We present the extension of a distributed adaptive faultdetection algorithm applied in networked systems. In previous work, we developed an approach to probabilistic detection of communication faults based on measured probe response delays and packet drops. The algorithm is here extended to detect network latency shifts and adapt to longterm changes of the expected probe response delay. Initial...

This research paper adapts intelligent water drops (IWD) algorithm to solve the discrete timecost-quality trade-off problem (DTCQTP) in software projects which is never solved before by this algorithm. Project manager's goal is getting an optimal allocation of time, cost and quality of each task/activity in the software project such that total time and cost of the project is minimized while pro...

AIM To compare quality of life and treatment satisfaction between patients who had selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and those on medication. METHODS A prospective clinical trial on 143 glaucoma patients that received SLT and a control group that continued using anti glaucoma medication was conducted. Tear break-up time (BUT), punctuate keratitis, need for help, use of artificial tears an...

Excessive voltage drops in power and ground (P&G) buses of CMOS VLSI circuits can severely degrade both design reliability and performance. Maximum current estimates are needed in the circuit to accurately determine the impact of these problems. In [1], a pattern-independent, linear time algorithm (iMax) is described that is very e ective in estimating the maximum current waveforms at various c...
