Studies conducted over the past 25 years have focussed on the role of periodontitis, an inflammatory condition of microbial aetiology that destroys the tooth-supporting tissues, as a systemic inflammatory stressor that can act as an independent risk factor of atherosclerotic vascular disease (AVSD) and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). It has been suggested that periodontitis-associated bacter...

The paper presents a novel allocation algorithm to allocate independent real time tasks on a processor in a way that improves the processor's throughput (Processor's throughput is the number of tasks the processor can accept for execution). The proposed approach allocates tasks' workloads (task's workload is the percentage of work required by the processor to execute the tas...

Due to infrastructure – less networks and multi hop communication features of Mobile ad hoc network (MANET), every node in MANET has to cooperate with each other. Therefore, node security becomes one of the important research areas of MANET. The resources that provided to MANET nodes such as battery power, memory, and bandwidth are limited. As a result, developing a resource – aware node authen...

Since the possibility of sharing and exchanging information on internet, it is really easiest task than ever before and same technology aids are providing us ample amount of data, information while selecting best of services, best of products available as well as best of individu...

BACKGROUND To estimate probability of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) among women with and without syphilis through a systematic review of published literatures. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Chinese and English literatures were searched for studies assessing pregnancy outcomes in the presence of maternal syphilis through August 2013. The prevalence estimates were summarized and analyzed b...

Requirement Engineering encompasses the tasks that go into identifying, determining and understanding the customer needs as well as the expectations from the proposed software system or an application, taking account of possibly conflicting requirements of various stakeholders. Requirement Engineering, also referred to by names like requirement gathering or requirement analysis or requirement s...

What are the processes by which we construct mathematical concepts? What is the nature of the cognitive entities constructed in this process? Based on the theories of cognitive construction developed by Piaget for younger children, Dubinsky proposed APOS theory to describe how act ions become interiorized into processes and then encapsulated as mental objects, which take their place in more sop...

This paper presents the simulation of privacy-related applications employing blind signature (BS) schemes. Two popular privacy-related applications: 'traditional BS based electronic voting system (EVS)' and 'traditional offline electronic payment protocol (EPP)' have been chosen here. A BS scheme is a cryptographic protocol that plays a vital role to conduct the electronic t...
