Contraception is not widely accepted in Zambia. Many unwanted pregnancies therefore result. Abortion law in Zambia allows a woman to seek the termination of pregnancy when her own life and health, or the health of other members of her family, may be put at risk by the pregnancy, or when the fetus may be expected to be damaged or diseased. Even so, many illegal abortions are performed each ye...

The paper presents mathematical and empirical results on the behavior of a new multidimensional neural computing paradigm called multidimensional holographic associative computing(MHAC). MHAC can be potentially used for high density associative storage and retrieval of image information. Unlike conventional neural computing, each morsel of information in MHAC is represented as a complex vector ...

LTE-Advanced was introduced as real 4G with its new features and additional functions, satisfying the growing demands of quality and network coverage for the network operators’ subscribers. The term muti-tier has also being recently used with respect to the heterogeneity of the network by applying the various sub-network cooperative systems and functionalities with self-organizing capabilities....

This paper tackles the open problem whether an Oblivious RAM can be shared among multiple clients in the presence of a fully malicious server. Current ORAM constructions rely on clients knowing the ORAM state to not reveal information about their access patter. With multiple clients, a straightforward approach requires clients exchanging updated state to maintain security. However, clients on t...

In the last decade, multi-robot systems are used in several applications like for example, the army, the intervention areas presenting danger to human life, the management of natural disasters, the environmental monitoring, exploration and agriculture. The integrity of localization of the robots must be ensured in order to achieve their mission in the best conditions. Robots are equipped with p...

Multimodal learning with deep Boltzmann machines (DBMs) is an generative approach to fuse multimodal inputs, and can learn the shared representation via Contrastive Divergence (CD) for classification and information retrieval tasks. However, it is a 2-fan DBM model, and cannot effectively handle multiple prediction tasks. Moreover, this model cannot recover the hidden representations well by sa...

AbstrAct: Muti-objective optimization deals with the simultaneous optimization of two or more conflicting objective functions in real-life systems. This paper deals with the multi-objective optimization in service systems. The goal of service systems is to provide cost-efficient service to customers, while at the same time, reducing the customer waiting time for service. In general, a low cost ...

Today’s, throughput capacity of a wireless network is big challenge and also, single-hop scheduling communication requests was not consider routing nor power control problems. In a single hop it targets only an approximation that is optimal up to a factor that is logarithmic in the number of requests. In this type scheduling algorithm The NP-hard problems are occurred when it compute any networ...

Herbal medicine (HM) is a fruitful source of chemical substances that has contributed greatly to the pharmaceutical industry and novel therapeutics. Natural products derived from HM continue be rich lead compounds because their high structural diversity potent bioactivities. However, despite success active ingredients in drug discovery, compatibility issues make huge challenging for extended ti...
