Prematurely born babies usually suffer from nutrition deficiency. Total parental nutrition (TPN) has been one of the major treatments commonly used by clinicians to improve the nutritional needs of prematurely born babies. This paper described the application of an artificial neuromolecular (ANM) chip to a database of prematurely born babies who were treated with TPN. The objective was to investigate...
An important property in a sensor network is the monitoring of temporal changes of hazardous situations such as forest fires. Rescue groups need to be aware of dynamic changes that affect their rescue efforts. In this paper, we discuss a sensor network model that provides a good abstraction of geometric and topological features of a dynamically changing sensing environment. This model enables efficient...
Smart antennas, with spatial processing, used in multirate code division multiple access (CDMA) systems can enhance range, reliability and capacity. In this paper, we propose three multirate methodologies, including variable processing gain, variable chip rate and multicode systems in adaptive antenna receiver structures for direct-sequence (DS) CDMA multiuser communications in multipath fading channels...
Technology innovation is one of important driving force to companies' market shares and the development of market structure. The information of technology innovation and its evolutional path can be explored by patent analysis. Therefore, for those firms which need large investment and highly business performance, such as interventional cardiology medical device ones, integrating patent information...
Inter-vehicular communications (IVCs) are now considered as a way to realize active safety, for example, by providing the position information of each other or the potential danger warning by wireless communications. We have worked on a flooding protocol over vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) to efficiently disseminate the information for the sake of active safety applications, such as the positions...
The paper presents a new application enabled by vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems; our target is to combine V2V with floating car data (FCD) systems and merge advantages of both: the V2V application warnings to enhance the FCD traffic information precision as well as the information availability; inversely, V2V communication can also benefit from the FCD system and offer some large-scale...
This paper proposes an energy efficient protocol for sensor data management. The protocol employs replicated data sinks to achieve (1) resiliency to data sink failure, and (2) efficiency in storing and retrieving sensor data. A simple address assignment scheme is introduced that partitions the sensor field into cells, where each cell contains one data sink and all sensors that are closest to this...
In order to compare brain-imaging measurements from different subjects, brain-mapping algorithms are commonly used to register individual brain onto a standardized brain atlas. In this study, SPM99 was used to linearly and nonlinearly coregister a spatially standardized T2-weighted template of C57BL/6J to the atlas by Paxinos and Franklin (2001), local accuracy of between atlas and template was evaluated,...
In this paper, we present an efficient and effective digital watermarking method for image tamper protection and recovery. Our method is efficient as it only uses simple operations such as parity check and the comparison between the average intensities. It is effective because the detection is hierarchically structured such that the accuracy of tamper localization can be ensured. That is, if a tampered...
