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 ...
Open source workflow systems in life sciences informatics
(2012)
A simple yet powerful programming tool enabling in silico experimentation, end-to-end data management through web services as well as use of grid and cloud processing power is scientific workflows. This technology is ...
Enterprise COllaboration and INteroperability (COIN) platform: Two case studies in the marine shipping domain
(2012)
Enterprise Collaboration and Enterprise Interoperability are two key aspects of networked enterprises, which proceed along parallel tracks with rare opportunities to convene, support and influence each other. To resolve ...
A model-driven framework for developing web service oriented applications
(2012)
The advancements made in terms of the capabilities of mobile devices have shifted the interest of service engineering towards frameworks that are able to deliver applications rapidly and efficiently. The development of ...
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 ...
Physiology and biochemistry of human subjects during entrapment
(2013)
A classification of various categories of entrapped people under the ruins of collapsed buildings after earthquakes, technical failures or explosions is proposed. Type and degree of injury at the moment of building collapse ...
The connected vitality system: Enhancing social presence for older adults
(2013)
The social isolation of older adults in Europe is a key and continuously growing issue that demands immediate attention. Older adults might feel isolated and lonely mainly because they lack human contact and social support. ...
Computing and Communications for the Software-Defined Metamaterial Paradigm: A Context Analysis
(2017)
Metamaterials are artificial structures that have recently enabled the realization of novel electromagnetic components with engineered and even unnatural functionalities. Existing metamaterials are specifically designed ...
RVC: A mechanism for time-analyzable real-time processors with faulty caches
(2011)
Geometry scaling due to technology evolution as well as Vcc scaling lead to failures in large SRAM arrays such as caches. Faulty bits can be tolerated from the average performance perspective, but make critical realtime ...
RVC-based time-predictable faulty caches for safety-critical systems
(2011)
Technology and Vcc scaling lead to significant faulty bit rates in caches. Mechanisms based on disabling faulty parts show to be effective for average performance but are unacceptable in safety critical systems where ...
