The Use of Novel Information Technology in Military Medicine and Mass Casualty Situation Training
Published March 2010Jorma Jokela, a student at the University of Tampere, offers an academic dissertation on several novel information technologies, including short video clips, mobile medical information systems (IS) and RFID, which have become an essential part of education in the modern health-care field. In military medicine, there are special needs for novel technologies, especially when optimizing first aid and initial treatment in challenging field situations. Jokela's thesis studies the use of such technologies in the training of military medicine for mass-casualty scenarios. (126 pages)

Using PNR as a New Approach to Enhancing RFID Channel Security Via Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
Published March 2010Salman Altaf and Mumtaz A. Kamala, of the University of Bradford School of Computing, Information and Media, and Qudoos Yousuf, of Innovation North Leedsmet University, outline how retailers, manufacturers, hospitals, federal agencies and other organizations can use RFID to improve functionality and product quality, and maintain a good checks-and-balances system, without experiencing data security and privacy vulnerabilities. The authors discuss a proposed technique for preventing data leakage and providing protection against eavesdropping and interference, by spreading spectrum over the wideband, utilizing a suitable pseudorandom (PNR) code.
