This article presents a framework which enables end users to create small, sharply focused mobile services directly on a mobile device. By this, end users are no longer only consumers of mobile services – they also become producers and providers of mobile services. The domain of mobile health and fitness applications has been chosen to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach. The article pr...

Mobile computing and communication develops into an important factor in business, but it is accompanied with new security threats. The main problem lies on the one hand in the heterogeneity, dynamics and scarcity of the resources and on the other hand in the additional information like user location. In this paper, we investigate some issues concerning security of mobile computing systems, whic...

Background Mobile health is one of the new technologies for the utilization of health information. For its successful implementation as well as any other system, we must primarily measure the adoption and use of its factors. The purpose of this study was to systematically investigate published articles about the factors affecting the adoption of mobile health and categorizing the factors affect...

mri workers are occupationally exposed to static and time-varying gradient magnetic fields.  while the 24-hour time-averaged exposure to static magnetic fields is about a few mt, the maximum static field strength can be as high as 500 mt during patient set up. over the past several years, our lab has performed extensive experiments on the health effects of exposure of animal models and humans t...
