Grounded IOT protocol for reliable computer vision in industrial applications

The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) enables collaborative service provisioning among interconnected devices by leveraging socially inspired trust relationships. This paper proposes a socially driven SIoT protocol for trust-aware service selection, enabling dynamic friendship formation and ranking among distributed service-providing devices based on observed execution behaviour.

Radio’s Relevance in the Time of Artificial Intelligence

Radio has always carried a certain charm — intimate yet expansive, simple yet powerful. It slips quietly into daily life, asking for little but offering companionship, information and a sense of belonging.

Enhanced Release of Cyanotoxins in Freshwater Lakes: Insights on the Causal Mechanisms and Eutrophication Dynamics in the North Bank Plains of Brahmaputra Valley, Assam, India

  • Shallow lakes in the sub-tropics are more prone to eutrophication and cyanotoxin pollution.
  • Microcystin-LR is a commonly occurring cyanotoxin in water bodies and a potent toxin for living organisms.
  • MC-LR depends on harmful algal blooms (HABs), trophic state index (TSI), and bio physicochemical variables of water bodies.
  • Ecohydrological monitoring and epidemiological interventions will help in the systematic remediation of cyanotoxin pollution
