The Internet of Things (IoT), often referred as the future Internet; is a collection of interconnected devices integrated into the world-wide network that covers almost everything and could be available anywhere. IoT is an emerging technology and aims to play an important role in saving money, conserving energy, eliminating gap and better monitoring for intensive management on a routine basis. ...

UV astronomy has a promising long-term future if astronomers think boldly about where the next frontiers lie in this rich field. The most exciting of these frontiers involve resolving structures near or below angular scales of 20 mas and/or obtaining modest resolution spectroscopy of nanoJansky sources across the 0.11− 2.5 μm wavelength range (the optical and NIR bands provide rest-UV coverage ...

The MiWaveS (Beyond 2020 heterogeneous wireless network with Millimetre Wave Small cell access and backhauling) project aims to contribute some key aspects to the ongoing definition of 5G, i.e. the next generation of wireless telecommunications [2]. Specifically, it will show how high-throughput and low-latency heterogeneous mobile networks, based on flexible spectrum usage of the millimetre wa...

Streaming of digital media makes 70% of internet traffic, and is projected to reach 80% by 2020 (CIS, 2015). However, it has been challenging for existing commercial compression algorithms to adapt to the growing demand and the changing landscape of requirements and applications. While digital media are transmitted in a wide variety of settings, the available codecs are “one-size-fits-all”: the...

Currently there are 28 approved antiretroviral drugs in six mechanistic classes, and recommended first-line regimens are highly potent, well tolerated, and as convenient as one pill, once-a-day. How will HIV treatment change by 2020? Over the next few years, we are likely to see potent 2-drug regimens tested head-to-head with standard three-drug regimens, and some of these will likely become st...
