It has just been seven years since the time when first virus was introduced in a game „Mosquito‟ by a company called as Ojam. Ever since then, malware has been introduced in various ways and affecting MCDs (Mobile Computing Devices) all over the world. It has been an issue of great concern since it invades into the privacy of mobile users. Once installed in the victim‟s phone it can track the u...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are now widely used for monitoring and controlling of systems where human intervention is not desirable or possible. Connected Dominating Sets (CDSs) based topology control in WSNs is one kind of hierarchical method to ensure sufficient coverage while reducing redundant connections in a relatively crowded network. Moreover, Minimum-sized Connected Dominating Set ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with epilepsy and malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are at high risk for language and other cognitive impairment. Specific impairments, however, are not well correlated with the extent and locale of dysplastic cortex; such findings highlight the relevance of aberrant cortico-cortical interactions, or connectivity, to the clinical phenotype. The goal of...

Understanding the dynamic changes in connectivity of molecular pathways is important for determining disease prognosis. Thus, the current study used an inference of multiple differential modules (iMDM) algorithm to identify the connectivity changes of sub‑network to predict the progression of osteosarcoma (OS) based on the microarray data of OS at four Huvos grades. Initially, multiple differen...

In this paper we present a highly expressive, robust, and easy-to-build system that provides force-feedback interaction for mobile computing devices (MCD). Our system, which we call fortissimo (ff ), utilizes standard built-in accelerometer measurements in conjunction with generic foam padding that can be easily placed under a device to render an expressive force-feedback performance setup. for...

In recent decades, carbon (C) management is an important point on the agenda to identify best viable mitigation strategies for its reduction. The study was conducted at Jaldapara National Park located in Eastern Himalayan region of India. quantified litter production, decomposition, periodic nutrient release, soil fertility status, and organic (SOC) five major forest stands i.e., Tectona grandi...

OBJECTIVE Trends in the metabolic syndrome might follow trends in obesity. We examined this hypothesis in the Mexico City Diabetes Study (MCDS), a study that showed rising trends in obesity, and the effect of the metabolic syndrome on the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Designed as a population-based study, the MCDS enrolled subjects in 1990-1992 (n = 2,282)....

Mutations in αand β-tubulin genes are responsible for a large spectrum of brain malformations secondary to abnormal neuronal migration, organization, differentiation, and axon guidance and maintenance. Motor and language developmental disorders, cognitive impairment and epilepsy are the main clinical associated symptoms. Frequency and severity of these disorders are largely related with the inv...

In epidemiological studies, exposures of interest are often measured with uncertainties, which may be independent or correlated. Independent errors can often be characterized relatively easily while correlated measurement errors have shared and hierarchical components that complicate the description of their structure. For some important studies, Monte Carlo dosimetry systems that provide multi...
