We introduce a novel LoRa-based multi-hop communication architecture as an alternative to the public internet for earthquake early warning (EEW). We examine its effectiveness in generating a meaningful warning window for the New Zealand-based decentralised EEW sensor network implemented by the CRISiSLab operating with the adapted Propagation of Local Undamped Motion (PLUM)-based earthquake detection and node-level data processing. LoRa, popular for low-power, long-range applications, has the disadvantage of long transmission time for time-critical tasks like EEW.

Article Synopsis
- - Clinical fetal monitoring is typically expensive, requires medical professionals, and has issues like false positives and radiation exposure, leading to a demand for more accessible and cost-effective alternatives in obstetrics.
- - This study introduces a wearable device for home use that monitors fetal movements and distress comfortably and non-invasively during the final trimester, using a microcontroller, accelerometer, and a low-cost microphone.
- - The prototype features a GSM-based alert system for immediate notifications and has demonstrated zero false negatives in detecting fetal movements, validating its effectiveness against an open-source database.
People are living longer and rates of age-related diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are accelerating, placing enormous burdens on patients and health care systems. The quality of carbohydrate foods consumed by an individual impacts health. The glycemic index (GI) is a kinetic measure of the rate at which glucose arrives in the blood stream after consuming various carbohydrates.

This study aimed to develop an immunizing agent against S. parauberis using exosomes isolated from the plasma of olive flounders infected experimentally with S.

Among the 48 countries in Asia, 42 were included in the analysis, spanning a period of 20 years. Given that Asia is the predominant contributor, accounting for 53% of global emissions as of 2019, a comprehensive examination at both continental and individual country levels becomes imperative.
