Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2875: Brain Networks Modulation during Simple and Complex Gait: A & ldquo;Mobile Brain/Body Imaging & rdquo; Study
This study employs a mobile brain/body imaging (MoBI) platform with high-density electroencephalography (hd-EEG) to explore event-related desynchronization and synchronization (ERD/ERS) during overground walking. Simultaneous to hdEEG, we recorded gait spatiotemporal parameters. Participants were asked to walk under usual walking and dual-task walking conditions. For data analysis, we extracted ERD/ERS in α, β, and γ bands from 17 selected regions of interest encompassing not only the sensorimotor cerebral network but also the cognitive and affective networks. A correlation analysis...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2871: Smart Water Quality Monitoring with IoT Wireless Sensor Networks
ngo
Traditional laboratory-based water quality monitoring and testing approaches are soon to be outdated, mainly because of the need for real-time feedback and immediate responses to emergencies. The more recent wireless sensor network (WSN)-based techniques are evolving to alleviate the problems of monitoring, coverage, and energy management, among others. The inclusion of the Internet of Things (IoT) in WSN techniques can further lead to their improvement in delivering, in real time, effective and efficient water-monitoring systems, reaping from the benefits of IoT wireless systems. However, they still suffer from th...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2878: Real-Time Multi-Sensor Joint Fault Diagnosis Method for Permanent Magnet Traction Drive Systems Based on Structural Analysis
Zhiwen Chen
Sensor faults are one of the most common faults that cause performance degradation or functional loss in permanent magnet traction drive systems (PMTDSs). To quickly diagnose faulty sensors, this paper proposes a real-time joint diagnosis method for multi-sensor faults based on structural analysis. Firstly, based on limited monitoring signals on board, a structured model of the system was established using the structural analysis method. The isolation and detectability of faulty sensors were analyzed using the Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition method. Secondly, the minimum collision set method ...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2877: Dual-Mode Solidly Mounted Resonator-Based Sensor for Temperature and Humidity Detection and Discrimination
Clement
Sensors based on solidly mounted resonators (SMRs) exhibit a good set of properties, such as high sensitivity, fast response, low resolution limit and low production cost, which makes them an appealing technology for sensing applications. However, they can suffer from cross-sensitivity issues, as their response can be altered by undesirable ambient factors, such as temperature and humidity variations. In this work we propose a method to discriminate humidity variations from the general frequency response using an SMR specifically manufactured to operate in a dual-mode (displaying two close resonances). The two ...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2880: An Adaptive Trust Evaluation Model for Detecting Abnormal Nodes in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
i Jiang
Underwater acoustic sensor networks have a wide range of applications in both civil and military fields, but the complex and changing underwater environment makes them vulnerable to multiple security threats. Trust mechanisms are effective ways to enhance network security and reliability. In order to improve the accuracy of trust evaluation and the detection rate of abnormal nodes, this paper proposes an adaptive trust evaluation model based on fuzzy logic. This model adopts a variable weight fuzzy comprehensive evaluation algorithm to dynamically adjust the weights of three direct trust indicators to ensure th...

Lorenzelli
Packaging solutions have recently evolved to become smart and intelligent thanks to technologies such as RFID tracking and communication systems, but the integration of sensing functionality in these systems is still under active development. In this paper, chipless RFID humidity sensors suitable for smart packaging are proposed together with a novel strategy to tune their performances and their operating range. The sensors are flexible, fast, low-cost and easy to fabricate and can be read wirelessly. The sensitivity and the humidity range where they can be used are adjustable by changing one of the sensor&...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2851: An Underwater Source Location Privacy Protection Scheme Based on Game Theory in a Multi-Attacker Cooperation Scenario
aofang Zhao
Ensuring source location privacy is crucial for the security of underwater acoustic sensor networks amid the growing use of marine environmental monitoring. However, the traditional source location privacy scheme overlooks multi-attacker cooperation strategies and also has the problem of high communication overhead. This paper addresses the aforementioned limitations by proposing an underwater source location privacy protection scheme based on game theory under the scenario of multiple cooperating attackers (SLP-MACGT). First, a transformation method of a virtual coordinate system is proposed to conceal the...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2853: Self-Supervised Joint Learning for pCLE Image Denoising
guo Zhang
Probe-based confocal laser endoscopy (pCLE) has emerged as a powerful tool for disease diagnosis, yet it faces challenges such as the formation of hexagonal patterns in images due to the inherent characteristics of fiber bundles. Recent advancements in deep learning offer promise in image denoising, but the acquisition of clean-noisy image pairs for training networks across all potential scenarios can be prohibitively costly. Few studies have explored training denoising networks on such pairs. Here, we propose an innovative self-supervised denoising method. Our approach integrates noise prediction networks, i...

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2024 Apr 29:zbae051. doi: 10.1093/bbb/zbae051. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are the natural UV absorbing compounds with antioxidant activity found in microalgae and macroalgae. We collected red algae Asparagopsis taxiformis, Meristotheca japonica, and Polysiphonia senticulosa from Nagasaki, where UV radiation is more intense than in Hokkaido, and investigated the effect of UV radiation on MAAs content. It was suggested that A. taxiformis and M. japonica contained shinorine and palythine, while UV absorbing compound in P. senticulosa could not be identified. Th...

Hsp70 Knockdown in the Brine Shrimp Artemia franciscana: Implication on Reproduction, Immune Response and Embryonic Cuticular Structure
Mar Biotechnol (NY). 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s10126-024-10318-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe potential functional role(s) of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) in the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana, a crucial crustacean species for aquaculture and stress response studies, was investigated in this study. Though we have previously reported that Hsp70 knockdown may have little or no impact on Artemia development, the gestational survival and number of offspring released by adult females were impaired by obscuring Hsp70 synthesis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that several cuticle and chitin synthetic genes were downr...
