Block modeling has been used extensively in many domains including social science, spatial temporal data analysis and even medical imaging. Original formulations of the problem modeled it as a mixed integer programming problem, but were not scalable. Subsequent work relaxed discrete optimization requirement, showed that adding constraints is straightforward existing approaches. In this work, we...

Abstract This paper addressed the energy-efficient resource management problem of an amplify-and-forward relay-assisted bidirectional relay system under a quality-of-service (QoS) constraint. The objective is to develop holistic algorithm for joint implementation selection, power adaptation and bit-rate optimal energy efficiency (EE). A three-stage approach proposed solve problem. At stage 1 (s...

The fundamental Quality of Service (QoS) routing problem, which consists in determining paths subject to multiple QoS constraints, has been extensively investigated in the intra-domain context. However, few solutions exist for the inter-domain case, despite the importance of this problem to enable the delivery of services with QoS across domain boundaries. We propose a method that distributes t...

objectives: stroke, is one of the major causes of disability in adults. so, the patient may prefer to use the non-involved limb to perfom selfcare & named this phenomen learned non used. constraint induced therapy is one of the rehabilitative interventions that can be effective in restoration of the function of the involved limb in some hemiparetic post stroke patients. purpose of this study wa...

Measuring quality is the key to developing high-quality software, and it is widely acknowledged that quality assurance of software products must be guaranteed from the early stages of development, assessing through metrics the quality of early models such as UML diagrams. There exists several proposals of metrics to UML diagrams, such as class diagrams, use case diagrams, etc. But, even though ...

Although sometimes it is necessary, no one likes to stay in a hospital, and patients who need to stay in bed but do not require constant medical surveillance prefer their own bed at home. At the same time, a patient in a hospital has a high cost for the community, that is not acceptable if the patient needs service only a few minutes a day. For these reasons, the current trend in Europe and Nor...
