VSTP: vessel spatio-temporal contact pattern detection based on MapReduce [PDF]
EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2017 Due to lack of the coverage of 3G/4G network, satellite communication which costs excessively is the main approach used in ocean to provide network service. Ocean mobile delay tolerant network (OMDTN) can provide low-cost data transmission service in the

Characteristics and Pattern of Plasma Generated at Sliding Contact [PDF]
Journal of Tribology, 2003 To verify the tribo-microplasma concept proposed by Nakayama, who suggested that a microplasma is generated in the gap of a sliding contact due to electrical discharge of the ambient gas in the electric field caused by tribo-charging, we challenged to observe directly the tribo-microplasma and to measure spectral characteristics of the emitted photons.

Changes in adhesive ingredients in continuous glucose monitoring systems may induce new contact allergy pattern [PDF]
, 2021 Background: Medical devices (MD) in close skin-contact for a prolonged time, such as glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, are a risk factor for contact allergy, and there has been an increase in patients using these.

The impact of contact tracing in clustered populations [PDF]
, 2010 The tracing of potentially infectious contacts has become an important part of the control strategy for many infectious diseases, from early cases of novel infections to endemic sexually transmitted infections. Here, we make use of mathematical models to

Defining True Tribological Contact Through Application of the Morphological Method to Surface Topography [PDF]
, 2013 In tribological functions high peaks (summits) in the surface topography play a dominant role in that they determine the position of first contact and how the contact will occur.

Patterns of human social contact and contact with animals in Shanghai, China [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractEast Asia is as a principal hotspot for emerging zoonotic infections. Understanding the likely pathways for their emergence and spread requires knowledge on human-human and human-animal contacts, but such studies are rare. We used self-completed and interviewer-completed contact diaries to quantify patterns of these contacts for 965 individuals

Quantifying heterogeneous contact patterns in Japan: a social contact survey [PDF]
Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling, 2019 Social contact surveys can greatly help in quantifying the heterogeneous patterns of infectious disease transmission. The present study aimed to conduct a contact survey in Japan, offering estimates of contact by age and location and validating a social contact matrix using a seroepidemiological dataset of influenza.An internet-based questionnaire ...
