The book entitled "The Fundamentals and Empirical Design of a Smart Fire Detection System" was published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing in November 2020. This book introduces a smart fire detection system designed using a wireless sensor network and fuzzy methods. This system predicts, controls, and provides alerts to various events based on intelligent techniques. Routing protocols are performed based on intelligent procedures in which they are classified into two main groups: static and dynamic. Static protocols are used to transmit data packets between stationary nodes, while dynamic protocols are applied to transmit messages between rescue teams and fire departments. The active and passive states are specified for sensor nodes to balance the remaining energy of the nodes and prolong the network lifetime. The probability of explosion, fire, burn, and suffocation is determined based on fuzzy procedures. People affected can be guided to the exit at event places based on an intelligent method. In addition, members and dispatch routes of rescue and support teams are selected using intelligent methods to reduce financial losses and human casualties. The book will be useful for professors, researchers, and engineers in computer and electrical engineering.

The book "The Fundamentals and Empirical Design of a Smart Fire Detection System"
The paper "Novel Reversible CLA, Optimized RCA and Parallel Adder/Subtractor Circuits"
The paper entitled "Novel Reversible CLA, Optimized RCA and Parallel Adder/Subtractor Circuits" was published by Serbian Journal of Electrical Engineering in October 2020. This paper proposes reversible circuit designs of the three most commonly used adders: carry look-ahead adder (CLA adder), ripple carry adder (RCA adder), and parallel adder/subtractor. The n-bit reversible CLA adder, called CLA-GH, is designed using the Peres and Fredkin gates. The n-bit optimized reversible RCA adder, called ORCA-GH, is designed using the reversible circuit of a parity-preserving reversible full adder. Both circuits reduce the quantum cost. However, the ORCA-GH circuit also improves the number of constant inputs. Furthermore, the n-bit reversible parallel adder/subtractor, called PAS-GH, is designed using the Feynman, Peres, and Fredkin gates. It decreases the number of garbage outputs and quantum cost. The transistor realizations of the CLA-GH and PAS-GH circuits are provided accordingly. The evaluation results indicate that the proposed circuits surpass the existing works in all figures of merit.
