Rapid bacterial identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility tests (AST) can have a significant impact on the management of infections, especially those caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria (1, 2, 5). However, these rapid automated methods do not overcome the need for the preparation of a suspension of the organism at a fixed density (0.5 to 0.6 McFarland standard [MF]; 1.5 10 CFU/ml...

This report is written as part of the course TDDC03 Information Security at Linköping Institute of Technology. It aims to give an introduction to RFID, point out the current and future uses of the technology and to evaluate and discuss the technology from a perspective of information security and privacy with focus on new arising concerns.

This paper presents an ensemble system combining the output of multiple SVM classifiers to native language identification (NLI). The system was submitted to the NLI Shared Task 2017 fusion track which featured students essays and spoken responses in form of audio transcriptions and iVectors by non-native English speakers of eleven native languages. Our system competed in the challenge under the...

This book presents various security aspects in RFID and sensor networks. Each chapter represents a self-sufficient, independent paper, and the topics are not formally bound together by means of e.g. an introduction or an overview of the debated topics. The editors have chosen and arranged the discussed topics in such a way, however, as to give a good overview of the security challenges in resou...

RFID-based public transport ticketing systems rely on widespread networks of RFID readers that locate the user within the transport network in real time to be able to verify whether he can travel at that time with the ticket he holds. This paper presents a system that uses that same RFID-based location information to give the user navigation indications depending on his current location, provid...

The significance of tracking in operations management has been overshadowed, theoretically by the concept of supply chain visibility, and practically by the attention grabbing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. This paper describes how uses of tracking for operations management, specifically, to improve the management of project and service supply chains, were explored and develo...
