Fast Authentication in a Collaborative Wireless Access Network

In this paper, we propose a novel inter-domain fast-authentication scheme based on a concept of "trust clouds". A trust cloud is formed among neighbouring access points based on a relationship among the owners of the access points. Fast-authentication for inter-domain sites is achieved through cooperation among the trust cloud members. The approach is distributed without a central authentication s

Physical bounds and summation rules in antenna theory

Although the concept of physical bounds for electrically small antennas was first introduced more than half a century ago by Wheeler and Chu it continuous to receive attention and still there is only a partial knowledge of these bounds. Most of the research effort in this field are based on the ideas of a stored energy in the different partial waves as introduced by Chu and, hence, suffers from th

Discourse markers and the segmentation of spontaneous speech - The case of Swedish men 'but/and/so'

Prosodic and lexical correlates of ‘clause-like’ and ‘paragraph-like’ boundaries associated with the Swedish discourse marker men ‘but/and/so’ are examined. Men-tokens in spontaneous monologues were labelled as to their boundary-status, first using text-only data. The ‘strong’ tokens (labelled identically by all labellers) were subsequently seen to be correlated with clear differences in the proso

Intelligent reduction of nuisance alarms in process control

The proper handling of alarms is crucial to automated process control. Fault Detection and Isolation techniques have been widely researched to determine such alarms. In practice, many alarms are only distractive and do not represent a fault situation. Here a toolbox, that uses an expert system called LARA, is proposed that aims to reduce the occurrence of so-called nuisance alarms. It is based on

Peatlands at a Threshold: Greenhouse Gas Dynamics in a Changing Climate

To be able to predict the strength of climate change and its consequences for mankind, it is of major importance to understand the contemporary greenhouse gas exchange of the terrestrial biosphere, as well as its response to changes in climate. To achieve such understanding both descriptive studies and manipulation experiments are required. Northern peatlands represent an important ecosystem type
