Sensor Network has gained the reputation of becoming the most promising technology of 21 century due to its low cost and ability to traverse longer distances in unattended hostile environments. However, security has still remained a burning and an unresolved issue for both centralized and decentralized wireless sensor networks. Using rigorous theoretical and practical analysis, we have traced n...

Volume Interpolated Breath-hold Examination (VIBE) [1] offers three-dimensional multiphase image acquisition before and following contrast administration on a breath-hold time scale. The dynamic behavior of liver lesions and structures during the precontrast, arterial, portal venous, early equilibrium and 5-minutedelayed equilibrium phases of enhancement allows more accurate characterization th...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are prone to various security breaches as they are placed in hostile environments. Several security and broadcast authentication mechanisms were proposed for securing the WSN fully via key exchange mechanisms, handshake protocols, and other routing protocols. But these existing schemes cannot detect a variety of attacks and are not competent in terms of detection...

Clinical MR systems operating at 3.0 Tesla have the potential to significantly improve spatial resolution due to the boost in intrinsic signal to noise ratio. However, body imaging at these field strengths presents a number of technical challenges. We performed a prospective pilot study in which 10 patients underwent an MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) examination consecutively on 1.5 and 3.0...

This innovative application paper presents TESLA, an agent-based application for optimizing the energy use in commercial buildings. TESLA’s key insight is that adding flexibility to event/meeting schedules can lead to significant energy savings. TESLA provides three key contributions: (i) three online scheduling algorithms that consider flexibility of people’s preferences for energyefficient sc...

The magnetic field strength of both the magnet and gradient coils used in MR imaging equipment is measured in Tesla units, which are named for Nikola Tesla. This article presents the life and achievements of this Serbian-American inventor and researcher who discovered the rotating magnetic field, the basis of most alternating-current machinery. Nikola Tesla had 700 patents in the United States ...

A demonstration setup of the Tesla Powerwall has been installed by Eneco at the department of DCE&S at the TU Delft. This setup is used to investigate the functionalities of the Tesla Powerwall. As research is being done about transforming AC homegrids towards DC homegrids, it would be interesting to investigate how the Tesla Powerwall would function in these surroundings. A lot of research has...
