TL;DR: This article surveys the existing and emerging technologies that can enable this vision for the future of healthcare, particularly, in the clinical practice of healthcare and discusses the emerging directions, open issues, and challenges.
Abstract: In combination with current sociological trends, the maturing development of Internet of Things devices is projected to revolutionize healthcare. A network of body-worn sensors, each with a unique ID, can collect health data, that is, orders-of-magnitude richer than what is available today from sporadic observations in clinical/hospital environments. When databased, analyzed, and compared against information from other individuals using data analytics, Healthcare Internet of Things data enables the personalization and modernization of care with radical improvements in outcomes and reductions in cost. In this article, we survey the existing and emerging technologies that can enable this vision for the future of healthcare, particularly, in the clinical practice of healthcare. Three main technology areas underlie the development of this field: 1) sensing, where there is an increased drive for miniaturization and power efficiency; 2) communications, where the enabling factors are ubiquitous connectivity, standardized protocols, and the wide availability of cloud infrastructure; and 3) data analytics and inference, where the availability of large amounts of data and computational resources is revolutionizing algorithms for individualizing inference and actions in health management. Throughout this article, we use a case study to concretely illustrate the impact of these trends. We conclude this article with a discussion of the emerging directions, open issues, and challenges.

TL;DR: The CS based encryption is found to have fair robustness against additive noise, making it a promising ldquorobust encryptionrdquo technique for multimedia.
Abstract: The compressed sensing (CS) paradigm unifies sensing and compression of sparse signals in a simple linear measurement step. Reconstruction of the signal from the CS measurements relies on the knowledge of the measurement matrix used for sensing. Generation of the pseudo-random sensing matrix utilizing a cryptographic key, offers a natural method for encrypting the signal during CS. This CS based encryption has the inherent advantage that encryption occurs implicitly in the sensing process - without requiring additional computation. Additionally, the robustness of recovery from compressed sensing, allows a new form of ldquorobust encryptionrdquo for multimedia data, wherein the signal is recoverable with high fidelity despite the introduction of additive noise in the encrypted data. In this paper, we examine the security and robustness of this CS based encryption method. The security implications are investigated by considering brute force and structured attacks. Robustness is characterized empirically. Our analysis and results indicate that the computational complexity of these attacks renders them infeasible in practice. In addition, the CS based encryption is found to have fair robustness against additive noise, making it a promising ldquorobust encryptionrdquo technique for multimedia.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: SPAdes as mentioned in this paper is a new assembler for both single-cell and standard (multicell) assembly, and demonstrate that it improves on the recently released E+V-SC assembler and on popular assemblers Velvet and SoapDeNovo (for multicell data).
Abstract: The lion's share of bacteria in various environments cannot be cloned in the laboratory and thus cannot be sequenced using existing technologies. A major goal of single-cell genomics is to complement gene-centric metagenomic data with whole-genome assemblies of uncultivated organisms. Assembly of single-cell data is challenging because of highly non-uniform read coverage as well as elevated levels of sequencing errors and chimeric reads. We describe SPAdes, a new assembler for both single-cell and standard (multicell) assembly, and demonstrate that it improves on the recently released E+V-SC assembler (specialized for single-cell data) and on popular assemblers Velvet and SoapDeNovo (for multicell data). SPAdes generates single-cell assemblies, providing information about genomes of uncultivatable bacteria that vastly exceeds what may be obtained via traditional metagenomics studies. SPAdes is available online ( http://bioinf.spbau.ru/spades ). It is distributed as open source software.
