The human knee joint is the largest and most complex joint of the human body. The interdependencies encountered in the musculoskeletal system are crucial in understanding musculoskeletal conditions. Patient-specific models are promising methods to unravel clinical diagnosis. However, as the range of medical and experimental data is expanding, it has become a challenge to integrate...

We propose the extraction of musculoskeletal structures (bones, muscles) from the lower limb, following three main objectives: development of an MRI protocol, processing and labelling of the image data, and the exploitation of multi-channel data during the segmentation of individual muscles. We propose an MR acquisition protocol that generates seamless, high-resolution images of...

Nowadays BYOD and mobile work are a reality even if they challenge traditional security perimeters and risk management that mainly focus on the threats that these mobile opportunities create. They do not consider their potential benefits, e.g., if a user cannot work when being paid then the productivity is lower. It is the reason that in this paper we introduce a new risk management...

Wireless networks today are partially being formed by nodes (e.g. Internet access points, smartphones, femtocells) that are owned and carried by humans. In such scenarios where several strangers are expected to interact for the sake of robust data transmission, trust and cooperation incentives are of vital importance as these establish a way for the nodes involved in the system to...

The complexities of international intellectual property litigation (including jurisdictional issues, choice of law, lis pendens, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments) contribute to explain why arbitration and alternative dispute resolution systems constitute an attractive method for solving intellectual property disputes. At a time when the European Union has...

The growing importance of intellectual property assets in today’s economy and transnational business transactions, the complexities and disadvantages of intellectual property litigation before state courts as well as the attractiveness of ADR solutions as such (particularly in terms of confidentiality of expertise) explain why arbitration and other alternative dispute resolution...
