Recently, the Internet of Things (IoT) has attracted wide attention from many fields, especially healthcare, because its large capacities for information perception and collection. In this paper, we present an IoT-based home telehealth system providing smart healthcare management individuals, older people. Each client node is mainly composed electronic water meter that records user’s daily usag...

The hydrodynamic studies of fluidized bed reactor has been reported in terms of pressure drop, minimum fluidization velocity and bed volume expansion to contribute to the optimization of the CNTs production parameters in fluidized bed reactors. Minimum fluidization velocity and pressure drop, as the most important parameters, were taken into account for the investigation of the hydrodynamic beh...

this paper argues for a broader emphasis on sustainable security and smart power, for examining both opportunities as well as threats to security. sustainable security is a new concept in the security studies. deep attention to all possible threats against human life is necessary for continuation of security in a sustainable and dynamic base. this aim can be achieved in a highest level by mergi...

knowledge of airflow resistance is an important consideration in designing an appro-priate ventilation system and for proper fan selection. an airflow resistance device was designed and fabricated to measure the airflow resistance of potatoes. the device the composed of an air compressor, a rotameter, a cylindrical bin to contain the potatoes and an inclined u-tube manometer. airflow resistance...

The bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., like other bed bug species, is difficult to visually locate because it is cryptic. Detector dogs are useful for locating bed bugs because they use olfaction rather than vision. Dogs were trained to detect the bed bug (as few as one adult male or female) and viable bed bug eggs (five, collected 5-6 d after feeding) by using a modified food and verbal reward sys...

Wall-to-bed (or wall-to-fluid) heat transfer issues in trickle bed reactors (TBR) has an important impact on operation and efficiency in this category of reactors. In this study, the hydrodynamic and thermal behavior of trickle bed reactors was simulated by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. The multiphase behavior of trickle bed reactor was studied by the implementation of ...

Bed bugs appear to be feared more than vector insects and other household pests. The reasons for this exaggerated fear are not fully understood. One hypothesis is that the folk knowledge on recognising and controlling bed bugs decreased as bed bugs became rarer in the 1960s and led to irrational perceptions. Here, we examine people's ability to recognise a bed bug and their response what to do ...

The smart water infrastructures laboratory is a research facility at Aalborg University, Denmark. enables experimental in control and management of realistic environment. designed as modular system that can be configured to adapt the test-bed desired network. recreated this are district heating, drinking supply, waste collection systems. This paper focuses on first two types infrastructure. In ...
