Tuberculosis is the primary cause of death due to infection in the world. Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum is a diagnostic test, which can be used in screening programs—especially in countries with a high incidence of tuberculosis—to identify and treat those persons with the highest risk of disseminating the infection. We prev...

Autonomous operations of robots in unknown environments are challenging due to the lack of knowledge of the dynamics of the interactions, such as the objects' movability. This work introduces a novel Causal Reinforcement Learning approach to enhancing robotics operations and applies it to an urban search and rescue (SAR) scenario. Our proposed mach...

The presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a poor prognostic finding. This is difficult to identify on routine hematoxylin–eosin (H&E)-stained slides, but considering the costs and time required for examination, immunohistochemical stains for the endothelium are not the recommended diagnostic protocol. We develope...

BACKGROUND The traditional measurement of these vitals via physical examination has become challenging and the recent pandemic has accelerated trends towards telehealth and remote monitoring. Instead of going to the physician for checking heart rate, SPO2, blood pressure, body temperature and respiration rate it would be excellent if it could be me...

Covid 19 is now considered as a global pandemic owing to its high transmissibility and lack of an effective vaccine. Most of the government coordinated efforts around the world have mainly focused on its containment and mitigation attaining various degrees of success. Among the strategies employed by the countries that have been able to maintain lo...

We know intoxication causes variations in physiological vitals like variations in blood glucose, breathing irregularities etc. Using a Camera Sensor monitoring the face of the driver, we are able to extract the iPPG bio-signal variations that show direct relations to variations caused as a result of intoxication. Using iPPG variations along with kn...

The covid 19 pandemic continues to ravage on despite the numerous efforts to contain the spread of the virus. Even with the roll out of vaccination against the virus, the number of cases continue to rise, raising questions regarding the efficiency of the vaccine. Governments continue to impose restrictions on people such as social distancing and ma...
