Structural control and health monitoring as condition are some essential areas that allow for different system parameters to be designed, supervised, controlled, evaluated during the system’s operation in processes, such those used machinery, structures, physical variables mechanical, chemical, electrical, aeronautical, civil, electronics, mechatronics, agricultural engineering applications, am...

Recently, a variety of wireless structural health monitoring systems have been demonstrated as viable substitutes for traditional high-cost tethered monitoring systems. In this study, a prototype wireless sensing system is deployed on the Voigt Bridge (La Jolla, CA) and a historical theatre (Detroit, MI) to validate its performance against cabled monitoring systems. Acceleration time history re...

BACKGROUND Health care professionals (HCPs) routinely review handwritten blood glucose (BG) logbooks during office visits of patients with diabetes. METHOD In this study, 64 HCPs were asked to assess glycemic patterns and estimate BG averages in six simulated handwritten logbooks. The HCPs then reviewed the pattern logs and averages in six OneTouch® Verio™IQ meters containing corresponding da...

There have been many calls for community participation in MRV (measuring, reporting, verification) for REDD+. This paper examines whether community involvement in MRV is a requirement, why it appears desirable to REDD+ agencies and external actors, and under what conditions communities might be interested in participating. It asks What's in it for communities? What might communities gain from s...
