In remote and inaccessible areas, the traffic request for Internet-of-Things (IoT) terminals is growing. This paper proposes a cognitive satellite-aerial network (CSAN) to provide sufficient access services. The proposed CSAN consists of primary beam-hopping (BH) satellite secondary aerial-based station (ABS) systems. Since two systems share spectrums, co-channel interference (CCI) between comp...

Network-wide traffic measurement is important for various network management tasks, ranging from traffic accounting, traffic engineering, and network troubleshooting to security. The network operators are interested in monitoring passing traffic in a network for reasons of traffic accounting, debugging or troubleshooting, forensics, and traffic engineering. Previous research has focused on moni...

since it is essential to deliver smoothed sinusoidal voltage to the customers, diagnosing power quality (pq) events has played important role in power delivery and conversion. this diagnostic scheme should be accurate to classify pq events from other events in power system. also it should be fast enough to rapidly mitigate pq events. in this paper, an algorithm based on core vector machine (cvm...

objective: monitoring of intracranial pressure (icp) is a routine procedure in the neurosurgery field. although the routine practice of monitoring icp has decreased in recent years, the practice patterns have not been studied in colombia. this study was designed to evaluate the current practice for ventriculostomy and icp monitoring by neurosurgeons in colombia. methods: an 11-question electron...

Wireless power transfer is a promising technology to extend the lifetime of, and thus enhance the usability of, the energy-hungry battery-powered devices. It enables energy to be wirelessly transmitted from power chargers to energy receiving devices. Existing studies have mainly focused on maximizing network lifetime, optimizing charging efficiency, minimizing charging delay, etc. Different fro...

We searched the MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases for articles published between January 1990 and November 2010. The update of this clinical practice guideline is based on 234 clinical studies and systematic reviews, 19 review articles that investigated capnography/capnometry during mechanical ventilation, and the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resu...

due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. in order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...
