The objective of the current study was the development of a reliable modeling platform to calculate in real time the personal exposure and the associated health risk for filling station employees evaluating current environmental parameters (traffic, meteorological and amount of fuel traded) determined by the appropriate sensor network. A set of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) was developed to...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the occupational exposure to gasoline of men employed at filling stations affects the sex of their children. Altogether 115 offspring (47 males, 68 females) were identified within families of 49 men working in filling stations in Shiraz (Fars province, south of Iran) and 345 offspring (178 males, 167 females) from 147 families of unexposed person...

Soldier Station is a unique simulation system which bridges the gap between two distinct realms of modeling: constructive and virtual. The Soldier Station operator controls a simulated dismounted infantry soldier in a 3D virtual environment with rules of movement, engagement and tactics provided from a constructive model. This paper describes the Soldier Station system, its design, and the inte...

In this paper, we propose the remote control station in order to guarantee and increase the efficiency of combat abilities using unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). Our remote control station is capable of sending a variety of messages designed for carrying out the skillful movement for collaboration among UGVs. Also, we present the core components of unmanned ground vehicles to efficiently carry ou...

This paper presents the ground control station developed for a platform composed by multiple unmanned aerial vehicles in surveillance missions. The software application is fully based on open source libraries and it has been designed as a robust and decentralized system. It allows the operator to dynamically allocate different tasks to the UAVs and to show their operational information in a 3D ...

We consider jamming in wireless networks with transmission cost for both transmitter and jammer. We use the framework of non-zerosum games. In particular, we prove the existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium. It turns out that it is possible to provide analytical expressions for the equilibrium strategies. These expressions is a generalization of the standard water-filling. In fact, since ...
