SUMMARY During the last decade we assisted to relevant progress in rehabilitation studies and in technological development. From the combination of these issues rises the tele-rehabilitation--a subfield of telemedicine consisting of a system to control rehabilitation "at distance"--as an actual possibility of application and a promising development in the future. The present paper offers a shor...

Today, many institutions begin to employ services to distribute multimedia content to their customers. Especially in the areas of tele-learning and tele-medicine, the requirements on the availability and the achieved transmission quality are very high. Therefore, multiple video servers for a particular service are distributed over the internet in order to allow the clients to choose the ’best’ ...

Globalization pushes production and consumption to geographically diverse locations and generates a variety of sizeable opportunities and challenges. The distribution and associated effects of short-lived primary fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a representative of local pollution, are significantly affected by the consumption through global supply chain. Tele-connection is used here to represe...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this research work is the development of a low-cost system for telemedicine based on the DVB-T technology. The diffusion of DVB-T standard and the low cost of DVB-T set-top boxes bring the vision of a capillary distribution of tele-home care monitoring systems with easy-to-use patient's interface. METHODS Exploiting the potentiality of the DVB-T set-top box, we transform...

This study demonstrated a method to train medical students at Hanoi Medical School in airway management from Omaha, Nebraska, using tele-mentoring techniques. Correct placement of the endotracheal tube was documented by tele-broncoscopy following intubation. This technology may increase medical training capabilities in remote or developing areas of the world. Medical care delivery could be perf...

This paper discusses the state of the art in networking, and explains the way existing networks can support tele-education applications. Chapter 1 identifies which tele-education parameters have the biggest impact upon the underlying network, and proposes a classification of teleeducation applications. Chapter 2 discusses the various networks that are used for tele-education purposes: Local Are...

mobility. However, in case of failed location update, a significant consequence is the obsolete location identity in the network databases and thereafter the incapability in establishing the valid route for the potential call connection, which will seriously degrade the network quality-of-service (QoS). This issue is not theoretically studied in the literature. In this paper, we perform a quant...

This paper is mainly concerned with the internal details of a runtime platform for teleconferencing and all the study and research work done in improving the runtime platform so as to not to use it as a stand-alone application but to support reuse of its components. The platform designed has three functionalities. Converts the captured video into .x file format, Encrypt the data file and transf...
