Open, accurate and efficient communication is the priority for medical systems and as a consequence strong protection costs are traded against the utility benefits for open systems. In this paper we assess the vulnerabilities created by the professional and end user expectations, and theorized ways to mitigate wireless risks. The benefits of wireless medical services are great in terms of efficiencies, mobility and information management. These benefits may be realized by treating the vulnerabilities and reducing the cost of adverse events.","PeriodicalId":297826,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th Annual High Capacity Optical Networks and Emerging/Enabling Technologies (Photonics for Energy)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132036405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing routing approaches, oblivious to location-dependent energy prices, incur considerable cost to network operators. We propose a new routing approach in order to minimize electricity cost of core network under multiple electricity market environments. The proposed approach is based on the advantages of using dynamic routing. We use the available electricity price from power utilities to find lowest electricity cost path while electricity price depends on location diversity and time diversity. Depending on the electricity price, alternative geographical paths in the wide area network may be preferred. We evaluate the new approach on two realistic topologies and results show up to 18 percent improvement in electricity cost compared with two naive routing approaches.","PeriodicalId":297826,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th Annual High Capacity Optical Networks and Emerging/Enabling Technologies (Photonics for Energy)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128641799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the quasi-Gaussian shape of gridline cross section, a mathematical expression of the practical cross section of gridline was implemented instead of the simple rectangular shape. And segmentations of gridlines and busbars were introduced to assess the impact on series resistance and solar cell performance. The advantage of this evaluation can be taken to determine the optimal metal grid design in terms of grid geometries and distributions of metal electrodes. It was found that for an industrial size monocrystalline silicon solar cell with 3 busbars having a width of 1.5 mm, and 92 gridlines of ~50°m width, the optimal segmentation for gridlines should be ~0.67 mm, and for busbars should be the line spacing. A further study reveals that the segmentations in busbars has much larger impact on efficiency than gridlines.","PeriodicalId":297826,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th Annual High Capacity Optical Networks and Emerging/Enabling Technologies (Photonics for Energy)","volume":"3 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131486650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This number is rising fast due to its unchecked spread in rural communities. An accurate Hepatitis surveillance continues to remain a challenge in Pakistan hence making it tough for health professionals, policy makers as well as relevant healthcare to comprehend Hepatitis spread and its burden in rural communities. This paper presents a holistic model for electronic surveillance of Hepatitis in developing countries using web, mobile phone and GIS based technologies. Using the proposed innovative model, Rural Health Workers (including Lady Health Workers- LHWs) and medical practitioners will be using customized mobile services to report and track the Hepatitis patient to our central server. This data will be collated and plotted on GIS map of the areas so that visual picture displaying spread of disease can be monitored. Furthermore, `Contact Tracing' procedure will be applied to track down the origin of the disease as well as Hepatitis exposed personals. This knowledge will play a crucial role for key healthcare stakeholders in designing effective Hepatitis preventive care program as well as understanding its dynamics in rural communities of Pakistan. The model is currently implemented in Zahidabad, a village in Mardan, Kyber Pahktunkhwa, Pakistan. We also discuss Jaroka Tele-Healthcare, Hepatitis surveillance project model, method and results of electronic surveillance conducted across 14 villages in rural Mardan.","PeriodicalId":297826,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th Annual High Capacity Optical Networks and Emerging/Enabling Technologies (Photonics for Energy)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131352882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
