To improve the performance of the network and the network protocol it is important to characterize the dominant applications [4, 8, 9, 12, 19, 22, 23]. Only by utilizing data about all events initiated by the Web (including TCP and HTTP events) can one hope to understand the chain of performance problems that current Web users face. Due the the popularity of the Web it is crucial to understand ...

Two-stage dilute acid pretreatment followed by enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis is an effective method for obtaining high sugar yields from wood residues such as softwood forest thinnings. In the first-stage hydrolysis step, most of the hemicellulose is solubilized using relatively mild conditions. The soluble hemicellulosic sugars are recovered from the hydrolysate slurry by washing with water. ...

A novel continuous subcritical n-butane extraction technique for Camellia seed oil was explored. The fatty acid composition, physicochemical properties, and benzo[a]pyrene content of Camellia seed oil extracted using this subcritical technique were analyzed. Orthogonal experiment design (L9(34)) was adopted to optimize extraction conditions. At a temperature of 45 °C, a pressure of 0.5 MPa, a t...

In this chapter, we illustrate the properties of the continuous shearlet transform with respect to its ability to describe the set of singularities of multidimensional functions and distributions. This is of particular interest since singularities and other irregular structures typically carry the most essential information in multidimensional phenomena. Consider, for example, the edges of natu...

A module was developed for the continuous monitoring of volatile halogen organic pollutants in complex matrices. The module utilized a polymer membrane for extraction and a capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for detection. The extraction of analytes (CHCl(3), CHCl(2)Br, CHClBr(2) and CHBr(3)) from samples was performed in a flow system mediated by a non-porous flat membrane....

The information extraction capability of two widely used signal processing tools, Hilbert Transform (HT) and Wavelet Transform (WT), is investigated to develop a multi-class fault diagnosis scheme for induction motor using radial vibration signals. The vibration signals are associated with unique predominant frequency components and instantaneous amplitudes depending on the motor condition. Usi...

Cropping intensity is one of the major factors in crop production and agricultural intensification. A new double-cropping croplands mapping methodology using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) time series datasets through continuous wavelet transform was proposed in this study. This methodology involved four steps. First, daily continuous MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI)...

Now a day’s Heart arrhythmia needs to be treated specially as it became a prime cause of death occurrence of people. Such number of death could be decrease by prediagnosis status of heart signals. This paper presents the new automated arrhythmias detection method. For identification of arrhythmia continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is used for feature extraction from ECG signal and the purpose o...

INTRODUCTION — Developing fatigue monitoring devices, which are cheap, non-intrusive, and robust even under extreme demanding environmental conditions (e.g. high background noise, temperature, or humidity) still remains a challenging task. Utilizing steering wheel behaviour might potentially fulfil these demands [1–3]. However, little empirical research has been done to examine thoroughly the b...
