OBJECTIVES We evaluate and compare manually collected paper records against electronic records for monitoring the weights of children under the age of 5. SETTING Data were collected by 24 community health workers (CHWs) in 2 Rwandan communities, 1 urban and 1 rural. PARTICIPANTS The same CHWs collected paper and electronic records. Paper data contain weight and age for 320 boys and 380 girl...

For the enhancement of quality in the software development, to eliminate the repeated work and to improve the efficiency, we require a effective solution that is software reuse. But how to identify and evaluate the performance of reusable software from the existing systems has remained the task for developers. Defining metrics to reusable components has given the structural analysis to the diff...

The recent advent in the field of multimedia proposed a many facilities in transport, transmission and manipulation of data. Along with this advancement of facilities there are larger threats in authentication of data, its licensed use and protection against illegal use of data. A lot of digital image watermarking techniques have been designed and implemented to stop the illegal use of the digi...

We use referential translation machines (RTMs) for predicting the semantic similarity of text in both STS Core and Cross-lingual STS. RTMs pioneer a language independent approach to all similarity tasks and remove the need to access any task or domain specific information or resource. RTMs become 14th out of 26 submissions in Cross-lingual STS. We also present rankings of various prediction tas...

Gas-condensate reservoirs contain hydrocarbon fluids with characteristics between oil and gas reservoirs and a high gas-liquid ratio. Due to the large gas-liquid ratio, wellhead choke calculations using the empirical equations such as Gilbert may contain considerable error. In this study, using drill stem test (DST) data of a gas-condensate reservoir, coefficients of Gilbert equation was modifi...

In India, the first confirmed case of novel corona virus (COVID-19) was discovered on January 30, 2020. The number cases is increasing day by day, and it crossed 21,53,010 August 9, this paper, a hybrid forecasting model has been proposed to determine for upcoming 10 days based earlier found in India. adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) mutation-based Bees Algorithm (mBA). meta-heuris...

With the change in global climate and environment, prevalence of extreme rainstorms flood disasters has increased, causing serious economic property losses. Therefore, accurate rapid prediction waterlogging become an urgent problem to be solved. In this study, Jianye District Nanjing City China is taken as study area. The time series data recorded by rainfall stations ponding monitoring from Ja...

Shoulder pain and injury are highly prevalent among manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI) [18]. The consequences of upper extremity (UE) pain are significant because manual wheelchair users rely on their arms for mobility and independence. Specific biomechanical parameters of wheelchair propulsion such as cadence, magnitude of force, and pattern of the hand during the no propuls...

Determining the appropriate dosage of warfarin is an important yet challenging task. Several prediction models have been proposed to estimate a therapeutic dose for patients. The models are either clinical models which contain clinical and demographic variables or pharmacogenetic models which additionally contain the genetic variables. In this paper, a new methodology for warfarin dosing is pro...

GNSS time series for static reference stations record the deformation of monitored targets. However, missing data are very common in monitoring because receiver crashes, power failures, etc. In this paper, we propose a Temporal and Spatial Hankel Matrix Factorization (TSHMF) method that can simultaneously consider temporal correlation single spatial among different stations. Moreover, is verifi...
