Adaptive thermal comfort computation with Zigbee wireless sensor networks
(2013)The rapid development of wireless communications, scalable technology enabling large scale mass production of System-On-Chip boards, and low cost and low power sensors have made wireless sensor networks easy accessible and ... -
Baseline cortical activation to food pictures associated with change in weight, hunger, cognitive restraint, and disinhibition following bariatric surgery
(2013)Introduction: Recent research suggests that bariatric surgery may be associated with functional brain changes. Baseline functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) food motivation paradigms may reveal particular patterns ... -
CSISE: cloud-based semantic image search engine
(2014-03-27)Due to rapid exponential growth in data, a couple of challenges we face today are how to handle big data and analyze large data sets. An IBM study showed the amount of data created in the last two years alone is 90% of the ... -
Energy and Data Conversion Circuits for Low Power Sensory Systems
(2013)This dissertation focuses on the problem of increasing the lifetime of wireless sensors. This problem is addressed from two different angles: energy harvesting and data compression. Energy harvesting enables a sensor to ... -
A Novel cell phone based application for tracking the vaccination coverage in rural communities
(2013)Millions of children born worldwide do not receive proper vaccination. Driven by the concern for the lives of such children, institutions and organizations around the world have emphasized the need to strengthen vaccination ... -
Sequential Designs with Application in Software Engineering
(2014-03-31)Presented here is a Bayesian approach to test case allocation in the software reliability estimation. Bayesian analysis allows us to update our beliefs about the reliability of a particular partition as we test, and thus, ... -
Silicon on ferroelectric insulator field effect transistor (SOF-FET) a new device for the next generation ultra low power circuits
(2013)Field effect transistors (FETs) are the foundation for all electronic circuits and processors. These devices have progressed massively to touch its final steps in subnanometer level. Left and right proposals are coming to ...
