Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as an energy-efficient wastewater treatment technology have attracted increasing interest in the past decade. Cathode catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) present a major challenge ...

Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) and forward osmosis (FO) are two emerging technologies with great potential for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. BES takes advantage of microbial interaction with a solid electron ...

Well logically verified and tested software may fail because of undesired physical phenomena provoking transient faults during its execution. While being the most frequent kind of faults, transient faults are difficult to ...

A particular goal oriented software design is proposed in this paper: by checking the preservation of critical information, an original proposed program structure has the important property to naturally recover transient ...

Both microbial desalination cells (MDCs) and forwards osmosis (FO) are emerging technologies for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. However, incomplete treatment/desalination in both technologies creates challenges ...

The treatment of spent caustic produced from an ethylene plant was investigated. In the case of neutralization alone it was found that the maximum removal of sulfide was at pH values below 5.5. The higher percentage removal ...

Remote health monitoring is becoming indispensable, though, Internet of Things (IoTs)-based solutions have many implementation challenges, including energy consumption at the sensing node, and delay and instability due to ...

Simulation-based training (SBT) is becoming a necessity in educating healthcare professionals who work in high-risk environments, such as the intensive care unit (ICU) [1]. This applies to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ...

The Zynq-7000 based platforms are increasingly being used in different applications including image and signal processing. The Zynq system on chip (SoC) architecture combines a processing system based on a dual core ARM ...

This paper presents an innovative and safe connected health solution for human identification. The system consists of the encryption and decryption of ECG signals using the advanced encryption standard (AES) as well as the ...
