ANALYSIS OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR HABITAT MONITORING

by Joseph Polastre, Robert Szewczyk, Alan Mainwaring, David Culler, John Anderson , 2004
"... We provide an in-depth study of applying wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to real-world habitat monitoring. A set of system design requirements were developed that cover the hardware design of the nodes, the sensor network software, protective enclosures, and system architecture to meet the require ..."

Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.

by Shelley E Taylor , Jonathon D Brown , Nancy Cantor , Edward Emery , Susan Fiske , Tony Green-Wald , Connie Hammen , Darrin Lehman , Chuck Mcclintock , Dick Nisbett , Lee Ross , Bill Swann , Joanne - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."

Brain magnetic resonance imaging with contrast dependent on blood oxygenation.

by S Ogawa , T M Lee , A R Kay , D W Tank - Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA , 1990
"... ABSTRACT Paramagnetic deoxyhemoglobin in venous blood is a naturally occurring contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By accentuating the effects of this agent through the use of gradient-echo techniques in high fields, we demonstrate in vivo images of brain microvasculature with imag ..."

Animal care and the administration of anesthetics were in accordance with National Institutes of Health guidelines. For MRI experiments, the animal was placed in a thermally regulated compartment within the magnet

Query Processing for Sensor Networks

by Yong Yao, Johannes Gehrke , 2003
"... Hardware for sensor nodes that combine physical sensors, actuators, embedded processors, and communication components has advanced significantly over the last decade, and made the large-scale deployment of such sensors a reality. Applications range from monitoring applications such as inventory main ..."

Automated Real-Time Detection and Notification of Positive Infection Cases

by Elizabeth S. Chen, David Wajngurt
"... Infection control in the healthcare setting is an essential component for patient safety and quality of care. To assist with daily infection control functions, we have implemented an alert in the Vigilens Health Monitor (a clinical decision support system at our institution) for real-time detection ..."

C (2001) A systematic review of the associations between dose regimens and medication compliance. Clin Ther 23:1296–1310

by Ami J. Claxton, Z Joyce Cramer, Courtney Pierce, Ba T
"... Background: Previous reviews of the literature on medication compliance have con-firmed the inverse relationship between umber of daily doses and rate of compliance. However, compliance in most of these studies was based on patient self-report, blood-level monitoring, prescription refills, or pill c ..."

Failure trends in a large disk drive population

by Eduardo Pinheiro, Wolf-dietrich Weber, Luiz André Barroso - In Proceedings of the 5th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies , 2007
"... It is estimated that over 90 % of all new information produced in the world is being stored on magnetic media, most of it on hard disk drives. Despite their importance, there is relatively little published work on the failure patterns of disk drives, and the key factors that affect their lifetime. M ..."

. Most available data are either based on extrapolation from accelerated aging experiments or from relatively modest sized field studies. Moreover, larger population studies rarely have the infrastructure in place to collect health signals from components in operation, which is critical information

Health monitoring of civil infrastructures using wireless sensor networks

by Sukun Kim, Shamim Pakzad, David Culler, James Demmel, Gregory Fenves, Steven Glaser, Martin Turon - In Proc. IPSN 2007 , 2007
"... A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is designed, implemented, deployed and tested on the Golden Gate Bridge (GGB) with 4200ft midspan. Ambient structural vibrations are reliably measured at a low cost and without interfering with the operation of the bridge. Requir ..."
