The use of efficient signal processing tools (SPTs) to extract proper indices for the fault detection in induction motors (IMs) is the essential part of any fault recognition procedure. The 2nd part of this two-part paper is, in turn, divided into two parts. Part two covers the signal processing techniques which can be applied to non-stationary conditions. In this paper, all utilized SPTs for n...

QoS management is nowadays a mandatory feature in current broadband residential gateways developments. The interconnection between different QoS domains has to be treated into different steps in order to provide a reliable end-to-end QoS solution. The scenario analyzed in this paper is the mapping between QoS requirements in residential users connected to a broadband access network across a mul...

The next generation of scripting languages for creating value-added services in converged networks will be based upon XML. Industry fora like Parlay, JAIN and OSA have developed open standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to enable service creation in converged Next Generation Networks (NGN). While services can be developed in traditional programming languages (e.g. Java or C++) usi...

The Universal Mobile Telecommunication Standard (UMTS) is continuously evolving to meet the growing demand of modern mobile and Internet applications for high capacity and advanced features in security and quality of service. Although admittedly enhanced in terms of security when compared to 2G systems, UMTS still has weaknesses that can lead to security incidents. In this paper we investigate ...

Next Generation Networks (NGN) provide Telecommunications operators with the possibility to share their resources and infrastructure, facilítate the interoperability with other networks, and simplify and unify the management, operation and maintenance of service offerings, thus enabling the fast and cost-effective creation of new personal, broadband ubiquitous services. Unfortunately, service c...

In this paper, we propose a set of dimensioning rules, which deliver high quality session-based services over an NGN networks based IP/MPLS transport infrastructure. In particular, we develop a detailed dimensioning methodology for achieving a target QoS requirement, expressed in terms of per-service traffic flow throughput and delay. One of the benefits of the proposed methodology lies in outl...

Methods PSG developed an IAENS in February 2014. After its approval by Hospital Ethical and Clinical Security Committees it was implemented in the PCSU on April as first essay before its generalization to the whole IMS. IAENS consists in a voluntary and anonymous report of adverse events (AE) in paper form by IMS staff and related healthcare professionals. A prospective study of reported AE was...

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...

This half day workshop will provide an overview of the Packet Core Network evolution starting with the introduction of global fixed and mobile next generation network standards and outlining its evolution in regard to the emerging Future Internet, which is driven by international research programmes, such as GENI in the US, FIRE in Europe and Akari in Japan. The main focus will be on the networ...
