Routing and data aggregation are two important techniques for reducing communication cost of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To minimize communication cost, routing methods can be merged with data aggregation techniques. Compressive sensing (CS) is one of the effective techniques for aggregating network data, which can reduce the cost of communication by reducing the amount of routed data to t...

The key to ensuring rotating machinery’s safe and reliable operation is efficient accurate faults diagnosis. Intelligent fault diagnosis technology based on deep learning (DL) has gained increasing attention. A critical challenge how embed the characteristics of time series into DL obtain stable features that correlate with equipment conditions. This study proposes a lightweight rolling bearing...

The sensor nodes of wireless sensor networks are placed in observation areas and transmit data to the observer by using multi-hop communication between nodes. Because these nodes are small and have a limited power supply, they must save power in order to prolong the network’s lifetime. We propose HGAF (Hierarchical Geographic Adaptive Fidelity) to give a layered structure to GAF (Geographic Ada...

OBJECTIVE The study examined outcomes of clients treated by primary care psychologists in 2010 in the Netherlands. METHODS Data for 55,067 clients treated by 613 primary care psychologists were analyzed for three outcomes: regular conclusion of treatment, improvement of >10 points on the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF), and treatment conclusion in eight or fewer sessions. Logistic regr...

BACKGROUND Outcomes following admission to residential alternatives to standard in-patient mental health services are underresearched. AIMS To explore short-term outcomes and costs of admission to alternative and standard services. METHOD Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS), Threshold Assessment Grid (TAG), Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) and admission cost data were collecte...

Constantly increasing power of gaming platforms now makes it possible for game developers to consider using procedural techniques in making games. These techniques are actually used to create part of graphical assets such as object’s textures [9] or to generate character motion [26]. However, sound is still a challenging domain for procedural content creation. This article presents a new softwa...

The present document presents the Governance Analytical Framework (GAF), a practical methodology which aims to demonstrate the potential of the concept of governance for the analysis of collective problems. Some of the basic postulates of the GAF are that governance processes can be found in any society and can be observed and analysed from a non-normative and non-prescriptive perspective. Unli...

The second messenger cGMP is involved in several physiological functions such as smooth muscle relaxation and inhibition of platelet aggregation. Besides cGMP synthesis, hydrolysis of cGMP by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) determines the shape of cGMP signals. Eleven PDE families are known differing in regulation and cAMP/cGMP specificity. PDEs are homodimers; each monomer being co...
