Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) refers to the 2019 new coronavirus epidemic as COVID-19, and it has caused an unprecedented global crisis for several nations. Nearly every country around the globe is now very concerned about the effects of the COVID-19 outbreaks, which were previously only experienced by Chinese residents. Most of these nations are now under a partial or complete state of lockdown due to the lack of resources needed to combat the COVID-19 epidemic and the concern about overstretched healthcare systems. Every time the pandemic surprises them by providing new values for various… More >

Abstract As a subversive concept, the metaverse has recently attracted widespread attention around the world and has set off a wave of enthusiasm in academic, industrial, and investment circles. However, while the metaverse brings unprecedented opportunities for transformation to human society, it also contains related risks. Metaverse is a digital living space with information infrastructure, interoperability system, content production system, and value settlement system as the underlying structure in which the inner core is to connect real residents through applications and identities. Through social incentives and governance rules, the metaverse reflects the digital migration of human… More >

Abstract Nowadays, smart wearable devices are used widely in the Social Internet of Things (IoT), which record human physiological data in real time. To protect the data privacy of smart devices, researchers pay more attention to federated learning. Although the data leakage problem is somewhat solved, a new challenge has emerged. Asynchronous federated learning shortens the convergence time, while it has time delay and data heterogeneity problems. Both of the two problems harm the accuracy. To overcome these issues, we propose an asynchronous federated learning scheme based on double compensation to solve the problem of time… More >

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a very common neurodegenerative disease that occurs mostly in the elderly. There are many main clinical manifestations of PD, such as tremor, bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, etc. Based on the current research on PD, the accurate and convenient detection of early symptoms is the key to detect PD. With the development of microelectronic and sensor technology, it is much easier to measure the barely noticeable tremor in just one hand for the early detection of Parkinson’s disease. In this paper, we present a smart wearable device for detecting hand tremor, in which… More >
