Robust Detection of Presence of Individuals in an Indoor Environment Using IR-UWB Radar
IEEE Access, 2020 In this paper, we propose a robust detection method to determine the presence of individuals in an indoor environment by exploiting an impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) radar. Detection of the presence of individuals in an indoor environment using IR-

Close contact behaviour in indoor environment and transmission of respiratory infection.
Indoor Air: International Journal of Indoor Environment and Health, 2020 Close contact was first identified as the primary route of transmission for most respiratory infections in the early 20th century. In this review, we synthesise the existing understanding of the mechanisms of close contact transmission.
