Abstract

Vehicle infrastructure must address the challenges posed by today's advances toward connected and autonomous vehicles. To allow for more flexible architectures, high-bandwidth connections and scalability are needed to connect many sensors and electronic control units (ECUs). At the same time, deterministic and low latency is a critical and significant design requirement to support urgent real-time applications in autonomous vehicles. As a recent solution, the time-sensitive network (TSN) was introduced as Ethernet-based amendments in IEEE 802.1 TSN standards to meet those needs. However, it had hurdle to be overcome before it can be used effectively. This paper discusses the latest studies concerning the automotive Ethernet requirements, including transmission delay studies to improve worst-case end-to-end delay and end-to-end jitter. Also, the paper focuses on the securing Ethernet-based in-vehicle networks (IVNs) by reviewing new encryption and authentication methods and approaches.

Abstract

Tissue engineering is a cutting-edge discipline that brings together scientific and health-related, biological, and engineering principles in order to build tissue-engineered constructions able to restore or sustain the physiological properties of native tissue, or to marginally enhance those properties. This field is called "regenerative medicine". By constructing structures that are analogous to the extracellular matrix, it will be possible to improve the transmission of oxygen and nutrients, as well as the release of toxins during the process of tissue healing, all while simultaneously maturing tissues. Over the past few years, various studies have concentrated on looking at nanostructures in three dimensions with the goal of using them in tissue engineering. In this group of methods, electrospinning stands out as one of the most successful options. Over the course of the past few decades, a great number of nanofibrous scaffolds have been produced for the purpose of restoring and repairing damaged tissue. In this article, the engineering of new tissues using nanofibrous textures as scaffolds are reviewed. In addition, recent developments in tissue regeneration and the difficulties related to electrospinning are discussed in this article, along with their respective solutions.

Abstract

Health insurance fraud is a significant problem affecting insurance providers and policyholders. To address the rising problem of fraudulent activities in the health insurance sector, this paper proposes a pioneering blockchain-based system aimed at increasing transparency and security. Utilizing a hybrid Blockchain architecture, the system incorporates a consensus algorithm influenced by practical byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) and proof of activity (PoA) to ensure reliability and efficiency in distributing mining power. Developed using Python, extensive testing confirms the system's performance and security metrics. Results show that a block size containing one transaction is 1.63 KB, with 1.2 KB for data and 0.43 KB for identification and hashing. Operational tests demonstrate that a single participant can upload 850 transactions to the transaction pool, with validation completed in just 7.49 seconds. Block appending time for these transactions is a swift 10 seconds. Notably, the system exhibits resilience against data tampering, detecting unauthorized changes within 881.3 milliseconds across 10,000 blocks and identifying irregularities in the transaction pool within 8.78 seconds. Additionally, to enhance data privacy, patient information is accessible only through a unique QR code, providing an extra layer of security; this research represents a significant advancement in combatting fraud and safeguarding data privacy.

Abstract

The prevalence of melanoma of the skin has seen a significant rise in recent decades, constituting approximately one-third of all diagnosed cancer cases. Melanoma, the most fatal variant among cutaneous malignancies, exhibits a 4% probability of occurrence over an individual’s lifetime. The increasing incidence and mortality rates of skin cancer impose a substantial burden on healthcare resources and the economy. In recent years, several optical modalities, including dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), optical coherence tomography, multiphoton excited fluorescence imaging, and dermatofluorescence, have been extensively studied and utilized to improve the non-invasive diagnosis of skin cancer. This review article provides an analysis of the approach employed in the recently developed optical non-invasive diagnostic technologies. It explores the clinical uses of these techniques, while also examining their respective advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, the paper explores the possibility for additional advancements in these technologies in the future.
