Sport related mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), generally known as a concussion, is a worldwide critical public health concern nowadays. Despite growing concern emphasized by scientific research and recent media presentation regarding mTBI and its effect in athletics life, the management, and prevention of mTBI are still not properly done. The evaluation mainly hampered due to the lack of proper...
Understanding the shopping and purchasing behaviours of customers is an essential task for business and retail organizations. While customers look for useful information from retailers as they shop, businesses seek to collect increasing amounts of data in order to deliver added value to their customers. This requires an intensive analysis of sales data. Extracting shopping patterns across the many...
the focal idea of following paper is to introduce a system which is more usable and efficient to detect and recognize the vehicle number plate in Pakistani scenario. There are always some constraints in which an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system work. The challenges include poor illumination, camera speed and variable background. In this paper, we propose a method where distinct feature...
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are considered as one of the promising technologies for reduction of accidents and provisioning of infotainment services on the road. Due to high mobility of vehicles, wireless channel response rapidly changes from time to time which results into random fading. Therefore, this paper provides in depth analysis of performance of VANETs under different fading channels...
Wireless Body Area Networks (BANs) have drawn significant attention of research community all over the world due to their applications in healthcare. This paper adopts the cluster based approach to analytically model the implications of inter-body interference in BANs. To be specific, we derive exact closed-form expression for outage probability for co-channel interference under Rayleigh and Rician...
Regression testing is an important activity performed to ensure thatchanges in the baseline version of the system do not influence thealready tested part of the system. It becomes difficult to run the entiretest suite due to constrained or limited resources. A subset of test casesthat is as efficient as the original test suite is searched as optimal suite.Computational intelligence approaches has...
Systems are frequently regression tested for frequently occurring changes due to corrective, preventive, adaptive or perfective actions. Regression testing is used to prevent the undesired effect of these changes on the previously tested version. Due to these changes, new test cases become part of the test suite making it huge and inefficient for ‘retest all’ strategy. The ultimate solution of this...
The purpose of this study was to develop an algorithm to support the decisions of expert physicians in the management of wound healing. The goal was to work towards the development of an image processing algorithm for quantifying the progress of healing of skin wounds. For this algorithm development, multiple wound images were obtained from patients in clinical settings to monitor the status of wound...
Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems provide a device for communication that does not depend on the brain's normal output and peripheral nerves. Recently, BCIs have attracted massive attention, triggered by new scientific progress in understanding brain function and by impressive applications. This paper will study steps in the regular BCI system, various BCI systems, methods used in processing...
The paper consider oxygen contamination of HCPA ALD grown GaN films under an air conditioning and during different time duration. High resolution XPS analysis of HCPA ALD grown GaN films after diluted 1:10 HF(41 %) : H2O and undiluted HF (41 %) influence on oxygen impurities was investigated. Lesser oxygen impurities have been observed. Better resistivity to oxygen atoms of GaN thin films after diluted...
GaN thin films grown by hollow cathode plasma-assisted atomic layer deposition (HCPA-ALD) at two different substrate temperatures (250 and 450 °C) are compared. Effect of two different Ga source materials named as trimethylgallium (TMG) and triethylgallium (TEG) on GaN growth and film quality is also investigated and reviewed. Films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, spectroscopic...
This paper investigates the effect of two HVDC grid segmentation topologies i.e. hybrid HVAC-HVDC and standalone HVDC on the transient stability of a 15-bus electric grid. For this purpose, four HVDC station configurations and three HVDC technologies are considered. A three phase AC fault is applied at one of the buses and the rotor angle of one of the generators is analyzed. The results show that...
OpenStack is one of the most widely used open source Cloud Management Software. It is essentially a set of services working in unison to operate a cloud network infrastructure. Nova is the primary computing engine which manages and deploys/destroys virtual machines and other instances. Neutron provides the networking capability for OpenStack. Since Neutron had inherent stability issues in the initial...
Cloud users store millions of files on the cloud every day. Often times the files are simply replicated so that if one is lost a mirror can be fetched when required. Simple replication of data files is easier however it is more costly since more storage is required. Alternatively, cloud datacenters use coding techniques that code a file into parts; each of which can be stored at a different location...
The original results of two different types of ZnO nanostructures grown via hydrothermal synthesis on ZnO seed-layers coated by atomic layer deposition process on Si substrates were presented. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry were used for the analysis of resulting nanostructured ZnO samples. The influence of annealing on crystal properties of the ZnO nanostructures was shown...
Hollow cathode plasma-assisted atomic layer deposition is a promising technique for obtaining III-nitride thin films with low impurity concentrations at low temperatures. Here we report our efforts on the development of HCPA-ALD processes for III-nitrides together with the properties of resulting thin films and nanostructures. The content will further include nylon 6,6/GaN core/shell and BN/AlN bishell...
In this paper we propose a novel state-full bandwidth allocation (SBA) for high-fan-out optical networks. High-fan-out networks service a large number of users. SBA maintains state of prior allocations and intelligently increases or decreases allocation at run time. SBA is tested for video gaming traffic data that was captured from online and local video game play. Results show that SBA increases...
Systems are frequently regression tested during the maintenance phase due to corrective, preventive, adaptive or perfective actions. Regression testing is used to prevent the undesirable effects of these changes on the previously tested version. Due to these changes, new test cases become part of the test suite making it huge and inefficient for ‘retest all’ strategy. The ultimate solution of this...
Cloud storage has changed the way we store our data. Cloud can be considered as the next stage in the evolution of data storage; in that, just like flash drives phased out compact disks, it is phasing out flash drives for many users and cloud dependence is steadily increasing. Cloud has become ubiquitous in a relatively shorter span of time and it is predicted that, within the next few years, most...
There occur frequent requirement changes in software systems even after the software has been developed. Regression testing is continuously performed to identify the undesired affects of these requirement changes on already tested system. Test suites grow enormously with these changes due to addition of new test cases for enhanced functionality. Optimization of test suite to perform regression testing...
