Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are one of the most important users of wireless communication technologies in the coming years and some challenges in this areamust be addressed for their complete development. Energy consumption and spectrum availability are two of the most severe constraints of WSNs due to their intrinsic nature. The introduction of cognitive capabilities into these networks ha...

The basal ganglia system has been proposed as a possible neural substrate for action selection in the vertebrate brain. We describe a robotic implementation of a model of the basal ganglia and demonstrate the capacity of this system to generate adaptive switching between several acts when embedded in a robot that has to "survive" in a laboratory environment. A comparison between this brain-insp...

background: cuffed pharyngeal tube is a device designed for ventilation of anesthetized patients. cpt has advantages over face mask including: maintaining of face mask can be difficult and boring after several minutes and mobility of the practitioner is reduced due to involvement of hands. mask pressure can cause soft tissue and nerve damage around the nose. anesthetic gas leakage from the mask...

Human interpersonal face-to-face interaction can be considered in terms of successions of speech acts. These are utterances which contain an intention, and the act of creating an utterance causes the intention to be directed toward the recipient. In this study the language contained in emails is considered in a similar manner. Due to the relatively asynchronous nature of email communication, co...

This paper introduces an extendable cross-platform software framework Julius for medical visualization and surgical planning, consisting of two conceptual layers: the Julius Software Development Kit (JSDK) and the Julius Graphical User Interface (JGUI). The JSDK can be used stand-alone to speed up development of research tools. While the JGUI acts like a frontend for the JSDK and offers easy ha...

Deceased-donor liver transplantation (DDLT) is an effective life-saving treatment for liver failure and small unresectable hepatocellular carcinomas, but is hindered by the limited supply of liver grafts, particularly in Asia.1 Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has emerged swiftly as the alternative.2 Technical breakthroughs in liver transplantation are often widely covered by the mass ...

this study examined naturally-occurring university classroom interactions at iranian universities and provided an analysis of silence patterns as politeness strategies used by male and female students. since empirical studies of silence in classroom settings are scarce, this paper aimed to explain such phenomena using participant interviews, classroom observation and detailed discourse analysis...

Caregivers of older adults with dementia face significant challenges associated with their care recipients' condition and with their own mental and physical well-being. Qualitative research data were collected via interviews with caregivers who participated in the African-American Alzheimer's Caregiver Training and Support (ACTS) research project. Analysis of these data with a focus on informat...
