This paper details the design and construction of a Flood Warning System (FWS) for River Nyamwamba that has been prone to floods of a greater magnitude. The idea was developed on the principle that floods are a meteorological event that develops over time, and thus a need for sufficient time for people to evacuate, and to protect their lives and property. However, the range of existing FWSs have a tangle of conflicting requirements in terms of cost and reliability and have challenges from factors as diverse as technological and social. Built on Computer Embedded Systems, this study provides a cheaper and reliable FWS for a country like Uganda. River Nyamwamba flow was modelled with DEM, Topography sheets, river map, imageries, flow data, stage data, land use maps, and rainfall data. The data sets were conditioned and processed in a GIS environment using ArcGIS software and exported to the HECRAS program to perform a steady flow simulation of the river. High-risk areas were visualized that provided reliable river flow parameters that were used as input values for the design of the FWS. An Arduino programmed microcontrollers were used to control all input and output values regarding the modelled river. An ultrasonic sensor was used to monitor the normal flow, intermediate flow, and peak flood water levels. From this, the river stage was displayed onto an LCD screen at all times, an electronic SMS is sent to operators at intermediate flow, while an alarm is sounded at flood level.

Objectives: (1) To develop a clinical microsystem simulation methodology for alarm fatigue research with a human factors engineering (HFE) assessment framework and (2) to explore its application to the comparative examination of different approaches to patient monitoring and provider notification. Background: Problems with the design, implementation, and real-world use of patient monitoring systems result in alarm fatigue. A multidisciplinary team is developing an open-source tool kit to promote bedside informatics research and mitigate alarm fatigue. Method: Simulation, HFE, and computer science experts created a novel simulation methodology to study alarm fatigue. Featuring multiple interconnected simulated patient scenarios with scripted timeline, “distractor” patient care tasks, and triggered true and false alarms, the methodology incorporated objective metrics to assess provider and system performance. Developed materials were implemented during institutional review board–approved study sessions that assessed and compared an experimental multiparametric alerting system with a standard monitor telemetry system for subject response, use characteristics, and end-user feedback. Results: A four-patient simulation setup featuring objective metrics for participant task-related performance and response to alarms was developed along with accompanying structured HFE assessment (questionnaire and interview) for monitor systems use testing. Two pilot and four study sessions with individual nurse subjects elicited true alarm and false alarm responses (including diversion from assigned tasks) as well as nonresponses to true alarms. In-simulation observation and subject questionnaires were used to test the experimental system’s approach to suppressing false alarms and alerting providers. Conclusions: A novel investigative methodology applied simulation and HFE techniques to replicate and study alarm fatigue in controlled settings for systems assessment and experimental research purposes.

The base transceiver station (BTS)'s continuous power supply has been the subject of a lot of research. The majority of research focuses on increasing power usage effectiveness or adding solar battery systems for BTS stations. Due to the geographical conditions in the North of Vietnam, solar cell efficiency is rather poor and the investment cost is quite high, therefore BTS stations are still relying mostly on battery and generator backup systems. This article presents a design solution to designing the operation monitor of battery of the generator in the base transceiver station. From solution design, the authors designed the hardware and software. The device allows communication and sends alarms to the base transceiver station (BTS) manager. Through the testing process, the system has met the requirements of the problem and is easily integrated into the BTS.

Full textAbstract:
All Fire Alarm Systems essentially operate on the same fundamental principle and framework. It provides audible and visual alarm signals. An alarm is raised if a sensor detects smoke or heat, warns people that there may be a fire, and evacuate the premises immediately. Consequently, concerned individuals may call the fire department to mitigate the emergency at which, at this point of time, the firefighter's Emergency Respond Time (ERT) is vital. ERT is one of the contributing factors to how much fire will consume lives and, or properties. In worst cases, an entire building turns into ashes, lives taken because of a slow ERT. Then there are these casual "false-alarms" caused by the false-positive readings of the installed Fire Alarm Systems. These false alarms cause mass panic and consume firefighters' valuable time and resources. The instances mentioned above are a few reasons why there is a need to implement an efficient city-wide fire alarm system.
This study focused on the design, development and testing of a wide-area Smart Fire Monitoring System comprised of major parts, the devices and the system software. Specifically, this study aimed to develop a smart fire alarm device using the Agile Prototyping Methodology (APM) and employ Agile Software Development Methodology (ASDM) for the development of the Smart Fire Monitoring System Software (SFMSS). For the development of the smart fire alarm device, the proponents assembled necessary sensors, electrical components, microcontrollers, and other electrical modules to create a working smart fire alarm device that abled to detect smoke; detect temperature spikes; detect the existence of fire; broadcast a GPS coordinates to the fire department; transmit and receive data through RF signals using long-range radio frequency (RF) module and SMS technology; and, be functional and operational under Low Power mode. Concomitant with this device is its system software, SFMSS, to manage and process the broadcasted data. SFMSS is a centralized system developed for the fire department to monitor the city for a fire outbreak. SFMSS continuously communicates with the fire alarm devices to autonomously monitor fire presence via radio frequency and process SMS notifications containing GPS coordinates, convert them into a readable address, and plot it in a city map in the event of a fire emergency. The proponents conducted a Stress and Reliability Test on the smart fire alarm device and Product Evaluation for Quality, Efficiency, and Usability with the Bureau of Fire Protection Region 6 for the entirety of the system.

Aims, Objectives and BackgroundNoise is a contributing factor to miscommunication, which may be exacerbated by wearing personal protective equipment. There has been little research on noise in the Emergency Department (ED).We aimed to (1) identify the noise levels experienced by staff and patients in different areas of an emergency department over the 24-hour cycle, (2) examine the impact of cubicle doors on the background noise experienced by the patient, and (3) assess the impact of monitor alarms on staff and patient noise levels.Method and DesignUsing a standardised protocol, an observational study monitoring of staff and patient experience of noise was carried out in 3 areas of the ED (a resuscitation room, an area of patient cubicles with solid doors and an area of patient cubicles with curtains).The overall distributions of noise levels in each area were described and circadian variation plotted. The proportion of time that background noise was above key cutoff values known to impair communication was calculated (45dB and 65dB).Non-parametric methods were used to compare: (1) a patient cubicle with curtains compared to a solid door, (2) having the door open or closed, and (3) staff and patient exposure a monitor alarm.Abstract 1559 Table 1AreaOverall noise level (dB).Median (IQ range)Proportion of time >45dB(raised voice)Proportion of time >65dB(shouting)Blue Patient Cubicle (curtain)45 (41 – 51)51%2%Red Patient Cubicle (door)41 (37 – 47)30%2%ER Patient Cubicle (door)50 (49 – 54)100%6%Blue Staff Desk53 (48 – 58)88%7%Red Staff Desk55 (51 – 60)96%7%ER Staff Desk50 (45 – 56)76%5%Results and ConclusionIn a large urban teaching hospitalEmergency Department noise was greater than 45dB for staff between 76% and 96% of the time (30% to 100% for patients). There was little difference across the 24hr cycle. A door decreased the noise experienced by patients, but only if left closed. In the resuscitation rooms monitor alarms were much louder for patients than for staff.Noise levels likely to impair communication are present in the ED for most of the time. Staff awareness and improved design of both buildings and equipment might mitigate this negative acoustic environment.

European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing 18, no. 4 (November 30, 2018): 272–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1474515118816930.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Physiological monitors are increasingly used for patient surveillance. Although nurses play a vital role in the observation, analysis and use of information obtained from these devices, difficulties in their use, coupled with the high frequency of false and nuisance monitor alarms, can lead to negative working conditions and threaten patient safety. Aim: With the purpose of promoting effective monitor use and ensuring patient safety, the aim was to explore both how cardiovascular nurses use monitors in patient surveillance and the effect that the monitors have on the nurses’ work. Methods: A qualitative ethnographic design with semi-structured interviews and a field observation conducted at a 35-bed coronary care unit. A purposive sample was used in selecting participants. Data were analysed using systematic text condensation. Results: Eight registered nurses, all women, aged 27–49 years, were participants. The themes helping device, competence development and distractions and strain reflected both the knowledge on which the nurses drew in working with monitors and their influence on the nurses’ work. False security and collaboration and teamwork discussed how the nurses trust and depend on each other during monitor surveillance and how poor work conditions and unclear responsibility undermine surveillance. Conclusions: Monitors enable nurses to observe critically ill cardiac patients closely and respond quickly to life-threatening changes in their condition. Current work arrangements and limited training diminish the reliability of monitor surveillance. It is imperative to revise the structure of the surveillance and improve education in monitor surveillance to enhance nurses’ clinical competence and patients’ safety.

Genetically engineered plants hold enormous promise for tackling global food security and agricultural sustainability challenges. However, construction of plant-based genetic circuitry is constrained by a lack of well-characterized genetic parts and circuit design rules. In contrast, advances in bacterial synthetic biology have yielded a wealth of sensors, actuators, and other tools that can be used to build bacterial circuitry. As root-colonizing bacteria (rhizobacteria) exert substantial influence over plant health and growth, genetic circuit design in these microorganisms can be used to indirectly engineer plants and accelerate the design-build-test-learn cycle. Here, we outline genetic parts and best practices for designing rhizobacterial circuits, with an emphasis on sensors, actuators, and chassis species that can be used to monitor/control rhizosphere and plant processes.

Artificial Intelligence-based shoe oven design has been carried out to provide an even heating process for leather shoes so that the shoe bends are perfect. The process of making leather shoes is carried out in several stages, namely designing an oven using solid work software, collecting quality tools and materials, making shoe ovens, making Arduino programs and Artificial Intelligence applications using MIT App Inventor, and testing. The shoe oven has two main chambers, namely the combustion chamber and the shoe heating chamber. The shoe oven works with the help of an Artificial Intelligence application that can monitor and control the oven with a maximum distance of 5 meters through the monitoring mode and the input set setting mode. The shoe oven is set to a temperature of (50-55)oC with a heating time of (30-60) minutes and has the ability to withstand constant heat for 45 minutes to dry the leather and perfect the curve of the shoe with the help of Arduino. Artificial Intelligence-based shoe ovens can improve shoe quality in a faster and controlled time.

Abstract Underground cable is one of the main components of urban power supply systems. However, it is often damaged by large machinery in the process of urban road construction. To protect the underground cable, this paper proposes a novel design of a smart vibration device based on a complex embedded system, including the STM32 control chip, vibration sensors, NB-IoT communication module, and charging module. Through vibration signal detection of the excavator and other large-scale mechanical behavior, the vibration device can indicate the direction where the damage is occurring, and send out a warning message to the operation center. Finally, some experiments for vibration monitoring devices are conducted to verify their effectiveness and future application potential prospects.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and formaldehyde (FA) are important species that maintain redox homeostasis in life and are closely related to many physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, it is of great significance to realize the reversible monitoring of them at the intracellular level. Here, we synthesized a reversible ratiometric fluorescent probe through a reasonable design, which can sensitively monitor SO2 derivatives and FA, and the detection limit can reach 0.16 μM. The probe can specifically target mitochondria and successfully monitor the fluctuations of SO2 and FA in living cells. It also works well in the detection of SO2 and FA in zebrafish. This high-performance probe is expected to find broad in vitro and in vivo applications.

<p>As part of the Dutch Government's plan to implement schemes to make bridges re-usable, we are presenting a completed Rijkswaterstaat (Road Authority of the Netherlands) pilot project. The ambitious plan to become "circular" (i.e. re-usable) by 2030 requires to rethink the traditional construction process from the ground up. That means that the conventional way in which bridges are commissioned and build, is no longer applicable. The lifecycle process from design stage to execution and demolition needs to change.</p><p>The Circular bridge pilot project demonstrates how bridge engineers designed the structure that utilizing standardized pre-cast concrete segments for a 200-year lifespan. These elements are assembled akin to Lego pieces and post-tensioned (PT) in the longitudinal and transversal directions. When the initial in-place service life of the bridge is reached (say 40 years), these blocks can be de-installed and re-assembled at a different location, hence the term circular.</p><p>In order to confirm the design principles and overcome the requirement that the post-tensioning always needs to be bonded within the structure it was necessary to monitor the performance of the bridge during the execution phase. This, in EC terms, is referred to as "design-by-testing". To validate the design, a multi-component Infrastructure Health Monitoring (IHM) system was deployed. The IHM system consisted of camera control of traffic flows (CCTV) measuring vehicle counts, speeds and directions and featured the following sensing instrumentation: temperatures, bridge deflections, bird-gapping between the blocks and force monitoring. As part of the IHM system, alerts and alarms were programmed to be sent to engineers in case measurements exceeded pre-defined thresholds.</p>
