Received Apr 24, 2016 Revised Aug 3, 2016 Accepted Aug 18, 2016 Electronic test evaluation system for driving license is very useful now a days, as there is increase in the human intervention in the system. This system make the driving license procedure transparent to human being. The proposed technological solution is advancement towards the automation of system and improves the driving test a...

The work described in this article was funded by the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC0205CH11231. This article is based on a longer technical report titled A Review of Recent RTO Benefit-Cost Studies: Toward More Comprehensive Assessments of FERC Electricity Restructuring Policies (LBNL-58027), available at http://ce...

Background & Objective: Some drugs like benzodiazepines have been associated with an increased incidence of infections by making weak immune system. Here, we determined the effect of use of benzodiazepines on the occurrence of community acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods: We used Taiwan National Health Insurance Claim Database of 22 million (2002) population to investigate the association of ben...

This work identifies the presence of long idle times as the main cause for the high performance degradation suffered by TCP over bursty error environments. After a comprehensive and fully experimental analysis, performed over an IEEE 802.11b real platform, it is derived that the traditional computation that TCP uses for the RTO estimation does not behave properly over channels prone to suffer f...

This paper is a pedagogical approach for teaching the Newsboy inventory problem, in engineer and business school. In most cases, students study the value that maximizes the expected revenue. In some cases, they study the expected cost itself, but never the associated risk. This article studies the standard deviation of the expected cost for two classical models (including or not salvage revenue...

We propose in this paper a method to extract instances of n-ary relations in a text guided by an Ontological and Terminological Resource (OTR). An OTR is a resource composed of a conceptual component (the ontology) and a terminological component (the terminology) in which the terms are distinguished from the concepts they denote. The ontology allows n-ary relationships to be described between a...

the changes in viscoelastic properties of potatoes (tubuls agria) stored at 4 ˚c for 4 months were modeled and evaluated by using the creep-recovery test. cylindrical specimens with 15 mm in diameter and 35 mm long were used. the samples were allowed to deform gradually under the constant stress (110 kpa) for about 30 min. after removing the load, the sample recovery was registered. deformation...
