Hypoglycemia or low blood glucose is a common and serious side effect of insulin therapy in patients with diabetes. Hypoglycemia is unpleasant and can result in unconsciousness, seizures and even death. HypoMon is a realtime ...

This paper is concerned with the development of a real-time obstacle avoidance system for an autonomous wheelchair using stereoscopic cameras by severely disabled people. Based on the left and right images captured ...

A new real time stability constraint for model predictive control is developed in this paper. Motivated by the dissipative system theory, the proposed stability condition is based on the controller trajectory and can be ...

In this paper, we propose a new method to recognize gestures of cartoon images with two practical applications, i.e., content-based cartoon image retrieval and interactive cartoon clip synthesis. Upon analyzing the unique ...

This paper presents an approach to reconstruct internal combustion engine cylinder pressure from the engine cylinder head vibration signals, using radial basis function (RBF) networks. The relationship between the cylinder ...

In this study we compare fish diversity and abundances in the impacted region of the FR, with sites unexposed to elevated water concentrations of contaminants, both before and after remediation. Our results show both the ...

Using an integrated-ray approach an expression for the transmission of rectangular section mirror light pipe (MLP) has been derived for the case of collimated light input. The transmittance and the irradiance distribution ...

The highly strengthened treatment and disposal of excess sludge based on economic and environmental regulation factors is one of the important issues to be dealt with in the activated sludge process. In this study, the ...

A new technique is proposed that offers significant reduction of multiple access interference (MAI) encountered in asynchronous multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CD MA) detection. Using a dual frequency switching ...

Macrophages detect pathogens via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which trigger several intracellular signaling cascades including the MAPK and NFkB pathways. These in turn mediate the up-regulation of pro-inflammatory ...
