WSNs are used in many applications such ...

Eastern Greek islands have been direct passageways of (mainly Syrian) refugees to the European continent over the past year. However, basic medical care has been insufficient. Despite calls for reform, the Greek healthcare system has for many years been costly and dysfunctional, lacking universal equity of access. Thus, mainly volunteers look after the refugee camps in the Greek islands under a...

Human tissues play a critical role in modern medicine, particularly in this era of biotechnology. Beyond immediate therapeutic uses, e.g., transplantation, tissues (unlike organs) may be stored for an indefinite time period in traceable and often coded form and later used for biomedical research purposes, teaching, quality control in healthcare, and the manufacture and production of therapeutic...

This paper describes a pattern for the architecture of web-based wireless sensor network monitoring. Sensor nodes are used to measure characteristics of the physical environment and sensed data is stored on the Internet using web-based technologies. Users can access data remotely as long as they have Internet connectivity. Many wireless sensor network applications developed today use smartphone...

border region of England and Wales, and since recorded world-wide. Prevalence rates in sheep vary from 5% to 50% between countries and from region to region within countries. Clinical signs include barren ewes, abortions, stillbirths and the birth of small weak lambs. Affected lambs can show tremor, abnormal body conformation and hairy fleeces (so-called ‘hairy-shaker’ or ‘fuzzy’ lambs) and the...

It is well established by now that computer science has a number of concerns in common with natural language understanding. Common themes show up in particular with algorithmic aspects of text processing. This chapter gives an overview of border crossings from NLP to CS and back. Starting out from syntactic analysis, we trace our route via a philosophical puzzle about meaning, Hoare correctness...

The growing interaction between local cultures and international organisations suggests the need for peacebuilders to act strategically when trying overcome cultural differences build trust in societies long divided by bloody conflicts. This task is more difficult because mental barriers that divide people are exacerbated borders walls. Through an analysis of evolving role European Union (EU) p...
