Data privacy regulations have increased significantly recently. As a result, privacy by design (PbD) has become a critical consideration for enterprises that handle personal data. PbD is no longer a plain principle. Rather than that, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) addresses PbD as a required legal requirement for controllers who may face fines for non-compliance with the GDPR. In this paper, we propose a practical solution, 'PbD Microservice,' that can help organizations to achieve privacy regulatory compliance. We will focus on GDPR, one of the most important regulations that

Despite the large amount of research conducted on PTC performance analysis, few and rare numbers of research have considered the design optimization of PTCs. In the present work, a novel multiobjective-optimization model is developed for design optimization of PTCs. The objective functions are the thermal and exergetic efficiencies because they are the most important performance indicators (PIs) of PTCs. The design variables are the inlet temperature, and the outlet and inlet diameters of the PTC receiver tube. The PTC material volume (refers to the volume of the PTC receiver and collector) is

Aeroelasticity studies the static and dynamic interaction between structural deformation and fluid forces. As a result, the aeroelasticity is usually divided into three parts: aerodynamics, structural response, and dynamics with statics as a special case. Instabilities may occur to this interaction (feedback) that lead to structural failure and, even when no instability occurs, the interaction may lead to degradation or improvement of the system performance. There are several unstable phenomena may occur for elastic bodies such as flutter, divergence, low cycle oscillation, buffet, and control

Application of ergonomics' rules has become a necessity in today's world. Due to the lack of knowledge of what these rules are and the resources needed to fund them, a lot of people develop health issues. One of the most common health issues relate to sitting in a wrong posture for extended period.In this document, a framework that can help in minimizing the existence of the sitting posture anomaly is proposed. This framework takes into account using limited resources as well as being able to apply it in a home environment. © 2022 IEEE.

Collaborative applications are becoming more prevalent for a variety of reasons, most important of which is the increased interest in remote work. In addition to adapting the business processes to a remote setting, designers of collaborative software have to decide on how their software can be used collaboratively. This paper discusses the two main technologies used to enable network-based real- or near-real-time collaborative software, namely Operational Transformation and Conflict-free Replicated Data Types. Recent developments in each technology are discussed, as well as a brief overview of

Automotive steering wheel switches technologies are evolving to give easy access to the several interior or exterior functions. This is worth a deep analysis for the current trends in order not to become unintuitive for the driver due to the increasing number of buttons. Through different technologies particularly the capacitive ones, range of innovative solutions have been developed like reconfigurable buttons on the steering wheel to offer commanding several functions twice or triple the number of allocated push buttons. In this paper, we address the problem in a different freely way to

The prosperous advancement in Medical Internet of Things (MIoT) technologies has hastened the development of healthcare systems. MIoT improves the traditional medical facilities through periodically monitor of patient's health records. Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are sensitive private data and needs efficient secure and private schemes that interchange these EMRs between healthcare providers and patients. Most of the current privacy preserving schemes do not provide the desired privacy level and suffer from computation and communication overheads. The length of an IDentity-based Strong

According to the World Health Organization, several factors have affected the accurate reporting of SARS-CoV-2 outbreak status, such as limited data collection resources, cultural and educational diversity, and inconsistent outbreak reporting from different sectors. Driven by this challenging situation, this study investigates the potential expediency of using social network data to develop reliable early information surveillance and warning system for pandemic outbreaks. As such, an enhanced framework of three inherently interlinked subsystems is proposed. The first subsystem includes data

This paper aims to produce an optimization methodology for a truss for minimal stress on critical sections using Machine learning models. This is done by varying the height and length of the truss span and applying live loads on different joints. The optimization of the truss is done through feed forward with back propagation artificial neural network model, The optimized truss is modelled and analysed using finite element and stiffness software. The paper presents the results and identifies the best dimensions for the truss design with a safety factor. © The Authors.

Plain concrete is used for water canal lining due to its low permeability to reduce water losses due to seepage. However, cement manufacture has a negative environmental impact as it produces large amount of CO2 emissions in addition to high energy consumption. In this study, bio-sludge of sewage plants was used an alternative for cement, mixed with sand and crushed stone, and used as an alternative to plan concrete for canal lining. An experimental testing program was designed based on percentages of sludge and soil equal to 2.5%, 5%, and 10% by weight. For each sludge mix, properties were
