We consider the problem of failure detection in dynamic networks such as MANETs. Unreliable failure detectors are classical mechanisms which provide information about process failures. However, most of current implementations consider that the network is fully connected and that the initial number of nodes of the system is known. This assumption is not applicable to dynamic environments. Furthe...

  Background and Objective: Failure to thrive (FTT) is a sign that describes a particular problem rather than a diagnosis and explain growth failure or more advanced failure to gain weight appropriately. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and type of chromosomal abnormalities in patients presented with FTT. Materials and Method: One hundred FTT cases with clinical impressio...

Distributed computing is very attractive, but comes with new problems : information losses, overflow, or breakdowns. Most often, they are neglected. Indeed, it has been shown that the Consensus (a fundamental problem which requires that the processes agree on a common value) is unsolvable in a realistic computing model, i.e. completely asynchronous with possible crash failures [FLP85]. Intuitiv...

To establish route between nodes, an efficient routing protocol is required to discover routes in a mobile adhoc network. Node energy is one of the important design criteria for adhoc networks due to dynamic topology of Ad Hoc Network. Mobile nodes have limited energy in their batteries. Power failure of a mobile node affects the node itself as well as decreases network performance also due to ...

an adaptive version of growing and pruning rbf neural network has been used to predict the system output and implement linear model-based predictive controller (lmpc) and non-linear model-based predictive controller (nmpc) strategies. a radial-basis neural network with growing and pruning capabilities is introduced to carry out on-line model identification.an unscented kalman filter (ukf) algor...

Today, the information systems play a critical role in business for each organization. Like other organizations, hospitals use information systems for data collection, data storage, data processing and the like to have long-term and short-term achievements. Despite the very benefits of implementing HIS and its costly implementation, the HIS project sometimes fails. The importance of the HIS fai...
