Software-defined cognitive radios (CRs) use voice as a primary input/output (I/O) modality and are expected to have substantial computational resources capable of supporting advanced speechand audio-processing applications. This chapter extends previous work on speech applications (e.g., [1]) to cognitive services that enhance military mission capability by capitalizing on automatic processes, ...

background there is significant prevalence of physical injuries sustained by civilian recruits at military training garrisons. civilian recruits sustain these injuries mostly during the intensive and rigorous military combat-training period. objectives we sought to determine the prevalence and causes of oral and maxillofacial injuries as the first step in reducing and preventing them in civilia...

Ultrasound wave is a kind of waves with the frequency higher than the human audible frequency. Although ultrasound was first used for military identification purposes, it has been used for decades for various other applications, especially medical applications. Medical applications of ultrasound include diagnostic and therapeutic applications, such as for the treatment of cancer. In this paper,...

This chapter deals with the problem of reliability modelling with wireless sensor network (WSN) (Akyildiz et al., 2002), which is rapidly becoming a platform for applications including antiterrorism, smart spaces, numerous military sensing and command and control applications, and entertainment. Inherent in these safety-critical applications is a priority and urgency of the information or messa...

In recent years, the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have grown dramatically in many fields such as military applications, environmental applications, and health assistant applications. However, there are numerous problems associated with applying the WSNs. Such problems are related to power consumption, performance, reliability, installation cost, and
