The area of human digital memories focuses on documenting our entire lifetime. Using this outlet, a diverse range of information can be brought together, such as photos, location, temperature and physiological information. Nowadays, we have access to a number of different data sources, thus allowing more dynamic and data rich memories to be created. In particular, the inclusion of physiological data...
Using body sensor networks (BodyNets) to monitoring the human health is increasingly emerging as a dominant application framework for the evolving sensor network technology. In this paper, we explore how to promote such network work in cold region. Different to the ordinary region, sensors not only need to collect sensory data of human characteristic but also accurately monitor the surround environment...
Due to environmental and contextual changes, it is often required to configure and re-configure sensor network services. The burden of programming a sensor network, as a consequence of these changes, can be alleviated with a plug-and-play approach that allows dynamic adaptation of sensor network services. In this paper, we briefly present a semantics-based methodology to avail self-configuration of...
Wireless sensor network is the core support technology in the framework of the Internet of Things. Environmental monitoring and devices control of intelligent building based on wireless sensor network is considered as one of the most crucial applications. It can perceive several environmental parameters and feedback control information to devices to provide more comfortable environment for people...
Bifunctional alkylating agent 1,3-Bis-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) is a significant anticancer drug in the clinical treatment of human malignancies. Several lines of evidences indicated that the cytotoxic activity of BCNU was related to their ability of inducing DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs). In the present work, the formation of the ICLs from the treatment of calf thymus DNA with BCNU...
Too narrow, the productivity-oriented vision guiding ubiquitous computing should be replaced or enriched with humanistic aspects. We discuss the role of Maslow's hierarchy of needs in the creation and adoption of smart spaces, robots and wearable computers worldwide to provide elements for alternative visions of ubiquity. We show that current ubiquitous systems are stratified at the lowest levels...
In this paper, we describe a model-based system for context discovery and behavior modeling for the purpose of monitoring well-being. In modeling behavior in a smart home, the system must detect atypical (anomalous) patterns of behavior resulting from failure of equipment as well as those deviations resulting from significant variations atypical of the human inhabitant. In the context of a smart home,...
Ubiquitous computing can significantly improve the general public's quality of life worldwide from birth to old age because it allows monitoring, awareness and support in many environments thanks to sensors, actuators, remote connections, and dedicated knowledge bases. However, ageing influences its usefulness and appropriateness due to growth and decline as well as changes in activities and uses...
The commandable ingestible temperature monitor (CITM) is based on a 262.252-kHz miniature quartz crystal that has a 9-Hz/ degrees C temperature coefficient. The capsule is 10.7 mm in diameter and 22.6-mm long. A 1.2-V nickel-cadmium cell provides over 100 hours operation in continuous monitoring, and more with intermittent interrogation. Recharging allows extended pill testing as desired and reuse...
