Abstract Fire rescue challenges and solutions have evolved from straightforward plane rescue to encompass 3D space due to the rise of high-rise city buildings. Hence, this study facilitates a system with quick and simplified on-site launching and generates real-time location data, enabling fire rescuers to arrive at the intended spot faster and correctly for effective and precise rescue. Auto-positioning with step-by-step instructions is proposed when launching the locating system, while no extra measuring instrument like Total Station (TS) is needed. Real-time location tracking is provided via a 3D space real-time locating system (RTLS) constructed using Ultra-wide Bandwidth technology (UWB), which requires… More >

Abstract This paper proposes a methodology for transforming a position description expressed relatively in an indirect spatial reference system into an absolute position in a direct spatial reference system. This problem requires (1) to formalize the relative location elements, here in the form of a triplet model, which is used as a basis for the transformation from relative to absolute position, and (2) to investigate how the imperfection of the natural language can be taken into account in the modeling process. We propose to use fuzzy spatial objects and we will compare their implementations to identify the most appropriate approach to… More >

Abstract Agricultural projects in different parts of the world depend on underground water wells. Recently, there have been many unfortunate incidents in which children have died in abandoned underground wells. Providing topographical information for these wells is a prerequisite to protecting people from the dangers of falling into them, especially since most of these wells become buried over time. Many solutions have been developed recently, most with the aim of exploring these well areas. However, these systems suffer from several limitations, including high complexity, large size, or inefficiency. This paper focuses on the development of a smart exploration unit that is… More >

Abstract To prevent economic, social, and ecological damage, fire detection and management at an early stage are significant yet challenging. Although computationally complex networks have been developed, attention has been largely focused on improving accuracy, rather than focusing on real-time fire detection. Hence, in this study, the authors present an efficient fire detection framework termed E-FireNet for real-time detection in a complex surveillance environment. The proposed model architecture is inspired by the VGG16 network, with significant modifications including the entire removal of Block-5 and tweaking of the convolutional layers of Block-4. This results in higher performance with a reduced number of… More >

Abstract Presently, smart cities play a vital role to enhance the quality of living among human beings in several ways such as online shopping, e-learning, e-healthcare, etc. Despite the benefits of advanced technologies, issues are also existed from the transformation of the physical word into digital word, particularly in online social networks (OSN). Cyberbullying (CB) is a major problem in OSN which needs to be addressed by the use of automated natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) approaches. This article devises a novel search and rescue optimization with machine learning enabled cybersecurity model for online social networks, named SRO-MLCOSN… More >

Abstract Wireless sensor network (WSN) is an emerging technology which find useful in several application areas such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, border surveillance, etc. Several issues that exist in the designing of WSN are node localization, coverage, energy efficiency, security, and so on. In spite of the issues, node localization is considered an important issue, which intends to calculate the coordinate points of unknown nodes with the assistance of anchors. The efficiency of the WSN can be considerably influenced by the node localization accuracy. Therefore, this paper presents a modified search and rescue optimization based node localization technique (MSRO-NLT) for WSN.… More >

Abstract The antiknock capability and thermal protection performance of rescue capsules mainly depend on the structural design of the cabin. By designing a new type of cabin structure, it can resist the impact of explosion shock waves and thermal shocks. In this paper, a new honeycomb-like cabin is proposed; the model has a novel thermal insulation layer design. Then, the antiknock capabilities and thermal protection analysis are carried out by using computer software. The “Autodyn” analysis module in ANSYS Workbench 17.0 has been used to simulate the explosion of TNT with a certain quality in a single room. The pressure map… More >

Abstract In this paper we show how the quantum-based particle swarm optimization (QPSO) method is adopted to derive a new derivation for robotics application in search and rescue simulations. The new derivation, called the Quantum Robot Darwinian PSO (QRDPSO) is inspired from another PSO-based algorithm, the Robot Darwinian PSO (RDPSO). This paper includes comprehensive details on the QRDPSO formulation and parameters control which show how the swarm overcomes communication constraints to avoid obstacles and achieve optimal solution. The results show the QRDPSO is an upgrade over RDPSO in terms of convergence speed, trajectory control, obstacle avoidance and connectivity performance of the… More >

Abstract The goal of this study was to determine the effect of putrescine, added to the culture medium, on the in vitro development of stenospermic grape (Vitis vinifera L) embryos. The cross breedings of Perlón x G.C88552 and Perlón x Argentina were used. 0 (control), 2 and 4 mM of putrescine were added to the immature seed’s culture medium. In Perlón x Argentina, 2mM of putrescine statistically increased the percentage of total embryos, direct germination, polyembryos and normal plants. In Perlón x G.C88552, only 2 mM of putrescine increased all the variables considered, eventually tripling the percentage of normal plants obtained.… More >

Abstract With the number of submarines increasing rapidly, there are many accidents occurred during submarines’s cruising. Especially the universal attentions to submarine rescue are awaken by the Russian Navy’s second-generation strategic nuclear submarine "Kursk" accident.
One of the important means for submarine rescue is SRC. Since 70th last century abroad, Navy’s submarine rescue armies have been equipped with the SRCs. Entering 21th-century, it is necessary for mating exercises between SRC and disabled submarine(DISSUB) chosen still by Navy’s submarine rescue armies in Navy’s large military drills at home and abroad. The dedicated mating platforms for the SRCs are also fitted to… More >
