However, sEMG delivers information of electrical activity mainly due to superficial muscles over a wide sensing field. Additional physiological processes may be elucidated by combining sEMG data with other measurements, such as Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging, to assess muscular activity due to increased vascularization. In any case, the choice of the electrode material and shape influences the quality of measured data; "wet" electrodes (Ag/AgCl) are typically used for non-invasive sEMG measurements, whereas "dry" electrodes (i.e. stainless steel, copper-nickel) are preferred for electrical impedance measurements. Here, the authors explore the use of different types of electrode materials to measure sEMG upper limb motion signals, in comparison with Ag/AgCl electrodes, to determine a suitable electrode array that can accommodate both sEMG and EIT measurements. sEMG data was obtained from 10 healthy volunteers and processed using Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and Principal Component Spectral Analysis (PCSA) for Principal Component Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR). The results suggest that steel electrodes perform closer to commonly used Ag/AgCl electrodes, offering the potential for a developing a multimodal sEMG/EIT wearable measurement system for upper limb motion evaluation.

But developing an automatic detection system to be applied in smart measurement devices is not a trivial task, especially in obtaining a low computational cost method that can be integrated into hardware, due to the need to coordinate the functions of data acquisition, preprocessing, detection, and data exchange in real-time. It has been demonstrated that FPGA is a sufficiently fast hardware platform that allows the detection of disturbances of transient nature. In this work, a methodology for detection and extraction of the distinctive features of seven simple power quality disturbances based on Discrete Wavelet Transform and methods of energy and RMS values extraction, implemented in real-time using the Artix-7 FPGA from Xilinx, is proposed. From implementing the proposed methodology on the hardware platform, the result obtained is an algorithm that allows extracting the distinctive features of the analyzed disturbances, making optimal use of memory and processing resources, which makes this procedure efficient for its implementation in real time.

This interest arises from the fact that disturbances associated with power quality directly affect the equipment connected to the grid, leading to malfunctions or complete equipment failure. For this reason, efforts have been made to optimize the methods for detecting these disturbances occurring in the electrical network.In this study, a Python algorithm is proposed to improve the detection and classification of seven types of simple electrical disturbances (sag, swell, flicker, oscillatory transient, interruption, harmonics, and notch). The algorithm varies the combination of characteristic vectors extracted (energy, mean, standard deviation, skewness, Shannon entropy, RMS, kurtosis, and logEnergy entropy) obtained from the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) through Multiresolution Analysis (MRA) with 6 levels of detail. A database was generated by sampling three thousand five hundred electrical disturbances at 10 kHz. The experiment involved connecting a Beagle Bone Black (BBB) development board to a BK Precision 4064 arbitrary waveform generator.Combinations of two characteristic vectors were extracted from each signal in the database to evaluate them using the Random Forest classifier and determine which one is most suitable for this type of analysis based on their accuracy percentages.

Moreover, soil moisture measurements play an essential role in sustainable development since they allow elucidating information about the synergistic relationship between the processes involved in agricultural production [1]. One of the factors that influence the correct use of water resources for irrigation is the correct characterization of soil hydraulic conductivity properties [2]. Therefore, planning and allocation of water resources requires accurate knowledge of soil hydraulic conductivity properties. Electromagnetic soil humidity sensors (i. e. capacitive, Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)) allow rapid on-site qualification; however, they produce a point-wise or volume-wise which may be insufficient to correctly characterize soils. Here, the authors
present the development and test of an IoT Electronic Wetting Front Detector for measuring the dynamics of water propagation in soils, dividing the soils depth in discrete regions.

However, many of the interfaces currently developed are graphical interfaces that have been surpassed for the new needs of users. Hence, the use of multimodal interfaces, both visual and voice, is necessary to be more friendly and easy to use by final users. To do this, it would be necessary to redesign current graphic systems to integrate voice interfaces. This work shows that it is possible to develop multimodal interfaces starting from existing graphical interfaces by adding voice interfaces through previously designed dialogue and interactions. Tests were carried out through Web forms using feature extraction techniques, where satisfactory results were obtained.

When the process to analyze PQD is migrated to real-time platforms, the possible occurrence of a phase mismatch can affect the algorithm’s accuracy; this paper evaluates phase shifting as an additional stage in signal acquisition for detecting and classifying eight types of single power quality disturbances. According to their mathematical models, a set of disturbances was generated using an arbitrary waveform generator BK Precision 4064. The acquisition, detection, and classification stages were embedded into a BeagleBone Black. The detection stage was performed using multiresolution analysis. The feature vectors of the acquired signals were obtained from the combination of Shannon entropy and log-energy entropy. For classification purposes, four types of classifiers were trained: multilayer perceptron, K-nearest neighbors, probabilistic neural network, and decision tree. The results show that incorporating a phase-shifting stage as a preprocessing stage significantly improves the classification accuracy in all cases.

A trustworthy agricultural traceability system built on the Ethereum Blockchain was suggested to solve these issues. On the other hand, the use of Blockchain and IPFS (Interplanetary File System) dual storage architecture was created to lessen the blockchain’s storage demands for effective information queries and prevent data explosion. To stop the leakage of sensitive and other critical data, a method for data privacy protection is suggested based on cryptographic primitives. Using the Ethereum blockchain platform, a portion of the planned system was implemented, and a cost, performance, and security analysis were conducted in addition to a comparison with conventional agricultural traceability systems. The outcomes demonstrated that the proposed system could be effective and practical and satisfy future suitable application needs.

This due because Web sites have not been developed taking into account the characteristics and constrains from these devices in view of making the Web resources more accessible. Thus for example, the screen-restrictions, the low capacity of memory and storage, the communications
through no persistent connections, the high costs and the deficient bandwidth of connection, among others, these characteristics have restrained the visualization of Web
sites through mobile devices.
The present work tries “to put the Web in the users’ pockets”. In order to guarantee that the users can visualize correctly the Web resources, two things are needed: a mechanism that control disconnections and allow to visualize Web content without concerning the connection state of the device (hoarding), and a mechanism that adapts the Web content to the own characteristics of the specific mobile device (transcoding). In this work a tool that integrates these two mechanisms and allows improving the navigation experience of the users in the mobile Web is presented.
The goal of this thesis consists of which the Web resources are accessible independent of the device, when, where and how the users need. In addition, with this work it is possible to reduce the size of the Web resources when transcoding and hoarding them
on the mobile device, energy save of the batteries, as well as speed up access times to the resources, which with takes to diminish costs of accessing to the Web or per time air
or by volumen of information This aid to increase the access levels to the Web through mobile devices.

Research paper thumbnail of MoviWeb: Plataforma para Solucionar el Problema de la Visualización de Sitios Web en Dispositivos Móviles Heterogéneos

Esto se debe a que los sitios Web no han sido desarrollados tomando en cuenta las características y limitantes de estos dispositivos en vista de hacer los recursos Web más accesible. Así por ejemplo, las restricciones de pantalla, la poca capacidad de memoria y de almacenamiento, los enlaces de comunicaciones no persistentes, los altos costos de
conexión y el deficiente ancho de banda, han frenado la visualización de sitios Web a través de dispositivos móviles.
El presente trabajo pretende “poner la Web en los bolsillos de los usuarios”.
Para garantizar que los usuarios puedan visualizar correctamente los recursos de Web, se necesitan dos cosas: un mecanismo que controle desconexiones y permita visualizar contenido Web sin importar el estado de conexión del dispositivo (acaparamiento), y un mecanismo que adapte el contenido de la Web a las características propias del dispositivo móvil específico (transcodificación). MoviWeb es una herramienta que
integra estos dos mecanismos y permite mejorar la experiencia de navegación de los usuarios en la Web móvil.
La meta de Moviware consiste en que los recursos de la Web sean accesibles independientes del dispositivo, cuando, en donde y como los necesiten los usuarios.
Además, con este trabajo se ahorra en espacio de almacenamiento, energía de las baterías, así como tiempos de acceso a los recursos, lo que con lleva a disminuir costos por acceder a la Web ya sea por tiempo aire o por volumen de información Esto ayuda a incrementar los niveles de acceso a la Web a través de dispositivos móviles. .
