Mobile crowd sensing (MCS) is an application that collects data from a network of conscientious volunteers and implements it for the common or personal benefit. This contribution proposes an implementation that collects the data from hypertensive patients, thus creating an experimental database using the cloud service Platform as a Service (PaaS). The challenge is to perform the analysis without the main diagnostic feature for hypertension-the blood pressure. The other problems consider the data reliability in an environment full of artifacts and with limited bandwidth and battery resources. In order to motivate the MCS volunteers, a feedback about the patient's current status is created, provided by the means of machine-learning (ML) techniques. Two techniques are investigated and the Random Forest algorithm yielded the best results. The proposed platform, with slight modifications, can be adapted to the patients with other cardiovascular problems.

Lesions in the mesentery are unique from other potential biopsy targets in the abdomen or pelvis for several reasons. Mesenteric lesions are among the deepest in the abdomen and are often surrounded by or adjacent to small bowel or colon. Mesenteric vasculature is often crowded, and traversing the mesentery often involves crossing multiple vascular planes.

Article Synopsis
- Mobile robots are gaining popularity for remote communication and human-robot interaction, but controlling them can be tricky due to factors like power usage and task selection.
- This paper presents a new method to improve mobile robotic networks by first filtering out less suitable robots for tasks and then using a fuzzy algorithm to manage robot recharging efficiently.
- Additionally, using fog servers enhances data transfer speeds and processing capabilities, leading to a slight increase in accuracy and power efficiency compared to previous methods.

This study investigates the role of positive cognitive reappraisal (PCR) flexibility and variability in mental health in response to real-life stressors among college students. We employed ecological momentary assessment and intervention through ReApp, a mobile app designed to train and promote PCR. We analyzed data from the intervention group of a randomized controlled trial with a total of 100 participants who used ReApp for three weeks.

Occlusion presents a major obstacle in the development of pedestrian detection technologies utilizing computer vision. This challenge includes both inter-class occlusion caused by environmental objects obscuring pedestrians, and intra-class occlusion resulting from interactions between pedestrians. In complex and variable urban settings, these compounded occlusion patterns critically limit the efficacy of both one-stage and two-stage pedestrian detectors, leading to suboptimal detection performance.
