Recently a number of application-layer multicast (ALM) protocols have been proposed as a promising alternative to deploying multicast services in the unicast-only Internet. Current ALM protocols work very well for low data-rate applications but can suffer from link-level load imbalance, and consequently link congestions, when applied to high data-rate applications. This work addresses this prob...

Current data fusion architectures are evolving from single-platform, standalone systems to multi-platform, integrated systems. By taking advantage of the favorable geometry of a distributed data fusion system, target tracking performance can be greatly increased. Sensors can typically provide an estimation of a target's position, but only the radial component of the target's velocity. The targe...

Temporal compressions of optical pulses and pulse trains have been performed by the photon-echo process in Tm-doped YAG at 793 nm. Single-pulse temporal compression by almost a factor of 500 from 10 micros to 22 ns and pulse train compression by a factor of 14 from 5micros to 350 ns with a high-speed frequency-tunable external-cavity diode laser are demonstrated. It is suspected that significan...

    This review was conducted between December 2018 and March 2019 at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. A review of various studies revealed what data mining techniques to predict the probability of survival, what risk factors for these predictions, what criteria for evaluating data mining techniques, and finally what data sources for it have been used to predict the surv...
