Internet of things (IoT) is considered to revolutionize the way internet works and bring together the concepts such as machine to machine (M2M) communication, big data, artificial intelligence, etc. to work under a same umbrella such that cyber space and human (physical systems) are more intertwined and thus ubiquitous giving rise to cyber physical systems. …
Carotid plaque composition is a key factor of plaque stability and it carries a significant prognostic information. The carotid unstable plaques are characterized by thin fibrous cap ≤65μm with large lipid core (LC) while stable plaques have thicker fibrous cap and less LC. Identifying the percentage of plaque compositions is the clinical significant to pred…
Atherosclerotic plaque is one of the arterial diseases which builds up in the arterial wall and can be identified by the composition of the plaque. Atherosclerosis causes the narrowing or occlusions of the arterial lumen leading to cardiovascular event. Percutaneous (keyhole) endovascular stenting has become the most common revascularisation method due to it…
The rupturing of unstable plaques, formed by atherosclerosis, is the main factor contributing to the stroke event. According to stroke association in 2017, the stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the UK. The percentage of plaque composition plays an important role for plaque stability and can be considered as important information to determine whe…
Carotid plaque composition is a key factor of plaque stability and it carries significant prognostic information. The carotid unstable plaques are characterized by a thin fibrous cap (FC)≤ 65 μ m with large lipid core (LC), while stable plaques have a thicker FC and less LC. Identifying the percentage of plaque compositions could help surgeons to make a prec…
Due to the scarce energy supplies of the internet of things (IoT) devices, it is necessary to design the architecture and operation of the network to optimize the power usage. Scheduling algorithm is an essential part of WSNs and IoT networks. Such algorithms allow to classify the queues and decide which process to run. Therefore, scheduling message at clust…
