OBJECT Cerebral edema is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in diverse disease states. Currently, the means to detect progressive cerebral edema in vivo includes the use of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitors and/or serial radiological studies. However, ICP measurements exhibit a high degree of variability, and ICP monitors detect edema only after it becomes sufficient to significa...

INTRODUCTION Mobile phones hold considerable promise for delivering evidence-based smoking cessation interventions that require frequent and objective assessment of smoking status via breath carbon monoxide (Breath CO) measurement. However, there are currently no commercially available mobile-phone-based Breath CO meters. We developed a mobile-phone-based Breath CO meter prototype that attaches...

Abstract The largest and most close-in exoplanets would reflect enough starlight to enable its ground-based photometric detection under the condition of a high moderate albedo. We present results an observing campaign secondary eclipse light curves three suitable exoplanet targets, WASP-43b, WASP-103b, TrES-3b. observations were conducted with meter-sized telescopes in blue optical broadband fi...

The digital technology, the wireless communication, and the computer systems have drastically changed the Electric meter generation from Traditional Meter to Automatic Meter. The differences is in how to collect and process information, and traditional meter reading has been long used, and it is still one of the most common ways for meter reading. This method, however, has their disadvantages w...
