Knowledge on symbiotic microorganisms of insects has increased dramatically in recent years, yet relatively little data are available regarding non-pathogenic viruses. Here we studied the virome of the parasitoid wasp Anagyrus vladimiri Triapitsyn (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), a biocontrol agent of mealybugs. By high-throughput sequencing of viral nuc...
With improvements in hardware of antenna receivers, fully digital arrays have been made possible to use in real time systems. These systems have a greater complexity, with the advantage of more dynamic system design since the use of the communication system can be changed with only a software change. Construction of a system capable of bidirectiona...
VNA, a non-profit organization, has been providing care for residents of Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, and South Santa Clara counties since 1951. When the vaccination for COVID-19 came out they began vaccinating those in Monterey County and providing clinics in many different locations where residents could have easier access to a vaccine. Thro...

An increased number of healthcare providers across the continuum of care share responsibility for providing treatment and care to the patient. Treatment is often provided at community-based facilities and not necessarily at the hospital that performed the imaging. As a result, there is an increased dependency on readily available access to a patien...
Volunteer Training Workshop to Improve Companionship Care in Hospice Home Visits Central Coast VNA and Hospice is a non-profit organization that provides care and assistance to individuals in their end-of-life stages in the tri-county area. The macro-level problem is that too many elders face higher levels of loneliness. The micro-level problem is ...
Millimeter wave (mmWave) coverage is relatively limited due to high path loss (PL), that makes radio frequency planning difficult, especially for the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios. In this work, we are looking to improve mmWave signal coverage in NLOS indoor scenario using passive reflectors. Measurements have been performed in L-shaped hallwa...

VNA Hospice of the Central Coast is a nonprofit that was created back in 1951. The staff at VNA are visiting about 75,000 homes per year. Throughout the years the staff have been seeing patients who reached the requirement of having 6 months or less to live. Working with Hospice patients can be hard for everyone but, the staff at VNA are seeing the...
Dans le cadre d’activités cal-val pour des missions d’observation de la Terre et pour l’étude des zones désertiques (paléo-hydrologie), nous développons un système actif hyper-fréquences en bandes C (5-6 GHz) et P(1-2 GHz) porté par drone. L’objectif est de pouvoir acquérir rapidement des profils de rétrodiffusion, type géoradar mais calibrés en am...
Cílem této práce je provést rešerši problematiky diagnostiky nádorů prsu a také navrhnout a realizovat mikrovlnný systém pro detekci pozice nádoru pomocí širokopásmového (UWB) radaru. Tyto poznatky jsem přenesl do simulátoru EM pole a vytvořil numerický model fantomu prsu s kulovým nádorem. V rámci simulací jsem zkoumal vliv počtu antén na rekonstr...
