Exposure assessment is a crucial part in studying potential effects of RF-EMF. Using data from the HERMES study on adolescents, we developed an integrative exposure surrogate combining near-field and far-field RF-EMF exposure in a single brain and whole-body exposure measure. Contributions from far-field sources were modelled by propagation modelling and multivariable regression modelling using...

Data sources used for creating mashups rarely include anything from the vast potential of the mobile domain. However, many enablers and pieces of useful information already exist for such mashups, both on the device side and on the operator network side. The lack of mashups in this fruitful area stems partly from the difficulties in accessing such data. This paper describers the application of ...

The detection of hazardous radiation sources is difficult for several reasons. Sensors detect when photons, generated randomly by sources, strike crystals and so sensors don’t get continuous information streams. Radiation emanates from threats but also from walls, the ground and medical patients undergoing radiation treatment. There may be multiple, mobile, evasive sources. The number of parame...

bioavailability of three rumen protected methionine (met) sources with different protection methods (mepron® m85, evonik industries, germany; methioplus®, soda nutrition, italy and methilock®, tehrandaneh co. iran) were evaluated in 2 experiments with 6 canulated non-lactating holstein cows. in experiment 1, the ruminal in situ and mobile bag techniques were used for assessing ruminal degradabi...

mobile commerce is whatever electronic transfer or transaction via a mobile modem through a mobile net in which the true value or advance payment is done for goods, services or information. a mobile payment system should be beneficial for all related persons. for a payment system to be a successful system, end-user, seller, exporter and operators should see a additional value in it. end-user pr...

The paper researches the fire sources and programs escaping path using mobile robots for intelligent building, and presents the movement scenario in the experimental platform. The mobile robot has the shape of cylinder and its diameter, height and weight is 10cm, 18cm and 1.5kg. The controller of the mobile robot is MCS-51 microchip, and acquires the detection signals from flame sensor and refl...

An information system delivers support for decision making; however the physical constraints associated with mobile work often means that such support is limited. Despite the limitations, mobile workers manage to get work done. A broader review of a mobile worker’s information system use reveals information sources that are outside the usual analysis of the technology and data. Decision making ...

Mobile technology appears promising as a method to promote group performance in circumstances dependent on time, but not member proximity. However, the success of mobile technology in group decision-making situations has not yet been proven. This paper aims to see how mobile technology affects the performance of group decision-making tasks that should be resolved urgently and/or sources of idea...

Sub-optimal vaccination coverage and recent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases serve as a reminder that vaccine hesitancy remains a concern. ImmunizeCA, a new smartphone app to help track immunizations, may address several reasons for not vaccinating. We conducted a study to describe demographic variables, attitudes, beliefs and information sources regarding pediatric vaccination in a sa...

Background & Aims: Since previous studies on complications resulting from exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phones are based only on self- reported symptoms, this study was performed to find the capability of users in recognition of real/ sham microwave exposure and probable alterations of vital signs after microwave exposure. Methods: In a two- step screening, from 700 stude...
