This paper reports on the design and implementation of multi-criteria vertical handoff decision algorithms in a heterogeneous wireless wide area network (WWAN) and a wireless local area network (WLAN) environment. An ...

This paper discusses vertical handover of disparate networks with emphasis on handover of Wireless LAN (WLAN) and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). The paper covers the issues involved in vertical handover and discusses ...

The use of non-destructive assessment techniques for evaluating structural conditions of aging infrastructure, such as timber bridges, utility poles and buildings, for the past 20 years has faced increasing challenges as ...

This paper examines the response reduction capabilities of a passive fluid damper device, known as the Liquid Column Vibration Absorber (LCVA), when attached to a five storey benchmark building structure requiring control. ...

In this paper, a hybrid classifier is introduced which combines a linear discriminant classifier and a nonlinear nonparametric neural network based classifier such as the Radial Basis Function Neural Networks. This ...

It has been reported that 53,000 stroke events annually with ongoing costs are nearly $500 million per year for physical therapy care. This paper aims to provide effective and active rehabilitation for patients suffering ...

This paper describes the synthesis and evaluation of a â¿¿virtual odometerâ¿ for a Quadrotor Micro Aerial Vehicle. Availability of a velocity estimate has the potential to enhance the accuracy of mapping, estimation and ...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most researched semiconductor oxides that has revolutionised technologies in the field of environmental purification and energy generation. It has found extensive applications in ...
