Impact assessment of policy expressivenessof an optimised access control model forsmart sensors
(IET, 2019-05)
In the incoming internet of things (IoT) applications, smart sensors expose services to interact with them, to be parameterised, managed and maintained. Therefore, fine-grained end-to-end access control enforcement is ...
Fuzzy and Sample Entropies as Predictors of Patient Survival Using Short Ventricular Fibrillation Recordings during out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Optimal defibrillation timing guided by ventricular fibrillation (VF) waveform analysis would contribute to improved survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients by minimizing myocardial damage caused by ...
Application of entropy-based features to predict defibrillation outcome in cardiac arrest
(MDPI, 2016-08)
Prediction of defibrillation success is of vital importance to guide therapy and improve the survival of patients suffering out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Currently, the most efficient methods to predict shock ...
Theoretical Modeling of Viscosity Monitoring with Vibrating Resonance Energy Transfer for Point-of-Care and Environmental Monitoring Applications
(MDPI, 2018-12-21)
Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between two molecules in nanoscale distances is utilized in significant number of applications including biological and chemical applications, monitoring cellular activities, sensors, ...
Study of the Influence of Various Stress-Based Mechanisms on Polarization of an SM mPOF for the Development of Useful Devices
(IEEE, 2017-07-15)
In contrast to conventional polymer optical fibres (POFs), single-mode microstructured POFs (SM mPOF) exhibit polarization properties that make them potentially interesting for their use in the design and development of ...
Accurate Strain Sensing Based On Super-Mode Interference In Strongly Coupled Multi-Core Optical Fibres
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-06-30)
We report on the use of a multi-core fibre (MCF) comprising strongly-coupled cores for accurate strain sensing. Our MCF is designed to mode match a standard single mode optical fibre. This allows us to fabricate simple MCF ...
Design, Fabrication and Testing of a High-Sensitive Fibre Sensor for Tip Clearance Measurements
(MDPI, 2018-08)
A highly sensitive fibre bundle-based reflective optical sensor has been designed and fabricated for Tip Clearance measurements in a turbine rig. The sensor offers high spatial and temporal resolution. The sensor probe ...
Monitoring Chest Compression Quality During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Proof-Of-Concept Of A Single Accelerometer-Based Feedback Algorithm
(Public Library Science, 2018-02-14)
Background
The use of real-time feedback systems to guide rescuers during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) significantly contributes to improve adherence to published resuscitation guidelines. Recently, we designed ...
U-Shaped and Surface Functionalized Polymer Optical Fiber Probe for Glucose Detection
(MDPI, 2017-01)
In this work we show an optical fiber evanescent wave absorption probe for glucose detection in different physiological media. High selectivity is achieved by functionalizing the surface of an only-core poly(methyl ...
Enhancing ventilation detection during cardiopulmonary resuscitation by filtering chest compression artifact from the capnography waveform
(Public Library Science, 2018-08-02)
Background
During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), there is a high incidence of capnograms distorted by chest compression artifact. This phenomenon adversely affects the reliability of automated ventilation detection ...
