Potential role of particulate matter in the spreading of COVID-19 in Northern Italy: first observational study based on initial epidemic diffusion by Alessandro Miani, Annamaria Colao, Prisco Piscitelli, Leonardo Setti, Fabrizio Passarini, Gianluigi De Gennaro, Pierluigi Barbieri, Sabina Licen, Maria Grazia Perrone, Andrea Piazzalunga, Massimo Borelli, Jolanda Palmisani, Alessia Di Gilio, Emanuele Rizzo

“…In addition to the number of exceedances of the daily limit value of PM10, we also considered population data and daily travelling information for each province.Results Exceedance of the daily limit value of PM10 appears to be a significant predictor of infection in univariate analyses (p<0.001). Less polluted provinces had a median of 0.03 infections over 1000 residents, while the most polluted provinces showed a median of 0.26 cases. …”

Multi-node cooperation based robust visible light intelligent positioning by Sicong LIU, Danping SU, Tiankuo WEI, Xianyao WANG

“…Visible light communication is expected to be one of the key alternative technologies for 6G with the advantages of abundant spectrum resources, less susceptibility to electromagnetic pollution and green safety, which also provides a new idea for high-precision indoor positioning.However, the positioning accuracy can be significantly degraded in the harsh indoor environment where LED that can be used as an anchor is insufficient or severely blocked.Therefore, a robust visible light intelligent positioning method based on multi-node cooperation was investigated.Considering the non-line-of-sight propagation of visible light and the dynamic change of user terminal orientation, a cooperative localization mechanism between user terminals was established to obtain mutual information gain and a convolutional-recurrent neural network was designed, and the theoretical analysis of cooperative localization accuracy performance was carried out.Simulation results show that the introduction of the cooperative localization mechanism can effectively improve positioning performance under harsh conditions.…”
