Abstract:
Abstract The frequent occurrence of sudden water pollution accidents has become a major threat to water environment safety. Although most researches have focused on constructing a pollutant source identification model and risk assessment methods for dealing with sudden water pollution accidents, a real-time, effective emergency measure for controlling pollutant diffusion, isolating and removing the pollutant, aiming at sudden water pollution accidents, has not been emphasized. Therefore, in this paper, a novel emergency approach of soft isolation was investigated to control pollution diffusion and decrease damage as soon as the accident occurred. In stage 1, the feature of pollution diffusion regarding a sudden water accident was predicted through a water quality model using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Then, a design scheme of soft isolation was constructed in stage 2 to isolate the polluted zone and attention was paid to optimizing the parameters of soft isolation. Ultimately, the mathematical model of complete purification was formulated in stage 3 to remove the pollution from the impacted zone. The results indicated that the emergency measure of soft isolation could have significant potential to control and isolate pollution occurring in a sudden water pollution accident in the future.

Abstract:
Base (seismic) isolation is a promising technology for seismic protection of buildings and other constructions. Nowadays, it is accepted that such a technique is efficient and reliable; however, it has two major limitations: soft foundation soil, and tall buildings. The first issue restrains the seismic isolation spreading, given that soft soil is frequent in densely populated areas, and usually such a soil type concentrates the highest seismicity levels. This paper aims to contribute to demonstrating that base isolation, if properly implemented, can be suitable for soft soil. A representative case study is analyzed: a 6-story reinforced concrete (RC) building with base isolation that has recently been built in Shanghai. Since the building is founded on soft soil, concern regarding base isolation suitability arose; even the Chinese design code does not recommend this solution for soft soil. To clarify this issue, non-linear time-history analyses are carried out for a number of natural and artificial seismic inputs that represent the site seismicity; the superstructure behavior is linear, while nonlinearities are concentrated in the isolation layer. The adequacy of base isolation is assessed in the superstructure (in terms of reduction of interstory drift, absolute acceleration and shear force) and in the isolation layer (in terms of axial force, torsion angle and shear strain). The relevance of soil–structure interaction is discussed. The behavior when the mechanical parameters of the isolation units have experienced important changes is also analyzed. The major conclusion is that base isolation of ordinary mid-height RC buildings founded on soft soil can perform satisfactorily in medium seismicity regions.

Abstract:
AbstractThis study focuses on the soft-storey behavior of RC structures with lead core rubber bearing (LRB) isolation systems under near and far-fault motions. Under near-fault ground motions, seismic isolation devices might perform poorly because of large isolator displacements caused by large velocity and displacement pulses associated with such strong motions. In this study, four different structural models have been designed to study the effect of soft-storey behavior under near-fault and far-fault motions. The seismic analysis for isolated reinforced concrete buildings is carried out using a nonlinear time history analysis method. Inter-story drifts, absolute acceleration, displacement, base shear forces, hysteretic loops and the distribution of plastic hinges are examined as a result of the analysis. These results show that the performance of a base isolated RC structure is more affected by increasing the height of a story under nearfault motion than under far-fault motion.

Abstract:
2013 - 2014
In the present work an investigation of the reforming technologies available for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems and their basic concepts has been carried out, with the aim to describe, test and simulate the reforming process for fault diagnosis application. The final aim of a fault diagnosis activity for SOFC systems is to reach the required criteria for a commercial application, which, besides long lifetime and performance, include high reliability and safety at reasonable costs. The achievement of these targets is necessary to contribute promoting the SOFC technology and finally starting a mass production phase. In this thesis, the attention has been focused on the reforming reactor, responsible for the conversion of the inlet fuel in hydrogen, suitable source fuel for the SOFC. In particular, the Catalytic Partial Oxidation (CPOx) process has been analyzed. The CPOx reforming mechanism is the most attractive technology for the production of syngas or hydrogen in small-medium scale SOFC applications and Micro Combined Heat and Power (μCHP) systems. This is due to the ability of the CPOx reaction to be carried out in compact reactors with rapid dynamic response and with low heat capacity. The reaction is slightly exothermic and therefore does not require external heat to take place. In addition, CPOx technology does not require steam, as the media required for the reforming reaction is air, which is easily available for residential application. This mainly means that CPOx is independent from an external water source and any heating source. The hydrocarbon is both oxidized to CO2 and H2O, either partially or completely, and also converted to synthesis gas by endothermic steam reforming (according to the indirect CPOx mechanism). Despite these advantages, catalytic partial oxidation is less efficient than steam reforming. This indicates that it is most suitable for applications in which the system simplicity has the priority with respect to the hydrogen yield. The high surface temperatures can cause a local loss of activity of the catalyst, leading to the instable performance of the entire reactor. Nevertheless, in the CPOx process even a small difference in the operating air and fuel flow rates could lead to carbon deposition or oxidation of the catalyst, with serious consequences for the SOFC system and for the stack itself. It is therefore extremely important to develop a diagnosis tool able to investigate these phenomena and to detect and isolate the faults that may verify inside the reactor. The most common fault events likely to occur inside a CPOx reformer for SOFC applications have been analyzed through a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and a Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). These analyses are aimed at identifying the main events responsible for the catalyst deactivation, together with their causes and effects on the SOFC system performance. The Catalytic Partial Oxidation mechanism has then been explored from both modelling and experimental points of view, with the aim to simulate the reforming process and identifying the thermodynamic optimal operating conditions at which natural gas may be converted to hydrogen. At the same time, the main fault scenarios likely to occur during the reforming phase have been analyzed, both in experiments and during simulations, to evaluate the capability of the developed model in performing effective fault detection and isolation for on-board diagnostic application. The CPOx dynamic model developed is based on the minimization of Gibbs free energy and can be easily reconfigured for describing a steam reforming mechanism. The simulation results give useful indication on how operating parameters such as the input conditions of reactants (inlet compositions and temperature) affect the reaction equilibrium and, in turn, the products composition and reactor outlet temperature. A sensitivity analysis for different operating conditions has been carried out. The transient behavior of the reforming reaction and the information about methane conversion and hydrogen selectivity complete the set of model results. The dynamic CPOx model has been validated through experimental data and its behavior during transients has been carefully analyzed during the variations in the set-points of operating phases. Both test data and reactor design were part of the activities performed within the EFESO project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development and led by Ariston Thermo Spa. The model results demonstrate that the CPOx dynamic model represents a useful tool for fault diagnosis application and its results provide an interesting benchmark for the design and working parameters of a CPOx reforming system for SOFC application.

Abstract:
Every day we share our personal information through digital systems which are constantly exposed to threats. For this reason, security-oriented disciplines of signal processing have received increasing attention in the last decades: multimedia forensics, digital watermarking, biometrics, network monitoring, steganography and steganalysis are just a few examples. Even though each of these fields has its own peculiarities, they all have to deal with a common problem: the presence of one or more adversaries aiming at making the system fail. Adversarial Signal Processing lays the basis of a general theory that takes into account the impact that the presence of an adversary has on the design of effective signal processing tools. By focusing on the application side of Adversarial Signal Processing, namely adversarial information fusion in distributed sensor networks, and adopting a game-theoretic approach, this thesis contributes to the above mission by addressing four issues. First, we address decision fusion in distributed sensor networks by developing a novel soft isolation defense scheme that protects the network from adversaries, specifically, Byzantines. Second, we develop an optimum decision fusion strategy in the presence of Byzantines. In the next step, we propose a technique to reduce the complexity of the optimum fusion by relying on a novel nearly-optimum message passing algorithm based on factor graphs. Finally, we introduce a defense mechanism to protect decentralized networks running consensus algorithm against data falsification attacks.

Abstract:
Nous nous intéressons aux dynamiques spéciales engendrées par des objets non mouillants. Sur un substrat recouvert de rainures asymétriques en dents de scie, un liquide ou un solide en caléfaction est propulsé horizontalement. Les motifs rectifient l'écoulement de vapeur dans une direction privilégiée et le mobile est entrainé par viscosité. Sur un substrat lisse, si le solide est lui-même asymétrique, la répartition non homogène de masse incline la surface inférieure et avec elle la force de pression de l'écoulement de vapeur : sa composante horizontale met aussi l'objet en mouvement. Une goutte caléfiée entre deux plans parallèles montre également un comportement surprenant : au-delà d'un rayon critique, elle se déstabilise en formant un anneau qui s'agrandit et éclate en petits fragments. La grande mobilité de ces objets pose la question de la friction qu'ils subissent. Très faible sur un substrat lisse, on observe une dissipation inertielle dans l'air environnant et dans une couche limite liquide pour les gouttes. En revanche, sur un substrat crénelé, elle est fortement amplifiée par l'impact du liquide sur les textures. Pour terminer, nous nous intéressons à divers objets non mouillants naturels : l'argyronète aquatique et plusieurs plantes aquatiques superhydrophobes. Le premier est une araignée qui passe sa vie sous l'eau. Elle s'abrite dans une grande bulle d'air qu'elle crée en capturant, par un mouvement dynamique de son abdomen superhydrophobe et de ses pattes, de petites bulles à la surface de l'eau. Quant aux seconds, ils utilisent leurs surfaces non mouillantes pour survivre lors d'une immersion.

Abstract:
Le projet industriel français MEGaN vise le développement de module de puissance à base de compostant HEMT en GaN. Une des application industrielle concerne l’aéronautique avec une forte contrainte en isolation galvanique (>100 kV/s) et en température ambiante (200°C). Le travail de thèse a été concentré sur une brique module de puissance (bras d’onduleur 650 V 30 A). L’objectif est d’atteindre un prototype de facteur de forme peu épais, 30 cm2 et embarquant l’ensemble des fonctions driver, alimentation de driver, la capacité de bus et capteur de courant phase. Cet objectif implique un fort rendement énergétique, et le respect de l’isolation galvanique alors que la contrainte en surface est forte. Le manuscrit, outre l’état de l’art relatif au module de puissance et notamment celui à base de transistor GaN HEMT, aborde une solution d’isolation de signaux de commande à base de micro-transformateur. Des prototypes de micro-transformateur ont été caractérisés et vieillis pendant 3000 H pour évaluer la robustesse de la solution. Les travaux ont contribué à la caractérisation de plusieurs composants GaN afin de mûrir des modèles pour la simulation circuit de topologie de convertisseur. Au sein du travail collaboratif MEGaN, notre contribution ne concernait pas la conception du circuit intégré (driver de grille), tout en ayant participé à la validation des spécifications, mais une stratégie d’alimentation du driver de grille. Une première proposition d’alimentation isolée pour le driver de grille a privilégié l’utilisation de composants GaN basse-tension. La topologie Flyback résonante avec clamp permet de tirer le meilleur parti de ces composants GaN mais pose la contrainte du transformateur de puissance. Plusieurs technologies pour la réalisation du transformateur ont été validées expérimentalement et notamment une proposition originale enfouissement du composant magnétique au sein d’un substrat polymère haute-température. En particulier, un procédé de fabrication peu onéreux permet d’obtenir un dispositif fiable (1000 H de cyclage entre - 55 ; + 200°C), avec un rendement intrinsèque de 88 % pour 2 W transférés. La capacité parasite d’isolation est réduite par rapport aux prototypes précédent. Deux prototypes d’alimentations à forte intégration utilisent soit les transistors GaN basse tension (2.4 MHz, 2 W, 74 %, 6 cm2), soit un circuit intégré dédié en technologie CMOS SOI, conçu pour l’application (1.2 MHz, 2 W, 77 %, 8.5 cm2). Le manuscrit propose par la suite une solution intégrable de mesure de courant de phase du bras de pont, basé sur une magnétorésistance. La comparaison expérimentale vis à vis d’une solution à résistance de shunt. Enfin, deux prototypes de convertisseur sont décrits, dont une a pu faire l’objet d’une validation expérimentale démontrant des pertes en commutation réduites
The french industrial project MEGaN targets the development of power module based on GaN HEMT transistors. One of the industrial applications is the aeronautics field with a high-constraint on the galvanic isolation (>100 kV/s) and ambient temperature (200°C). The intent of this work is the power module block (3 phases inverter 650 V 30 A). The goal is to obtain a small footprint module, 30 cm2, with necessary functions such as gate driver, gate driver power supply, bulk capacitor and current phase sensor. This goal implies high efficiency as well as respect of the constraint of galvanic isolation with an optimized volume. This dissertation, besides the state of the art of power modules and especially the GaN HEMT ones, addressed a control signal isolation solution based on coreless transformers. Different prototypes based on coreless transformers were characterized and verified over 3000 hours in order to evaluate their robustness. The different studies realized the characterization of the different market available GaN HEMTs in order to mature a circuit simulation model for various converter topologies. In the collaborative work of the project, our contribution did not focus on the gate driver chip design even if experimental evaluation work was made, but a gate driver power supply strategy. The first gate driver isolated power supply design proposition focused on the low-voltage GaN HEMT conversion. The active-clamp Flyback topology allows to have the best trade-off between the GaN transistors and the isolation constraint of the transformer. Different transformer topolgies were experimentally performed and a novel PCB embedded transformer process was proposed with high-temperature capability. A lamination process was proposed for its cost-efficiency and for the reliability of the prototype (1000 H cycling test between - 55; + 200°C), with 88 % intrinsic efficiency. However, the transformer isolation capacitance was drastically reduced compared to the previous prototypes. 2 high-integrated gate driver power supply prototypes were designed with: GaN transistors (2.4 MHz, 2 W, 74 %, 6 cm2), and with a CMOS SOI dedicated chip (1.2 MHz, 2 W, 77 %, 8.5 cm2). In the last chapter, this dissertation presents an easily integrated solution for a phase current sensor based on the magnetoresistance component. The comparison between shunt resistor and magnetoresistance is experimentally performed. Finally, two inverter prototypes are presented, with one multi-level gate driver dedicated for GaN HEMT showing small switching loss performance

In this thesis, two kinds of soft computing techniques have been applied to the active structure vibration isolation system. Firstly, the artificial neural networks with back-propagation algorithms, quick-prop algorithms and radial basis function are studied. And then applied them to solve functions approximation. The second part of this thesis, the activate structure vibration isolation system is discussed. In this part, the fuzzy control theory is used to establish a controller for the isolation system. Then use the artificial neural networks with Newton’s method to simulate the fuzzy controller and the main system of the isolation system. Finally, we propose a training procedure for designing a controller of the isolation system quickly. The main step in this training produce is to identify the isolation system inversely. And then use the completely trained artificial neural networks under a designed reference signal. By some tests, the results show that the artificial neural networks is a flexibility and robust method to design a controller of isolation systems.

Abstract:
This thesis is a part of a comprehensive research program on the study of an innovative ground treatment approach for the mitigation of the seismic risk of existing structure, by means of the creation of a continuous thin layer of grouted soil at a convenient depth. The motivation of the research was the observation of the damage suffered by the historic buildings under earthquakes. In countries like Italy, with a high seismic hazard and old or very old towns, where many buildings are hundreds of years old, this is one of the most relevant problems for the protection of both population and cultural heritage (Costanzo et al., 2007). Few historic buildings meet current code seismic requirements for life safety, and most have architecturally significant elements that are threatened by future earthquakes. The use of the isolation system conceived for new structure could be in conflict with the respect of the iconic, historical and material integrity of the monuments. The present work provides guidance on the use of the soft barriers to seismic isolate the existing buildings, highlighting pros and cons based on experimental and numerical results.

Abstract:
In this dissertation the ac-link universal power converters, which are a new class of power converters, are introduced and studied in detail. The inputs and outputs of these converters may be dc, ac, single phase, or multi-phase. Therefore, they can be used in a variety of applications, including photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation, and electric vehicles. In these converters the link current and voltage are both alternating and their frequency can be high, which leads to the elimination of the dc electrolytic capacitors and the bulky low-frequency transformers. Therefore, the ac-link universal power converters are expected to have higher reliability and smaller size. Moreover, these converters are soft switching, which results in negligible switching losses and minimized current and voltage stress over devices. In the first part of the dissertation, the parallel ac-link universal power converter is studied in detail. This converter is an extension of the buck-boost converter. The series ac-link universal power converter, which is dual of the parallel ac-link universal power converter, is proposed in the second part of this dissertation. This converter is an extension of the Cuk converter. A modified configuration with fewer switches, named sparse ac-link universal power converter is proposed in the third part of this dissertation. The sparse ac-link universal power converters can appear as parallel or series. The performance of all these configurations is evaluated through simulations and experiments.

Investigation on the chemical constituents of the EtOH extract of the soft coral Lobophytum sarcophytoides, collected off the coast of Dongsha Atoll, Taiwan, has led to the isolation of ten natural compounds 1–10, including four new cembrane-type diterpenoids, Sarcophytolins A–D (1–4) and one new polyhydroxylated steroid 23, 24-Dimethyl-cholesta-5, 16-diene-3β, 20α-diol (5) along with five know compounds 6–10。The structure of compounds 1–10 were established by detailed spectral data analysis (IR, MS, 1D, 2D NMR) and by comparison of the spectral data with those of the related known compounds. The relative stereochemistries of compound 5 was further confirmed by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. The cytotoxicity of compounds 1–10 against the Daoy (human medulloblastoma), Hep-2 (human laryngeal carcinoma), MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma), CCRF-CEM (human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia), and DLD-1/WiDr (human colon adenocarcinoma) tumor cell lines were determined. Compounds 6, 8, 9, and 10 exhibited moderate cytotoxicities against the tested tumor cells. Furthermore, compounds 1, 2, 4, 6, and 10 were found to show significant activity against the accumulation of the pro-inflammatory iNOS protein at 10 μM.

Abstract:
A fuzzy system that automatically develops its rule base from a linearized performance model of the engine by selecting the membership functions and number of fuzzy sets is developed in this study to perform gas turbine fault isolation. The faults modeled are module faults in five modules: fan, low pressure compressor, high pressure compressor, high pressure turbine and low pressure turbine. The measurements used are deviations in exhaust gas temperature, low rotor speed, high rotor speed and fuel flow from a base line ‘good engine’. A genetic algorithm is used to tune the fuzzy sets to maximize fault isolation success rate. A novel scheme is developed which optimizes the fuzzy system using very few design variables and therefore is computationally efficient. Results with simulated data show that genetic fuzzy system isolates faults with accuracy greater than that of a manually developed fuzzy system developed by the authors. Furthermore, the genetic fuzzy system allows rapid development of the rule base if the fault signatures and measurement uncertainties change. In addition, the genetic fuzzy system reduces the human effort needed in the trial and error process used to design the fuzzy system and makes the development of such a system easier and faster. A radial basis neural network is also used to preprocess the measurements before fault isolation. The radial basis network shows significant noise reduction and when combined with the genetic fuzzy system leads to a diagnostic system that is highly robust to the presence of noise in data.

Abstract:
Abstract Cold temperature failures are often difficult to resolve, especially those at extreme low levels (< -40°C). Momentary application of chill spray can confirm the failure mode, but is impractical during photoemission microscopy (PEM), laser scanning microscopy (LSM), and multiple point microprobing. This paper will examine relatively low-cost cold temperature systems that can hold samples at steady state extreme low temperatures and describe a case study where a cold temperature stage was combined with LSM soft defect localization (SDL) to rapidly identify the cause of a complex cold temperature failure mechanism.

Abstract:
Issues addressed in this paper are related to the isolation and vibration transmission of vibration-sensitive systems mounted on a flexible support. The normal operation of certain electronic, optical and mechanical systems requires a vibration-free environment. To obtain such an environment, these systems are usually isolated from their supports with soft springs. When an array of such systems is needed, due to space constraints or other reasons, they are typically mounted on a common support, which in practice is flexible. Although such a design generally is effective in isolating vibration from ground support, vibration from one system, due to excitations other than from its support, can easily transmit to nearby systems. The level of the transmitted vibration (also known as vibration interaction) can be very significant, especially when all the systems are designed identically for simplicity and with less damping for effective ground vibration isolation. Isolator frequency separation (decoupling), viscous and viscoelastic damping are studied for the reduction of vibration transmission among the systems and their effects on system isolation are discussed. It is found that although the isolator frequency separation and viscous damping could be used for vibration transmission reduction among the isolated systems on the flexible support, the addition of viscoelastic damping reduces the vibration transmission without sacrificing their isolation performance. The difference between viscous and viscoelastic damping on ground vibration isolation is explained theoretically in the final part of the paper using a one degree of freedom model.

Abstract:
It is well known that the trend of current technology development is microscopic and ultra-precision, especially in the areas of semiconductor manufacturing, ultra-precision machining, MEMS, microbiology and nanotechnology. Hence, vibration becomes a significant problem in those fields. There are two types of vibration control techniques. One is passive isolation system; the other is active isolation system. Passive isolation system can provide better performance for higher frequencies. Active isolation system is used to improve the isolation performance for lower frequencies. However, passive isolation system has bad performance around the natural frequency. In addition, it cannot eliminate the effects of onboard disturbances. Therefore, active isolation system becomes the major technology in the applications of microvibration control for precision equipment. In practice, all active isolation systems are based upon a hybrid concept, combining a passive isolator for higher frequencies and a servo control system for lower frequencies. This combination allows for two significantly different configurations, which can be categorized as: soft-mounted isolation systems and hard-mounted isolation systems. The soft-mounted systems are inherently insensitive to resonance in the main structure below the isolators. Yet, they are sensitive to resonances in the isolated platform. The hard-mounted systems are extremely stiff and allows for large onboard disturbance forces without excessive motion. However, the major drawback with a hard-mounted system is that vibration isolation performance suffers from the passive-active compromise and is unable to come up to the optimal performance. In this paper, a sliding-mode control algorithm is developed for a hard-mounted isolation system with a piezoactuator. Based on the bounds of environmental vibrations and onboard disturbances, the sliding-mode control algorithm can make the hard-mounted isolation system achieve the optimal and robust performance of low vibration transmissibility and high stiffness. The results are verified by the numerical simulations.

Abstract:
Original objectives: The overall goal of our work was to gain information regarding the genetic and molecular control of pathways leading to the production of secondary metabolites determining major fruit quality traits in pepper and to develop tools based on this information to assist in crop improvement. The specific objectives were to: (1) Generate a molecular map of pepper based on simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. (2) Map QTL for capsaicinoid (pungency) content (3) Determine possible association between capsaicinoid and carotenoid content and structural genes for capsaicinoid and carotenoid biosynthesis. (4) Map QTL for quantitative traits controlling additional fruit traits. (5) Map fruit-specific ESTs and determine possible association with fruit QTL (6) Map the C locus that determines the presence and absence of capsaicinoid in pepper fruit and identify candidate genes for C.locus. Background: Pungency, color, fruit shape and fruit size are among the most important fruit quality characteristics of pepper. Despite the importance of the pepper crop both in the USA and Israel, the genetic basis of these traits was poorly understood prior to the studies conducted in the present proposal. In addition, molecular tools for use in pepper improvement were lacking. Major conclusions and achievements: Our studies enabled the development of a saturated genetic map of pepper that includes numerous SSR markers. This map has been integrated with a number of other independent maps resulting in the publication of a single resource map consisting of more than 2000 markers. Unlike previous maps based primarily on tomato-originated RFLP markers, the new maps are based on PCR markers that originate in Capsicum providing a comprehensive and versatile resource for marker-assisted selection in pepper. We determined the genetic and molecular bases of qualitative and quantitative variation of pungency, a character unique to pepper fruit. We mapped and subsequently cloned the Pun1 gene that serves as a master regulatoar for capsaicinoid accumulation and showed that it is an acyltransferase. By sequencing the Pun1 gene in pungent and non-pungent cultivars we identified a deletion that abolishes the expression of the gene in the latter cultivars. We also identified QTL that control capsaicinoid content and therefore pungency level. These genes will allow pepper breeders to manipulate the level of pungency for specific agricultural and industrial purposes. In addition to pungency we identified genes and QTL that control other key developmental processes of fruit development such as color, texture and fruit shape. The A gene controlling anthocyanin accumulation in the immature fruit was found as the ortholog of the petunia transcription factor Anthocyanin2. The S gene required for the soft flesh and deciduous fruit nature typical of wild peppers was identified as the ortholog of tomato polygalacturonase. We identified two major QTL controlling fruit shape, fs3.1 and fs10.1, that differentiate elongated and blocky and round fruit shapes, respectively. Scientific and agricultural implications: Our studies allowed significant advances in our understanding of important processes of pepper fruit development including the isolation and characterization of several well known genes. These results also provided the basis for the development of molecular tools that can be implemented for pepper improvement. A total of eleven refereed publications have resulted from this work, and several more are in preparation.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This scoping review aims to identify published methods that have used automatic speech recognition or text-to-speech recognition technologies to detect hearing loss and report on their accuracy and limitations. Condition being studied: Hearing enables us to communicate with the surrounding world. According to reports by the World Health Organization, 1.5 billion suffer from some degree of hearing loss of which 430 million require medical attention. It is estimated that by 2050, 1 in every 4 people will experience some sort of hearing disability. Hearing loss can significantly impact people’s ability to communicate and makes social interactions a challenge. In addition, it can result in anxiety, isolation, depression, hindrance of learning, and a decrease in general quality of life. A hearing assessment is usually done in hospitals and clinics with special equipment and trained staff. However, these services are not always available in less developed countries. Even in developed countries, like the UK, access to these facilities can be a challenge in rural areas. Moreover, during a crisis like the Covid-19 pandemic, accessing the required healthcare can become dangerous and challenging even in large cities.
