Objectives
To design an improved oral lichen planus (OLP) scoring system, which can be widely applied.
Subjects and Methods
A new scoring system that took reticulation, hyperemia and ulceration (RHU) into account, named as RHU scoring system, was designed for OLP patients' management. The patients were also scored for the reticulation/erythema/ulcer (REU) scoring system, physician global assessment...
This paper aims at presenting a simple and efficient single target tracking approach, which is suitable for the applications for modern smart glasses. Specifically, a novel set-to-set similarity measurement is proposed, which takes the critical appearance cues, the contextual structure of the points inside the set and the points' coordinate related to the bounding box into consideration jointly. In...
Barrier coverage with wireless sensors aims at detecting intruders who attempt to cross a specific area, where wireless sensors are distributed remotely at random. This paper considers limited-power sensors with adjustable ranges deployed along a linear domain to form a barrier to detect intruding incidents. We introduce three objectives to minimize: 1) total power consumption while satisfying full...
In order to alleviate the node mobility problem which cause frequent link ruptures between source and destination nodes and data packets loss during transmission in Mobile Ad hoc Networks, we propose a new routing protocol called AD-AODV based on the famous AODV protocol. By introducing a novel metric M whose value depends on the hop number and average mobility of a given route, we improve the routing...
Localization technology based on received signal strength indication (RSSI) is a low cost and low complexity technology, and it is widely applied in distance-based localization of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The error of existed localization technologies is great. This paper presents an N-times trilateral centroid weighted localization algorithm (NTCWLA), which reduces the error greatly. Considering...
The cumulative failure number of a repairable item increases with age and usage and represents the operational reliability of the item. In this paper, we use the cumulative failure number as a condition variable to represent the health level of an item, and use a general path model to represent the degradation process of items population. For a given time, the cumulative failure number is modeled...
Multicast routing paths in ODMRP form a multiple tree in fact and different process of multiple tree construction will result in significant different performance in terms of packet delivery ratio, forwarding efficiency, end-to-end delay, and so forth. In this paper, we outline the model and investigate the process of multiple construction in ODMRP and propose two multiple tree construction process,...
With the development of information industry, information service becomes more and more important in the information industry chain. This paper studies information service quality evaluation by empirical way, and then constructs the evaluation factors system that is fit for the traits of information service. Principal component analysis has been used in this paper.
