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 ...
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 ...
Implementation Issues of Adaptive Energy Detection in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
(MDPI AG, 2017-04-23)
Abstract
Spectrum sensing (SS) enables the coexistence of non-coordinated heterogeneous wireless systems operating in the same band. Due to its computational simplicity, energy detection (ED) technique has been widespread ...
Feasibility of the capnogram to monitor ventilation rate during cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
Aim:The rates of chest compressions (CCs) and ventilations are both important metrics to monitor
the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Capnography permits monitoring
ventilation, but the CCs provided during ...
Computational Thinking in pre-university Blended Learning classrooms
(Elsevier, 2017-05-01)
This article describes the implementation of various core
elements of Computational Thinking in the classrooms of schools of Latin
America and USA in two specific courses: PC-01 and ECE130. These courses
were designed ...
Wearable Slot Antenna at 2.45 GHz for Off-Body Radiation: Analysis of Efficiency,Frequency Shift, and Body Absorption
(Wiley, 2017-09-12)
The interaction of body-worn antennas with the human body causes a significant decrease in antenna efficiency and a shift in resonant frequency. A resonant slot in a small conductive box placed on the body has been shown ...
