Abstract Background: With the decline of birth population and the development of medical technology in China, studies assessing how these changes have affected the adoption of congenital heart disease surgery at the national or regional scale are lacking. Methods: We investigated the status of congenital heart surgery in China in the period from 2017–2022, through investigation of the total rates of cardiac surgeries, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), adult congenital heart surgeries (CHS), and pediatric CHS (<18 years old), as recorded by the Extracorporeal Circulation Branch of the Chinese Society of Biomedical Engineering. Subsequently, we evaluated correlations between… More >

Abstract Objectives: The Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde−SUS) is the universal public healthcare system of Brazil that maintains a nationwide database of its patients. Our primary objective was to analyze regional and temporal trends, while our secondary goal was to establish correlations between states’ health economy status and their prostate cancer (PCa) epidemiology. Methods: We analyzed Brazil’s nationwide data on prostate cancer (PCa) incidence, mortality, and care gathered between 2013 and 2021 by the Information Technology Department of SUS (DATA-SUS), updated monthly using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) code. Results: In the period,… More >

Abstract Videos represent the most prevailing form of digital media for communication, information dissemination, and monitoring. However, their widespread use has increased the risks of unauthorised access and manipulation, posing significant challenges. In response, various protection approaches have been developed to secure, authenticate, and ensure the integrity of digital videos. This study provides a comprehensive survey of the challenges associated with maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of video content, and examining how it can be manipulated. It then investigates current developments in the field of video security by exploring two critical research questions. First, it… More >

Abstract With the continuous expansion of the scale of renewable energy installation, the demand for energy storage has increased significantly. However, there are significant differences in the value of energy storage in different scenarios, and the phenomenon of diminishing marginal benefits of energy storage is becoming more apparent. Therefore, the multi-dimensional value evolution trend of energy storage has become a key issue. This study selects indicators from three dimensions of energy storage: low-carbon emission reduction, smoothing wind and solar power fluctuations, and saving generation costs, quantifying the economic, environmental, and technical values of energy storage.

Abstract COVID-19 pandemic restrictions limited all social activities to curtail the spread of the virus. The foremost and most prime sector among those affected were schools, colleges, and universities. The education system of entire nations had shifted to online education during this time. Many shortcomings of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) were detected to support education in an online mode that spawned the research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) based tools that are being developed by the research community to improve the effectiveness of LMSs. This paper presents a detailed survey of the different enhancements to LMSs, which… More >

Abstract Renewable energy is becoming more attractive as traditional fossil fuels are rapidly depleted and expensive, and their use would release pollutants. Power systems that use both wind and solar energy are more reliable and efficient than those that utilize only one energy. Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are viable for remote areas operating in standalone mode. This paper aims to present the state-of-the-art research on off-grid solar-wind hybrid energy systems over the last two decades. More than 1500 published articles extracted from the Web of Science are analyzed by bibliometric methods and processed by CiteSpace… More >

Abstract Video description generates natural language sentences that describe the subject, verb, and objects of the targeted Video. The video description has been used to help visually impaired people to understand the content. It is also playing an essential role in devolving human-robot interaction. The dense video description is more difficult when compared with simple Video captioning because of the object’s interactions and event overlapping. Deep learning is changing the shape of computer vision (CV) technologies and natural language processing (NLP). There are hundreds of deep learning models, datasets, and evaluations that can improve the gaps… More >

Abstract Image steganography is a technique of concealing confidential information within an image without dramatically changing its outside look. Whereas vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), which enable vehicles to communicate with one another and with roadside infrastructure to enhance safety and traffic flow provide a range of value-added services, as they are an essential component of modern smart transportation systems. VANETs steganography has been suggested by many authors for secure, reliable message transfer between terminal/hope to terminal/hope and also to secure it from attack for privacy protection. This paper aims to determine whether using steganography is… More >
