This results in an extensive gas outspread during leakage with multiple avenues for ignition, primarily due to the electric circuitry at home. The primary focus of our project is to simulate a network map of a gas leakage warning system so as to showcase its implementation in an apartment-based setup. The network map can be scaled up for implementation in residential sectors, petroleum and oil fields, sewage lines, etc. based on our proof of concept. In our use case, we would implement LPG Gas Sensors to Microcontroller for providing a logical binary output of fire warning indication.","PeriodicalId":142867,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131124091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There have been phenomenal changes/deployments in technology of generation driven by the worldwide emphasis on energy from wind and solar as a sustainable solution to our energy need. Increasingly energy demand from heating and transportation are being met by electricity. These changes have significantly influenced the planning, design, operation and control of the power distribution system. Accommodating uncertainties in renewable generation and demand forecast in a cost-effective manner is now a very complex optimization problem. This talk will share our recent research efforts Volt/VAr control (VVC) strategy in distribution systems to address the uncertainties. Efficient chance constrained conic optimisation technique accelerated through scenario reduction approach will be discussed to demonstrate the significant reduction of voltage violations when compared with the deterministic cases while not relaxing the conservativeness of the final solutions. It will also touch upon treatment of certain types of load characteristic in the proposed solution framework.

Recently, a computing paradigm called fog computing which extends the cloud computing paradigm to the network edge has captured the attention of researchers and industrial organizations alike. This paper investigates the possibilities of implementing Fog Computing using a novel layer-wise partitioning scheme as a solution to reduce the effort of running deep inferencing for object detection algorithms on embedded IoT devices.

Car crashes or any unwanted incidents can be avoided by implementing a system with alarm output to alert drowsy drivers to focus on the road. An intelligent system is developed to detect driver drowsiness and trigger alarm to alert drivers as one way to prevent accidents, save money and reduce losses and sufferings. However, due to high variability of surrounding parameters, current techniques have several limitations. Bad lightings may affect camera ability to accurately measure the face and the eye of the driver. This will affect the analysis using image processing technique due to late detection or no detection hence decrease the accuracy and efficiency of the technique. Several techniques have been studied and analyzed to conclude the best technique with the highest accuracy to detect driver drowsiness. In this work, a real-time system that utilizes computerized camera to automatically track and process driver’s eye using Python, dlib and OpenCV is proposed.

The concentration of Faecal Calprotectin (FC) is a reliable indicator of luminal inflammatory processes and can replace invasive and uncomfortable ileocolonoscopies. Studies have confirmed the association of FC levels with the progression of CD and various machine learning approaches have been used for predicting disease progression. In this study, we aimed to comparatively evaluate the performance of established machine learning approaches, to predict the progression of CD, using a range of variables, including FC levels. Our dataset consisted of records for 804 patients with CD and a FC measurement, from a teaching hospital that cares for secondary and tertiary referred patients. We compared the performance of four machine learning approaches, namely logistic regression, support vector machine, random forests and artificial neural networks, to predict the likelihood of a flare up. Our results showed that all four approaches performed strongly, which demonstrates the potential of these approaches, in particular logistic regression, for predicting disease progression. Logistic regression slightly outperformed the others, with an accuracy of 0.90 and an AUC of 0.83. Our dataset had missing data for a number of patients, which resulted in fewer variables being selected for inclusion in the model. Our relatively small sample size could account for SVM, Random Forest and the ANN not demonstrating superior accuracy compared to logistic regression, in this study. In future, an increased number of variables should be included for analysis, the outcome period for a flare up should be explored, and our results should be validated using another independent and large dataset.","PeriodicalId":142867,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"332 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134482738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, very few countries are conscious of this serious issue and trying to manage and recycle wastes. In this paper, we have proposed a waste recycling system thinking researchers will implement it in real-time and contribute toward a green and healthy living world. The input of the proposed system will be a mixture of wastes. The system will separate solid wastes like a bottle, wood pieces, brick pieces and other materials which can be reused or used raw material for the Solid Fuel Recover (SRF) system. The outcomes of the system will be biogas and bio-fertiliser. These resources can be used directly in household and industrial purposes and to fertile agricultural lands. Alternatively, these resources can contribute to generating electricity and transportation refuelling.

A Convolution Neural Network is used to detect and identify objects in the field of vision. A pair of cameras are then used to form a stereovision which is used to measure the distance of the objects detected. A disparity map from stereovision images was constructed first, then from the region of interest, a single disparity value was extracted to calculate the distance. The system is employed on a single board computer system StereoPi with the help of Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 to run deep neural network inference. An experiment was then conducted to test the perceptive system’s robustness, accuracy, and runtime.

There are various diseases that can be screened through human retinal information, which include glaucoma, myopia, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. Hence, an automated system to screen all these diseases will be beneficial to health practitioners. Previously, each of the disease features needs to be designed by hand if the traditional machine learning approach is used. It is hard to process various diseases as a single system through this approach, especially if a new disease that needs to be added to the system does not fit well with the handcrafted features. Thus, a deep learning approach that utilizes learned features is the better alternative as the model can be updated easily if a new disease wants to be added to the system. This paper proposes a modified MobileNet architecture by replacing the top layers with a spatial pyramid pooling module. Three parallel flows of max-pooling operation through kernel sizes of $times$$,times$, and $times$ are implemented to improve the algorithm robustness towards multi-scale input. Atrous convolution is also employed by adding the dilation rate to each of the pointwise convolution operators. The results show that a dilation rate of 4 produces the best mean accuracy of 0.7433 for the 5-fold cross-validation test. The algorithm retains its lightweight nature where the total number of parameters used is around 3 million. The model can be trained better if the number of data among the classes is more or less the same, which will reduce the training bias.","PeriodicalId":142867,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129382867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
