Applications of Nanosatellites in Constellation: Overview and Feasibility Study for a Space Mission Based on Internet of Space Things Applications Used for AIS and Fire Detection.

In some geographically challenging areas (such as deserts, seas, and forests) where direct connectivity to a terrestrial network is difficult, space communication is the only option. In these remote locations, Internet of Space Things (IoST) applications can also be used successfully. In this paper, the proposed payload for IoST applications demonstrates how an Automatic Identification System (AIS) and a fire detection system can be used effectively.

Automatic segmentation and melanoma detection based on color and texture features in dermoscopic images.

Purpose: Melanoma is known as the most aggressive form of skin cancer and one of the fastest growing malignant tumors worldwide. Several computer-aided diagnosis systems for melanoma have been proposed, still, the algorithms encounter difficulties in the early stage of lesions. This paper aims to discriminate melanoma and benign skin lesion in dermoscopic images.

Target site recognition by a diversity-generating retroelement.

Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) are in vivo sequence diversification machines that are widely distributed in bacterial, phage, and plasmid genomes. They function to introduce vast amounts of targeted diversity into protein-encoding DNA sequences via mutagenic homing. Adenine residues are converted to random nucleotides in a retrotransposition process from a donor template repeat (TR) to a recipient variable repeat (VR).
