Feasibility of air quality monitoring systems based on environmental energy harvesting
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Capillary wireless sensor networks dedicated to air quality monitoring have provided essential information on hazardous air condition, generating early warnings to prevent danger situation for human health. The arising ...
Outage performance of multi-hop hybrid FSO/RF communication systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, five scenarios are considered for the realization of a multi-hop hybrid free-space optical/radio frequency (FSO/RF) communication system with decode-and-forward (DF) relaying, and analytical outage probability ...
Real-time DWT-based compression for wearable Electrocardiogram monitoring system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Compression of Electrocardiogram signal is important for digital Holters recording, signal archiving, transmission over communication channels and Telemedicine. This paper introduces an effective real-time compression ...
Evaluation of FSO link throughput in Qatar
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Despite the vibrant advantages of Free Space Optics (FSO) technology and the variety of its applications, its widespread adoption has been hampered by rather disappointing link reliability for long-range links due to ...
Rheological characterization of NA2CO3 activated calcium bentonite for oil and gas drilling applications
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Calcium bentonite was activated with soda ash (Na2CO3) at various ratios and due to the ion exchange; the original Ca-bentonite was converted to Na-bentonite. It was found that the Na2CO3 activation improves the swelling ...
Nanosilver loaded GelMA hydrogel for antimicrobial coating of biomedical implants
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Bacterial adhesion to the surface of implants in surgical procedures represents a major problem in surgeries, as it incurs high medical costs and could lead to postoperative infections. Different strategies have been ...
Experimental studies and computer modeling of viscoelastic properties of heart valve leaflets: Implication in heart valve tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Diseased or damaged heart valve leaflets are amongst the major causes of illness and death globally. The currently available treatment of heart valve patients is to mend the damaged valves, but in most severe cases, heart ...
Electrospun PET-PU scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is projected to continuously increase in the coming decades, with a colossal associated cost of treatment. In the US alone, 83.6 million people are estimated to have one or ...
Effect of bone density on the compressive mechanical properties of bovine trabecular bone
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The density of bone is subject to change due to natural causes or bone abnormalities and disorders such as osteopenia, osteomalacia and osteoporosis. One of the most concerning attributes of osteoporosis is its non-expressive ...
Culture of PC12 neuronal cells in GelMA hydrogel for brain tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Restoration of brain functions following trauma or degenerative neural diseases is considered among the greatest challenges in neurology due to the fact that the central nervous system (CNS) does not regenerate on its own. ...
