Existing scheduling schemes for stochastic event capture with rechargeable sensors either adopt simplified assumptions on event’s properties or provide no performance guarantee. Considering the stochasticity of event staying time and event capture utility, we investigate the sensor scheduling problem aiming to maximise the overall quality of monitoring (QoM) in event capture application of ener...

(Semi-)automatic mapping — also called (semi-)automatic alignment — of ontologies is a core task to achieve interoperability when two agents or services use different ontologies. In the existing literature, the focus has so far been on improving the quality of mapping results. We here consider QOM, Quick Ontology Mapping, as a way to trade off between effectiveness (i.e. quality) and efficiency...

The biomass value of anchovy (Engraulis anchoita), the most abundant fi sh species in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean, is considered to be around 4,300,000 tons, with a maximum sustainable yield of 1,140,000 tons (Cabrer et al., 2002), being at present under exploited at 27,800 tons/year (SAGPyA, 2008). Recently, as part of the FAO’s project Towards a Sustainable Aquaculture: Selected Issues and G...

Acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) is a type of renal disease which indicates the inflammation of glomerulus and nephrons. This study was carried on 94 children, <15 years old with the diagnosis of AGN who were admitted to Qom and Yazd's hospitals between 2000 and 2006. Data were collected using hospital records on admission, progression notes and outpatient follow up. Among 94 patients, 55.3% were...
