These events can lead to cellular and chemical changes in the brain, disrupting neural pathways and causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, and emotional changes. Raising awareness about mTBI and implementing preventive measures to reduce its incidence and mitigate its impact on affected individuals is crucial. Head kinematics measurement is one of the quickest methods for making on-field initial diagnosis decisions. This paper describes the development of an open-source, low-cost, real-time device that can be attached to a helmet. It monitors the head kinematics data (linear acceleration and rotational speed). It sends it over a Wi-Fi connection to a web browser of a monitor device (PC or Mobile phone) connected to the same network so the user who observes the data can call a doctor to check mTBI symptoms. The device utilizes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and high-g (g = 9.8 m/s²) linear accelerometers interfaced with an Internet of Things (IoT) based microcontroller (WeMos D1 mini) programmed using the Arduino IDE. This setup facilitates data visualisation through an interactive HTML webpage, enabling the user (e.g., coach, medical personnel) to assess the data and potentially recommend seeking medical attention if concerning readings are observed. The application of this device can be in different areas such as road accidents, contact sports, and mine workers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34311,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Sensors","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 101863"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143551758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To mitigate these effects and support timely pavement repairs, continuous road condition monitoring is essential. Vibration-based measurement systems have gained prominence in recent years, but their accuracy can be significantly compromised by vehicle maneuvers, particularly on urban or curvy roads. Despite this, the influence of aggressive maneuvers has largely been overlooked in previous studies. In this paper, we address this gap by presenting a comprehensive investigation into the impact of abrupt maneuvers on vibration-based road quality measurement. We introduce a novel, computationally efficient soft-sensor algorithm that detects and isolates aggressive maneuvers using sensor data from existing road quality measurement systems, classifying them into four categories. This algorithm combines rule-based methods with machine learning, offering enhanced accuracy and lower computational costs compared to alternative approaches. In this way, the overall maneuver classification achieves an accuracy of 93%. By applying the introduced approach to identify and correct the influence of maneuvers, we achieved a 7% increase in accuracy of pavement quality classification in a suburban environment and a 10% increase in an urban environment. The proposed solution can be easily integrated into current vibration-based road quality measurement frameworks, enhancing their performance while maintaining scalability and low operational cost.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34311,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Sensors","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 101816"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143376889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In petrochemical industries, the height of urea in a vessel can be measured using the nuclear level gauging method, which is a non-destructive technique. Therefore, the energy of the gamma emitting source, the design, and arrangement of the source geometry (including the point or rod sources), and the detector material (NaI (Tl) crystal or plastic scintillator) are crucial parameters. In this research, a nuclear level gauge, including the source, detector, and reactor containing urea and gases at high temperatures and pressures, was simulated by MCNPX Monte Carlo code and the results were compared and validated with experimental values. Then, the detector's response was evaluated and optimized based on the different arrangements of the radioactive source and its distances, as well as the type and geometry of the detector, and the best arrangement was selected. The comparison of the simulation results and the resulting analysis indicated that using point sources at specific distances (three points) instead of rod sources is a viable alternative due to its simpler structure, higher accuracy and stability, and lower production cost compared to the high cost of rod sources. Additionally, for accurate level and height gauging, rod detectors should be replaced with point detectors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34311,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Sensors","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 101817"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143386257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Internet of Things enables the remote sensing, identification, and control of physical things via the utilisation of existing network infrastructure. By using this function, it becomes feasible to integrate elements of the physical world into computerised systems, resulting in enhanced levels of efficiency, precision, and financial profitability. The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses a diverse array of applications. The Internet of Things (IoT) may be used in several sectors such as healthcare, smart cities, smart homes, transportation, logistics, agriculture, and smart traffic management. The quantity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is increasing rapidly and exponentially. The surge in numbers is accompanied by a significant escalation in security vulnerabilities. This article presents the development of an intrusion detection system for the Internet of Things using machine learning and feature selection techniques. The system aims to accurately categorise and forecast attacks on IoT devices. This approach utilises the publicly accessible NSL KDD dataset as its input dataset. During the data collecting process for NSL-KDD, all symbolic qualities are transformed into their corresponding numerical representations. Conversely, all numerical features are translated back into symbolic form at the conclusion of the procedure. Principal component analysis is employed to achieve the objective of attribute extraction. After completing the preparation step, the data set is classified using several machine learning techniques such as support vector machine, linear regression, and random forest. Evaluating the veracity, exactness, and retrieval rate of different machine learning algorithms is crucial for choosing the most effective ones.

However, the fog cloud servers suffer from unreliable and non-secure routing and limited power resources when mobile users are mobile. This paper introduces a scalable framework (SFRRDC) for reliable wireless routing and secure data transfer. We aim to address security and reliability issues by combining pheromone termite (PT) characteristics and ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms for high-performance, more secure, highly reliable data transfer among the fog cloud servers. For that, the proposed SFRRDC supports a user authentication mining (UAM) algorithm to secure the confidentiality of the users. Based on testing results, it is confirmed that the proposed SFRRDC provides a better solution for confidentiality and fast routing for a wireless telecommunication system. The results show that the proposed SFRRDC framework's energy consumption outperforms competing frameworks' energy consumption with a better-achieved latency. For example, the suggested SFRRDC method uses 748.5 J during 72 h of operation, competing frameworks use more energy, and DDFQFR uses 976.22 J. It also shows that the proposed SFRRDC is immune to malicious attacks.
