Recently, several attempts have been made to continuously monitor chronic diseases in everyday life, but their large form factors or battery power limitations still remain to be solved. Security and/or requirements of interference resilience are stringent for health monitoring, and therefore, using an open-air wireless ISM band [1] is not suitable for a health monitoring body sensor network (BS...

Critical infrastructures provide services that are essential for the support of everyday activities in modern societies. Being the result of a continuous process of integration of diverse technologies and organizations, they require a multi-disciplinary, systemic approach in order to be understood. In this respect, one of the most challenging issues is the analysis of infrastructures under dist...

"Resilience" in psychology is the positive capacity of people to cope with stress and adversity. This coping may result in the individual “bouncing back” to a previous state of normal functioning, or using the experience of exposure to adversity to produce a “steeling effect” and function better than expected (much like an inoculation gives one the capacity to cope well with future exposure to ...

discussion similar resilience scores in deaf and hearing participants may be due to appropriate interaction of deaf signers with family members and society. male deaf subjects were more resilient than female ones; studies should be done to examine the effects of cultural characteristics that may provide females with less communication opportunities than males. materials and methods this compara...

Recently, sensor data stream delivery system that collects sensor data periodically and delivers successively has been attracting great attention. As for this sensor data stream delivery, receivers are possible to require the same sensor data stream with different delivery cycles. Our research team proposed methods to distribute communication loads by relay nodes in the case of delivering the s...

The present article maps and analyses the different meanings of EU’s resilience narratives in its neighbourhood policy towards authoritarian regimes. While a large part existing literature has placed an emphasis on role EU foreign more generally, specific use representations regimes remains ill-explored. However, it is specifically context relations with regimes, that references to resilience, ...

This lays comprehensive review organization resilience survival. Thus, for any that intendents continue everyday operations, must devise ways be resilient survive by always scanning it finds itself in, as well being aw...
