Video transmission over wireless computer networks is increasingly popular as new applications emerge and wireless networks become more widespread and reliable. An ability to quantify the quality of a video transmitted using a wireless computer netwo...

Comorbidities can have a cumulative effect on hospital outcomes of care, such as the length of stay (LOS), and hospital mortality. This study examines patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure (CHF), a life-threatening condition, which, whe...

Active filter design is a mature topic that provides good solutions that can be implemented using discrete devices or integrated circuit technology. For instance, when the filter topologies are implemented using commercially available operational amp...

In the age of digitalization, the collection and analysis of large amounts of data is becoming increasingly important for enterprises to improve their businesses and processes, such as the introduction of new services or the realization of resource-e...

Cryogenic machining is a relatively new technique in machining. This concept was applied on various machining processes such as turning, milling, drilling etc. Cryogenic turning technique is generally applied on three major groups of workpiece materi...

A process vacuum chamber is filled with a homogeneous plasma of glow discharge with electrostatic electron confinement, which is used for surface hardening of massive products. At the current of 2–20 A and the gas pressure ranging from 0.1 to 1 Pa th...

GVNS, which stands for General Variable Neighborhood Search, is an established and commonly used metaheuristic for the expeditious solution of optimization problems that belong to the NP-hard class. This paper introduces an expansion of the standard...

The design and implementation of an asymmetrical Doherty power amplifier are discussed, where two Cree GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) devices are used for designing an asymmetrical Doherty power amplifier to achieve saturated power of...

Ageing is a global phenomenon which is pushing the scientific community forward the development of innovative solutions in the context of Active and Assisted Living (AAL). Among functionality to be implemented, a major role is covered by falls and hu...

Objectives: The study reported in this article aimed to identify: (i) the most relevant applications supported by smart city infrastructure with an impact on the provision of healthcare; (ii) the types of technologies being used; (iii) the maturity l...

Additive manufacturing of polymer products over the past decade has become widespread in various areas of industry. Using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) method, one of the most technologically simple methods of additive manufacturing, it is pos...

The convention for the safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) by UNESCO highlights the equal importance of intangible elements of cultural heritage to tangible ones. One of the most important domains of ICH is folkloric dances. A dance ch...

The inability of ceramic and nanoceramic processing without expensive diamond tools and with a high-material-removal rate hampers the scope of its potential applications and does not allow humanity to make a full shift to the sixth technological para...

This study presents a cellular automata (CA) model to assist decision-makers in understanding the effects of infrastructure development projects on adverse events in an active war theater. The adverse events are caused by terrorist activities that pr...

For stress-strain response simulations and damage prediction of cyclically loaded mechanical components, it is crucial to determine both the stress-strain and durability curves of the materials sued. Round and flat specimens can be used for this purp...

Electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) devices were fabricated using two hydrophobic organic fluoropolymers, comprising CYTOP (a product name) having different chemical structures only at the terminal functional groups. These devices were subsequently c...

With robots becoming closer to humans in recent years, human-friendly robots made of soft materials provide a new line of research interests. We designed and developed a soft robot that can move via self-deformation toward the practical application o...

Seamless location awareness is considered a cornerstone in the successful deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT). Support for IoT devices in indoor positioning platforms and, vice versa, availability of indoor positioning functions in IoT platfor...

The development of magnetic photonic crystals (MPC) has been a rapidly evolving research area since the late 1990s. Magneto-optic (MO) materials and the techniques for their characterization have also continually undergone functional and property-rel...

Formaldehyde is utilized for the preservation of materials due to its strong bactericidal effects. As formaldehyde is also a harmful substance that causes health hazards, the quantitative monitoring of formaldehyde in natural and living environments...

In this paper, a new learning tool is proposed to train professional figures, such as entrepreneurs, engineers, and technicians, who need to improve their skills in the field of Internet of Energy. The proposed tool aims to cover the lack of experime...
