Service-oriented models for audiovisual content storage

What are the important topics to understand if involved with storage services to hold digital audiovisual content? This report takes a look at how content is created and moves into and out of storage; the storage service value networks and architectures found now and expected in the future; what sort of data transfer is expected to and from an audiovisual archive; what transfer protocols to use; and a summary of security and interface issues

Displacements: modern and contemporary art and the domestic

This thesis investigates and argues for instances in which art and spatial, existential and economic meanings of the domestic can be thought to communicate. In the first part, it introduces and discusses philosophical works which consider and examine implications of the domestic, a historical study of public/private division and certain categorisations of Kantian aesthetics, in order to provide a research context. It focuses on particular works, movements and styles from modern art. The rest of the thesis studies contemporary art works in three groups which are defined according to the disposition of the relationships of art and domestic suggested by those works. This categorization is mainly to propose ways to trace this relationship among the heterogeneity of genres and interests of post-1960s art productions. This thesis attempts to argue that the relationships between art and the domestic is characterised by displacements of the referential frames within which these terms are usually defined and understood

Efficient and secured wireless monitoring systems for detection of cardiovascular diseases

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the number one killer for modern era. Majority of the deaths associated with CVD can entirely be prevented if the CVD struck person is treated with urgency. This thesis is our effort in minimizing the delay associated with existing tele-cardiology application. We harnessed the computational power of modern day mobile phones to detect abnormality in Electrocardiogram (ECG). If abnormality is detected, our innovative ECG compression algorithm running on the patient's mobile phone compresses and encrypts the ECG signal and then performs efficient transmission towards the doctors or hospital services. According to the literature, we have achieved the highest possible compression ratio of 20.06 (95% compression) on ECG signal, without any loss of information. Our 3 layer permutation cipher based ECG encoding mechanism can raise the security strength substantially higher than conventional AES or DES algorithms. If in near future, a grid of supercomputers can compare a trillion trillion trillion (1036) combinations of one ECG segment (comprising 500 ECG samples) per second for ECG morphology matching, it will take approximately 9.333 X 10970 years to enumerate all the combinations. After receiving the compressed ECG packets the doctor's mobile phone or the hospital server authenticates the patient using our proposed set of ECG biometric based authentication mechanisms. Once authenticated, the patients are diagnosed with our faster ECG diagnosis algorithms. In a nutshell, this thesis contains a set of algorithms that can save a CVD affected patient's life by harnessing the power of mobile computation and wireless communication
