For the past several years, Cyprus has been facing an unprecedented water crisis. Four options that have been considered to help resolve the problem of drought in Cyprus include imposing effective water use restrictions, implementing water-demand reduction programs, optimizing water supply systems, and developing sustainable alternative water source strategies. An important aspect of these init...

Globally, the rate of preterm births are increasing, thus resulting in significant health, development and economic problems. Current methods for the early detection of such births are inadequate. Nevertheless, there has been some evidence that the analysis of uterine electrical signals, collected from the abdominal surface, could provide an independent and easier way to diagnose true labour an...

This study introduces a new approach to recognize the boundaries between the parts of the DNA sequence retained after splicing and the parts of the DNA that are spliced out. The basic idea is to derive a new dataset from the original data to enhance the accuracy of the wellknown classification algorithms. The most accurate results are obtained by using a derived dataset that consists from the h...

Here Θ : X → IR is a continuously differentiable mapping, X ⊆ IR is an open set containing the feasible region Ω and Ω is an n-dimensional box, Ω = {x ∈ IR : l ≤ x ≤ u}. These inequalities are meant component-wise and l ∈ (IR ∪−∞), u ∈ (IR ∪∞). Taking into account the variety of applications yielding the problem (1), we allow any relationship between m and n. The relevance of this problem is we...

Pattern reversal visually evoked potentials (VEPs) provide valuable information about the visual nerves pathways and is a promising field to be explored for the investigation of vision impairments. The conventional method of analysis however, is centred on the detection of amplitude and latency values from the averaged VEP responses. This paper proposes alternative method of analysis using Stoc...
