When Does Alzheimer's Disease Start? Plasma Aβ42/40 Assays Show Steep Changes at Aβ‐PET Centiloid 15, Mean Age of 66 Years

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Sporadic late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a long pre‐clinical phase where amyloid‐beta (Aβ) and tau begin to accumulate in the brain. The primary objective was to determine the age at which AD starts by finding the average population age when both positron emission tomography (PET) Aβ (Aβ‐PET) and plasma Aβ42/40 become ...

An Improved Algorithm to Generate a Wi-Fi Fingerprint Database for Indoor Positioning

open access: yesSensors, 2013
The major problem of Wi-Fi fingerprint-based positioning technology is the signal strength fingerprint database creation and maintenance. The significant temporal variation of received signal strength (RSS) is the main factor responsible for the ...

Default Effect in ESG Investment: When a Recommendation Goes a Long Way

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individual investors display a positive attitude toward ESG investments but typically fail to act upon it. We report results from a preregistered online experiment testing a default option on 1050 US investors examining the mechanisms driving the effectiveness of default options in promoting ESG investments.

Efficacy of energy‐based devices on episiotomy pain and healing: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Episiotomy is a common obstetric procedure often associated with significant postpartum pain and delayed wound healing. Conventional treatments provide limited relief and might not be suitable for all women. Energy‐based therapies, including infrared irradiation and low‐level laser therapy (LLLT), a non‐thermal photo biomodulation ...

Location Estimation Using Space-Time Signal Processing in RFID Wireless Sensor Networks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2013
We consider real-time locating systems (RTLS) consisting of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and multiantenna readers to propose a novel location estimation algorithm based on the concept of space-time signature matching for multipath ...

Indoor Location Sensing with Invariant Wi-Fi Received Signal Strength Fingerprinting

open access: yesSensors, 2016
A method of location fingerprinting based on the Wi-Fi received signal strength (RSS) in an indoor environment is presented. The method aims to overcome the RSS instability due to varying channel disturbances in time by introducing the concept of ...

Joint Ultra-wideband and Signal Strength-based Through-building Tracking for Tactical Operations

open access: yes, 2013
Accurate device free localization (DFL) based on received signal strength (RSS) measurements requires placement of radio transceivers on all sides of the target area. Accuracy degrades dramatically if sensors do not surround the area.

A Comparative Study on the Irrigation Suitability of Kerala's Rivers Using Fuzzy AHP and Conventional Methods

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food security in Kerala depends on effective irrigation, but poor‐quality irrigation water poses threats such as salinity, sodicity and reduced soil productivity. Although past assessments have been localised, this study presents the first comprehensive, statewide evaluation of irrigation water suitability across 44 major rivers in Kerala.
