Accurate inventory allows for more precise forecasting, including profit projections, easier monitoring, shorter outages, and fewer delivery interruptions. Moreover, the long hours of physical labor involved over such a broad area and the effect of inefficiencies could lead to less accurate inventory. Unreliable data and predictions, unannounced stoppages in operations, production delays and delivery, and a considerable loss of profit can all arise from inaccurate inventory. This paper extends our previous work with drones and RFID by evaluating: the number of flights needed to read all tags deployed in the field, the number of scans per pass, and the optimum drone speed for reading tags. The drone flight plan was divided into eight passes from southwest to northwest and back at a horizontal speed of 2.2, 1.7, and 1.1 m per second (m/s) at a vertically fixed altitude. The results showed that speed did not affect the number of new tags scanned (p-value > 0.05). Results showed that 90% of the tags were scanned in less than four trips (eight passes) at 1.7 m/s. Based on these results, the system can be used for large-scale nursery inventory and other industries that use RFID tags in outdoor environments. We presented two novel measurements on evaluating RFID reader efficiency by measuring how fast the reader can read and the shortest distance traveled by the RFID reader over tag.

This study aimed to develop a device for traceability of the goods delivery process, using radio frequency technology (RFID), which will inform the date, time and location where the goods are being delivered to the end customer. The methodology used consisted of three stages: 1) data collection through a portable collector along with RFID tags, 2) data processing by the microcontroller and 3) carrying out the consultation of the information contained in the tag through the communication between the RFID and the Arduino, whose product traceability was carried out through radio frequency sending information via GSM; while the materials used were 1 mega arduino board, 1 6m Neo GPS shield, 1 Sim 900 module, 1 RC522 RFID reader, 1 16x2 graphic LCD display and 1 keychain RFID tag. For testing the sending of date, time, product specifications and location information via SMS to the registered cell phone at the time of product delivery, operations were carried out in different locations with different dates and times and the messages were sent without fail. The results confirmed the display of the information “Data Collected Successfully” on the LCD display, after the reading of the LCD label by the collector. The proposed prototype proved to be effective, managing to control the delivery of low-cost goods through passive tag on a portable RFID reader.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) is an infectious virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmitted mainly through droplets and aerosol affecting the respiratory tract and lungs. Little is known regarding why some individuals are more susceptible than others and develop severe symptoms. In this study, we analyzed the nasopharyngeal microbiota profile of aged patients with COVID-19 (asymptomatic vs. symptomatic) vs. healthy individuals. We examined the nasopharynx swab of 84 aged-matched patients, out of which 27 were negative asymptomatic (NegA), 30 were positive asymptomatic (PA), and 27 patients were positive symptomatic (PSY). Our analysis revealed the presence of abundant Cyanobacterial taxa at phylum level in PA (p-value = 0.0016) and PSY (p-value = 0.00038) patients along with an upward trend in the population of Litoricola, Amylibacter, Balneola, and Aeromonas at the genus level. Furthermore, to know the relationship between the nasal microbiota composition and severity of COVID-19, we compared PA and PSY groups. Our data show that the nasal microbiota of PSY patients was significantly enriched with the signatures of two bacterial taxa: Cutibacterium (p-value = 0.045) and Lentimonas (p-value = 0.007). Furthermore, we also found a significantly lower abundance of five bacterial taxa, namely: Prevotellaceae (p-value = 7 × 10−6), Luminiphilus (p-value = 0.027), Flectobacillus (p-value = 0.027), Comamonas (p-value = 0.048), and Jannaschia (p-value = 0.012) in PSY patients. The dysbiosis of the nasal microbiota in COVID-19 positive patients might have a role in contributing to the severity of COVID-19. The findings of our study show that there is a strong correlation between the composition of the nasal microbiota and COVID-19 severity. Further studies are needed to validate our finding in large-scale samples and to correlate immune response (cytokine Strome) and nasal microbiota to identify underlying mechanisms and develop therapeutic strategies against COVID-19.

This chapter picks up and explains some problems on system costs or specifications faced when trying to construct a traceability system by using RFID tags. The peripherals including RFID reader are even now expensive because it is not widespread in the market. Because of the sense of comparatively high price of the system cost and the dilemma to the specification, the impression that construction approach of the traceability system using RFID tags may be in the contemplation period is strong. This chapter shows these problems obtained from a market trend concerning the traceability in recent years and the result of reviews of the RFID tag applications or proof experiments. Next, the points of the future traceability system construction using these new technologies, especially about simple and handy type RFID reader using FPGA are described.

In large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) applications, tags are attached to items, and users use a radiofrequency identification (RFID) reader to quickly identify tags and obtain the corresponding item information. Since multiple tags share the same channel to communicate with the reader, when they respond simultaneously, tag collision will occur, and the reader cannot successfully obtain the information from the tag. To cope with the tag collision problem, ultrahigh frequency (UHF) RFID standard EPC G1 Gen2 specifies an anticollision protocol to identify a large number of RFID tags in an efficient way. The Q -algorithm has attracted much more attention as the efficiency of an EPC C1 Gen2-based RFID system can be significantly improved by only a slight adjustment to the algorithm. In this paper, we propose a novel Q -algorithm for RFID tag identification, namely, HTEQ, which optimizes the time efficiency of an EPC C1 Gen2-based RFID system to the utmost limit. Extensive simulations verify that our proposed HTEQ is exceptionally expeditious compared to other algorithms, which promises it to be competitive in large-scale IoT environments.

This paper contains the campus security tracking system (CST) has been designed and implemented using the RFID and ZigBee network. The CST reads the RFID tags data through FRID & ZigBee node, and then sends it to PC node by a custom wireless protocol on the ZigBee. PC node gives related warning (or) hints by the result of matching master slave RFID tag information. When the warning occurs, its user can logon the web system to get the real-time tracking for valuables with embedded slave RFID where the thief arrives at any one access control node, it would be blocked. User can also manage his own valuables such as lending and recovery operation through the Web manager center. The system can achieve large-scale logistics management and tracking, and has good market prospects and value in use.

Summary: Our meta-analysis focused on the relationship between homocysteine (Hcy) level and the incidence of aneurysms and looked at the relationship between smoking, hypertension and aneurysms. A systematic literature search of Pubmed, Web of Science, and Embase databases (up to March 31, 2020) resulted in the identification of 19 studies, including 2,629 aneurysm patients and 6,497 healthy participants. Combined analysis of the included studies showed that number of smoking, hypertension and hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) in aneurysm patients was higher than that in the control groups, and the total plasma Hcy level in aneurysm patients was also higher. These findings suggest that smoking, hypertension and HHcy may be risk factors for the development and progression of aneurysms. Although the heterogeneity of meta-analysis was significant, it was found that the heterogeneity might come from the difference between race and disease species through subgroup analysis. Large-scale randomized controlled studies of single species and single disease species are needed in the future to supplement the accuracy of the results.
