  • Mobile device-based mindfulness intervention promotes emotional regulation during anticipatory stress

    Research Article in EAI Endorsed Transactions on Mobile Communications and Applications 16(9): e1

    Eric Mayor, Liudmila Gamaiunova

Our study (N = 107) is the first to examine the effect of a brief mobile-based mindfulness intervention on the emotional reactions to anticipatory social stress. Results show that the intervention is effective in weakening the increase of negative affect related to anticipatory stress, mostly in men. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

  • Routing Metric based on Slot Length of AODV on Multihop DESYNC-TDMA

However, it could suffer from bottleneck node on the delivery path because the slot is evenly assigned according to the number of neighbors in two hop range. In such a case the routing path having smaller slot length could be chosen due to its shorter hop count. This problem causes performance degradation. In this paper, we propose a routing metric using both slot length and hop count with cross-layer approach. Our scheme improves overall network performance by choosing and updating better route.

  • Distributed Call Admission Control for DESYNC-TDMA in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

It does not require a global clock or other infrastructures, and it automatically adjusts to the number of participating nodes to ensure that the available bandwidth is always fully utilized. In DESYNC-TDMA the time slots assigned to each node are equally allocated according to the number of nodes, and its slots are allocated one over the number of nodes. It is hard to guarantee the certain level of QoS for certain types of traffic. In this paper, we propose Distributed Call Admission Control (D-CAC) for DESYNC protocol, which is able for nodes to control joining the network with distributed manner. Our scheme needs to add only small amount of bit/flag information to the fire messages of DESYNC protocol. Simulation results showed that D-CAC is able to guarantee a certain amount of allocated slots to send its traffic by control not to join the network if congested.

The extensions includes support for Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI), cOntrol and Management Framework (OMF) and OMFMeasurement Library (OML). SCPI is the most widespread interface for measurement equipment control in many areas, for example, electronics or telecommunications. On the other hand, the support of technologies like OMF and OML provides powerful orchestration framework languages which reduces the time required for de ning experiments.

  • Real time event-based segmentation to classify locomotion activities through a single inertial sensor

This technique is based on the use of a shank-mounted inertial sensor incorporating a tri-axial accelerometer and a tri-axial gyroscope, and it is tested on four different locomotion activities: walking, stair ascent, stair descent and running. Gyroscope data along one component are used to dynamically determine the window size for segmentation, and a number of features are then extracted from these segments. The event-based segmentation technique has been compared against three different fixed window size segmentations, in terms of classification accuracy on two different datasets, and with two different feature sets. The dynamic event-based segmentation showed an improvement in terms of accuracy of around 5% (97% vs. 92% and 92% vs. 87%) and 1-2% (89% vs. 87% and 97% vs. 96%) for the two dataset, respectively, thus confirming the need to incorporate an event-based criterion to increase performance in the classification of motion activities.
