Week 6-(13th September 2021 – 19th September 2021)-Writing a Literature Review

15/09/2021 

Week: 6 

Date: 13th September 2021 – 19th September 2021 

Activity: Writing a Literature Review 

 

Content: Prior to the project's approval and throughout its development, research was carried. Research is vital in order to obtain information and details on any sub-topics that may be relevant to the project's completion. This sort of information from other scholars and researchers will go a long way further enhancing the end result of the mechanism within the system. 

The literature review on this topic will simplify the material gathered from the journals used as references for this project. The journals may be written by various authors and cover a wide variety of themes while remaining within the project's context. A combination of collection from four journals will be review in this chapter to reflect added information on the mosquito trap project.  

 

LITERATURE REVIEW 1: RASPBERRY PI FOR KILL MOSQUITOES BY LASER 

According to a journal published on January 21st, 2021 by Dr. Rakhmatulin Ildar, the publication has highlighted a few significant inputs that characteristics the title covered in depth. The inputs are to detect the existence of a mosquito and establish its location for subsequent eradication because mosquitoes are pretty harmful. Mosquitoes, after all, are vectors of schistosomiasis. 

 I noted a few goals in the journal, one of which is to show a created programmed for mosquito monitoring in real time. Beside from that, people on the move who have left a safe zone can be safeguarded by mounting on an unmanned aerial vehicle or the human body. Limited permissible lesion area is another reason that limits the use of laser technology to eliminate mosquitoes. The use of a telescopic lens to track the location of mosquitos was evaluated. To combat mosquitoes, the project employs machine vision, neural networks, and a 1-watt laser.  

In my opinion, the strength of the project by employing the laser to kill mosquitoes is that it can be simply constructed in wide regions even in the presence of high winds.

 LITERATURE REVIEW 2: DESIGN OF A FIBER-OPTIC SENSING MOSQUITO TRAP  

Based on a journal published in November 2013 by Ayan Kumar Biswas, the journal has outlined a few substantial inputs that describe the title addressed in detail. The inputs are the primary goal of this research to implement and evaluate a novel sensing trap for the capture of live Aedes mosquitoes for research and monitoring. Captured mosquitos can be classified based on a variety of factors, notably their species and the medical disorders they carry. In the subsections Existing Mosquito Trap, Power and Energy for Smart Trap, and Design Sustainability, relevant studies are mentioned. 

 

LITERATURE REVIEW 3: IMHS: AN IOT EMBEDDED FOR AEDES MOSQUITO HOME SYSTEM 

Based on a journal published in 2020 by Wan Aezwani Wan Abu Bakar, the journal has outlined a few substantial inputs that describe the title addressed in detail. The inputs are to proposed of Intelligent Mosquito Home System (iMHS) encompasses of a complete Internet of Things (IoT) based solution. 

 

Conclusion:  

As a conclusion, I can evaluate and comprehended both prior and current work in terms of the process and methods used. The outcomes of these prior efforts can be used as a guideline in completing this project.
