Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) can be considered as one of the most useful biometrics. It has effectively been used for recognizing persons. However, it seems that there is still a need to propose a new approach for verifying humans, especially after the recent big wars, where too many people lost and die. This approach should have the capability to provide high personal verification performance. In this paper, a personal recognition approach based on artificial intelligence is proposed. This approach is called the artificial DNA algorithm for recognition (ADAR). It utilizes a unique identity for each person acquired from DNA nucleotides, and it can verify individuals efficiently with high performance. The ADAR has been designed and applied to multiple datasets, namely, the DNA classification (DC), sample DNA sequence (SDS), human DNA sequences (HDS), and DNA sequences (DS). For all datasets, a low value of 0% is achieved for each of the false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This scientific paper presents a novel approach of real-time signal analysis in electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring systems, focusing on the integration of device design, algorithm implementation for accurate measurement and interpretation of heart activity. The proposed system leverages a low-cost framework, employing a microcontroller and Arduino programming language for raw ECG data acquisition, while utilizing the AD8232 sensor and ESP8266 Node MCU for continuous patient monitoring. The acquired data is processed, stored, and analyzed using the Pan-Tompkins algorithm, which effectively filters and analyzes heart signals, including noise reduction and QRS complex detection. Two case studies involving a healthy individual and a patient with Myocarditis were conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the system. The integration of device design and algorithm development in ECG analysis is emphasized, highlighting the affordability, wearability, and potential for continuous monitoring and early detection of heart conditions. By successfully mitigating noise-related challenges, the implementation of the Pan algorithm enables accurate signal analysis. This interdisciplinary research contributes to the advancement of ECG interpretation and underscores the significance of clinical fusion between designed systems and applied algorithms on real cases. The performance of two Pan-Tompkins based QRS complex detection algorithms was systematically analyzed, offering valuable insights for their reasonable utilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Because network of sensors gives a more accurate representation of remotely sensed environments, a network of wirelessly connected sensors is essential. Data packets must be routed to the base station hop by hop, which causes conventional network data collecting to use a lot of power. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) were employed for hovering over the detected environment and gather data to solve this issue. The paper also aims to provide an automatic alignment for UAV antennas for tracking by utilising computer vision technologies. A directional antenna with high gain is used by a ground station that can operate by a pan-tilt to point towards the low-gain omnidirectional antenna carried by the UAV. To center the UAV's antenna's image in the frame, the antenna is equipped with a camera, and a computer detects the video and controls the pan-tilt. The antennas are aligned if there are no more than a few pixels between the UAV image center and the image center. The proposed imaging system exhibits fast data collection, thus attaining a high packet delivery rate and the minimum use of energy. With the suggested antenna auto-alignment approach, the antennas can be accurately aligned with an angle error of under one. UAVs must take the smoothest and shortest pathways possible to accommodate their motion and time constraints. As a result, the Traveling Sales Problem (TSP) is utilized to determine the shortest route, and Bezier curves are then employed to turn paths into a flyable path. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
