Developing Role Model of PV Powered Battery Swapping Stations for e-scooters in Urban Regions

Electric vehicles (EVs) can only provide lower carbon emissions than conventional, internal combustion-powered vehicles if they are charged using green energy. They also have the drawback of long charging times to 'refuel' them. To combat these two problems, a solar-powered battery charging and swapping station was developed using centered-human design and systems engineering. The design focuses on electric two-wheeled vehicles (e-scooters) due to the easier handling of their light and low-capacity batteries compared to electric cars. These stations are easy to maintain and manage and can be

Immunoinformatics approach of epitope prediction for SARS-CoV-2

Background: The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) caused lethal infections worldwide during an unprecedented pandemic. Identification of the candidate viral epitopes is the first step in the design of vaccines against the viral infection. Several immunoinformatic approaches were employed to identify the SARS-CoV-2 epitopes that bind specifically with the major histocompatibility molecules class I (MHC-I). We utilized immunoinformatic tools to analyze the whole viral protein sequences, to identify the SARS-CoV-2 epitopes responsible for binding to the most frequent human leukocyte antigen (HLA)

Deep learning models for predicting RNA degradation via dual crowdsourcing

Medicines based on messenger RNA (mRNA) hold immense potential, as evidenced by their rapid deployment as COVID-19 vaccines. However, worldwide distribution of mRNA molecules has been limited by their thermostability, which is fundamentally limited by the intrinsic instability of RNA molecules to a chemical degradation reaction called in-line hydrolysis. Predicting the degradation of an RNA molecule is a key task in designing more stable RNA-based therapeutics. Here, we describe a crowdsourced machine learning competition (‘Stanford OpenVaccine’) on Kaggle, involving single-nucleotide

Automated library mapping approach based on cross-platform for mobile development programming languages

Context: The most popular mobile platforms, Android and iOS, are traditionally developed using native programming languages—Java and Kotlin for Android, and Objective-C followed by Swift for iOS, respectively. Due to their popularity, there is always a demand to convert applications written for one of these two platforms to another. Cross-platform mobile development is widely used as a solution where an application is written once and deployed on multiple platforms written in several other programming languages. One common cross-platform approach that has been used recently by some research

A multi-Kalman filter-based approach for decoding arm kinematics from EMG recordings

Background: Remarkable work has been recently introduced to enhance the usage of Electromyography (EMG) signals in operating prosthetic arms. Despite the rapid advancements in this field, providing a reliable, naturalistic myoelectric prosthesis remains a significant challenge. Other challenges include the limited number of allowed movements, lack of simultaneous, continuous control and the high computational power that could be needed for accurate decoding. In this study, we propose an EMG-based multi-Kalman filter approach to decode arm kinematics; specifically, the elbow angle (θ), wrist

Exploring State-of-the-Art Models in Arabic NLP: Insights into Multi-Label Text Classification

This study addresses the challenge of multi-label text classification in the Arabic language, focusing on movie genre categorization using plot summaries. Even though over 400 million people speak Arabic, its natural language processing (NLP) advances are not keeping up with those of other languages because of data shortages and quality difficulties. Three key contributions are made by this research to narrow this gap: a thorough analysis of prior research on Arabic multi-label text classification; the introduction of a newly curated dataset containing 22 genre labels for Egyptian movies; and

Light-Weight Food/Non-Food Classifier for Real-Time Applications

Today, automatic food/non-food classification became extremely important for many real-time applications, specifically since the pandemic of the COVID-19 virus. Such that the 'no food policy' now became applied more than ever to help decrease the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Consequently, many studies used deep neural networks for the food/non-food classification task, yet these deep neural networks were computationally expensive. As a result, in this paper, a lightweight Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is proposed and put into use for classifying foods and non-foods. Compared to prior

A feature selection-based framework to identify biomarkers for cancer diagnosis: A focus on lung adenocarcinoma

Lung cancer (LC) represents most of the cancer incidences in the world. There are many types of LC, but Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common type. Although RNA-seq and microarray data provide a vast amount of gene expression data, most of the genes are insignificant to clinical diagnosis. Feature selection (FS) techniques overcome the high dimensionality and sparsity issues of the large-scale data. We propose a framework that applies an ensemble of feature selection techniques to identify genes highly correlated to LUAD. Utilizing LUAD RNA-seq data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)
