Gamma band neural stimulation in humans and the promise of a new modality to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease
(IOS Press, 2018-07-19)Existing treatments for Alzheimer s Disease have questionable efficacy with a need for research into new and more effective therapies to both treat and possibly prevent the condition. This review examines a novel therapeutic ... -
Integrating tagging into the web of data: Overview and combination of existing tag ontologies
(Taiwan Academic Network, 2011-07)As the number of social websites offering tagging facilities increases, tagging has become not only a common basis for user participation, but also an important aspect of social content. Tagging is primarily based on the ... -
Multi-nodal short-term energy forecasting using smart meter data
(Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2018-06-10)This paper deals with the short-term forecasting of electrical energy demands at the local level, incorporating advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), or ‘smart meter’ data. It provides a study of the effects of aggregation ... -
A survey of reliability assessment techniques for modern distribution networks
(Elsevier, 2018-04-14)Reliability assessment tools are of crucial importance for planning and modernisation of distribution power systems. In recent years there has been an increased deployment of renewable energy, distributed generation, energy ... -

A realistic pelvic phantom for electrical impedance measurement
(IOP Publishing, 2018-03-15)Objective: To design and fabricate an anatomically and conductively accurate phantom for electrical impedance studies of non-invasive bladder volume monitoring. Approach: A modular pelvic phantom was designed and fabricated, ... -
Supervised learning classifiers for electrical impedance-based bladder state detection
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-03-29)Urinary Incontinence affects over 200 million people worldwide, severely impacting the quality of life of individuals. Bladder state detection technology has the potential to improve the lives of people with urinary ... -
Towards semantically-interlinked online communities
(CEPIS Member Society, Asociación de Técnicos de Informática (ATI), 2005-12)Online community sites have replaced the traditional means of keeping a community informed via libraries and publishing. At present, online communities are islands that are not interlinked. Ontologies and Semantic Web ... -
A URI is worth a thousand tags: From tagging to linked data with MOAT
(IGI Global, 2009)Although tagging is a widely accepted practice on the Social Web, it raises various issues like tags ambiguity and heterogeneity, as well as the lack of organization between tags. We believe that Semantic Web technologies ... -
An abstract framework for modeling argumentation in virtual communities
(IGI Global, 2009)Classic argumentative discussions can be found in a variety of domains from traditional scientific publishing to today’s modern social software. An interactive argumentative discussion usually consists of an initial ... -
Crowdsourcing, citizen sensing and sensor web technologies for public and environmental health surveillance and crisis management: trends, OGC standards and application examples
(BioMed Central, 2011-12-21)'Wikification of GIS by the masses' is a phrase-term first coined by Kamel Boulos in 2005, two years earlier than Goodchild's term 'Volunteered Geographic Information'. Six years later (2005-2011), OpenStreetMap and Google ... -
Minimum information for dielectric measurements of biological tissues (MINDER): A framework for repeatable and reusable data
(Wiley, 2017-11-13)The dielectric properties of biological tissues characterise the interaction of human tissues with electromagnetic (EM) fields. Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of tissues are vital in EM‐based therapeutic ... -
Investigation of histology region in dielectric measurements of heterogeneous tissues
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-08-17)The dielectric properties of tissues are the key parameters in electromagnetic medical technologies. Despite the apparent simplicity of the dielectric measurement process, reported data have been inconsistent for heterogeneous ... -
Modeling of the dielectric properties of biological tissues within the histology region
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-11-27)The dielectric properties of biological tissues characterize the interaction of electromagnetic fields with the human body. As such, accurate knowledge of these properties is vital to the design and development of ... -
Architecture for gathering and integrating collaborative information for decision support in emergency situations
(Inderscience, 2018-01-16)The involvement of citizens in supporting crisis situations is no longer a new phenomenon. In the past, the lack of data was one of the main barriers faced by public managers in the decision-making process. Today the ... -
Do as I tweet, not as I do: comparing physical activity data between fitness tweets and Healthy People 2020
