A critical infrastructure (CI) consists of those physical and information technology facilities, networks, services and assets which, if disrupted or destroyed, have a serious impact on the health, safety, security or economic well-being of citizens or the effective functioning of governments. Nowadays, the operation controls of these infrastructures have been computerized and have gradually become...
Infrasound is ideally suited to provide essential information of these earthquakes without any invasive measures. This necessitates automatic processing of the data as the captured phenomena need to be sortedbefore further analysis can be undertaken. Extracting the physical characters of different signals by signal processing such as Fourier Transform and Wavelets Transform are generally employed...
A new optical platform for the interrogation of a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) multichannel array for chemical and biochemical parameters is described. It consists of a plastic chip formed by two pieces of PMMA properly shaped in order to obtain different microchannels, 500 mum in width and 400 mum in height. A fluorescent sensing layer is immobilized on the internal wall of the microchannel. The...
This is an introduction to the proceedings of the MWS 2007 workshop held at EDOC 2007. It first explains the motivation for and background of the workshop. Then, it contains a short description of the keynote, each long and short peer-reviewed paper, and the discussion session "impact of various execution environments on middleware for web services". After the closing statements, MWS 2007...
Optical communication systems based on dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) would benefit from the ability to adjust the operating wavelength of a laser transmitter. Previous attempts, including thermal adjustment, etalon based wavelength locking, and various types of optical frequency and phase locked loops such as the Pound-Drever-Hall technique suffer from weaknesses including sensitivity...
This study involved an evaluation of our V/Q system by five radiologists using forty-nine clinical data sets. The experts compared the quality of the registration and the color visualization methods. A Web-based user interface was developed to display color-enhanced images and to manipulate those images. The original gray scale image sets were also transformed to a green color table for ventilation...
