Active Wireless Sensing (AWS) is motivated by emerging advances in wireless technology and offers an alternative and complementary approach to in-network processing for rapid and energy-efficient information retrieval in wireless sensor networks. The basic architecture in AWS consists of: i) a wireless information retriever (WIR), equipped with an antenna array, that interrogates a select ensem...

The pathophysiology of alcohol withdrawal is complex and still not fully understood in spite of intensive research. The variety of different theories accounts for the fact that at least 150 different drugs and drug combinations have been reported to be useful in the treatment of the alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS; Walinder and Svenson, 1989).

BACKGROUND When encountering a difficult airway with an Airway Scope (AWS) a bougie can be inserted into the endotracheal tube in the AWS channel. The angulated tip of the bougie can be guided toward the glottis by rotating it. We tested the ease of rotating bougies (Venn reusable, Boussignac, Portex single-use, and Frova) in an endotracheal tube when placed in the AWS channel. METHODS Bench ...

Software developers are faced with the issue of either adapting their programming model to the execution model (e.g. cloud platforms) or finding appropriate tools to adapt the model and code automatically. A recent execution model which would benefit from automated enablement is Function-as-a-Service. Automating this process requires a pipeline which includes steps for code analysis, transforma...
