There has been tremendous growth in the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in our daily lives. Yet with this growth has come numerous security concerns and privacy challenges for both the users and the systems. Smart devices have many uses in a healthcare system, e.g. collecting and reporting patient data and controlling the administration of treatment. In this paper, we address the sp...

in this research, the buckling and bending behaviour of smart nanocomposite plate reinforced by single- walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) under electro-magneto-mechanical loadings is studied. the extended mixture rule approach is used to determine the elastic properties of nanocomposite plate. equilibrium equations of smart nanocomposite plate are derived using the hamilton’s principle based on ...

This paper presents the results of a study on the effectiveness of smart growth development patterns and vehicle fleet hybridization in reducing mobile source emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) across 11 major metropolitan regions of the Midwestern U.S. over a 50-year period. Through the integration of a vehicle travel activity modeling framework developed by researchers atthe Oak Ridge National...

This paper was written by Edward Thompson, Jr., Senior Vice President, American Farmland Trust* in collaboration with the Funders’ Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities. It is the fifth in a series of translation papers sponsored by the Funders’ Network to translate the impact of sprawl upon issues of importance to America’s communities and to suggest opportunities for progress that ...

Consumer adoption of smart phones is growing globally at an exponential rate presenting significant commercial opportunities for all organizations. The percentage of the population using mobile phones in Ireland is the largest in Europe, with market revenue of i2 billion in 2009, and 117.3 percent penetration. However, the commercial growth potential of smart phones is being hindered by an indu...
