Chapter Securing the Home Energy Management Platform
(2016)
Recently, many efforts have been done to chemically functionalize sensors surface to achieve selectivity towards diagnostics targets, such as DNA, RNA fragments and protein tumoural biomarkers, through the surface ...
Chapter Photocatalytic Properties of Commercially Available TiO2 Powders for Pollution Control
(2016)
Infrared (IR) radiation comprises a beam located in the electromagnetic radiation family; it arises from the thermal vibrations of radiation that have longer wavelengths than visible light, but shorter wavelengths than ...
Chapter Nanotoxicity in cancer research: technical protocols and tips considerations for the use of 3D tumour spheroids
(2018)
The poor clinical translation of oncological nanomedicine products is one of the greatest challenges faced by research today. The use of reductionist in vitro models of human cancer and non-predictive animal models is ...
Chapter Ultrafast Time‐Resolved Measurements of Hybrid Solar Cells
(2017)
The early time charge carrier dynamics in quantum dot‐sensitized and organo‐metal halide perovskite solar cells are presented in this chapter. Using transient spectroscopy techniques, i.e., absorption, photoluminescence, ...
Chapter Adaptive Automation and the Third Pilot
(2018)
Currently, automation does not take into consideration the cognitive and emotional state of the crew. Rather, automation provides assistance based on explicit and static task assignments, with no adaptive capabilities, ...
Chapter Digital All-Optical Physical-Layer Network Coding
(2018)
Network coding (NC) has recently attracted intense research focus for its potential to provide network throughput enhancements, security and reduced network congestions, improving in this way the overall network performance ...
Chapter Unmanned Ground Robots for Rescue Tasks
(2017)
This chapter describes two unmanned ground vehicles that can help search and rescue teams in their difficult, but life-saving tasks. These robotic assets have been developed within the framework of the European project ...
Chapter User-Centered Design
(2017)
The successful introduction and acceptance of novel technological tools are only possible if end users are completely integrated in the design process. However, obtaining such integration of end users is not obvious, as ...
Chapter Unmanned Aerial Systems
(2017)
Unmanned aerial platforms are a means to gather efficiently valuable aerial information to support the crisis manager for further tactical planning and deployment. They can provide continuous support to the coordinators ...
Chapter Unmanned Maritime Systems for Search and Rescue
(2017)
The development of maritime unmanned tools for search and rescue operations is not a trivial task. A great part of maritime unmanned systems developed did not target such application, being more focused on environmental ...
Chapter ICARUS Training and Support System
(2017)
The ICARUS unmanned tools act as gatherers, which acquire enormous amount of information. The management of all these data requires the careful consideration of an intelligent support system. This chapter discusses the ...
