Fabrication of Active Polymer Optical Fibers by Solution Doping and Their Characterization
(MDPI, 2018-12-31)
This paper employs the solution-doping technique for the fabrication of active polymer optical fibers (POFs), in which the dopant molecules are directly incorporated into the core of non-doped uncladded fibers. Firstly, ...
Feasibility Assessment of a Fine-Grained Access Control Model on Resource Constrained Sensors
(MDPI, 2018-02-13)
Upcoming smart scenarios enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) envision smart objects that provide services that can adapt to user behavior or be managed to achieve greater productivity. In such environments, smart things ...
Expressive Policy-Based Access Control for Resource-Constrained Devices
(IEEE, 2018-02-01)
Upcoming smart scenarios enabled by the Internet of Things envision smart objects that expose services that can adapt to user behavior or be managed with the goal of achieving higher productivity, often in multi-stakeholder ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
An on-line VAD based on Multi-Normalisation Scoring (MNS) of observation likelihoods
(Elsevier Ltd., 2018-05-31)
Voice activity detection (VAD) is an essential task in expert systems that rely on oral interfaces. The VAD module detects the presence of human speech and separates speech segments from silences and non-speech noises. The ...
A Framework for Vulnerability Detection in European Train Control Railway Communications
(Wiley Hindawi, 2018)
Railway systems have evolved considerably in the last years with the adoption of new communication technologies. Aiming to achieve a single European railway network, the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) ...
