This work explores a novel simple technique to investigate the shelf life of fruit using Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). EIS is a non-destructive analysis that focuses on studying the electrical impedance variations during ripening of fruit. The purpose of this study is the use of a biodegradable natural plastic packaging for extending fruit and vegetable shelf life. Polyethylene

Double-dispersion impedance models are important for the accurate fitting of spectral impedance measurements in Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). While the Cole–Cole model is the most widely known, it is possible to define double-dispersion Cole–Davidson and Havriliak–Negami models as well. In this work, we show that more freedom can be exercised when these three models are combined

The rising interest in assistive and autonomous driving systems throughout the past decade has led to an active research community in perception and scene interpretation problems like lane detection. Traditional lane detection methods rely on specialized, hand-tailored features which is slow and prone to scalability. Recent methods that rely on deep learning and trained on pixel-wise lane

This generation faces existential threats because of the global assault of the novel Corona virus 2019 (i.e., COVID-19). With more than thirteen million infected and nearly 600000 fatalities in 188 countries/regions, COVID-19 is the worst calamity since the World War II. These misfortunes are traced to various reasons, including late detection of latent or asymptomatic carriers, migration, and

Fuzzy C-Means clustering is among the most successful clustering techniques available in the literature. The capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) is one of the most studied NP-hard problems. CVRP has attracted the attention of many researchers due to its importance within the supply chain management field. This study aims to develop a fuzzy c-means clustering heuristic to efficiently solve

The increased usage demand for digital multimedia has induced significant challenges regarding copyright protection, which is the copy control and proof of ownership. Digital watermarking serves as a solution to these kinds of problems. Among different types of digital watermarking, visible watermarking protects the copyrights effectively, since the approach not only prevents pirates but also

In recent years, many probability models proposed to calculate the collision probability for each vehicle and those models used in collision avoidance algorithms and intersection management algorithms. In this paper, we introduce a method to calculate the collision probability of vehicles at an urban intersection. The proposed model uses the current position, speed, acceleration, and turning

The Cole–Davidson function is an efficient tool for describing the tissue behavior, but the conventional methods of approximation are not applicable due the form of this function. In order to overcome this problem, a novel scheme for approximating the Cole–Davidson function, based on the utilization of a curve fitting procedure offered by the MATLAB software, is introduced in this work. The
