The major focus in the joint-services area today is on Horizontal Integration (HI)– rapidly fusing and exploiting the data from different collection systems to speed the flow of correlated intelligence to war fighters, both for situational awareness and targeting. In this paper we discuss several technologies potentially useful in HI. They are Decentralized Data Fusion (DDF), NetCentric Archite...

DDF is the most significant measure among different bunch execution procedures to assess immaculateness of any group component. Ordinarily, best groups are assessing by processing quantity information focuses inside a bunch. At point when this tally comparable required then viewed as great. The greatness system fundamental not exclusively discover check yet in addition inspect it totalling thes...

BACKGROUND Small number of clusters and large variation of cluster sizes commonly exist in cluster-randomized trials (CRTs) and are often the critical factors affecting the validity and efficiency of statistical analyses. F tests are commonly used in the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) to test intervention effects in CRTs. The most challenging issue for the approximate Wald F test is the ...

Machine learning has become a very popular approach for cybernetics systems, and it has always been considered important research in the Computational Intelligence area. Nevertheless, when it comes to smart machines, it is not just about the methodologies. We need to consider systems and cybernetics as well as include human in the loop. The purpose of this article is as follows: (1) To integrat...

The performance of user-cooperation in a multiaccess network is compared to that of using a wireless relay. Using the total transmit and processing power consumed at all nodes as a cost metric, the outage probabilities achieved by dynamic decode-and-forward (DDF) and amplify-and-forward (AF) are compared for the two networks. A high SNR outage analysis in conjunction with area-averaged numerica...

Directional distance function (DDF) is a recognized technique for measuring efficiency while incorporating undesirable outputs. This approach allows for desirable outputs to be expanded while undesirable outputs are contracted simultaneously. A drawback of the DDF approach is that the direction vector to the production boundary is fixed arbitrarily, which may not provide the best efficiency mea...

In previous works, ratios among four-point scattering amplitudes at the leading order in the high-energy limit were derived for the bosonic open string theory. The derivation was based on Ward identities derived from the decoupling of zero-norm states and was purely algebraic. The only assumption of the derivation was that the momentum polarization can be approximated by the longitudinal polari...

We conduct an empirical analysis of the technical efficiency of cars sold in Germany in 2010. The analysis is performed using traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) as well as directional distance functions (DDF). The approach of DDF allows incorporating the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions as an environmental goal in the efficiency analysis. A frontier separation approach is used to ...

A modified standing deep digital flexor (DDF) tenotomy at the level of the proximal interphalangeal joint is an effective treatment option for horses with refractory acute or chronic laminitis. Performing the tenotomy at this level increases the release of the tendon compared with the effect of performing the procedure at a mid-metacarpal location. The modified procedure is technically easier t...
