Questions related to Monitoring
I have been working on a Home Automation System in which several loads have been connected. The main controller is Esp32. The voltage and current sensors are connected with/across the loads and the values are sent to the controller. Now these values are visible in "Arduino Serial Monitor" in real-time. But I want to send these values to a real-time database (e.g. Firebase, InfluxDB etc.). How can I send these real time values of Voltage, power and current to the real time database?
A long pending challenge to predict in advance the possible earthquakes on this planet, so that our system can take appropriate corrective action to reduce the disaster of human life.
Research all over the globe continuously in progress. Global Society wish to know the status on this important issue.
In the frame of transboundary water management exist in some river basins transboundary water management working groups, which are doing also water monitoring. Could you share experiences with us regarding the data exchange procedures, protocols and technical (also IT) solutions to do the monitoring data storage and exchange ?
If one is monitoring an underground rockmass structure (underground powerhouse currently producing electricity) using microseismic monitoring process and there is no occurrence of earthquake, blasting, micro-earthquakes, transportation of material etc. in that region.
We are getting about 150 microseismic event in six month and the deformation is low.
Can we say that we are doing dynamic stability analysis of that underground structure using Microseismic monitoring? If yes why?
Can I compensate for Rs only without membrane capacitance as I would like to monitor Rs during the experiment, so I would like to the capacity transient?
If not, so how can I monitor for Rs as I always read in the papers that the experiment is terminated if Rs increased by more that 20%
Thank you!
My SDS-PAGE gels run on Bio-Rad Mini Protean equipment are taking much longer to run than I expect; about 4x the amount of time that online info and experienced friends say they should take. The resolution is adequate but not fantastic, and the excessive run times are annoying - can anyone spot a problem?
I cast the gels myself using 1mm spacer plates, so the gels are quite small: 7cm length (including wells and stacking gel) and approx 7mL volume between the plates. The gels contain 0.1% SDS and most of my recent runs have been 12.5% polyacrylamide. I usually cast the gels the day before the run and store them overnight in the fridge, sometimes I store them 2-4 days but no longer. My gel buffers (Tris) are old but the pH is correct. The acrylamide (29:1), APS and TEMED are fresh.
I set up my runs in a cold room (4C) with pre-chilled running buffer (1X TGS, prepared fresh). I always rinse the wells with running buffer. I monitor run with prestained protein standards (Bio-Rad precision plus). If I run at 130 volts, it takes approx 4-5 hours for the dye front to reach the bottom of the gel and the prestained standards to separate. I just tried running overnight at 20 volts, and after 15 hours the dye front is less than halfway down the gel. I remember that when I did this years ago, running at 120-140V would produce heat even in the cold room, and would run in 1-2 hours. Now, the buffer doesn't warm up at all, and it takes 4x this long.
So far I have tried the following and nothing changed:
- 2 different electrophoresis power supplies (both run agarose gels at expected rate)
- 2 different tanks/lids
- 3 different gel chamber assemblies (the part that has the wires and creates the inner buffer chamber with the gel).
- Double checked there are no leaks and that buffer covers the wells
- Run an entire gel with prestained standards only to eliminate sample-related issues
I would love any suggestions - I can't work out what I'm doing wrong!

Assalam u alaikum and Hello everyone,
I am trying to prepare an inclinometer for slope deformation measurement by sticking strain gauges (type: GFLAB-3-70-3LJC-F) sensors around a PVC pipe as shown in attached fig. But I am not sure about the strain gauge sensor could provide continuous reading for monitoring purposes or not.
Eagerly waiting for your suggestions
How should an efficient and high-tech monitoring of environmental pollution levels be built?
In July 2022, one of the largest rivers in Poland was polluted by a discharge of warm, saline, highly oxidised water and possibly also by still unknown toxins.
Almost the entire river biosphere died out. Now (August 2022), the rotting remains of dead fish have caused secondary decay processes and a decrease in oxygen. Previously, so-called golden algae, which are harmful to the biosphere and form strong blooms in warm and saline water, have also developed. This is one of the biggest ecological disasters in Poland. The strangest thing is that anglers had already signalled at the end of June that the ecosystem of the Oder River had been severely disrupted by unknown substances released into the river. However, the services responsible and subordinate to the government, the company managing the state of rivers in Poland, i.e. Wody Polskie (Polish Water), started to do anything about it to save the river's ecosystem only in mid-August 2022.
Before that, anglers had already managed to catch tens of tonnes of dead fish.
Now many citizens are trying to answer questions:
Why did the river's environmental monitoring system not work?
Why have the institutions of the state acted with such a long delay when it comes to saving the river's ecosystem?
But this is just one of many examples of environmental disasters still occurring in various parts of the world.
In view of the above, I address the following questions to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How should an efficient and high-tech monitoring of environmental pollution levels be built?
How should an effective monitoring of the state of the environment be developed in order to significantly prevent still occurring environmental disasters?
How should an efficient monitoring of the state of the environment be built, including monitoring of the level of pollution of the terrestrial or aquatic environment (rivers, lakes, seas, oceans)?
How should an efficient analytical system for the state of the terrestrial and/or aquatic environment be built?
What ICT information technologies, Internet, Industry 4.0, satellite, etc. could be useful to improve environmental condition monitoring?
How should an efficient system of systemic environmental risk management be built?
What do you think about this topic?

Dear all,
I have been doing research on the leak detection of pipelines for some time. I did the simulations with simcenter software. But unfortunately, I tried to detect the location of the leak using Kalman filter in different ways, but it is not possible. Is it possible to guide me? Is it possible to send me the MATLAB code so that I can try on my own water pipelines and simulations?
VWP are generally used for ipezometric recording in soil, landfill, large concrete works such as dams.
A colleague of mine wants to us them to monitor water table change, instead of more simple tools (such as conventional divers).
Any idea of added value?

How can CRISPR/Cas delivery to the targeted cell be monitored in vivo and in vitro?
I read in one article that in vitro, it can be monitored by adding the antibiotic resistance gene to the plasmid. and after the delivery process by adding the antibiotic to the plat, we can be sure that survived cells took the plasmid which contains both CRISPR components and antibiotic resistance genes!
so is there a specific approach for monitoring the proper delivery in-vivo as I think the last method is not proper for in-vivo study??
I will appreciate useful information on 1. the cost of the main equipment, and 2. the cost of other essential accessories for cerebral ischemia/reperfusion experiments. Thank you.
The main features of smart homes/buildings include real-time monitoring, remote control, safety from intruders, gas/fire alarm, and so on. Because sensitive and private information is managed within smart homes/buildings, security and privacy solutions must be put in place in order to protect users/businesses' data against violation attempts as well as to guarantee the provision of reliable services. To this end, rules—in the form of policies—associated with the smart home/building resources must be defined and correctly enforced by means of a robust framework for handling the huge amount of IoT data managed.

Hello everyone,
We are setting up an EEG experiment using OpenSesame for purpose of stimulus presentation. EEG device we will use is Neuroelectrics Startstim 32 with NIC2 software to design protocols and monitor EEG/ERP signals. It is recommended to use labstreaming layer (LSL) to connect OpenSesame with NIC2. To completely set up our experiment we need to send triggers/markers during the experiment from OpenSesame to NIC2.
I suppose that we need to do some coding by inline script items. Does anyone have experience with sending triggers from OpenSesame to any EEG device via LSL? If so, I would appreciate very much if someone could send a code that had been used with this purpose. If there isn’t a finished code/solution to share, does anybody have an idea how this could be resolved? I've searched throughout the web about LSL and opensesame and had not found adequate help for OpenSesame particularly, but I did find some codes for LSL and PsychoPy. Do you think that PsychoPy code would work in OpenSesame also (since both are written in Python)?
Thank you very much in advance for any help! :)

Hi all,
In my patch clamp rig we have a 'IR-1000 camera' set up to a 'bnc-video to VGA video converter' which is attached to a monitor, through a VGA cable.
This set up worked fine, but recently we get no signal in the monitor, not even in the test function. We tried replacing all the cables, the video converters, the monitor and the IR-1000 control, nothing worked. The camera is working, since we get the image when we plug the BNC-video cable directly into our old cctv monitors.
The lab member who previously used this rig said he had the same issue, but that the set-up started working again by itself after a while.
Has anyone had this type of issue before? Is there any way to resolve it? Or any ideas to why this must be happening?

Hey everyone,
I am inclined to conduct an experiment during which I wish to monitor the heart rate of participants and analyse it once the experiment is over. Ideally, the device used for this would be a smartwatch that is not too costly but still accurately captures one's heart rate and allows to extract these data at the end of the experiment. Does anyone has some suggestions regarding this kind of smartwatches?
Kind regards, Thomas
I am looking for information or interactive maps that list fertilizers used in a region. I my case the southern United States. I want to determine what elements are in locally used pesticides so that I can determine which elements I should pursue for a monitoring study.
The proposed kc values of pineapple according to the FAO manual 56 is 0.5, 0.3 & 0.3 for the initail, mid and late seasons respectively.
I have 2 equation, and in each equation i have a coefficient of interest:
lets say:
eq1: Y=bX+2cX2+4
eq2: Y=aX2+2dX+12
Giving that the value of a and b are changing over time.
And I am aiming to record the values of a in list A and b in another list B
And from their behaviour i want to draw conclusion about the strength of these coefficients.
But i am a bit confused about how to draw such conclusion and what is the most representative way to monitor a and b behaviour change over time.
Or its better to monitor the increase or decrease of coefficient by summing the difference of recorded values over time.
I have more coefficients to be monitored, and they may have value or not. and my aim is to build meaningful classification that can categorise coefficients as useful or not.

Dear Wetland scientists,
We are currently carrying out a synthesis about every “rapid” tool which can be used to provide information about conditions of soil saturation in wetlands at one point or over a short period of time.
We have already listed : alpha dipyridyl, orthophénantrolyne, FIRIS and MIRIS tubes and films, iron stick, wood stick, lead rich PVC tube, TDR and FDR, well, piezometers, maximum-minimum recorder, water-stained leaves, soil redox potential measurements. Note that we are also documenting tool pros and cons.
Please, do you know other interesting tools that we may add to this synthesis?
Yours sincerely.

Hi everyone. Can anybody discuss the use of Digital BP monitor (e.g. Certeza BM-405) vs traditional mercury sphygmomanometer for the record of blood pressure for research purposes. which one is better than the other one?
Are there any monitoring technologies for predicting educational processes in universities?
Usually, monitoring processes in higher education institutions are aimed at identifying, analyzing and eliminating a particular problem. However, it is not possible to accurately predict the impact of the identified problem on subsequent activities. Our question focuses on technologies that allow us to measure, through what percentage or coefficient, the impact of the identified problem on future activities. If such technologies exist, then on the basis of what parameters or indicators are these percentage or coefficient relations formed?

Dear All.
I am working in LAA WiFi coexistence scenario. For my work, I need to calculate the Latency/Delay in a different way.
From my understanding, the way current solution is calculating the delay is that it is monitoring the time between the packet was first transmitted and last seen from the receiver's perspective. It is done in the FlowMonitor class where you calculate all the delay into delaysum and calculate the average delay.
Now, what I want to do is that, for every received packets, I want to set a timer when the packet is being generated and add with the individual delay values and calculate the avg delay. Now, as I am talking about the LAA-WiFi coexistence, I cannot make a solution that only works for Wi-Fi. So I have to solve this problem from the base, I mean, the Packet class.
Did anyone work in this problem before? Need some expert suggestions. And Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.
kindly, provide link if any
thank you.

I have to discuss an issue regarding relative humidity in Radon monitoring from soil gas. We are continuously monitoring Radon from soil (24/7) for the whole year. With the passage of time, our instruments are reading irregular values because of increasing levels of humidity. Desiccant like Anhydrous Calcium Sulphate (provide with RAD-7 instrument) is useful if we have to do sampling for a limited time and for long term monitoring this method is very expensive. A device like Drystik from Durridge Company is also available but its pump life is of one year. So, for a reliable and long-lasting solution what should have to do to improve our data acquisition and data quality?
Hello,
I'm calculating the mode overlap between my Spot Size Converter (SSC) and an optical fiber (SMF-28, NA = 0.14) in Lumerical FDTD using the Mode Expansion Monitor and Linear DFT Monitor. At the same time, I'm comparing the result with the Mode Overlap Integral of SSC (fig is attached).
The difference value is too much (~20% of difference) and I would like to know if by using the Mode Expansion Monitor the mode overlap calculation is similar to the model attached. The model attached is found in many papers and to use it I simply export the E fields calculated by Lumerical (the SSC and optical fiber E field) and import them in matlab to calculate the Mode Overlap between the fields.
Does anyone know the difference and which would be more accurate?
Thank you.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to inquire about the best method for monitoring the water level of a borehole with a depth of up to 400 meters. Although the depth of the boundary is unknown, it is assumed to be fractured diorite (upper) and diorite bedrock (lower). I've read about open standpipes and vibrating wire piezometers, but I'm concerned about their long-term reliability. It would be fantastic if you could contribute your practical ideas and opinions. I am open to ideas and eager to learn more from you. Thank you sincerely!
Best regards,

Ventilation during adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is poorly understood. Therefore, guideline recommendations are limited. The use of waveform capnography is in part recommended to monitor frequency. Other ventilation measurements such as tidal volume or inspiratory pressure are not regularly obtained, especially when a bag-valve system is used. The use of new monitoring devices can improve guideline adherence and could lead to better understanding of ventilation during CPR. Different EMS systems have varying levels of training, equipment and resources during CPR of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. To better understand the current state of ventilation monitoring during OHCA CPR researcher/practitioner feedback and international perspectives on this question are needed and very much appreciated.

I am currently choosing a device to monitor the heart rate continuously in group during an aquatic exercise. I was informed about both devices named as Suunto Team and the Polar Team. There is anyone who uses one of these devices or have already had any experience with one or both of them? I would like to have any information about it, mainly regarding the use of the device, the app needed to be used, the costs etc.
Kind regards!
A friend shared a 2009 report from Alaska where they used ear-mounted RFIDs to detect grizzly and polar bears from the ground, helicopter, and airplane. Most were active FRID for greater range, but early models were passive RFID. The company used appears to be out of business now (2021) and I've not seen use of RFID where the detections were not fixed (at a bat house opening, peccary attracted to salt licks, etc.).
I am hoping to detect black bear cubs from 100-200m by hand-held antennas by first locating a GPS or VHF collar worn by their mother to get with range so this would be active searches, not passive monitoring.
My search is not finding publications or other use and the suppliers of this technology focus mainly on industrial uses.
Hi, I would like to learn about monitoring macrophytes in rivers, lakes, and heavily modified water bodies. As much as I know, macrophytes are monitored in rivers and lakes, but they are not used as an indicator for ecological status in rivers. Different indicators are used to determine ecological status in rivers So should we monitor them in rivers? I think that it will bring extra costs to the project.
