Summary: This paper introduces a method to improve the interaction between abstraction and concreteness in modeling and simulation using Model-Driven Engineering. By translating abstract definitions into formal simulation models, formalization and implementation times can be reduced. Additionally, a graphical software tool has been developed to support the development of simulation models.

Summary: A brain-computer interface (BCI) allows direct communication between a user and a computer through the central nervous system. An affective BCI (aBCI) monitors and regulates the emotional state of the brain, which has various applications in human cognition, communication, decision-making, and health. This tutorial provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide on aBCIs, covering basic concepts, components of a closed-loop aBCI system, representative applications, and challenges and opportunities in aBCI research and applications.

Summary: The parameters of quantum systems grow exponentially with the number of particles, posing challenges to numerical simulations on classical computers. The concept of quantum computer designed quantum hardware is applied to quantum optics to address limitations in quantum device design and verification due to small system sizes. By mapping complex experimental setups to gate-based quantum circuits, digital quantum simulation of experiments and designing setups for entangled photonic systems are explored, promising to be a useful tool for future quantum device design.

Summary: In this article, the problem of hogweed detection using a drone equipped with RGB and multispectral cameras is addressed. Two approaches are studied: offline detection running on the orthophoto and real-time scanning from the frame stream on the edge device. The introduction of an additional convolution neural network trained with transfer learning helps boost the detection quality and eliminate the need for a multispectral camera.

Summary: The increasing environmental regulations and agreements in the chemical industry have led to the need to adapt processes to more intelligent production in order to achieve sustainable operation. The environmental assessment of the suspension PVC production process using the waste reduction algorithm (WAR) revealed that the process transforms raw materials with high impacts into substances with lower potential environmental impact (PEI). However, the process still generates high PEI due to intensive energy consumption and the emission of toxic substances and greenhouse gases. The evaluation also showed that natural gas is the most suitable fuel for reducing environmental impacts.

Summary: Randomized control trials and meta-analyses have shown that computer-aided detection (CADe) can significantly increase adenoma detection rates (ADRs) during colonoscopies. However, the issue of false positives (FPs) with CADe is a major limitation, leading to potential user fatigue and increased procedure time. Water exchange (WE) is emerging as a potential method to reduce FPs and improve ADRs through CADe.

Summary: Opacity is an important property in system theory that determines whether a system can keep its secrets from passive observers with limited observations. This study focuses on weak and strong k-step opacity, proposing a new algorithm to verify weak k-step opacity, which has lower complexity and is not dependent on the parameter k. The algorithm can also be used to verify strong k-step opacity by reducing it to weak k-step opacity, achieving better complexity and independence from the parameter k.

Summary: The infectious disease Covid-19 has caused significant global impacts since 2019, leading to social, economic, and humanitarian crises. Countries have adopted different strategies based on their capabilities and technological infrastructure to combat the virus. An intelligent and automatic healthcare system is crucial for controlling such a massive epidemic. Initially, the focus was on lockdown measures and disease diagnosis, but now research has shifted towards computer-aided methods for monitoring, tracking, detecting, and treating individuals affected by Covid-19, as well as providing services to citizens. This article surveys computer-based approaches in prevention, detection, and service provision for combating Covid-19, analyzing current methods, providing a technical taxonomy, and exploring future challenges and opportunities.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of three common pedometer algorithms under varying gait regularity, finding that semi-regular and unstructured gaits resulted in errors ranging from 5-466%. This highlights the need to assess pedometer algorithms on activities that involve changes in gait regularity.
