In this short paper, we present an architecture to deploy lightweight Semantic Sensor Networks easily based on widely available Android Devices. This approach essentially relies on deploying a SPARQL endpoint on the device, and federating queries to multiple devices to build Semantic Sensor Network applications.

Breast cancer is an increasingly important public health problem in developing countries, with disproportionately high mortality. The increasing availability of active agents against advanced breast cancer makes the development of novel treatments and their choice in clinical practice progressively more complex. Furthermore, there is often a tension between the adequacy of endpoints used in cli...

Operational problems with robot manipulators in space relate to several factors, most importantly, structural flexibility and subsequent difficulties with their position control. In this paper we present control methods for endpoint tracking of a 12 6 12 6 m2 trajectory by a two-link robot manipulator. Initially, a manipulator with rigid links is modeled using inverse dynamics, a linear quadrat...

conclusions according to the results of this study, this increase could be due to higher fuel consumption, usage of gasoline in vehicles, oil industry, and steel and heavy industries in ahwaz. the risk of mortality and morbidity were detected at the current concentrations of air pollutants. results according to the findings, the concentration of sulfur dioxide in ahvaz had an annual average of ...

A surrogate endpoint is an endpoint that is obtained sooner, at lower cost, or less invasively than the true endpoint for a health outcome and is used to make conclusions about the effect of intervention on the true endpoint. In this approach, each previous trial with surrogate and true endpoints contributes an estimated predicted effect of intervention on true endpoint in the trial of interest...

The goals of this study were to determine the degree to which subjects could voluntarily modulate static endpoint stiffness orientation and to quantify the effects of simultaneously generated voluntary endpoint forces on this ability. Static endpoint stiffness, which characterizes the relationship between externally imposed displacements of the hand and the elastic forces generated in response,...

We consider a clinical trial with a primary and a secondary endpoint where the secondary endpoint is tested only if the primary endpoint is significant. The trial uses a group sequential procedure with two stages. The familywise error rate (FWER) of falsely concluding significance on either endpoint is to be controlled at a nominal level α. The type I error rate for the primary endpoint is cont...
