One of the most important methods to solve traffic congestion is to detect the incident state of a roadway. This paper describes the development of a method for road traffic monitoring aimed at the acquisition and analysis of remote sensing imagery. We propose a strategy for road extraction, vehicle detection and incident detection from remote sensing imagery using techniques based on neural ne...

Introduction DRAXXIN contains the active ingredient tulathromycin, the first of a new subclass of macrolide, the triamilides, discovered and developed by Pfizer Animal Health. DRAXXIN is a highly effective, single-dose antimicrobial medication indicated for treatment of BRD, and control of respiratory disease in cattle at high risk of developing BRD, caused by M haemolytica, P multocida and H s...

The emergence of the Internet as the de facto communication infrastructure means that it is asked to carry an ever broadening range of application traffic with different requirements. This in turn has stressed its original, one-class, best-effort model, and has been one of the main drivers behind the many efforts aimed at introducing QoS. Those efforts have, however, experienced only limited su...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) complex on economically important production traits with the use of health records in combination with lung lesion scores obtained at slaughter. Records from 5,976 animals were used in this study from cattle that were managed in Midwestern feedlots. Average daily gain for 3 different feeding periods (...

The dense deployment of small-cell base stations in HetSNets requires efficient resource allocation techniques. More precisely, the problem of associating users to SBSs must be revised and carefully studied. This problem is NP-hard and requires solving an integer optimization problem. In order to efficiently solve this problem, we model it using non-cooperative game theory. First, we design two...

We study bottleneck congestion games where the social cost is determined by the worst congestion of any resource. These games directly relate to network routing problems and also job-shop scheduling problems. In typical bottleneck congestion games, the utility costs of the players are determined by the worst congested resources that they use. However, the resulting Nash equilibria are inefficie...

Current cycle-based disk IO schedulers for multi-bitrate streaming servers are unable to avoid the formation of virtual bottlenecks. We term a bottleneck as virtual when it occurs within a single resource subsystem, and it is possible to use a secondary under-utilized resource to thwart the bottleneck. We present stream combination, an IO scheduling technique that addresses this problem. Stream...

With power market deregulation, member companies cooperate to share one whole grid system and try to achieve their own economic goals. This paper focuses on how to improve the state estimation result of member companies or ISO by exchanging raw or estimated data with neighboring member companies/ISO. The concept of Bus Redundancy Descriptor (BRD) is developed based on critical measurement set. ...

Let $(K, v)$ be a Henselian discrete valued field with residue $\widehat K$ of characteristic $p$, and Brd$_{p}(K)$ the Brauer $p$-dimension $K$. This paper shows that Brd$_{p}(K) \ge n$, if $[\widehat K\colon \widehat K ^{p}] = p ^{n}$, for some $n \in \mathbb{N}$. It proves \infty $ only $.
