Tracking Antibiotic Resistance from the Environment to Human Health

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the threats to our world according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Resistance is an evolutionary dynamic process where host-associated microbes have to adapt to their stressful environments. AMR could be classified according to the mechanism of resistance or the biome where resistance takes place. Antibiotics are one of the stresses that lead to

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

Brain Tumor Semantic Segmentation using Residual U-Net++ Encoder-Decoder Architecture

Image segmentation is considered one of the essen-tial tasks for extracting useful information from an image. Given the brain tumor and its consumption of medical resources, the development of a deep learning method for MRI to segment the brain tumor of patients’ MRI is illustrated here. Brain tumor segmentation technique is crucial in detecting and treating MRI brain tumors. Furthermore, it

Keyed Watermarks: A Fine-grained Tracking of Event-time in Apache Flink

Big Data Stream processing engines such as Apache Flink use windowing techniques to handle unbounded streams of events. Gathering all pertinent input within a window is crucial for event-time windowing since it affects how accurate results are. A significant part of this process is played by watermarks, which are unique timestamps that show the passage of events in time. However, the current

Blockchain in Healthcare for Achieving Patients' Privacy

Heath data are sensitive and valuable for individuals. The patients need to integrate and manage their medical data continuously. Personal Health Record (PHR) is introduced as a solution for managing their health information. It gives patients ownership over their medical data and provides physicians with realignment data. However, it does not achieve reliability, traceability, trust, nor security

High-performance fractional anisotropic diffusion filter for portable applications

Anisotropic diffusion is one of the most effective methods used in image processing. It can be used to eliminate the small textures of an image while preserving its significant edges. In this paper, a new anisotropic diffusion filter is proposed based on a fractional calculus kernel rather than integer kernel to improve the overall performance of the filter. Integer and fractional anisotropic
