"Internet of things (IoT) domain targets human with smart resolutions through the connection of “M2M” in all over the world, effectively. It was difficult to ignore domain importance field of IoT with the new deployment of applications such as smartphone in recent days. The most important layer in architecture of IoT is network layer, because of various systems (perform of cloud computing, switching, hub, gateway, so on), different technologies of connection (Long-Term Evolution (LTE), WIFI, Bluetooth, etc.) gathered in layer. Network layers should transfer the information from or to various applications/objects, via gateways/interfaces between networks that are heterogeneous, therefore utilizing different connection technologies, protocols. Recent work highlighted IoT technologies state-of-the-art utilized in architectures of IoT, some variations among them in addition to the applications of them in life."

In this present state-of-the-art, Internet of Things (IOT) is an emerging technology that is making our world smarter. WiFi enabled greenhouse monitoring is an intelligent system which is based on several sensors that monitor various changes in temperature, gas concentrations, light and soil moisture in the greenhouse. This comes with an added advantage or provision of linking all these sensors to your mobile phones or computers/laptops using Wi-Fi and internet services through the concept of Internet of Things (IoT), so that if there are any fluctuations, you will be notified immediately. This provides convenient control, through manual operations if necessary, of the greenhouse anytime and anywhere as long as the device is connected to the internet. In this an artificial environment is created so that the crops yield more crops per square meter compared to open field cultivation since the micro climatic parameters that determine crop yield are continuously examined and controlled to ensure that an optimum environment is created.

AbstractWith the rapid development of deep learning techniques, the popularity of voice services implemented on various Internet of Things (IoT) devices is ever increasing. In this paper, we examine user-level membership inference in the problem space of voice services, by designing an audio auditor to verify whether a specific user had unwillingly contributed audio used to train an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model under strict black-box access. With user representation of the input audio data and their corresponding translated text, our trained auditor is effective in user-level audit. We also observe that the auditor trained on specific data can be generalized well regardless of the ASR model architecture. We validate the auditor on ASR models trained with LSTM, RNNs, and GRU algorithms on two state-of-the-art pipelines, the hybrid ASR system and the end-to-end ASR system. Finally, we conduct a real-world trial of our auditor on iPhone Siri, achieving an overall accuracy exceeding 80%. We hope the methodology developed in this paper and findings can inform privacy advocates to overhaul IoT privacy.

Abstract Background: Congenital CMV infection is the first worldwide cause of congenital viral infection and a major cause of sensorineural hearing loss and mental retardation. As systematic screening of pregnant women and newborns is still debated in many countries, this systematic review aims to provide the state of the art on current practices concerning management of congenital CMV infection.Methods: We will perform electronically searches on MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library (CENTRAL), ClinicalTrials.gov, Web of Science and hand searches in grey literature. Interventions regarding biological, imaging, and therapeutic management of infected pregnant women, fetuses and neonates/children (from birth to 6 years old) will be studied in this systematic review. Study screening will be performed in duplicate by two independent reviewers and risk of bias will be evaluated with the ROBINS-I tool. Discussion: This review will provide the state of the art of current management of congenital CMV infection in pregnant women, fetuses, neonates and children until 6 years old, in order to have an overview of current practices of congenital CMV infection.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42019124342

Internet of things (IoT) is realized by the idea of free flow of information amongst various low-power embedded devices that use the Internet to communicate with one another. It is predicted that the IoT will be widely deployed and will find applicability in various domains of life. Demands of IoT have lately attracted huge attention, and organizations are excited about the business value of the data that will be generated by deploying such networks. On the contrary, IoT has various security and privacy concerns for the end users that limit its proliferation. In this paper, we have identified, categorized, and discussed various security challenges and state-of-the-art efforts to resolve these challenges.

With the aim of providing designer guidelines for choosing the most suitable solution, according to the given design specifications, in this paper a review of charge pump (CP) topologies for the power management of Internet of Things (IoT) nodes is presented. Power management of IoT nodes represents a challenging task, especially when the output of the energy harvester is in the order of few hundreds of millivolts. In these applications, the power management section can be profitably implemented, exploiting CPs. Indeed, presently, many different CP topologies have been presented in literature. Finally, a data-driven comparison is also provided, allowing for quantitative insight into the state-of-the-art of integrated CPs.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has tremendous success in health care, smart city, industrial production and so on. Protected agriculture is one of the fields which has broad application prospects of IoT. Protected agriculture is a mode of highly efficient development of modern agriculture that uses artificial techniques to change climatic factors such as temperature, to create environmental conditions suitable for the growth of animals and plants. This review aims to gain insight into the state-of-the-art of IoT applications in protected agriculture and to identify the system structure and key technologies. Therefore, we completed a systematic literature review of IoT research and deployments in protected agriculture over the past 10 years and evaluated the contributions made by different academicians and organizations. Selected references were clustered into three application domains corresponding to plant management, animal farming and food/agricultural product supply traceability. Furthermore, we discussed the challenges along with future research prospects, to help new researchers of this domain understand the current research progress of IoT in protected agriculture and to propose more novel and innovative ideas in the future.
