The concept of “Smart Systems” is becoming pervasive, from smart homes to autonomous vehicles to smart grids and cities, and beyond. These advances are driven by small, embedded, and high-powered computing systems which interconnect using rapidly-advancing technologies, and which produce ever-increasing amounts of data. Although the “Internet of Things” may produce useful applications and new d...

With the introduction of smart grid technology, the electricity market paradigm is transformed into consumers-oriented from suppliers-oriented. Thus, a study on diffusion of smart grid in perspective of users is necessary. This research examines factors affecting the adoption and diffusion of smart grid technology from user’s perspective and provides strategic guidelines of diffusing smart grid...

Frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the microtubule-associated protein, tau. Some FTDP-17 mutations affect exon 10 splicing. To correct aberrant exon 10 splicing while retaining endogenous transcriptional control, we evaluated the feasibility of using spliceosome-mediated RNA trans-splicing (SMaRT) to reprogram ...

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is associated with a reciprocal and balanced translocation involving the retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RARalpha). All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is used to treat APL and is a potent morphogen that regulates HOX gene expression in embryogenesis and organogenesis. HOX genes are also involved in hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis. Thirty-nine mammalian HOX genes ha...

Recent outbreaks like Zika and Ebola highlights the challenges associated with pathogen diagnostics in the developing world. With the outbreak in Africa, and isolated cases on other continents, the need for an affordable, rapid and portable diagnostic solution has been repeatedly stressed and is one of the most critical issues confronting global health. Unfortunately, the current conventional P...

Recently many significant improvements have been done in traditionally power system. But still a lot of work is needed in traditional power system to mend many challenges. We propose formal method based on subnet model for smart power system. Formal method is mathematics based technique that is used to develop, specify and verify model in a systematic manner. It involve components i.e., power p...

The next generation wearable devices are Smart health monitoring device and Smart sousveillance hat which are capable of using wearable sensors for measuring physiological information, sousveillanace, navigation, as well as smart device to smart device communications over cellular coverage. Smart health monitoring device collect and observe different health related information deploying biosens...

With the world’s science and technology becoming more and more mature and perfect, as well as the environment of supporting policy optimized and application prospects become more extensive, new terms, such as, smart earth, smart city, smart scenic spots, smart hotels, smart services, and smart marketing process have swept the world. The era of smart travel has arrived. However, it must be reali...

The predominant smart card ownership model is the issuer centric, and it has played a vital role in the proliferation of the technology. However, recent developments of multi-application smart card technology lead to new potential ownership models. One of the possible models is the User Centric Smart Card Ownership Model. In this model, the ownership is with smart card users. To support user’s ...
