- ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiment devoted to investigating the strongly interacting matter created in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC energies. The ALICE ITS, Inner Tracking System, consists of six cylindrical layers of silicon detectors with three different technologies; in the outward direction: two layers of pixel detectors, two layers each of drift, and strip detectors. The number of parameters to be determined in the spatial alignment of the 2198 sensor modules of the ITS is about 13,000. The target alignment precision is well below 10 mu m in some cases (pixels). The sources of alignment information include survey measurements, and the reconstructed tracks from cosmic rays and from proton-proton collisions. The main track-based alignment method uses the Millepede global approach. An iterative local method was developed and used as well. We present the results obtained for the ITS alignment using about 10(5) charged tracks from cosmic rays that have been collected during summer 2008, with the ALICE solenoidal magnet switched off.

- In this work cradle to grave life cycle assessment of printed electronics resources have been presented. An attempt has been made to investigate and evaluate the life cycle assessment and environmental impacts of printed electronics resources such as polymer substrate-printed RFID antenna. Life cycle inventory analysis for these resources has been carried out to quantify total systems' inputs and outputs that are relevant to the environmental impacts especially emissions to air, fresh water, industrial soil and sea water. The results show that printed electronics materials are considerably more environment friendly than materials needed for PCB electronics. We have obtained the mass of emissions in each life cycle stages which verify that technology wise printed antenna causes less harmful and hazardous impacts to the environment.

- This paper presents information and communication system technological development towards personalized and pervasive healthcare systems. In the recent years, information and communication technology has been providing an innovative health care solution to the society. With the massive increase in aging and stressed population, the health care solutions necessitate the use of more in-home monitoring and tracking system. In this paper, we have gathered the data from early 1970s to present date in terms of information and communication technology’s developments, use of wireless communication systems, and state-of-art of body area sensor network in personalized and pervasive health care. We have also put an effort to present our work in developing a robust, privacy compliant, accurate and cost-effective system that facilitates monitoring of patient status, patient activity and compliance with therapy. The proposed system will also be capable in developing patient-oriented services to support patient empowerment, self-care, adherence to care plans and treatment at the point of need.

- This paper presents quantitative analysis of environmental emissions in different life cycle stages such as raw material preparation (RMP) and production processing (PP) of printed circuit board. A general emission model for printed circuit board (PCB) has been developed to analyze the emissions to air, fresh water, sea water and industrial soil. This work also demonstrates the quantities of renewable and non-renewable resources that are required to manufacture PCBs. Based on these generic models, the environmental assessment has been carried out in a production of one million PCBs. We also make an attempt to give an analytic description for evaluating the amount of emissions in each life cycle stages of the printed circuit board.
