Successful transmission of online multimedia streams in wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) is a big challenge due to their limited bandwidth and power resources. The existing WSN protocols are not completely appropriate for multimedia communication. The effectiveness of WMSNs varies, and it depends on the correct location of its sensor nodes in the field. Thus, maximizing the multimedia coverage is the most important issue in the delivery of multimedia contents. The nodes in WMSNs are either static or mobile. Thus, the node connections change continuously due to the mobility in wireless multimedia communication that causes an additional energy consumption, and synchronization loss between neighboring nodes. In this paper, we introduce an Optimized Hidden Node Detection (OHND) paradigm. The OHND consists of three phases: hidden node detection, message exchange, and location detection. These three phases aim to maximize the multimedia node coverage, and improve energy efficiency, hidden node detection capacity, and packet delivery ratio. OHND helps multimedia sensor nodes to compute the directional coverage. Furthermore, an OHND is used to maintain a continuous node- continuous neighbor discovery process in order to handle the mobility of the nodes. We implement our proposed algorithms by using a network simulator (NS2). The simulation results demonstrate that nodes are capable of maintaining direct coverage and detecting hidden nodes in order to maximize coverage and multimedia node mobility. To evaluate the performance of our proposed algorithms, we compared our results with other known approaches.

Patent Blue V (PBV) is extensively used in sentinel lymph node identification in cancer surgery, potentially leading to an increased incidence of hypersensitivity reactions. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with suspected PBV hypersensitivity, at our center from 2010 to 2023. Skin prick tests (SPT) were performed on all patients, followed by intradermal tests (IDT) if SPT was negative.

Bacterial resistance has emerged as one of the greatest threats to human health, and phages have shown tremendous potential in addressing the issue of drug-resistant bacteria by lysing host. The identification of phage-host interactions (PHI) is crucial for addressing bacterial infections. Some existing computational methods for predicting PHI are suboptimal in terms of prediction efficiency due to the limited types of available information.

This paper presents a ground motion prediction (GMP) model using an artificial neural network (ANN) for shallow earthquakes, aimed at improving earthquake hazard safety evaluation. The proposed model leverages essential input variables such as moment magnitude, fault type, epicentral distance, and soil type, with the output variable being peak ground acceleration (PGA) at 5% damping. To develop this model, 885 data pairs were obtained from the Pacific Engineering Research Center, providing a robust dataset for training and validation.
