In this paper, we describe an innovative concept of threedimensional interactive educational games that combine the excitement and looks of popular computer games with the educational potential of electronic study materials and its realization by a system called S.M.I.L.E. – Smart Multipurpose Interactive Learning Environment. One of its key features is the consideration of various learners’ ab...

Mobility and handoff management is a key problem of the Future Internet. Current solutions provide mobility services, such as seamless mobility, adaptive mobility, alwaysbest-connected (ABC) mobility, etc. The problem is these services work separately and ignore conflicts between them. This may lead to improve one service and degrade others. Hence, we propose multipurpose mobility as a new holi...

Plumeria rubra is one of the plants which have been used in traditional medicine for many years. The plant is known to possess biological activities viz., antipyretic, antifungal, antiviral, analgesic, anticancer, antioxidative and hypolipidemic...

Among all of the plasmonic noble metal nanoparticles the gold nanorod (GNR) retains a special place. Its elongated shape gives it unique anisotropic optical and physico-chemical properties. Owing to possibility to control the end-cap geometry, the GNR is the most tunable shape in the terms of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectral range. Moreover, the possibility to synthesize GNRs...
