Methanogenic fermentation involves a natural ecosystem that can be used for waste water treatment. This anaerobic process can have two locally stable steady-states and an unstable one making the process hard to handle. The aim of this work is to propose analytical criteria to detect hazardous working modes, namely situations where the system evolves towards the acidification of the plant. We fi...

Thrombolysis and endovascular interventions have revolutionized stroke treatment, but many patients are excluded from such therapies, and residual disability is common.1 Emerging approaches to enhance poststroke brain repair may have no time constraints and are applicable to most stroke patients. Novel interventions to enhance brain repair include electromagnetic or robotic techniques, brain– c...

We reviewed the use of advanced display technologies for monitoring in anesthesia. Researchers are investigating displays that integrate information and that, in some cases, also deliver the results continuously to the anesthesiologist. Integrated visual displays reveal higher-order properties of patient state and speed in responding to events, but their benefits under an intensely timeshared l...

In today’s world of advanced communication, industrial process control and automotive systems, the reliance on batteries to ensure power delivery is always available is becoming increasingly critical. Because of this, the ability to monitor the battery life-span and predict failure points is also becoming ever more important, but this is completely addressable with off the shelf microprocessor ...

ETOMIC is a network traffic measurement platform with high precision GPS-synchronized monitoring nodes. The infrastructure is publicly available to the network research community, supporting advanced experimental techniques by providing high precision hardware equipments and a Central Management System. Researchers can deploy their own active measurement codes to perform experiments on the publ...

Advanced ocular imaging technologies facilitate objective and reproducible quantification of change in glaucoma but at the same time, impose new challenges on scientists and clinicians for separating true structural change from imaging noise. This review examines time-domain and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and scanning laser polarimetry t...

Field Server (FS) is a rugged server which can be installed in fields. Field Monitoring Server (FMS) is a kind of FS for monitoring. So far, solar cell embedded on the top of FMSs have been used only as a light intensity sensors. The power source for FMS is supplied by a cable, since the solar cell's power alone is not sufficient to run conventional FMSs. To construct a massively distributed mo...
