulness of telemedicine in support of IONM originated in a busy university health center environment and then spread widely as comparable functional capabilities were added by commercial equipment manufacturers. The earliest implementations included primitive data archival and case documentation capabilities and relied primarily on deidentification for security. They emphasized full-featured control of the real-time data display by remote observers. Today, remote IONM is routinely utilized in more than 200,000 high-risk surgical procedures/year in the United States. For many cases, remote observers rely on screen capture to view the data as it is displayed in the remote operating room while providing sophisticated security capabilities and data archival and standardized metadata and case documentation.

Algorithms are becoming more capable, and with that comes hic sunt dracones (here be dragons). The term symbolizes areas beyond our known maps. We use this term since we are stepping into an exciting, potentially dangerous, and unknown area with algorithms. Our curiosity to understand the natural world drives our search for new methods. For this reason, it is crucial to explore this subject. The project's objective is to overlay the information obtained, in conjunction with the state of hardware today, to see if we can determine the likely directions for future algorithms'. Even though we slightly cover non-classical computing in this paper, our primary focus is on classical computing (i.e., digital computers). It is worth noting that non-classical quantum computing requires classical computers to operate; they are not mutually exclusive.

Everybody knows very well about the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown, and its impacts and effects on every field of life, from childhood to senior citizens, from local to global. The underlying research study focuses on students' involvement in online classes. This paper assesses the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the students' participation and involvement during online classes compared to the physical classes, cheating behavior, health effects, and study styles of the students of diverse degrees and age groups. This research study contributes to the real problems and challenges that students faced during online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The percentages of the students' responses with different color schemes shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig.3(a), Fig.3(b) and Fig.4 are conveying powerful and meaningful insight. These figures and the results given in Table I and Table II indicate that most students are not fully involved during online classes due to technical issues, remote distance, etc. We applied the Test here because we do not have exact population means. We used ttest_1samp with default value 0 to compute the variables' statistics and p-value. These values are minimal in favor of rejecting the null or H0 (hypothesis) and accepting the alternate or H1 (hypothesis). It further means that students' involvement during online classes is severely affected.
