A 1 GHz, DDR2/3 SSTL driver with On-Die Termination, strength calibration and slew rate control
(2012)A 1 GHz Double Data Rate 2/3 (DRR2/3) combo Stub Series Terminated Logic (SSTL) driven has been developed for the first time to our knowledge using a 90 nm CMOS process. To satisfy the signal integrity requirements the ... -
ADVANCED CLASSIFICATION AND RULES-BASED EVALUATION OF MOTION, VISUAL AND BIOSIGNAL DATA FOR PATIENT FALL INCIDENT DETECTION
(2010)The monitoring of human physiological data, in both normal and abnormal situations of activity, is interesting for the purpose of emergency event detection, especially in the case of elderly people living on their own. ... -
A Collaborative Biomedical Image-Mining Framework: Application on the Image Analysis of Microscopic Kidney Biopsies
(2013)The analysis and characterization of biomedical image data is a complex procedure involving several processing phases, such as data acquisition, preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. The ... -
A dissipative particle dynamics study of flow in periodically grooved nanochannels
(2012)The effect of periodic rectangular wall roughness on planar nanochannel flow is investigated by dissipative particle dynamics simulation. The wall protrusion length is varied, and its effect on the flow is examined. Analysis ... -
Edge betweenness centrality: A novel algorithm for QoS-based topology control over wireless sensor networks
(2012)In this paper we propose a novel topology-control algorithm, called edge betweenness centrality (EBC). EBC is based on the concept of betweenness centrality, which has been first introduced in the context of social network ... -
Emergency Fall Incidents Detection in Assisted Living Environments Utilizing Motion, Sound, and Visual Perceptual Components
(2011)This paper presents the implementation details of a patient status awareness enabling human activity interpretation and emergency detection in cases, where the personal health is threatened like elder falls or patient ... -
Enabling Location Privacy and Medical Data Encryption in Patient Telemonitoring Systems
(2009)Patient telemonitoring systems (PTS) deal with the acquisition, processing, and secure transmission of a patient's physiological and physical parameters to a remote location, where expert medical knowledge is available. ... -
EXACT KNOWLEDGE HIDING IN TRANSACTIONAL DATABASES
(2009)The hiding of sensitive knowledge in the form of frequent itemsets, has gained increasing attention over the past years. This paper highlights the process of border revision, which is essential for the identification of ... -
Exploring spatial data through computational intelligence: a joint perspective
(2005)The dramatic increase in geospatial data occasioned by developments in digital mapping, remote sensing, IT, and widespread generalization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), emphasises the importance of exploring new ... -
Fuzzy cognitive map based approach for predicting yield in cotton crop production as a basis for decision support system in precision agriculture application
(2011)This work investigates the process of yield prediction in cotton crop production using the soft computing technique of fuzzy cognitive maps. Fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) is a fusion of fuzzy logic and cognitive map theories, ... -
Granular neural networks for land use classification
(2005)Granulation of information is a new way to describe the increased complexity of natural phenomena. The lack of clear borders in nature calls for a more efficient way to process such data. Land use both in general but also ... -
GRISSOM Platform: Enabling Distributed Processing and Management of Biological Data Through Fusion of Grid and Web Technologies
(2011)Transcriptomic technologies have a critical impact in the revolutionary changes that reshape biological research. Through the recruitment of novel high-throughput instrumentation and advanced computational methodologies, ... -
Hardware-friendly Higher-Order Neural Network Training using Distributed Evolutionary Algorithms
(2010)In this paper, we study the class of Higher-Order Neural Networks and especially the Pi-Sigma Networks. The performance of Pi-Sigma Networks is evaluated through several well known Neural Network Training benchmarks. In ... -
Lifespan and propagation of information in On-line Social Networks: A case study based on Reddit
(2015)Since 1950, information flows have been in the center of scientific research. Up until the Internet penetration in the late 1990s, these information flow studies were based on traditional offline social networks. From the ... -
Normative conflicts in electronic contracts
(2011)We are concerned with normative conflicts that arise for agents engaging in electronic contracting within an electronic marketplace. We identify a set of primitive conflict patterns, examine other analyses of conflicts ... -
Overview of Advanced Computer Vision Systems for Skin Lesions Characterization
(2009)During the last years, computer-vision-based diagnosis systems have been used in several hospitals and dermatology clinics, aiming mostly at the early detection of skin cancer, and more specifically, the recognition of ... -
