Bentonite-assisted carbonisation of waste polyethylene terephthalate bottles for the removal of heavy metals from polluted water by Emmanuel Afriyie, Emmanuel Kwesi Arthur, Emmanuel Gikunoo, Asiwome Boateng

“…The AAS results depicted that the five heavy metals analysed in this work had concentrations above the allowable limits in drinking water and hence showed that the River Oda in Ashanti Region of Ghana is highly polluted and unsafe for drinking by both humans and animals. The removal efficiencies with respect to adsorbent dosages for the adsorption mechanism of the five heavy metals were also investigated and it was observed clearly that they were directly related. …”

From detection to intervention: An end-to-end system for recognizing the “signal for help” gesture in real-time by Federico Buccellato, Eleonora Vacca, Sarah Azimi, Corrado De Sio, Luca Sterpone

“…Despite its potential, its effectiveness has been impeded by limited public awareness, the risk of misinterpretation, and the lack of reliable automated detection systems.To address these challenges, this paper introduces a framework consisting of two interconnected components: a real-time detection system of the “Signal for Help” gesture using a machine learning-based recognition system and a custom mobile application that receives notifications from the detection system and alerts security personnel in real-time.During the development process, we faced several challenges, including detecting the gesture in crowded environments and keeping the computational load low to ensure the system could run efficiently on edge devices.We overcame these challenges by designing a system that combines hand tracking and feature extraction, using tools such as MediaPipe and DeepSORT, followed by a final classification step. …”
