An underwater planar covering problem is studied where the coverage region consists of polygonal cells, and line sweep motion is used for coverage. In many subsea applications, sidescan sonar has become a common tool, and the sidescan sonar data is meaningful only when the sonar is moving in a straight line. This work studies the optimal line sweep coverage where the sweep paths of the cells co...

In this paper we consider the problem of coverage in a wireless sensor network where nodes already have been previously deployed. Our goal is to design an efficient strategy to add further nodes for achieving a certain target K-coverage throughout the entire monitoring region. A heuristic approach based on a dynamic model resembling gas bubbles is applied to solve this problem. Once the additio...

Sensing and coverage are the two relevant tasks for a sensor network. Quality of sensor network totally depends upon the sensing ability of sensors. In a certain monitored region success of detecting or sensing an object with the help of sensor network tells that how efficiently the network coverage perform. Here in this paper we have proposed a clustering algorithm for the deployment of sensor...

One of the most interesting 3G networks feature is their integration with the 2G networks. It provides seamless End to-End services. Current widely deployed 2G and 3G networks provide enabling interoperability. These mechanisms include Inter RAT idle mode reselection. Inter RAT dedicated mode reselection is used for PS (Packet Switching) services. The WLAN coverage on one hand provides an extra...

This package is used for the visualization of the read coverage. It allows the user to calculate the read coverage and to generate different types of coverage displays. It is designed to be used with the files produced after the alignment of the reads generated in different types of next-generation sequencing experiments against the reference sequences (i.e. genome or transcriptome). CoverageVi...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the extent of health insurance coverage for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) within one region in the United States, a study prompted by the increased utilization of CAM. DESIGN Prospective telephone interview of health insurance representatives. LOCATION A contiguous three-state area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) in ...

We present COVERAGE – a novel database containing copymove forged images and their originals with similar but genuine objects. COVERAGE is designed to highlight and address tamper detection ambiguity of popular methods, caused by self-similarity within natural images. In COVERAGE, forged–original pairs are annotated with (i) the duplicated and forged region masks, and (ii) the tampering factor/...

Sensing coverage and network connectivity are two of the most fundamental problems in wireless sensor networks. Finding an optimal node deployment strategy that would minimize cost, reduce computation and communication overhead, be resilient to node failures, and provide a high degree of coverage with network connectivity is extremely challenging. Coverage and connectivity together can be treat...

Immunization has made significant contribution to public health in the African Region, including elimination, eradication and control of life threatening diseases. Hospitalization due to vaccine preventable diseases has been drastically reduced due to introduction of new effective vaccines. However, optimizing the benefits of immunization by achieving high universal coverage has met with many c...
