Many medical control devices used in case of critical patients have model predictive controllers (MPC). MPC estimate the drug level in the parts of patients body based on their human physiology model to either alarm the medical authority or change the drug infusion rate. This model prediction has to be completed before the drug infusion rate is changed i.e. every few seconds. Instead of mathematical...
Reliable multicast is a technology used in a number of applications such as multi-receiver file transfer, streaming media, multimedia conferencing, collaborative processing etc. Pragmatic general multicast (PGM) is a reliable multicast transport protocol that runs over a best effort datagram service. Through this paper we propose an efficient loss recovery scheme for PGM. In our proposal a PGM router...
Simulating cyber-physical energy systems such as data centers requires the characterization of the energy interactions between the computing units and the physical environment. Such interactions involve discrete events such as changes in operating modes of cooling units, and also transient processes such as heat flow. An event-based simulator fails to capture continuous transient effects while a time-stepped...
In this paper, return loss of a newly proposed cantor based multifractal multiband monopole antenna is analyzed using two numerical methods for validation. The Finite Integration Technique (FIT) and the Finite Difference Time Domain Method (FDTD) are used for analysis. The proposed antenna has multiband characteristics covering several wireless applications in Ultra Wideband (UWB) including WLAN 2...
With the increasing use of adaptive body biases in high-performance designs, it has become necessary to build timing models that can include these effects. State-of-the-art timing tools use current source models (CSMs), which have proven to be fast and accurate. However, a straightforward extension of CSMs to incorporate multiple body biases results in unreasonably large characterization tables for...
Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks provide endless opportunities due to their extendable capabilities such as different computing power and sensing range, but at the same time pose formidable challenges, because of the fact that energy is a scarce and usually non-renewable resources. Deployment of sensor nodes in a sensor network is a critical task as deployment should be optimum to increase network...
This paper describes the methodology for developing algorithms for optimal design of an electric drive train for electric bikes and evaluating their performance. The design methodology is validated using simulation and experimental results. The behavioral model of the electric drive train is developed and the performance of the drive train subject to varying battery sizes and motor ratings are evaluated...
We have recently proposed a new model for antigenic variation in Plasmodium falciparum that relies on a network of partially cross-protective immune responses to orchestrate this complex immune evasion process. In addition to exhibiting prolonged oscillations of single variants that resemble the sequential dominance of immunologically distinct antigenic types, the model implies that a higher efficacy...
