Modelling, Characterization of Data-Dependent and Process-Dependent Errors in DNA Data Storage.

Using DNA as the medium to store information has recently been recognized as a promising solution for long-term data storage. While several system prototypes have been demonstrated, the error characteristics in DNA data storage are discussed with limited content. Due to the data and process variations from experiment to experiment, the error variation and its effect on data recovery remain to be uncovered.

Wireless Communications for Smart Manufacturing and Industrial IoT: Existing Technologies, 5G and Beyond.

Smart manufacturing is a vision and major driver for change in today's industry. The goal of smart manufacturing is to optimize manufacturing processes through constantly monitoring, controlling, and adapting processes towards more efficient and personalised manufacturing. This requires and relies on technologies for connected machines incorporating a variety of computation, sensing, actuation, and machine to machine communications modalities.

Formation Control of Automated Guided Vehicles in the Presence of Packet Loss.

This paper presents the formation tracking problem for non-holonomic automated guided vehicles. Specifically, we focus on a decentralized leader-follower approach using linear quadratic regulator control. We study the impact of communication packet loss-containing the position of the leader-on the performance of the presented formation control scheme.

High capacity DNA data storage with variable-length Oligonucleotides using repeat accumulate code and hybrid mapping.

Background: With the inherent high density and durable preservation, DNA has been recently recognized as a distinguished medium to store enormous data over millennia. To overcome the limitations existing in a recently reported high-capacity DNA data storage while achieving a competitive information capacity, we are inspired to explore a new coding system that facilitates the practical implementation of DNA data storage with high capacity.

Result: In this work, we devised and implemented a DNA data storage scheme with variable-length oligonucleotides (oligos), where a hybrid DNA mapping scheme that converts digital data to DNA records is introduced.

Oligo Design with Single Primer Binding Site for High Capacity DNA-Based Data Storage.

DNA has become an attractive medium for long-term data archiving due to its extremely high storage density and longevity. Short single-stranded DNAs, called oligonucleotides (oligos), have been designed and synthesized to store digital data. Previous works designed the oligos with a pair of primer binding sites (PBSs) (each with a length of around 200) attached at the two ends of each basic readable data block.

Sensor Fusion and State Estimation of IoT Enabled Wind Energy Conversion System.

The use of renewable energy has increased dramatically over the past couple of decades. Wind farms, consisting of wind turbines, play a vital role in the generation of renewable energy. For monitoring and maintenance purposes, a wind turbine has a variety of sensors to measure the state of the turbine.

Comparison of vision disorders between children in mainstream and special education classes in government primary schools in Malaysia.

Introduction: The visual status of children with learning disabilities has not been extensively studied. This study aimed to compare vision disorders between children in mainstream classes and those with learning disabilities attending special education classes in government primary schools in Malaysia.

Methods: In this cross-sectional comparative study, 60 school children (30 from mainstream classes and 30 from special education classes) who were matched in age (6-12 years old) and ethnicity (Malay, Chinese and Indian) were examined.
