To address this problem, one has to look at (i) societal changes and future developments, (ii) changes in health care as such and (iii) the linkage between these two.In this respect we must realize that we are living in an era where economic, technological, demographic, social and political changes are accelerating.The interface between these chang
Early-season crop mapping provides decision-makers with timely information on crop types and conditions that are crucial for agricultural management.Current satellite-based mapping solutions mainly rely on optical imagery, albeit limited by weather conditions.Very few exploit long-time series of polarized synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery.To a
We consider the problem of autonomously locating a number of asynchronous sensor nodes in a wireless network.A strong focus lies on reducing the processing resources needed to solve the relative positioning problem, an issue of great interest in resource-constrained wireless sensor networks.In the first part of the paper, based on a well-known deri
Over the past 2,500 years, contemplative traditions have explored the nature of the mind using meditation.More recently, neuroimaging research on meditation has revealed differences in brain function and structure in Tension Knob meditators.Nevertheless, the underlying neural mechanisms are still unclear.In order to understand how meditation shapes
