Chapter Where are the Things of the Internet? Precise Time of Arrival Estimation for IoT Positioning
(2019)
The question how a 5G communication system will look like has been addressed intensely in numerous research projects and in standardization bodies. In the massively connected world of the “Internet of Things” (IoT), it is ...
Chapter Noninvasive Acquisition of the Aortic Blood Pressure Waveform
(2019)
Blood pressure reflects the status of our cardiovascular system. For the measurement of blood pressure, we typically use brachial devices on the upper arm, and much less often, the radial devices with pressure sensors on ...
Chapter Blockchain Applications in Cybersecurity
(2019)
Blockchain has been widely known thanks to Bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies. In this chapter, we analyze different aspects that relate to the application of blockchain with techniques commonly used in the field of ...
Chapter New Radiation Pattern-Reconfigurable 60-GHz Antenna for 5G Communications
(2019)
Reconfigurable beam steering using circular disc microstrip patch antenna with a ring slot is proposed. The overall dimension of the antenna is 5.4 × 5.4 mm2 printed on 0.504 mm thick, RT5870 substrate with relative ...
Chapter New Insights and Horizons from the Linear Response Function in Conceptual DFT
(2019)
An overview is given of our recent work on the linear response function (LRF) χrr′ and its congener, the softness kernel srr′, the second functional derivatives of the energy E and the grand potential Ω with respect to the ...
Chapter Machine Learning in Volcanology: A Review
(2020)
A volcano is a complex system, and the characterization of its state at any given time is not an easy task. Monitoring data can be used to estimate the probability of an unrest and/or an eruption episode. These can include ...
Chapter Machine Learning Techniques to Mitigate Nonlinear Phase Noise in Moderate Baud Rate Optical Communication Systems
(2020)
Nonlinear phase noise (NLPN) is the most common impairment that degrades the performance of radio-over-fiber networks. The effect of NLPN in the constellation diagram consists of a shape distortion of symbols that increases ...
Chapter Business Process Linguistic Modeling: Theory and Practice Part I: BPLM Strategy Creator
(2020)
The business activities provided within any firm or company should be checked and controlled continuously, while two principal approaches should be applied: (a) qualitative monitoring, (b) quantitative evaluations, while ...
Chapter Computer Assistance in the Minimally Invasive Ablation Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
(2020)
The insertion of ablation needles towards pancreatic tumors demands excellent anatomical knowledge and interdisciplinary skills from the medical professional. While the placement of a single needle next to the structures ...
Chapter The Zebrafish Kupffer’s Vesicle: A Special Organ in a Model Organism to Study Human Diseases
(2020)
The Kupffer’s vesicle (KV) is a small, ciliated organ transiently present during embryogenesis of the zebrafish and other teleosts. The KV is required to the establishment of visceral laterality, such as the heart on the ...
