An investigation into the effects of pH and material concentrations on the morphology of Chitosan-Alginate microspheres prepared using an Ionic Gelation technique.
(IJASRM, 2017-10)The aim of this study was to develop microspheres as a drug delivery system using natural polymeric materials including Alginate and Chitosan using an Ionotropic Gelation method of synthesis. In this study, several ... -
User-profile-based olfactory and visual media synchronization.
(ACM, 201-01)As a step towards enhancing users’ perceived multimedia quality levels, the authors present the results of a study which looked at user’s perception of inter-stream synchronization between scent and video. The ability to ... -
Olfaction-enhanced multimedia: a survey application domains, displays and research challenges.
(ACM, 2016-05)Recently, the concept of olfaction-enhanced multimedia applications has gained traction as a step towards further enhancing user quality of experience. The next generation of rich media services will be immersive and ... -
The impact of scent type on olfaction-enhanced multimedia quality of experience.
(IEEE, 2017-09)In the quest to increase user perceived Quality of Experience (QoE), the classic audio-visual content paradigm can be extended to include media components that stimulate other human senses. Among these, olfaction-enhanced ... -
Affective computing using speech and eye gaze: a review and bimodal system proposal for continuous affect prediction.
(2018)Speech has been a widely used modality in the field of affective computing. Recently however, there has been a growing interest in the use of multi-modal affective computing systems. These multi-modal systems incorporate ... -
Subjective evaluation of olfactory and visual media synchronization.
(ACM, 2013)As a step towards enhancing users' perceived multimedia quality levels beyond the level offered by the classic audiovisual systems, the authors present the results of an experimental study which looked at user's perception ... -
Multiple-scent enhanced multimedia synchronization.
(ACM, 2014-09)This study looked at users' perception of inter-stream synchronization between audiovisual media and two olfactory streams. The ability to detect skews, and the perception and impact of skews on user quality of experience ... -
Age and gender influences on perceived olfactory and visual media synchronization.
(IEEE, 2013)Lately, significant efforts have being put into proposing various solutions for increasing multimedia viewers’ perceived quality levels. One innovative avenue is to enhance users’ quality of experience (QoE) by extending ... -
Application of Immersive technologies for education: state of the art.
(IEEE, 2015)Existing multimedia systems used in education mostly address only two senses by using two communication channels (visual and audio) of the five human senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch), limiting the potential ... -
PIoT: Programmable IoT using Information Centric Networking.
(IEEE, 2016)The Internet of Things (IoT) places significant demands on network infrastructure in order to process data captured by ubiquitous sensor devices. One existing technique to support this sensor data processing involves ... -
An evaluation of heart rate and electrodermal activity as an objective QoE evaluation method for immersive virtual reality environments.
(IEEE, 2016)Recently, we have seen an emergence of affordable Head Mounted Displays (HMD) such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and the PS4 Project Morpheus which allow users to experience 3D virtual reality (VR). These types of hardware ... -
The influence of human factors on olfaction based mulsemedia quality of experience.
(IEEE, 2016)With the aim to enrich users’ perceived multimedia experience, the authors present the results of an empirical study which looked at user perception of olfaction based mulsemedia. The goal is to evaluate the influence ... -
CS-Man: computation service management for IoT in-network processing.
(2016)The Internet of Things (IoT) expects to link billions of devices to the Internet, which will produce massive amounts of data. Current approaches move the IoT data out of the network for processing. It results in long delays ... -
Subjective evaluation of an olfaction enhanced immersive virtual reality environment.
(ACM, 2017-10)Recent1 research efforts have reported findings on user Quality of Experience (QoE) of immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences. Truly immersive multimedia experiences also include multisensory components such as ... -
Development of synthetic alternatives for bone tissue engineering.
(Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2013)Due to the inherent limitations of current biological bone grafts, alternative synthetic substitutes are being pursued. Therefore, this study aimed to improve the bioactive and compressive properties of photopolymerisable ... -
Effect of Chemical Treatments and HDPE-g-MA on the physical and mechanical behaviour of HDPE/ natural fibre composites.
(2013)Many authors have reported on the use of natural fibres (raw or chemically modified) as reinforcing elements for high density polyethylene (HDPE). These materials have generated a lot of interest due to their low cost ... -
The preparation of nanocomposite scaffolds for use in bone tissue engineering.
(AJBAS, 2013)Bone is the second most frequently transplanted tissue in humans. There are 2.2 million bone graft procedures annually, which have several disadvantages such as: donor site morbidity, risk of disease transmission and a ... -
Processing and characterisation of various polymer blends to develop implant for tissue engineering applications.
(AESS, 2013)In the past two decades, the repair and reconstruction of musculoskeletal tissues using biodegradable scaffold materials has emerged as one of the most promising approaches in tissue engineering. The aim of this study ... -
Fall detection system by machine learning framework for public health.
(Elsevier, 2018-11)The elderly population is growing every year in Brazil. Consequently, health risks in elderly is a concern for public health system. During the aging process, the mobility is affected, and falls are more frequent causing ...
