Image compression and energy harvesting for energy constrained sensors
(2013)
The advances in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology
have led to the integration of all components of electronic system into a single integrated
circuit. Ultra-low power circuit techniques have reduced ...
Traffic Engineering for LISP-Enabled Networks
(2013)
Inter-Domain Traffic engineering in the Internet faces serious limitations because of the current IP routing and addressing architecture. This coupled with Border Gateway Protocol’s (BGP’s) way of selecting performance-blind ...
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 ...
Ultra-wideband miniaturized microstrip patch antennas for wireless communications: design guidelines and modeling
(2013)
The number of wireless communication applications continue to increase steadily, leading to competition for currently allocated frequency bands. Capacity issues in form of data rate and latency have always been a bottleneck ...
A gestural human computer interface for Smart Health
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2013-03-19)
For centuries, man was forced to live a highly active lifestyle with food being a precious commodity.
Technological advances in the past few decades have resulted in increasingly sedentary lifestyles
and a surfeit of ...
Active Mobile Interface for smart health
(2013)
Computer interfaces are rapidly evolving beyond the traditional keyboard-mouse-monitor triad. The widespread availability of touch screens and voice recognition software has made it possible to execute commands in many ...
Cooperative relaying using USRP and GNU radio
(2013)
Wireless communication systems have shown a tremendous development in recent years. New technologies are born day to day. With today's technology, users can communicate with each other from any corner of the world. But ...
A new filtering index for fast processing of SPARQL queries
(2013)
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) has become a popular data model for
representing data on the Web. Using RDF, any assertion can be represented as a (subject,
predicate, object) triple. Essentially, RDF datasets ...
A study of graph partitioning techniques for fast indexing and query processing of a large RDF graph
(2013)
In recent years, the Resource Description Framework (RDF) [34] has become increasingly important for the Web and in domains such as defense and healthcare. Companies such as the New York Times [40], Best Buy [39], and ...
Group scheduling for public safety communications in cellular networks
(2013)
In today's world, use of wireless devices is on the rise. Hence, proper utilization of the available spectrum is very much needed. QOS requirements such as throughput and fairness are the key requirements of cellular ...
Cooperative relaying in cellular networks for improving receiver diversity and cell radius
(2013)
Wireless network sharing has been the principal idea in the recent developments of wireless communication systems not only for improvement in capacity, data rates and coverage area but when considering an emergency service ...
