چکیده
The following individuals read and discussed the thesis submitted by student Michael L. Pook, and they evaluated his presentation and response to questions during the final oral examination. They found that the student passed the final oral examination. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Sin Ming Loo for his guidance and support throughout this process and my academic career. I truly appreciate all that he has done for me as a mentor and advisor. I would like to offer special thanks to Derek Klein for his considerable assistance with the troubleshooting process and the selection of sensors. In addition, I would like to offer further thanks to Josh Kiepert for providing a substantial portion of the computer interface code and offering his technical expertise during each stage of this research. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for their love and support. I am especially grateful to my parents for their support and for easing my burden in every way they could. I also appreciate Vikram Patel's assistance in testing my prototypes and generally keeping up my morale.

Design of a Wireless Sensor Network Platform for Tele-Homecare
The problem of an ageing population has become serious in the past few years as the degeneration of various physiological functions has resulted in distinct chronic diseases in the elderly. Most elderly are not willing to leave home for healthcare centers, but caring for patients at home eats up caregiver resources, and can overwhelm patients' families. Besides, a lot of chronic disease symptom...

In this research, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were synthesized by low cost hydrothermal method. The grown ZnO nanostructures had a dispersed distribution with nanowire morphology and the specific surface area of about 7 m2.gr-1 which they have crystalized in hexagonal wurtzite structure. ZnO nanowires/polyvinyl alcohol network (ZP) on the epoxy glass substrate with cu-interdigited electrods...
متن کاملEfficient Node Placement for Congestion Control in Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor nodes are small, embedded computing devices that interface with sensors/ actuators and communicate using short-range wireless transmitters. Such nodes act autonomously, but cooperatively to form a logical network, in which data packets are routed hop-by-hop towards management nodes, typically called sinks or base stations. A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises of a potential...

The 2017 Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded the biological clock Scientist, which shows the importance of this phenomenon in the life of living organisms. The circadian Rhythm (CR) through the created internal “clock” is responsible for regulating the daily performance of different organs of the body. The central body clock is the key factor to creating and maintaining this CR. External optic...
