a 25-year-old female presented to the infertility opd with complaints of secondary infertility and pain lower abdomen with watery discharge for the past five days. she had history of undergoing hysterosalpingography in a private hospital ten days back. the interventions included drainage of pyometra, endometrial biopsy for routine and afb smear/ culture,  confirmation of diagnosis by m rna-base...

Intelligent attackers in a collaborative spectrum sensing system could act as honest users to conceal themselves and start malicious behavior abruptly since an unpredictable time slot. Affected by honest behavior before attacking time, traditional malicious behavior detection (MBD) algorithms are not agile enough to identify the abrupt change of behavior. To alleviate this challenge, in this pa...

This paper presents the design of RT-Appia, a framework for the development and implementation of configurable real-time protocol stacks. The goal of RT-Appia is to allow the construction of specialized protocols through the composition of pre-defined micro-protocols. RT-Appia attempts to balance the flexibility and efficiency of micro-protocols with the predictability requirements of real-time...

The emergence of commercial wireless devices based on ultra-wideband radio technology (UWB-RT) is widely awaited and anticipated. UWB-RT is not only applicable to communications, imaging and ranging, it also promises to alleviate the problem of increasingly scarce spectrum resources while enabling new wireless applications and business opportunities. These prospects have caught the early attent...

In an RT experiment, subjects were asked to respond with minimal responses to prerecorded dialogs and a manipulated version of these dialogs that contained only intonation and pause information. Response delays and, especially, variances were higher to the impoverished, intonation only, stimuli than to the original recordings. It was also found that intonation only utterances ending in a mid-fr...

The RT Role-based Trust-management framework provides policy language, semantics, deduction engine, and pragmatic features such as application domain specification documents that help distributed users maintain consistent use of policy terms. This paper provides a general overview of the framework, combining some aspects described in previous publications with recent improvements and explanatio...

We present a MOF-based metamodel for the SA/RT (Structured Analysis for Real-Time Systems) design method. The metamodel is designed to be easily combined with the UML 1.4 metamodel, thus allowing data flow information to be incorporated into UML models. The metamodel has been developed and tested in a graphical fashion, using the Software Modeling Workbench tool developed at TUCS.

We present the SM@RT tool that supports model-based runtime system management. Developers provide meta-models describing both the target system and the desired architecture style, and the SM@RT tool automatically generates the synchronizer that reflects the running system as an architecture model.
