Health trend analysis helps care professionals to evaluate someones functional health and direct or evaluate the choice of interventions. This paper presents one case study of a person that …

The maturing field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) results in long-lived deployments that produce large amounts of sensor data. Lightweight online on-mote processing may improve the usage of their limited resources, such as energy, by transmitting only unexpected sensor data (anomalies). We detect …

The observed persistent soft X-ray spectra (0.5 - 10 keV) of anomalous Xray pulsars (AXPs) can be explained by the magnetar model (Woods and Thompson et al., 2002 [3]) where the emission is powered by the decay of an extreme high magnetic eld ( 1014 G). Because these spectra are relatively soft, measurements …
