Combined Effects of Long-Term Sulfur Dioxide Exposure and Environmental Heat Stress on the Risk of Kidney Stone Disease.

OBJECTIVES: Kidney stone disease is influenced by environmental, metabolic, and climatic factors. Although sulfur dioxide and environmental heat stress have each been associated with renal dysfunction, their combined long-term effects on kidney stone development remain unclear. This study examined whether chronic exposure to ambient sulfur dioxide and environmental heat stress was associated with ...

Smart Livestock: A Federated Learning Based System for Real-Time Cattle Health, Stress and Water Resource Monitoring.

BACKGROUND: Centralized machine learning (ML) models often face challenges related to data privacy, messaging latency and limited internet access in rural areas. To address these issues, a federated learning (FL) based architecture for real-time detection of health and stress in cattle using sensors is deployed. This model enables edge devices such as smart collars, wearable sensors and cameras, t...
