Most of recently proposed MAC protocols for low-power embedded sensing systems(e.g. wireless sensor networks) are designed with energy efficiency as the first goal, so they are not suitable for AAL systems. Although some multi-channel MAC protocols have been proposed to address the problem, most of those protocols ignore the cost of channel switching, which can have reverse effect on network performance, especially latency of data delivery. In this paper, we propose a Delay-Sensitive Multi-channel MAC protocol(DS-MMAC) for AAL systems, which can provide high packet delivery ratio and bound low latency for data delivered to the gateway node. The novelty of the protocol is that an efficient distributed time slot scheduling and channel assignment algorithm is combined with the process of route establishment, which takes the channel switching cost into account and reduces endto-end delay to meet the required delay bound of each data flow. The performance of the proposed protocol is evaluated through extensive simulations. Results show that DS-MMAC can bound low latency for delivering detected events in AAL system to the gateway, while providing high delivery reliability and low energy consumption.展开更多

In the context of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the development of efficient and reliable traffic light detection mechanisms is crucial for enhancing road safety and traffic management. This paper presents an optimized convolutional neural network (CNN) framework designed to detect traffic lights in real-time within complex urban environments. Leveraging multi-scale pyramid feature maps, the proposed model addresses key challenges such as the detection of small, occluded, and low-resolution traffic lights amidst complex backgrounds. The integration of dilated convolutions, Region of Interest (ROI) alignment, and Soft Non-Maximum Suppression (Soft-NMS) further improves detection accuracy and reduces false positives. By optimizing computational efficiency and parameter complexity, the framework is designed to operate seamlessly on embedded systems, ensuring robust performance in real-world applications. Extensive experiments using real-world datasets demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms existing methods, providing a scalable solution for ITS and ADAS applications. This research contributes to the advancement of Artificial Intelligence-driven (AI-driven) pattern recognition in transportation systems and offers a mathematical approach to improving efficiency and safety in logistics and transportation networks.展开更多

文摘Background:This study evaluates the ability of mobile AI voice assistants(AI-VAs)to provide accurate medical advice for early knee osteoarthritis(KOA)and compares their performance with conventional web searches and human clinicians.Methods:From September to October 2024,two AI-VAs(Apple’s Siri and Huawei’s Xiaoyi)were tested on 15 KOA-related questions in Chinese and English.The assessment focused on the accuracy of voice recognition,response capabilities,and medical advice.Siri was further tested in four international regions(USA,UK,Germany,Hong Kong)using localized languages.Results:In Chinese-language tests,Siri and Xiaoyi showed comparable voice recognition(recognition accuracy:95.6%vs.93.3%)and response ability(speech response:88.9%vs.85.7%).However,Siri provided significantly more accurate medical advice(medical advice:95.6%vs.53.3%;Z=2.762,P<0.001).External validation via Global Quality Score further confirmed Siri’s superiority(mean Global Quality Score=4.0 vs.Xiaoai=0.9).Siri outperformed Xiaoyi in English-language tests(53.3%vs.0%).While Siri’s medical advice accuracy(95.6%)surpassed non-specialist clinicians(Z=2.685,P=0.007),it primarily reflects filtered search results(Baidu/Google)rather than clinical synthesis.Claims of equivalence to junior surgeons(98.2%)must be interpreted cautiously,as AI-VAs lack diagnostic reasoning capabilities.This distinction is critical to avoid overstating their role in clinical decision-making.Conclusion:Current AI-VAs offer limited value in providing precise medical advice for KOA,primarily serving as intermediaries for web search results.Their performance varies across languages,regions,and search engines.
文摘With the shift in the definition of disease from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)to metabolism-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD),as well as the rapid evolution of pathological classification and therapeutic targets,traditional clinical teaching models face challenges such as outdated guideline updates,disjointed translation of scientific research,and limited skill training.This study proposes a dynamic training model integrating“guidelines,clinical practice,and scientific research.”Through stratified case-based teaching(e.g.,FibroScan simulator and metabolic sand table),dynamic guideline analysis(comparing old and new evidence),and the integration of scientific thinking(visualization of CAND1 protein mechanism),a teaching system that integrates theory and practice is constructed.Innovatively developed smart assistant tools(AI decision support system,VR liver biopsy simulator)and a multi-dimensional evaluation system(deviation analysis of diagnosis and treatment pathways,milestone assessment)are used while emphasizing metabolic medicine integration(continuous glucose monitoring and digital therapy)and ethical privacy protection(federated learning framework).This model aims to cultivate students’evidence-based decision-making skills and scientific research transformation thinking through dynamic knowledge base construction and interdisciplinary collaboration,providing sustainable teaching solutions to cope with the rapid iteration of NAFLD diagnosis and treatment.
文摘This study analyzed how impressions are formed online depending on the type of social media and the implications that may come from the over-disclosure of information. Using a Qualtrics survey, 97 participants viewed the profile of a female teaching assistant on Twitter and Facebook. While there was little difference between the two social media, the use of self-disclosure on Twitter seemed slightly more inappropriate for sharing personal information.

文摘Detecting sitting posture abnormalities in wheelchair users enables early identification of changes in their functional status.To date,this detection has relied on in-person observation by medical specialists.However,given the challenges faced by health specialists to carry out continuous monitoring,the development of an intelligent anomaly detection system is proposed.Unlike other authors,where they use supervised techniques,this work proposes using unsupervised techniques due to the advantages they offer.These advantages include the lack of prior labeling of data,and the detection of anomalies previously not contemplated,among others.In the present work,an individualized methodology consisting of two phases is developed:characterizing the normal sitting pattern and determining abnormal samples.An analysis has been carried out between different unsupervised techniques to study which ones are more suitable for postural diagnosis.It can be concluded,among other aspects,that the utilization of dimensionality reduction techniques leads to improved results.Moreover,the normality characterization phase is deemed necessary for enhancing the system’s learning capabilities.Additionally,employing an individualized approach to the model aids in capturing the particularities of the various pathologies present among subjects.

文摘For computer science majors in higher education institutions,programming courses are one of the most important professional foundation courses.Proficiency in independent programming skills is of great help to the study of subsequent courses and the personal development of students.In the teaching process of programming courses,online judgement systems are often used to improve students’programming level.Traditional online judgement systems lack guidance for students,and it is often difficult for inexperienced students to find and correct errors in their codes by themselves.We propose an online judgement system that integrates a large model of error correction to help students find errors and improve their programming skills.
文摘Background:Work engagement(WE)is critical to quality primary healthcare delivery.However,limited research has explored its levels and determinants among healthcare professionals in low-and middle-income countries.This study assessed the levels and correlates of work engagement among physician assistants(PAs)in Ghana.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among 439 PAs from October to December 2024.Participants were recruited via emails,social media platforms,and posters featuring study links and scannable questionnaire codes.WE was measured using the validated Utrecht Work Engagement Scale questionnaire.Results:Overall,WE levels were average,with similar trends across the three subdomains.In the bootstrapped multivariate linear regression model,anxiety was negatively associated with WE(β=-0.49,95%confidence interval[CI]:-0.77 to-0.21).Conversely,working in an urban area(β=0.36,95%CI:0.05 to 0.67),holding the rank of PA/Senior PA(β=0.27,95%CI:0.03 to 0.52),reporting good self-rated health(β=0.54,95%CI:0.19 to 0.88),and working at health centers(β=0.86,95%CI:0.22 to 1.50)were positively associated with WElevels.Conclusion:WE levels are average in the study sample,highlighting the need for strategic interventions to improve and sustain the healthcare workforce's motivation and performance.Addressing workplace stressors,enhancing professional development opportunities,and fostering supportive work environments could improve engagement among PAs and healthcare professionals in general.Strengthening WE is essential for ensuring resilient quality primary healthcare systems and achieving the goals of universal health coverage.

文摘The objective of this research was to enhance the stability and consistency of seed distribution during carrot planting.The impact of the seed guide tube’s structure on seeding quality was examined,leading to the design of a cycloidal seed guide system augmented by positive pressure airflow.By conducting kinematic modeling of the collision position of the seeds within the seed guiding system,as well as considering the seed guiding process and the seed drop position,the significant parameters influencing the final velocity of the seeds were determined.Employing a coupled Discrete Element Method-Computational Fluid Dynamics(DEM-CFD)simulation,the effects of different structural and operating parameters of the seed guide tube on the seed trajectory and airflow field were analyzed.A three-factor five-level orthogonal test was then utilized to examine the influence of each factor on each index,with the optimal conditions identified as an inlet airflow velocity of 0.077 m/s,a 45°tilt angle for the airflow branch tube,and a seed initial velocity of 0.1 m/s.Under these parameters,the qualification index was recorded as 94.1%,with a coefficient of variation of 3.2%.Bench testing conducted under the same conditions showed a decrease of 0.07%in the qualification index,and an increase of 1.875%in the coefficient of variation,with errors relative to the simulation results within acceptable bounds.These findings enhance the stability and reliability of the seed guiding system during carrot sowing operations,aligning with the demands of precision sowing.
文摘BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer(CRC)can be prevented by screening and early detection.Colonoscopy is used for screening,and adenoma detection rate(ADR)is used as a key quality indicator of sufficient colonoscopy.However,ADR can vary significantly among endoscopists,leading to missed polyps or cancer.Artificial intelligence(AI)has shown promise in improving ADR by assisting in real-time polyp identification or diagnosis.While multiple randomized controlled trials(RCTs)and metanalyses highlight the benefits of AI in increasing detection rates and reducing missed polyps,concerns remain about its real-world applicability,impact on procedure time,and cost-effectiveness.AIM To explore the current status of AI assistance colonoscopy in adenoma detection and improving quality of colonoscopy.METHODS This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines,both PubMed and Web of Science databases were used for articles search.Metanalyses and systematic reviews that assessed AI's role during colonoscopy.English article only published between January 2000 and January 2025 were included.Articles related to nonadenoma indications were excluded.Data extraction was independently performed by two researchers for accuracy and consistency.RESULTS 22 articles met the inclusion criteria,with significant heterogeneity(I2=28%-91%)observed in multiple studies.The number of studies per metanalysis ranged from 5 to 33,with higher heterogeneity in analyses involving more than 18 RCTs.AI demonstrated improvement in ADR,with an approximate 20%increase across multiple studies.However,its effectiveness in detecting flat or serrated adenomas remains unproven.Endoscopists with low ADR benefit more from AI-colonoscopies,while expert endoscopists outperformed AI in ADR,adenoma miss rate,and the identification of advanced lesions.No significant change in withdrawal time was observed when comparing AI-assisted colonoscopy to conventional endoscopy.CONCLUSION While AI-assisted colonoscopy has been shown to improve procedural quality,particularly for junior endoscopists and those with lower ADR,its performance decreases when compared to expert endoscopists in real-time clinical practice.This is especially evident in non-randomized studies,where AI demonstrates limited real-world benefits despite its benefit in controlled settings.Furthermore,no meta-analyses have specifically examined AI's impact on the learning experience of fellows and residents.Some experts caution that reliance on AI may prevent trainees from developing essential observational skills,potentially leading to less thorough examinations.Further research is needed to determine the actual benefits of AI-colonoscopy,particularly its role in cancer prevention.As technology advances,improved outcomes are expected,especially in detecting small,flat,and lesions at difficult anatomical locations.
