Blockchain efficient Byzantine fault tolerance consensus algorithm for IIoT by LI Fengqi, SONG Qingqing, XU Hui, DU Xuefeng, GAO Jialong, TONG Ning, WANG Deguang

“…Nodes with high credit were randomly selected as the master node by the adaptive master node algorithm, ensuring its security. Experimental results show that CD-PBFT not only can maintain the safety and liveness of the consensus algorithm but also can reduce network delay by 34.8% and increase throughput by 25.2% compared with PBFT, which meets the double requirements of efficiency and security fault tolerance.…”

An AI-Based Digital Scanner for <i>Varroa destructor</i> Detection in Beekeeping by Daniela Scutaru, Simone Bergonzoli, Corrado Costa, Simona Violino, Cecilia Costa, Sergio Albertazzi, Vittorio Capano, Marko M. Kostić, Antonio Scarfone

“…The results highlighted the high repeatability of the measurements (R² ≥ 0.998) and the high accuracy of the BeeVS device; when at least 10 mites per sheet were present, the device showed a cumulative percentage error below 1%, compared to approximately 20% for human visual observation. Given its repeatability and reliability, the device can be considered a valid tool for beekeepers and scientists, offering the opportunity to monitor many beehives in a short time, unlike visual counting, which is done on a sample basis.…”
