Designing an Intelligent System to Support the Elderly

Loneliness among older adults represents a significant societal problem and an important application domain for affective computing. 40% of older adults experience loneliness, which has been linked with various health problems, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death ,by using android studio environment the smart android application built to measure and scale the loneliness level, the Results shows the effects on elderly that uses the application this research built which is InTouch, helps them reduce loneliness and it’s risks upon older people health, direct and indirect strategies directly by sending message with the knowledge of the users and indirectly by sending sms message to their chosen ones (their close friends           list)

An experimental study of cathodic protection for chloride contaminated reinforced concrete

Cathodic protection (CP) is being increasingly used on reinforced concrete structures to protect steel reinforcing bars from corrosion in aggressive conditions. Due to the complexity of environmental conditions, the design specifications in national and international standards are still open to discussion to achieve both sufficient and efficient protection for reinforced concrete structures in engineering practices. This paper reports an experimental research to investigate the influence of chloride content on concrete resistivity, rebar corrosion rate and the performance of CP operation using different current densities. It aims to understand the correlation between the chloride content and concrete resistivity together with the CP current requirement, and to investigate the precision of the CP design criteria in standards
