While the Internet is continuously growing and unavoidable moving towards an ubiquitous internetworking technology, ranging from casual data exchange, home entertainment, security, military, healthcare, transportation, and business applications, to the Internet of Things (IoT) where anything can communicate anywhere, anytime, there is an increasing and urgent need to define global standards for future Internet arc Read More

A fundamental component of improving health care quality is to include the patient as a participant in achieving their health goals and making decisions about their care. While many may see clinical information systems as a way to improve communication and track health information for clinicians, the role played by personal health records (PHRs) should not be overlooked in developing a modernized Integrated Health Ma Read More

Wireless communications and sensing have become an indispensable part of our daily lives from communications, public service and safety, consumer, industry, sports, gaming and entertainment, asset and inventory management, banking to government and military operations. As communications and sensing are poised to address challenging problems to make our lives even better under environments that can po Read More

It is widely known that the state of a patient's coronary heart disease can be better assessed using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) than with more conventional angiography. Recent work has shown that segmentation and 3D reconstruction of IVUS pull-back sequence images can be used for computational fluid dynamic simulation of blood flow through the coronary arteries. This map of shear stress in the blood vessel walls ca Read More

The explosive demand for mobile data, predicted to reach a 25 to 50 times increase by 2015, along with expensive data roaming charges, and user expectation to remain continuously connected, are all creating novel challenges for service providers and researchers. A potential approach for solving these problems, is exploiting all communication interfaces available on modern mobile devices in both solitary and collaborative Read More

Machine Translation (MT) which has been championed as an effective technology for knowledge transfer from English to languages with less digital content. An example of such efforts is the automatic translation of English Wikipedia to languages with smaller collections, such as Arabic. However, MT quality is still far from ideal for many of the languages and text genres. While translating a document, many sentences are Read More

Silicon-based Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) hardware is the backbone of advanced wireless communication and sensing systems, enabling low-cost, small-size, and high-performance single-chip solution. Advanced RF wireless systems and in turn, silicon RFICs, are relevant not only to commercial and military applications, but also to national infrastructures. This importance is even more pronounced as the devel Read More

Smart phones are becoming dominant handsets that are available to wireless technology users. Wireless access to internet is also becoming the default scenario with vast majority of internet users. The increasing demand for high speed wireless internet services makes current technologies meet their limit due to channel impairments. The conventional adaptive modulation technique (CAMT) is no longer helpful due to high da Read More

Abstract Objectives in this research is to increase the accuracy of the distinction between functions of various Kulaip through a careful analysis of brain electrical signals and electrical signals are out of the brain and can be received from sensors, especially in plants and solid enlarge and stored. It is characteristic of brain signals Abbaas Electrical signals are weak force and the Pacific area affected by humans, so it is also l Read More

Concurrent multiband receivers receive and process multiple frequency bands simultaneously. They are thus capable of providing multitask or multifunction to meet consumer needs in modern wireless communications. Concurrent multiband receivers require at least some of their components to operate concurrently at different frequency bands which results in substantial reduction of cost and power dissipation. Fi Read More
