In this paper we present our practical experiences in implementing a secure NFC application on mobile phones. First, we present the characteristics of the NFC technology and its security features. Based on our practical, real-world offline NFC voucher payment application, using the Nokia 6313 and 6212 NFC enabled devices, we illustrate the possibilities of NFC applications on today’s technology...

We present an electronic data capture (EDC) system based on Near Field Communication (NFC). NFC is an easy way for self-reporting of health status information. As traditional paper-based questionnaires are timeand cost-consuming and may be affected by low patient compliance, our EDC system allows patient monitoring and electronic data acquisition directly from the patient’s home. It enables rea...

Near Field Communication (NFC) is one the most recent technologies in the area of application development and service delivery via mobile phone. NFC enables the mobile phone to act as identification and a credit card for customers. Dynamic relationships of NFC ecosystem players in an NFC transaction process make them partners in a way that sometimes they should share their access permissions on...

OBJECTIVE Our goal was to determine if systematic use of a validated developmental screening instrument is feasible and improves the detection of developmental delay (DD) in a pediatric medical home for children in foster care. DESIGN AND METHODS This study had a pre-post study design, following a practice intervention to screen all children in foster care for DD by using the Ages and Stages ...

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a new promising short-range wireless communication technology that provides ease of use by triggering the communication with a simple touch and making the user feel secure by short distance communication. Most promising functionality of NFC technology is via card emulation operating mode that enables an NFC Smartphone to behave like a contactless smart card. By...

This research aimed at explaining immigrant threat perceptions and pro-immigrant collective action intentions through moral conviction regarding the construction of US–Mexico border wall general need for closure (NFC). Among independent samples Democrats Republicans, we found that NFC (measured in Study 1, manipulated 2) was negatively related to enhanced when low. Instead, high, were more moti...

BACKGROUND Preference for speech and music processed with nonlinear frequency compression (NFC) and two controls (restricted bandwidth [RBW] and extended bandwidth [EBW] hearing aid processing) was examined in adults and children with hearing loss. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine if stimulus type (music, sentences), age (children, adults), and degree of hearing loss influen...

Objective: Previous studies have already documented improved speech intelligibility and music performance with the use of Nonlinear Frequency Compression (NFC) but as it is widely acknowledged that hearing aid users may gain increasing benefit with longer experience it is interesting to look into long-term effects of this technology. Speech perception benefit with extended use of NFC has been r...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate digestive physiological outcomes elicited by functional fibres fed to healthy adult men. A total of twenty-one healthy adult men were utilised in a cross-over design. Each subject received polydextrose (PDX) or soluble maize fibre (SCF) (21 g/d) or no supplemental fibre (no fibre control; NFC) in a snack bar. Periods were 21 d and faeces were c...
