Performance Evaluation of Carrier-Frequency Offset as a Radiometric Fingerprint in Time-Varying Channels.

The authentication of wireless devices through physical layer attributes has attracted a fair amount of attention recently. Recent work in this area has examined various features extracted from the wireless signal to either identify a uniqueness in the channel between the transmitter-receiver pair or more robustly identify certain transmitter behaviors unique to certain devices originating from imperfect hardware manufacturing processes. In particular, the carrier frequency offset (CFO), induced due to the local oscillator mismatch between the transmitter and receiver pair, has exhibited good detection capabilities in stationary and low-mobility transmission scenarios.

Development and validation of a reverse phase HPLC-DAD method for separation, detection & quantification of rutin and quercetin in buckwheat ( spp).

Buckwheat has tremendous nutraceutical potential owing to its rutin and quercetin content. The aim of this study was to optimise and validate an analytical method for separating and quantifying these two flavonoids from it. Factors, such as range, linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection and limit of quantification, were evaluated for the two compounds using high performance liquid chromatography.

Recognition of Emotion Intensities Using Machine Learning Algorithms: A Comparative Study.

Over the past two decades, automatic facial emotion recognition has received enormous attention. This is due to the increase in the need for behavioral biometric systems and human-machine interaction where the facial emotion recognition and the intensity of emotion play vital roles. The existing works usually do not encode the intensity of the observed facial emotion and even less involve modeling the multi-class facial behavior data jointly.

Facial Emotion Recognition: A Survey and Real-World User Experiences in Mixed Reality.

Extensive possibilities of applications have made emotion recognition ineluctable and challenging in the field of computer science. The use of non-verbal cues such as gestures, body movement, and facial expressions convey the feeling and the feedback to the user. This discipline of Human-Computer Interaction places reliance on the algorithmic robustness and the sensitivity of the sensor to ameliorate the recognition.

Impact of Cross-Tie Properties on the Modal Behavior of Cable Networks on Cable-Stayed Bridges.

Dynamic behaviour of cable networks is highly dependent on the installation location, stiffness, and damping of cross-ties. Thus, these are the important design parameters for a cable network. While the effects of the former two on the network response have been investigated to some extent in the past, the impact of cross-tie damping has rarely been addressed.

Discordance of international adiposity classifications in Australian boys and girls - the LOOK study.

Background: Various charts based on body mass index (BMI) and per cent body fat (%BF) are used to classify childhood body composition but outcomes may vary.

Aim: The study investigated variation in incidences of childhood obesity as depicted by four classification charts.

Subjects And Methods: BMI and DXA-derived %BF were assessed in 741 children.

The lifestyle of our kids (LOOK) project: outline of methods.

This methods paper outlines the overall design of a community-based multidisciplinary longitudinal study with the intent to stimulate interest and communication from scientists and practitioners studying the role of physical activity in preventive medicine. In adults, lack of regular exercise is a major risk factor in the development of chronic degenerative diseases and is a major contributor to obesity, and now we have evidence that many of our children are not sufficiently active to prevent early symptoms of chronic disease. The lifestyle of our kids (LOOK) study investigates how early physical activity contributes to health and development, utilizing a longitudinal design and a cohort of eight hundred and thirty 7-8-year-old (grade 2) school children followed to age 11-12 years (grade 6), their average family income being very close to that of Australia.

Cerebellar hypoperfusion in infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy.

An identical abnormal pattern was detected by means of (99m)Tc-hexamethyl-propyleneamine-oxime single-photon emission computed tomography in two siblings with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy. The markedly decreased cerebellar perfusion, along with the early motor symptoms, characteristic magnetic resonance imaging and pathologic findings, points to a preferential cerebellar involvement in this disease. A relative increase in the perfusion to the basal ganglia correlated with the magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities, highly resembling that of Hallervorden-Spatz disease in one of the males, at this site.
