B3G is an emerging network technology which conceives the convergence of telecommunication and IP-based networks for providing enhanced services able to transfer both voice and non-voice data through wired and wireless networks. Moreover, B3G networks can be no longer considered as “passive” entities which only transport data between endpoints, but they must be considered as “active” parties th...

This paper presents our results in the field of Model Driven Design (MDD) gained in dependable, distributed application development communicating over ad-hoc mobile networks. The context of the discussion is the Highly Dependable IP-based Networks and Services (Hidenets) research project. Our efforts involve (i) construction of the platform’s UML model, (ii) construction of a metamodel illustra...

Very high resolution (R ∼ 160000) absorption line measurements of the interstellar Ca ii K and Na i D lines and medium resolution (R ∼ 50000) measurements of the interstellar Ti ii (3384 Å) line towards three Galactic halo stars are presented. The data have signal-to-noise ratios of ∼ 90–240. The sightlines studied clearly show several intermediate-high velocity interstellar clouds with local s...

Adolescence is a unique period of heightened emotional arousal and still-developing regulatory abilities. Adolescent emotion regulation patterns may be critically involved in adolescents' psychosocial development, but patterns of emotion regulation in youths are not well understood. The current study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to elucidate patterns of emotion expression, experience, and...

Objective: Magnetic fluid hyperthermia is a technique in which thermal energy is generated by magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) that are excited by an alternating magnetic field (AC field). During hyperthermia, in-vivo monitoring of elevation of temperature relies on invasive insertion of conventional thermometers, or employment of thermo-sensitive cameras that lack high precision....
