State of the Art and Trends Review of Smart Metering in Electricity Grids
(MDPI, 2016-03)
Climate change, awareness of energy efficiency, new trends in electricity markets, the obsolescence of the actual electricity model, and the gradual conversion of consumers to prosumer profiles are the main agents of ...
Analysis of the Channel Influence to Power Line Communications Based on ITU-T G.9904 (PRIME)
(MDPI, 2016-01)
ITU-T G.9904 standard, also known as PoweRline Intelligent Metering Evolution (PRIME), is a Power Line Communications standard for advanced metering, grid control and asset monitoring defined by the International ...
Tip-Clearance Measurement in the First Stage of the Compressor of an Aircraft Engine
(MDPI, 2016-11-11)
In this article, we report the design of a reflective intensity-modulated optical fiber sensor for blade tip-clearance measurement, and the experimental results for the first stage of a compressor of an aircraft engine ...
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 ...
Feedback on the Rate and Depth of Chest Compressions during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Using Only Accelerometers
(Public Library Science, 2016-03-01)
Background
Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is key to increase survival from cardiac arrest. Providing chest compressions with adequate rate and depth is difficult even for well-trained rescuers. The use ...
Eurobalise-Train communication modelling to assess interferences in railway control signalling systems
(Macrothink Institute, 2016-05-10)
The evolution of the railway sector depends, to a great extent, on the deployment of advanced railway signalling systems. These signalling systems are based on communication architectures that must cope with complex ...
Characterisation of Exposure to Non-Ionising Electromagnetic Fields in the Spanish INMA Birth Cohort: Study Protocol
(Biomed Central, 2016-02-18)
Background: Analysis of the association between exposure to electromagnetic fields of non-ionising radiation (EMF-NIR) and health in children and adolescents is hindered by the limited availability of data, mainly due to ...
An architecture for dynamic QoS management at Layer 2 for DOCSIS access networks using OpenFlow
(Elsevier, 2016-01-15)
Over the last few years, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as one of the most disruptive and profitable novelties in networking. SDN was originally conceived to improve performance and reduce costs in Ethernet-based ...
Machine Learning Techniques for the Detection of Shockable Rhythms in Automated External Defibrillators
(Public Library Science, 2016-07-21)
Early recognition of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and electrical therapy are key for the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients treated with automated external defibrillators (AED). AED algorithms for ...
Introducing mobile edge computing capabilities through distributed 5G Cloud Enabled Small Cells
(2016)
Current trends in broadband mobile networks are addressed towards the placement of different capabilities at the edge of the mobile network in a centralised way. On one hand, the split of the eNB between baseband processing ...
