In this paper, we describe the design of a profile generator toolkit, which aims to automatically create realistic user profiles for a mobile personalized portal service. These profiles simulate actual user behavior and are utilized to experiment with a personalized crawling system, called eRACE. With the help of this tool, we will assess the performance and scalability of the eRACE system by c...

Aiming at reducing the vibration of CNC machine tools and increasing manufacturing quality, an interpolation method for parametric tool pathes with confined jounce, jerk, acceleration, and speed is proposed. An acceleration/deceleration profile with confined jounce, jerk, acceleration, and speed is proposed and it is proved that this profile is time-optimal to change the speed from one value to...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) is currently the sole clinical method available for delineating the bronchial wall structure; however, the image resolution is inadequate. Thus, an improved image analysis system is needed for both a more accurate and more readily interpretable endobronchial ultrasonogram. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 patients underwent pulmonary re...

present study is an extension of earlier work carried out on two-lane two way roads in the two provinces of pakistan i.e. n-25, n-55 and n-5 regarding the measure of operating speed and development of operating speed prediction models. curved sections of two-lane rural highways are the main location of run-off road accidents. in addition to that the road alignment having combination of geometri...

Cell growth and lactose consumption profile of five Lactobacillus Strains: bulgaricus, casei, lactis, delbrueckii and fermentum has been investigated. Experiments of cell growth and substrate utilization were conducted in batch submerged culture of whey with added lactose and some other growth factors. Fitness assessment of experimental data on the cell growth and lactose consumption by Monod k...

Detecting anomalies is an important challenge for intrusion detection and fault diagnosis in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To address the problem of outlier detection in wireless sensor networks, in this paper we present a PCA-based centralized approach and a DPCA-based distributed energy-efficient approach for detecting outliers in sensed data in a WSN. The outliers in sensed data can be ca...

Neutral stability limits for wake flow behind a flat plate is studied using spectral method. First, Orr-Sommerfeld equation was changed to matrix form, covering the whole domain of solution. Next, each term of matrix was expanded using Chebyshev expansion series, a series very much equivalent to the Fourier cosine series. A group of functions and conditions are applied to start and end points i...

Objectives: Our objectives were to determine the milk-to-plasma ratio of metformin in lactating mothers and to estimate infant exposure. Methods: Two studies were performed. In study 1, 3 nursing mothers taking metformin were studied throughout a dosing interval at steady state. Blood samples were obtained from 2 suckling infants. In study 2, 5 healthy lactating women who volunteered to express...
