The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly changed the mindset of the people and over the period they started practicing healthy lifestyle to contain the spread of the virus. Despite this, increase in the number of cases and death rates across the globe are major cause of concern. In addition to maintaining the healthy lifestyle it is also essential to exploit the technological advancements in the field of Internet of Things (IoT) in designing a cost-effective wearable device which could possibly indicate the early stages of virus infection. In this work, a low cost IoT enabled wearable device is designed which generates alerts in case of any of the measured parameter goes out of the normal range besides sending notifications.

<div>This paper has proposed detection and physical layer security provision for printed sensory tag systems for internet of things (IoT) applications. The printed sensory tags can be a very cost-effective way to speed up the proliferation of the intelligent world of IoT. The printed Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) of a sensory tag is chipless with the fully printable feature, non-line-of-sight reading, low cost, and robustness to the environment. The detection and adoption of security features for such tags in a robust environment are still challenging. This paper initially presents a robust technology for detecting tags using both the amplitude and phase information of the frequency signature. After successfully identifying tag IDs, the paper presents novel physical layer security using a deep learning model to prevent the cloning of tags. Our experiment shows that the proposed system can detect and identify the unique physical attributes of the tag and isolate the clone tag from the genuine tag. It is believed that such real-time and precise detection and security features bring this technology closer to commercialisation for IoT applications.</div>

&lt;p&gt;The collective term &amp;#8216;Internet of Things&amp;#8217; (IoT) encompasses a variety of technologies and methods providing novel opportunities for data acquisition and control in environmental sciences. Availability of cost effective components as well as support of large open source communities allow scientists to gain more flexibility and control over their experimental setups. However quality of measurements, stability of instruments as well as real costs for development and maintenance are often underestimated challenges. The presentation introduces current best practices of IoT principles in scientific applications. Examples of low cost sensors, low power electronics, wireless data transmission protocols, time series databases as well as real-time visualization are presented and discussed. Furthermore light is shed on non-technological issues of the &amp;#8216;do-it-yourself&amp;#8217; or &amp;#8216;maker&amp;#8217; approach such as social and psychological aspects. The &amp;#8216;make-share-learn&amp;#8217; paradigm of the maker culture can be utilized to raise awareness. It provides significant opportunities for environmental education and community building which constantly gain more importance in the context of climate and environmental change.&lt;/p&gt;

Over seventy million people in Bangladesh are drinking arsenic contaminated water. There is a lack of available sustainable arsenic removal technologies in the rural Bangladesh. This paper reports on a successful retrofit that allows for readily available, cost effective and dependable membrane system application for arsenic removal in rural Bangladesh. The retrofit is very simple, overcoming the limitation of a hydraulic pressure by a low cost pump placement in line to the membrane system. The system was field tested in a well with high arsenic concentration 0.1 mg/L (Government of Bangladesh Limit is 0.05 mg/L), along with high iron and hardness. In the field trial, the retrofitted technology was successful and produced water that does not contain any arsenic (0.0 mg/L), low in iron, and low in hardness. The system cost, along with the retrofitting, is only a hundred and seventy US dollars, a sum within the reach of many in Bangladesh. It is also important to note that we are using an existing technology available off the shelf and retrofitting it using locally available materials. The work reported in the paper will create a significant impact relief to the people in the arsenic affected regions of Bangladesh.

Abstract The advent of the Internet of Things and the growing interest in continuous monitoring by wearables have created a need for conformable and stretchable displays. Electrochromic displays (ECDs) are receiving attention as a cost-effective solution for many simple applications. However, stretchable ECDs have yet to be produced in a robust, large scale and cost-efficient manner. Here we develop a process for making fully screen printed stretchable ECDs. By evaluating commercially available inks with respect to electromechanical properties, including electrochromic PEDOT:PSS inks, our process can be directly applied in the manufacturing of stretchable organic electronic devices. The manufactured ECDs retained colour contrast with useful switching times at static strains up to 50 % and strain cycling up to 30 % strain. To further demonstrate the applicability of the technology, double-digit 7-segment ECDs were produced, which could conform to curved surfaces and be mounted onto stretchable fabrics while remaining fully functional. Based on their simplicity, robustness and processability, we believe that low cost printed stretchable ECDs can be easily scaled up and will find many applications within the rapidly growing markets of wearable electronics and the Internet of Things.
