Although RSS demonstrates a promising solution to track and personalize the flow of new Web information, many of the current Web sites are not yet enabled with RSS feeds. The availability of convenient approaches to “RSSify” existing suitable Web contents has become a stringent necessity. This paper presents EHTML2RSS, an efficient system that translates semi-structured HTML pages to structured...

Syndication of micronews, frequently-updated content on the Web, is currently accomplished with RSS feeds and client applications that poll those feeds. However, providers of RSS content have recently become concerned about the escalating bandwidth demand of RSS readers. Current efforts to address this problem by optimizing the polling behavior of clients sacrifice timeliness without fundamenta...

A sensitive and selective method was developed for the separation and characterization of related substances (RSs) in EVT-401 by hyphenated LC-MS techniques. Complete separation of the RSs was achieved with an Inertsil ODS-SP column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 µm) by linear gradient elution using a mobile phase consisting of 0.2% formic acid solution, methanol and acetonitrile. EVT-401 was found to be su...

We report a case of severe intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) which was diagnosed as Russell–Silver syndrome (RSS) postnatally. RSS (also known as Silver–Russell syndrome) is one of more than 300 recognised forms of genetic disorder that leads to short stature. Uniparental disomy for chromosome 7 (UPD7), i.e. inheriting two copies of chromosome 7 from the mother, and a change in methylation...

Currently, most of the RSS-based localization approaches rely on an isotropic radio propagation model to compute the distance from RSS, which however has been proved to be impossible by recent research work. Performance analysis is necessary to evaluate the applicability of a localization algorithm, however, few work has been done to evaluate and compare the performance of existing localization...

Malleable signature schemes allow altering signed data in a controlled way while keeping the signature verifiable trusting the signer’s key. Several constructions exists. They can be grouped in two different categories: (1) redactable signatures (RSS) and (2) sanitizable signatures (SSS). RSSs allow for removing blocks of a signed document, while SSSs offer the possibility to change all admissi...

Most RF beacons-based mobile robot navigation techniques rely on approximating line-of-sight (LOS) distances between the beacons and the robot. This is mostly performed using the robot's received signal strength (RSS) measurements from the beacons. However, accurate mapping between the RSS measurements and the LOS distance is almost impossible to achieve in reverberant environments. This paper ...

Context-aware applications have been gaining huge interest in the last few years. With cell phones becoming ubiquitous computing devices, cell phone localization has become an important research problem. Database Correlation Method (DCM) is a positioning technology that based on a database of a premeasured location dependent variable such as Received Signal Strength (RSS). DCM has shown superio...

With the development of Internet, the information which appears by text form is more and more frequent. It becomes one kind of the most easily to gain and the richest interactive resources. In recent years, different commercial Weblog subscribing systems have been proposed to return stories from users' subscribed feeds. An RSS feed may have several different topics. A user may only be inte...

Self-configuration in wireless sensor networks is a general class of estimation problems that we study via the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB). Specifically, we consider sensor location estimation when sensors measure received signal strength (RSS) or time-of-arrival (TOA) between themselves and neighboring sensors. A small fraction of sensors in the network have a known location, whereas the remaining ...
