Auxilio: A Sensor-Based Wireless Head-Mounted Mouse for People with Upper Limb Disability

Upper limb disability may be caused either due to accidents, neurological disorders, or even birth defects, imposing limitations and restrictions on the interaction with a computer for the concerned individuals using a generic optical mouse. Our work proposes the design and development of a working prototype of a sensor-based wireless head-mounted Assistive Mouse Controller (AMC), Auxilio, facilitating interaction with a computer for people with upper limb disability. Combining commercially available, low-cost motion and infrared sensors, Auxilio solely utilizes head and cheek movements for mouse control. Its performance has been juxtaposed with that of a generic optical mouse in different pointing tasks as well as in typing tasks, using a virtual keyboard. Furthermore, our work also analyzes the usability of Auxilio, featuring the System Usability Scale. The results of different experiments reveal the practicality and effectiveness of Auxilio as a head-mounted AMC for empowering the upper limb disabled community.Comment: 28 pages, 9 figures, 5 table

Service Gaps of a Banking System: A case study on Basic Bank

Financial liberalization has led to intense competitive pressures and private banks dealing in retail banking are consequently directing their strategies towards increasing service quality level which fosters customer satisfaction and loyalty through improved service quality. This article examines the influence of perceived service quality on customer satisfaction. In this paper, we have used SERVQUAL as a technique to measure service quality and identify gaps in a BASIC Bank. The results of this study showed that there are service quality gaps between customers' expectations and their perceptions in six dimensions. In this issue paying attention to the effective factors on customers' expectations and its relationship with services quality is one of the important issues of the evaluation of services quality. For this purpose, the recent research was performed based on gap analysis model with the purpose of investigating the quality of banking services on the level of BASIC Bank. It was concluded after determining the desirable services from the standpoints of the customers (investigating customers' expectations) and its effective factors and also the examination of the current status of services quality (customers' understandings) that BASIC Bank responses to customers' expectations in all of the branches under investigation and the understood services quality has been always more than services quality expected by the customers.

IoMT-Blockchain based Secured Remote Patient Monitoring Framework for Neuro-Stimulation Device

Biomedical Engineering's Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is helping to improve the accuracy, dependability, and productivity of electronic equipment in the healthcare business. Real-time sensory data from patients may be delivered and subsequently analyzed through rapid development of wearable IoMT devices, such as neuro-stimulation devices with a range of functions. Data from the Internet of Things is gathered, analyzed, and stored in a single location. However, single-point failure, data manipulation, privacy difficulties, and other challenges might arise as a result of centralization. Due to its decentralized nature, blockchain (BC) can alleviate these issues. The viability of establishing a non-invasive remote neurostimulation system employing IoMT-based transcranial Direct Current Stimulation is investigated in this work (tDCS). A hardware-based prototype tDCS device has been developed that can be operated over the internet using an android application. Our suggested framework addresses the problems of IoMTBC-based systems, meets the criteria of real-time remote patient monitoring systems, and incorporates literature best practices in the relevant fields.Comment: 8 Figures and 2 Table

Persistent Overload Control for Backlogged Machine to Machine Communications in Long Term Evolution Advanced Networks

Machine to Machine (M2M) has become one of the most attractive technologies in wireless communications. Despite this, Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) suffered the severe issues in machines initiating random access for all of the Base Stations (BTS). Therefore, this paper investigated the previous/existing methods and come out with the P-persistent scheme. The scheme is proposed with backlogged M2M devices that use to control Radio Access Network (RAN) overload in LTE-A network. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated through MATLAB based simulation. Through the evaluation, it can be seen that the M2M devices arrivals follow Beta distribution use for calculating the throughput and probabilities of collision, success and idle for M2M devices. The first case when P has a high value and the second case P have low value, this result show that in first case the success probability of M2M device is high about 73% limited number of M2M devices and have lower collision probability but in the other case M2M devices have lower success probability about 26% with high collision probability

Role of Root Canal Sealer on the Post Operative Pain: a Randomized Control Trial

Background: Recent innovations in pulp treatment and root canal sealers include bioceramic. It is proven how bioceramics affect root restoration, radiculer perforation, and vital pulp therapy. Therefore, it is anticipated that using bioceramics as a root canal sealer in traditional root canal therapy for non-vital teeth will have positive results. Methods: In this investigation, 60 nonvital teeth with periapical lesions were included. These teeth were separated into two groups of 30 teeth each and treated as follows: Group A: Bioceramics (Endocequence BCTM) sealer was used to obturate these teeth. Group B was obturated using a sealer based on Zinc Oxide Eugenol (Tubli-sealTM). Participants were contacted after 3, 6, and 12 months. The clinical outcome was assessed by assessing pain by VAS, tenderness on percussion, and using the Chi-square test and unpaired student t-test for testing differences between the two groups, with a p value of 0.05 regarded as statistically significant. Results: It was discovered that at 6 and 12 months of observation, 100% of teeth treated with Bioceramics' root canal sealer and 93.3% of teeth treated with Zinc Oxide Eugenol did not exhibit any discomfort or soreness to percussion. The differences between the groups treated with Zinc Oxide Eugenol and Bioceramics root canal sealer were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion:It may be determined that both bioceramic-based sealers (Endosequence BC) and zinc oxide-eugenol-based sealers (Tubli-seal TM) are efficient in reducing post-operative discomfort after endodontic therapy. As a result, sealer has no effect on post-operative pain relief. Update Dent. Coll. j: 2023; 13(1): 31-3

Effect of sulphur on growth, yield and yield attributes in onion (Allium cepa L.)

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of different doses of sulphur on growth and yield performances of onion. The experiment comprised of five levels of sulphur (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 kg S ha-1) and was laid out in RCBD design with four replications and other fertilizers were applied according to recommended doses. Individual bulb weight, dry weight of root, dry weight of bulb, dry weight of shoot, dry weight of leaf, total dry matter (TDM), leaf area index (LAI), absolute growth rate (AGR), relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate (NAR), individual bulb weight, bulb yield of onion and sulphur content were increased significantly with the application of sulphur fertilizer. The maximum sulphur content (0.49%) of onion bulb was observed in 40 kg S ha-1 followed by 20 kg S ha-1(0.45 %), 60 (0.45%) and 80 kg S ha-1 (0.44%) at average of 45 and 85 days after transplanting. However, number of splitted bulb, bulb diameter, neck diameter, and neck bulb ratio were not significantly affected by different doses of sulphur application. Application of 40 kg S ha-1 resulted in the highest yield (10.65 t ha-1) among the different doses of sulphur. The present study clearly indicates that sulphur at 40 kg ha-1 may be recommended for better growth and yield of onion under silty loam in texture having pH around 6.5
