Vasovagal syncope is preceded by prodromal symptoms in about two-thirds of cases [1]. Prodromal symptoms are present in virtually all cases of tilt-induced vasovagal syncope, which occurs, on average, 1 minute after the onset of the prodromal symptoms [2]. During the prodromal phase, blood pressure falls markedly; this fall usually precedes the decrease in heart rate, which may be absent at least...
Disease outbreak detection is an immensely beneficial yet a very delicate procedure. Its output can potentially provide immeasurable help and save countless lives in preventing further problems. Thus, the method must be as accurate and precise as possible. This paper discusses the Disease Outbreak Detection System, which is an online system developed to aid public health workers as they resolve this...
Modern technologies such as DNA microarray have been developed to study the transcriptome of cancer cells. It has been used in many studies for tumor classification and of identification of marker genes associated with cancer. However, this technique often suffers the ‘curse of dimensionality’. A general approach to overcome this setback is to perform feature selection technique prior to classification...
Huge advances in experimental techniques have resulted in increasing amounts of biological network data being made available. Different kinds metabolic networks are just some of these. Analyzing the network topology of these metabolic networks across taxa can uncover important biological information that is independent of other currently available biological information. This study explores topological...
Advances in both low-level and high-level fusion continue to be made at an increasingly accelerated pace. With the value of Information Fusion now being recognized as applicable to several domain problems, comes the need to develop a systematic and cohesive approach to address the Enterprise Multi-Level Fusion Lifecycle. It is no longer sufficient to advance fragmented capabilities without formal...
Petri net is a computational tool that is well-known in modeling various processes. Its formal semantics, graphical nature and expressiveness lend itself as a convenient model of computation for a wide-range of applications. On the other hand, Alloy is a declarative specification language used for expressing structural constraints and behavior in a software system. Alloy is heavily influenced by the...
Databases have been an integral component of Data Fusion from the outset when the JDL model was introduced. As advances in High-Level fusion using Multi-Int data have been made, the original concept of databases as a static repository of Level 0/1 content has evolved to support heterogeneous data, and as a necessary enabler of High-Level fusion processes. Relatively recent database technologies now...
Multi-Int Fusion Systems are complex due to the need to architect a solution that covers a broad domain space with diverse functional requirements. Consequently, some of these requirements can seem orthogonal, such as the need for real-time embedded processing for on-board platforms juxtaposed with large-scale enterprise systems comprising application servers, database farms, and service-oriented...
On-Board Processing (OBP) technology has been already in the satellite scene for almost two decades. It has been a difficult path and for a long time considered an added but expensive value brought to the satellite payload. Today, it is a commercial and competitive reality. In the case of Thales Alenia Space (TAS), a new generation of OBP solutions are available to satisfy the always more demanding...
The convergence between fixed and mobile network is the new paradigm in the world wide telecommunications network. Satellites are striving to become an important actor in the Next Generation Networks (NGN) by offering seamless integration with the terrestrial networks. Satellite systems can also provide the right complement in the convergence as one more access network that can cover vast regions...
This paper presents MEDNET's EC FP7 project telemedicine network solution and its validation performed during the integration and validation phase. This network solution runs over AmerHis broadband satellite multimedia commercial system, embarked over AMAZONAS1 satellite and owned by HISPASAT. During the integration and validation phase of the telemedicine network solution, different medical applications...
