Article Synopsis
  • - Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness globally, and early diagnosis through regular screening is essential, though challenging due to the lack of noticeable early symptoms.
  • - There’s a pressing need for effective systems to detect DR, with deep learning techniques like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) showing promise in classifying the condition.
  • - The study improved the accuracy of existing models for DR detection, achieving F1 scores of 84% and 87% on two datasets (EYE-PACS and DeepDRiD) by implementing Gaussian Smooth filters and data augmentation.

Seawater desalination is an affordable and viable solution to the growing freshwater scarcity problem in water scarce regions. The current study focuses on cost analysis of Vacuum Membrane Distillation (VMD) setup for removing salts from water. The membrane used in the flat sheet VMD module was Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with 250 mm × 200 mm dimensions and 165 µm thickness.

Article Synopsis
  • Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has gained attention as collaborative robots help workers in tasks while ensuring their safety and comfort.
  • The paper introduces a human-following motion planning and control method that uses a 3-D sensing system to track a worker’s movements and predict their future positions.
  • Experimental results demonstrate that this system allows the robot to effectively deliver tools and parts to a worker on the move, enhancing efficiency in a factory setting.
