TBRA: A scalable routing algorithm in highly mobile large scale pure ad hoc wireless mesh networks
2009
In highly mobile pure ad-hoc wireless mesh networks, fast rerouting within low routing discovery delay is a mandatory requirement for routing algorithm to support interactive applications such as VoIP. Also, the communication overhead should be thwarted when networks grow to a large scale. We propose a Tree-Based Routing Algorithm - TBRA to facilitate such two goals. On one hand, TBRA has very low routing discovery delay due to its proactive property. On the other hand, TBRA performs more efficiently than other proactive protocols with respect to low communication overhead, which thanks to its short routing packet length, less numbers and smaller routing table size. Our modeling analysis an…
A flexible and tunable route discovery mechanism for on-demand protocols
2004
Mobile ad-hoc networks are characterized by multihop wireless links and absence of cellular infrastructure. For the last years, routing has been the area under most intensive research. In particular, on-demand routing protocols proposed are extremely attractive due to their low-overhead and efficiency. Currently, wireless ad-hoc networks lack multipath routing protocols. Multipath routing enables increased QoS support, load balancing and enhanced route stability. In this paper we present a new route discovery solution that increases the number of routes found, while reducing the routing overhead when compared to previous proposals. Simulation results show that the additional routing overhea…
Experimental Characterization of a Double Receiver Dynamic Wireless Charging System
2020
The aim of this work is the characterization of a dynamic wireless charging system low power prototype and the validation of a simplified mathematical model of the employed double D coils. The difference between a single receiver and a dual receiver system is also shown, highlighting how the last one can significantly reduce the costs of the charging infrastructure.
Wearable photoplethysmography device prototype for wireless cardiovascular monitoring
2014
The aim of the study was to develop a prototype system of the smart garment for real time telemetric monitoring of human cardiovascular activity. Two types of photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors for low noise and artefact free signal recording from various sites of the human body that were suitable for integration into smart textile were investigated. The reflectance sensors with single and multiple photodiodes based on "pulse-duration-based signal conversion" signal acquisition principle were designed and evaluated. The technical parameters of the system were measured both on bench and in vivo. Overall, both types of PPG sensors showed acceptable signal quality SNR 86.56±3.00 dB, dynamic ra…

Tratamiento jurídico de una enfermedad social. Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA)
2018
The boundless increase of people suffering from an Eating Disorder (ED), makes necessary to develop measures related to other factors, in order to overcome the ones characterized of being strictly sanitary. The disease has become a social and cultural phenomenon. The exaltation of the cult to the body, with the stereotype of the extreme thinness linked with beauty and success is causing that, particularly young people, try to achieve an image which, in many cases, can jeopardize their health, that is the reason why the rearrangement of values has become an objective of paramount importance. Therefore, the fight against this social illness requires legal actions in order to prevent it from g…
Passive and transpassive behaviour of Alloy 31 in a heavy brine LiBr solution
2013
The passive and transpassive behaviour of Alloy 31, a highly alloyed austenitic stainless steel (UNS N08031), has been investigated in a LiBr heavy brine solution (400 g/l) at 25 °C using potentiostatic polarisation combined with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Mott–Schottky analysis. The passive film formed on Alloy 31 has been found to be p-type and/or n-type in electronic character, depending on the film formation potential. The thickness of the film formed at potentials within the passive region increases linearly with applied potential. The film formed at transpassive potentials is thinner and more conductive than the film formed within the passive region. These observations…

The MOBI-Kids Study Protocol: Challenges in Assessing Childhood and Adolescent Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields from Wireless Telecommunication Tec…
2014
The rapid increase in mobile phone use in young people has generated concern about possible health effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) and extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF). MOBI-Kids, a multinational case–control study, investigates the potential effects of childhood and adolescent exposure to EMF from mobile communications technologies on brain tumor risk in 14 countries. The study, which aims to include approximately 1,000 brain tumor cases aged 10–24 years and two individually matched controls for each case, follows a common protocol and builds upon the methodological experience of the INTERPHONE study. The design and conduct of a study on EMF exposure an…
O przemianach obrzędowości Świąt Wielkanocnych w Polsce (na przykładzie święcenia potraw)
2019
Przedmiotem refleksji są wybrane aspekty dotyczące przeobrażeń obrzędowości Świąt Wielkanocnych w Polsce. W artykule skupiono uwagę przede wszystkim na tradycji święcenia pokarmów w Wielką Sobotę, omówiono dawne i współczesne praktyki zwyczajowe z nią związane. Podstawą opracowań jest dostępna literatura etnograficzna, pilotażowe badania terenowe prowadzone przez autorkę w różnych częściach Polski, w tym głównie w województwach śląskim, opolskim i łódzkim oraz materiały internetowe.
