Understanding drivers' behavior under various challenging situations, to avoid accidents, is considered a key research area in the field of safety for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Various events (stressors) occurring while driving vehicles may negatively impact drivers' ability to detect and react to unpredictable incident that can possibly cause accidents. A cooperative stress detection system, in which drivers stress levels are continuously monitored and anonymously disseminated to other vehicles and to roadside units (RSUs), may contribute to the early detection of potentially dangerous situations and road's critical sections, thus increasing road safety. Therefore, this paper presents an experimental assessment on the feasibility of such visionary system. For this purpose, we estimate the driver emotional state relying on previously identified user emotional profiles and stress modeling techniques. The envisioned cooperative stress detection system is integrated with eCall system and vehicular communications based on the IEEE 802.11p/ETSI ITS G5, to communicate with on-board units (OBU) of other vehicles and roadside units (RSU). The eCall system is mainly used to inform the public health authorities and ensure on-time medical assistance. Real-world tests, consisting six drivers and two different cities, are performed to validate the functionality of the proposed system.
了解驾驶员在各种挑战情况下的行为，以避免事故发生，是智能交通系统安全领域的一个重要研究方向。驾驶车辆时发生的各种事件(压力源)可能会对驾驶员检测和应对可能导致事故的不可预测事件的能力产生负面影响。合作压力检测系统可以持续监测驾驶员的压力水平，并匿名向其他车辆和路边单位(rsu)传播，这可能有助于及早发现潜在的危险情况和道路的关键路段，从而提高道路安全。因此，本文对该视觉系统的可行性进行了实验评估。为此，我们根据先前确定的用户情绪概况和压力建模技术来估计驾驶员的情绪状态。设想中的协同应力检测系统与eCall系统和基于IEEE 802.11p/ETSI ITS G5的车载通信集成在一起，与其他车辆的车载单元(OBU)和路边单元(RSU)进行通信。呼叫系统主要用于通知公共卫生当局并确保及时的医疗援助。为了验证该系统的功能，我们在两个不同的城市进行了六名司机的实际测试。

In this paper, energy efficient transmit antenna selection in underlay cognitive radio (CR) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems from a cross layer perspective, is investigated. Conventional energy efficient antenna selection optimizes an energy efficiency (EE) metric defined in terms of the system capacity and energy consumption, making it a physical layer criterion. In this work, we propose an EE metric that is defined in terms of the system throughput and energy consumption. Throughput considers characteristics from the data link and physical layers, making the proposed EE metric a cross layer quantity. The subset of transmit antennas that maximizes the proposed EE criterion, subject to interference constraints at the primary user receiver (PU RX), is selected. Additionally, the proposed algorithm optimizes the EE by adapting the number of active transmit antennas and transmit power, under a spectral efficiency constraint. A sub-optimal reduced complexity iterative algorithm is also developed. Simulation results show that the cross layer approach results in overall improved system performance, measured in terms of throughput, packet error rate and transmit power, as compared to conventional energy efficient antenna selection.

This paper demonstrates a wideband complementary LC-VCO using capacitive-source-degeneration (CSD) technique for WiFi and LTE applications. A cross-coupling pair is required to generate suitable-gm but the parasitic capacitance of the pair leads to a reduction of capacitance ratio of varactors and thus, tuning range of a VCO. Properly designing source-degeneration capacitance can relieve this reduction and optimum capacitance is discussed in this paper. The chip is fabricated in 180 nm CMOS and has a chip area of 0.43 mm2. The measured oscillation frequency is from 2.22 GHz to 2.94 GHz (27.9 %) and the lowest phase noise is −122.5 dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset at 2.87 GHz. The core power dissipation is 3.6 mW from a supply voltage of 1.8 V and FOM of −186 dBc/Hz is achieved.

This paper presents an idea of using an Electronically Steerable Parasitic Antenna Radiator (ESPAR) for jamming suppression in IEEE 802.11b networks. Jamming (intentional interference) attacks are known to be effective and easy to perform, which may impose connectivity problems in applications concerning Internet of Things (IoT). In our paper, theoretical considerations are presented and the results of experiments performed in anechoic chamber are examined. During the test, IEEE 802.11b standard was used to provide communication between transmitter and receiver, and Software Defined Radio (SDR) device, which was used as a source of an intentional interference (jammer). The results showed that connectivity during jamming attack can be improved by using switched-beam antenna enhancing system's bandwidth.

A rigorous but still feasible computational approach is implemented that aims to provide a fundamental theoretical basis for an in-depth understanding of vibrational spectroscopic properties of molecular systems relevant to atmospheric chemistry and climate science. The mentioned properties are, on the other hand, crucial in the context of experimental detection of the title molecular species and their noncovalently bonded clusters. Rotamers of formic acid are treated as particular example. Potential energy surface of free formic acid was thoroughly explored at Möller-Plesset perturbation theory level, including corrections up to the second order with a rather flexible basis set for orbital expansion (MP2/6–311++G(3df, 3pd)), as well as employing density functional tight binding approach (DFTB). Anharmonic O-H(D) stretching vibrational frequencies were calculated using several algorithms. It was found that MP2 level of theory leads to excellent agreement between theory and experiment without using any arbitrary scaling factor when the difference between O-H(D) stretching frequencies in the case of both rotamers is in question. DFTB performs significantly inferior to MP2 with this respect, while reproducing the absolute frequencies of individual rotamers rather well. Fully relaxed HCOH torsional potential was calculated as well and the frequencies of HCOH torsion in the cis- and trans-well were calculated either by solving the torsional Schrödinger equation variationally or by second-order perturbation theory. The agreement between theory and experiment is again excellent in cases when experimental data are available.

This paper presents the design of a current control system for a single-phase grid-tied inverter equipped with a LCL grid-side filter, which is suitable for inverter DC current component suppression. For that purpose, a proportional-resonant (PR) controller of principal harmonic current component has been designed. This is followed by the design of DC current component estimator based on second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) concept, which is used for DC current suppression by means of a dedicated proportional-integral (PI) controller. Both the PR and PI controllers are designed based on the damping optimum criterion, which results in straightforward analytical expressions for controller parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed dual-current controller-based system is verified by means of simulations.

This paper presents a new, linear algorithm for performing the roll operation on binary trees. Based on the inorder tree traversal, this algorithm has a very simple structure and achieves linear time and space complexity. A detailed analysis of this algorithm is presented, showing how its design contributes to a more streamlined operation and an improved time complexity over the original — and only other known to the authors — binary tree roll algorithm. A practical implementation of both algorithms is benchmarked by counting the minimum and maximum numbers of basic operations, as well as measuring the minimum and maximum amounts of memory space required by the algorithms to run to completion, across all binary tree topologies with progressively increasing numbers of nodes. Results obtained from this empirical analysis quantify the best-and worst-case complexities of both algorithms and show how the improved algorithm outperforms the original one asymptotically, particularly in regards to their time complexity.

In this paper, we present a new loT-based health monitoring approach in which collected medical sensor data is sent to an analysis module via low-cost, low-power and secure communication links provided by a LoRaWAN network infrastructure. We mainly focus on monitoring blood pressure, glucose and temperature in rural areas where cellular network coverage is either absent or does not allow data transmission. The main objective is to reduce the burden of long trips for people living in these areas to visit healthcare facilities, while minimizing the communication cost. Several experiments have been conducted to evaluate the area covered by the LoRa network and the power consumption of our system. The results indicate that the average area covered is around 33 km2 when the LoRa Gateway is placed outdoor on a 12 meter altitude. Moreover, the results demonstrate that the power consumption of our monitoring system is at least ten times lower than other long range cellular solutions, such as GPRS/3G/4G.

eHealth technology can bring a variety of benefits to patients, caregivers, and health institutions, by facilitating improved healthcare services through the utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The forthcoming generation of healthcare services will require advances in computing and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in order to leverage truly intelligent and adaptive features for smarter eHealth services. This paper proposes a multi-sensory cloud based system capable of monitoring and tracking the patient's behavior with respect to his vital signs. The paper also showcases the proposed system on a real testbed, performing real-time vital signs data acquisition, processing, and monitoring.
