Telehealth services may improve access to care, but there are concerns around whether availability of telehealth may increase care utilization. We assessed whether usage of telehealth was associated with differential primary care utilization at a large ...

Spectrum-Aggregating Cognitive Multi-Antenna User with Multiple Primary Users
We investigate a cognitive radio scenario involving a single cognitive transmitter equipped with K antennas sharing the spectrum with M primary users (PUs) transmitting over orthogonal bands. Each terminal has a queue to store its incoming traffic. We propose a novel protocol where the cognitive user transmits its packet over a channel formed by the ...

On the coexistence of a primary user with an energy harvesting secondary user: a case of cognitive cooperation [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper, we consider a cognitive scenario where an energy harvesting secondary user shares the spectrum with a primary user. The secondary source helps the primary source in delivering its undelivered packets during periods of silence of the primary source. The primary source has a queue for storing its data packets, whereas the secondary

Examination of the risk of reinfection with hepatitis C among injecting drug users who have been tested in Glasgow [PDF]
Unsafe injecting practices put injecting drug users (IDUs) at repeat exposure to infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It has not yet been determined if spontaneously clearing one's primary infection influences the risk of reinfection; our aim was ...

Matching Theory Based Physical Layer Secure Transmission Strategy for Cognitive Radio Networks
In this paper, a cooperative secure transmission strategy is proposed for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) comprising of multiple primary users (PUs), multiple secondary users (SUs) and malicious eavesdroppers.

On spectrum sharing between energy harvesting cognitive radio users and primary users [PDF]
This paper investigates the maximum secondary throughput for a rechargeable secondary user (SU) sharing the spectrum with a primary user (PU) plugged to a reliable power supply. The SU maintains a finite energy queue and harvests energy from natural resources and primary radio frequency (RF) transmissions. We propose a power allocation policy at the PU

The extent of injection site infection in injecting drug users: findings from a national surveillance study. [PDF]
Injection site infections in injecting drug users (IDUs) are associated with serious morbidity and healthcare costs. Factors associated with symptoms of these were examined through annual (2006-2008) unlinked-anonymous survey of IDUs in England, Wales ...
