In this study, a rapid, simple and sensitive ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) method with corona discharge as ionization source was described for the morphine determination in human urine. Morphine was extracted and purified from urine samples using solid phase extraction procedure with C18 column. It can offer the clean extracts which no extra peaks were observed in IMS. Under operating experim...

We propose a code acquisition scheme called improved multiple-shift (IMS) for optical code division multiple access systems, where the optical orthogonal code is used instead of the pseudo noise code. Although the IMS algorithm has a similar process to that of the conventional MS algorithm, it has a better code acquisition performance than the conventional MS algorithm. We analyze the code acqu...

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) plays as a core platform in next-generation-network architecture, which advocates for an open and inter-operable service infrastructure. However, over the years, not much attention has been paid to the security problem of IMS. The time has come to now address security issues. This paper proposes a multi-attribute stereo model based on X.805 standard, which addresse...

aLFanet (IST-2001-33288) aims to build an adaptive iLMS (intelligent Learning Management System) that provides personalised eLearning based on the combination of different types of adaptation (e.g. learning routes, interactions in services, peer-to-peer collaboration, presentation). It integrates new principles and tools in the fields of Learning Design and Artificial Intelligence, following ex...

Nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) is a FDA approved biomarker for bladder cancer. The objective of this study is to develop a simple NMP22 immumosensor (NMP22-IMS) for accurate measurement of NMP22. The NMP22-IMS was constructed with NMP22 antibody immobilized on screen-printed carbon electrodes. The construction procedures and antibody immobilization are simple. Results showed that the NMP22-I...

The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) has been developed to provide a single platform that offers many different converged services, over multiple access technologies, with several different end user terminals. It aims to unify the current disjoint point solutions offered by network operators, with the goal of reducing CAP-EX (Capital Expenditure), OP-EX (Operating Expenditure) as well as reducing ...

Instant messengers (IMs) have become a very popular and convenient tool for communication. Having started with simple presence protocols, IMs now support exchange of text, sound, video, even game playing. Tons of information are being daily exchanged through IMs. Still, it seems that IMs favor functionality over security. Most popular IMs (MSN, Yahoo! messenger, ICQ etc...) send data as plainte...

Multidimensional ion mobility spectrometry techniques (IMS-IMS and IMS-IMS-IMS) combined with mass spectrometry are used to study structural transitions of ubiquitin ions in the gas phase. It is possible to select and activate narrow distributions of compact and partially folded conformation types and examine new distributions of structures that are formed. Different compact conformations unfol...

Learners have different learning styles, background knowledge, interests and alternative evolution of their learning over time, which makes ineffective offering the same packaged course to each learner. Learning should be a user-centred process focused on learning activities adapted to learner’s needs and preferences. However, authoring of adaptive courses traditionally requires massive customi...

Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) has been specified as a standard method for the measurement of Giardia under USEPA Method 1623. In this study, IMS was evaluated on the basis of recovery efficiencies for Giardia cysts under various IMS operation conditions. Significant change in recovery was observed by altering the debris ratio of water samples. Notably, cyst recovery efficiencies utilizing IMS...
