In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), the significance of device diagnostics and prognostics is paramount for guaranteeing the dependable operation and upkeep of intricate systems. The capacity to precisely diagnose and preemptively predict potential failures holds the potential to considerably amplify maintenance efficiency, diminish downtime, and optimize resource allocation. The wealth of information offered by telemetry data gathered from IoT devices presents an opportunity for diagnostics and prognostics applications.

Idiopathic megacolon and megarectum are rare clinical conditions characterized by irreversible dilation of the colon and rectum without an identifiable organic cause. The underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood, though hypotheses suggest abnormalities in the enteric nervous system or smooth muscle dysfunction. These conditions present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, especially in cases refractory to conservative treatment.

Programming courses in computer science play a crucial role as they often serve as students' initial exposure to computer programming. Many university students find introductory courses overwhelming due to the vast amount of information they need to grasp. The traditional teacher-lecturer model used in university lecture halls frequently leads to low motivation and student participation.

The wheat crop that fulfills 35% of human food demand is facing several problems due to a lack of transparency, security, reliability, and traceability in the existing agriculture supply chain. Many systems have been developed for the agriculture supply chain to overcome such issues, however, monopolistic centralized control is the biggest hurdle to realizing the use of such systems. It has eventually gained consumers' trust in branded products and rejected other products due to the lack of traceable supply chain information.

In Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, it is imperative to identify the subjects with mild cognitive impairment before clinical symptoms of AD appear. This work proposes a technique for decision support in identifying subjects who will show transition from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the future. We used robust predictors from multivariate MRI-derived biomarkers and neuropsychological measures and tracked their longitudinal trajectories to predict signs of AD in the MCI population.

An accessory liver lobe (ALL) is the presence of ectopic hepatic tissue which has developed as a result of excessive hepatic development. The majority of patients with ALL remain asymptomatic and their findings are incidental, either after undergoing radiological imaging or during surgery for other pathology. However, in a small number of patients who have a pedunculated ALL, torsion of the lobe on its axis can cause pain, often due to ischaemia of the lobe.

Mild cognitive impairment is a preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD). For effective treatment of AD, it is important to identify mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients who are at a high risk of developing AD over the course of time. In this study, autoregressive modelling of multiple heterogeneous predictors of Alzheimer's disease is performed to capture their evolution over time.

The goal of this study is to introduce a nonparametric technique for predicting conversion from Mild Cognitive impairment (MCI)-to-Alzheimer's disease (AD). Progression of a slowly progressing disease such as AD benefits from the use of longitudinal data; however, research till now is limited due to the insufficient patient data and short follow-up time. A small dataset size invalidates the estimation of underlying disease progression model; hence, a supervised nonparametric method is proposed.
