Analysis of volatile organic compounds released from the decay of surrogate human models simulating victims of collapsed buildings by thermal desorption-comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry
(2015)
Field experiments were devised to mimic the entrapment conditions under the rubble of collapsed buildings aiming to investigate the evolution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the early dead body decomposition ...
Trace detection of endogenous human volatile organic compounds for search, rescue and emergency applications
(2015)
Since Pauling's paper in the 1970s, interest has increased in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from different bio-fluids, such as blood and urine. A number of VOCs reflect internal biochemical pathways occurring ...
Business-Oriented Evaluation of the PaaSage Platform
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
Cloud computing is an efficient and cost effective realization of the utility function principle. Over the last years, a vast pool of choices for businesses has been created. This diversity of cloud infrastructures, ...
Risk modeling and analysis of interdependencies of critical infrastructures using colored timed petri nets
(2015)
Petri Nets (PNs) and their variations are a graphical, mathematical language that can be used for the specification, analysis and verification of discrete event systems, including Critical Infrastructures (CIs). Colored ...
Enamine-Based Hydrophilic Dynamic Covalent Polymer Networks: Effects of pH, and Copolymer Composition and Concentration on the Aqueous Swelling Degrees and the Gel Formation Times
(2015)
In this work, we explore the formation in water of dynamic covalent polymer networks cross-linked via enamine groups. The polymer networks resulted from the combination of pairs of chemically complementary hydrophilic ...
An automation component for cross-platform, context-aware applications development
(2015)
Context-aware computing faces many challenges mainly due to the increasing number and heterogeneity of context sources, since the Internet of Things introduces billions of devices. The development of context-aware applications ...
Adaptive emergency scenery video communications using HEVC for responsive decision support in disaster incidents
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
This study proposes a unifying framework for m-Health video communication systems that provides for the joint optimization of video quality, bitrate demands, and encoding time. The framework is video modality and infrastructure ...
EHealth services for the european reference network on rare anaemias (eENERCA)
(2015)
This paper presents an electronic registry system for the purposes of the eENERCA for rare congenital conditions that require lifelong follow up and treatment. The main objective of the eENERCA project focusses on the ...
Do human cognitive differences in information processing affect preference and performance of CAPTCHA?
(2015)
A Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is a widely used security defense mechanism that is utilized by service providers to determine whether the entity interacting with their ...
