Iris authentication in handheld devices - considerations for constraint-free acquisition
(IEEE, 2015-05)
As a near ideal biometric, iris authentication is widely used and mobile acquisition techniques are known. But iris acquisition on handheld imaging devices, such as smartphones, poses multiple, unique challenges. In this ...
Champions in our midst: the father of digital video broadcasting
(IEEE, 2015)
One of the benefits of joining the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society is that you get access to senior engineers and researchers from our industry. They are often at our conferences, workshops, and local Chapter meetings ...
Online influence and sentiment of fitness tweets: Analysis of two million fitness tweets
(JMIR Publications, 2017)
Objective: The goal of this experimental approach using the fitness Twitter dataset is two-fold: (1) to determine if there is a correlation between the type of activity tweet (either workout or workout+, which contains the ...
Human centred design considerations for connected health devices for the older adult
(MDPI, 2014-06-04)
Connected health devices are generally
designed for unsupervised use, by
non-healthcare professionals, facilitating independent control of the
individuals own healthcare. Older adults are major users of such devices ...
SMART MOVE - a smartphone-based intervention to promote physical activity in primary care: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2013-05-29)
Background: Sedentary lifestyles are now becoming a major concern for governments of developed and developing countries with physical inactivity related to increased all-cause mortality, lower quality of life, and increased ...
Haemodynamic performance of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) during recovery from total hip arthroplasty
(2013-03-05)
Background: Patients post total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain at high risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) during the recovery period following surgery despite the availability of effective pharmacological and ...
Introducing the IEEE Biometrics Compendium: Insight into the current issue.
(IEEE, 2014-01)
IEEE biometrics compendium is the first IEEE virtual journal, which is a

Optimised analytical models of the dielectric properties of biological tissue
(Elsevier, 2017-02-09)
The interaction of electromagnetic fields with the human body is quantified by the dielectric properties of biological tissues. These properties are incorporated into complex numerical simulations using parametric models ...
Effect of logarithmic and linear frequency scales on parametric modelling of tissue dielectric data
(IOP Publishing, 2017-02-03)
The dielectric properties of biological tissues have been studied widely over the past half-century. These properties are used in a vast array of applications, from determining the safety of wireless telecommunication ...
A multistage selective weighting method for improved microwave breast tomography
(Elsevier, 2016-08-24)
Microwave tomography has shown potential to successfully reconstruct the dielectric properties of the human breast, thereby providing an alternative to other imaging modalities used in breast imaging applications. Considering ...
