Today, automatic food/non-food classification became extremely important for many real-time applications, specifically since the pandemic of the COVID-19 virus. Such that the 'no food policy' now became applied more than ever to help decrease the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Consequently, many studies used deep neural networks for the food/non-food classification task, yet these deep neural networks were computationally expensive. As a result, in this paper, a lightweight Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is proposed and put into use for classifying foods and non-foods. Compared to prior

Epilepsy is a chronic nervous disorder, which disturbs the normal daily routine of an epileptic patient due to sudden seizure onset that may cause loss of consciousness. Seizures are periods of aberrant brain activity patterns. Early prediction of an epileptic seizure is critical for those who suffer from it as it will give them time to prepare for an incoming seizure and alert anyone in their close circle of contacts to aid them. This has been an active field of study, powered by the decreasing cost of non-invasive electroencephalogram (EEG) collecting equipment and the rapid evolution of

Telecommunication towers are essential infrastructure in today's fast-paced world. Lattice self-supporting towers, monopole towers, and guyed towers are the three types of structures that can be used for telecommunications towers. When analyzing telecom tower loads, wind loads are the most important ones to address. As a result, it is necessary to choose an appropriate structure that can withstand the wind and the surrounding environment. The main aim of this paper is to propose a guideline for selecting the optimum tower structure based on the surrounding environment. In order to create this

Diabetes is a chronic condition that is characterized by high blood glucose levels and can cause damage to multiple organs over time. Continuous monitoring of glucose levels is essential for both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. There have been major developments in glucose monitoring technology over the past decade, which have been driven by research and industry efforts. Despite these significant advancements, the area of glucose biosensors still faces significant challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive summary of the latest glucose monitoring technologies, including invasive

Diabetic patients need a management tool that combines multiple features and tracks and views detailed data time-efficiently. Effective food logging is an important element of health monitoring. In this paper, we propose 'Suger.ly', a lightweight mobile application with artificial intelligence food recognition for diabetes management. The system has been trained to recognize 101 distinct types of food, with a focus on Egyptian cuisine. The app can then get nutritional value and insulin calculations. The results obtained from the Single-Shot multibox Detection (SSD) MobileNet-V1 food detection

Due to the advances in machine learning techniques, recommender systems nowadays are capable of learning and influencing the users' decisions. Hence, recommendations became an important facility to reduce the cost (or increase the profit) of the operators of the demand networks. In this paper we formulate and study the problem of dynamically optimizing the demand shaping, through content recommendation, and proactive caching. The formulated problem suffers from the curse of dimensionality, so we devise an approximate algorithm optimizing only over a short look-ahead window. The approximate

Food is an integral aspect of daily life in all cultures. It highly affects people's diets, eating behaviors, and overall health. People with poor eating habits are usually overweight or obese, which leads to chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Today, the classification of food images has several uses in managing medical conditions and dieting. Deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) architectures provide the foundation for the most recent food recognition models. However, DCNNs are computationally expensive due to high computation time and memory requirements. In

Communication towers are vital assets in our daily lives as they transfer signals between cell phones facilitating communication and commerce among people and businesses all around the world. Wind loads are crucial in the communication towers design since they are tall and slender. With climate change bringing more storms and higher wind speeds, it is more crucial to research the finest tower structure that withstands such conditions with the least life cycle cost. Therefore, in this paper, a comparative case study is performed between 45 m height lattice tower and monopole tower in Egypt. Two

As the main pillar of the Smart City, Smart Highway manifests the centralized connectivity concept between the self-driving vehicles. Internet of Vehicle or IoV is the solution for improved connectivity between driverless vehicles. One of the major challenges in IoV research is the lack of datasets available. That is why the Internet of vehicles is one of the hot topics in research nowadays. IoV field is still a new topic in research, which leaves a huge shortage in the datasets available to train any Artificial Intelligent (AI) model for IoV systems. IoV systems have many research points such
