“…With the arrival of the normalization phase of epidemic prevention, human's production and life styles have undergone significant changes. Virtue of the Internet of Things, it has gradually become an indispensable part of people's working life to use the Internet and other high-tech achievements ( Goniewicz et al, 2020b , 2020b ), telecommuting ( Golden & Eddleston, 2020 ), electronic payment, block-chain sales ( Alam Khan, Asif, Ahmad, Alharbi, & Aljuaid, 2020 ) etc., which would largely affect the epidemic state of urban management and urban design. Under the condition of epidemic prevention normalization, high-tech means (such as the Internet of Things and the Internet) play important roles to ensure the safety and health of personnel, e.g., designing an efficient tool for viral genome analysis and application in tracing SARS-CoV-2 transmission ( Zhou, Qiu, Pu, Huang, & Ge, 2020 ), proposing dynamic clustering framework for moderating the adverse impact of COVID-19 based on healthcare and simulated mobility data ( Rahman et al, 2020 ), developing intelligent ventilation control system using fast prediction models and monitoring system ( Cao & Ren, 2018 ), etc.…”

Blockchain in manufacturing quality control: A computer simulation study

Blockchain has been applied to quality control in manufacturing, but the problems of false defect detections and lack of data transparency remain. This paper proposes a framework, Blockchain Quality Controller (BCQC), to overcome these limitations while fortifying data security. BCQC utilizes blockchain and Internet-of-Things to form a peer-to-peer supervision network. This paper also proposes a consensus algorithm, Quality Defect Tolerance (QDT), to adopt blockchain for during-production quality control. Simulation results show that BCQC enhances data security and improves defect detections. Although the time taken for the quality control process increases with the number of nodes in blockchain, the application of QDT allows multiple inspections on a workpiece to be consolidated at a faster pace, effectively speeding up the entire quality control process. The BCQC and QDT can improve the quality of parts produced for mass personalization manufacturing.

“…Some patients may also experience headache, runny nose, sore throat, or diarrhea. Initially, these symptoms are mild, the severity begins gradually with an increase in infection that culminates into systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) due to hyperimmune response also known as cytokines storm [22]. Various procedures are employed for the direct detection of COVID-19, these are based on either identifying the viral genome through RT-PCR or antibody detection (Fig.…”

The novel virus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei province of China. This virus disseminated rapidly and reached to an unprecedented pandemic proportion in more than 213 nations with a large number of fatalities. The hypersecretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines is the main cause of mortality and morbidity due to COVID-19, therefore strategies that avert the cytokine storm may play a crucial role in abating the severity of COVID-19. This review highlights the minute details of SARS-CoV-2, its genomic organization, genomic variations within structural and non-structural proteins and viral progression mechanism in human beings. The approaches like antiviral strategies are discussed, including drugs that obstruct viral propagation and suppress the pro-inflammatory cytokines. This compilation emphasizes Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) based therapy alone or in combination with other therapeutics as an attractive curative approach for COVID-19 pandemic. The MSCs and its secretome, including antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have various capabilities, for instance, immunomodulation, regeneration, antimicrobial properties, potential for attenuating the cytokine storm and bare minimum chances of being infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus. The immunomodulatory property of MSCs affects inflammatory state and regulates immune response during SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, as of now, there is no WHO-approved MSCs based therapy for the treatment of COVID-19 infection.
