Any system which contains some form of cryptographic authentication, conndentiality and/or identii-cation requires the provisioning of a secure key generation and distribution capability. The key distribution mechanism for wireless cellular systems, such as IS-95 CDMA, IS-136 TDMA and IS-91 Analog, has recently been investigated by the Telephone Industry Associ-ation's standards working groups....

The adoption of the mobile phone by young people has been a global phenomenon in recent years. It is now an integral part of adolescents' daily lives and is for the majority, the most popular form of electronic communication. In fact, the mobile phone has turned from a technological tool to a social tool. This paper explores the impact of the mobile phone on youth peer relationships, on family ...

The advent of big data has aided understanding of the driving forces of human mobility, which is beneficial for many fields, such as mobility prediction, urban planning, and traffic management. However, the data sources used in many studies, such as mobile phone location and geo-tagged social media data, are sparsely sampled in the temporal scale. An individual’s records can be distributed over...

Antennas have traditionally been measured in anechoic chambers. An anechoic chamber is a suitable and necessary reference environment to measure large antennas that are used in a Line-Of-Sight (LOS) environment, but it is an unsuitable environment to measure devices with small antennas. Devices with small antennas are normally used in a Non-LOS environment, which is typically characterised by a...

Background Using cellular phone among adults, teenagers and children has rapidly increased all over the world. Also, the concern on the possible health hazards of Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) induced from cell phones on reproduction has been growing in many countries. The aim was to assess the morphological parameters, survival rate and development of mouse in-vitro embryos obtained by natural ...

ISSUES The rapid rise of mobile phone use in poor countries is well known as an exemplary case of a technology enabling bottom-up empowerment through information access, driven by smallmargin business and end-user innovation. While many are not mobile phone owners themselves, few today face a several mile walk to access an often-disconnected landline phone for communication, which was a regular...

The wireless networking has attracted much interest in past decades, owing to its high mobility. People can connect their devices such as PDAs, mobile phones or computers to a network by radio signals anywhere in home, garden or office without the need for wires. The global growth of mobile subscribers is much faster than wireline ones, as the Figure 1 shows (Yungsoo et al., 2003). The number o...

background there is currently great concern about the possible adverse effect of microwave radiation from cell phones. in addition, noise is one of the physical pollutants of modern societies. objectives the present study aimed to examine the separate and simultaneous effects of cell phone microwaves, noise, and their effects on sperm parameters and total antioxidant capacity in adult male rats...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether a 15-minute placement of a 3G dialing mobile phone causes direct changes in EEG activity compared to the placement of a sham phone. Furthermore, it was investigated whether placement of the mobile phone on the ear or the heart would result in different outcomes. Thirty-one healthy females participated. All subjects were measured twice: on one of ...
