The research area of image processing grew from electrical engineering as an addition of the signal processing branch. The enormous amount of data necessary for images is a main reason for the growth of many areas within the research field of computer imaging such as image processing and compression. The pre dealing being worked upon is the de noising of images. In order to get this in requisit...

For delivering high quality software products, it is important to test them in environments very close to the typical customer ones, where unexpected events may perturb the normal running of the application. Running tests in a realistic environment starting from the early development phases helps in reducing costs in terms of fixing. Moreover, in a distributed application, the importance of tes...

Metadata have long been recognised as crucial to geospatial asset management and discovery, and yet undertaking their creation remains an unenviable task often to be avoided. This paper proposes a practical approach designed to address such concerns, decomposing various data creation, management, update and documentation process steps that are subsequently leveraged to contribute towards metada...

This book discusses about honeypot from history to present. The way authors added various case studies (including use of honeypot as savior) in chapters is admirable. The list of references for each chapter is also good way for the readers to easily locate the source of information. I suggest to add the further finding topic for each chapter in the future versions of books specially for researc...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite decades of research, the treatment options for lung cancer patients remain inadequate, either to offer a cure or even a substantial survival advantage owing to its intrinsic resistance to chemotherapy. Our results propose the effectiveness of capsaicin in down-regulating VEGF expression in non-small cell lung carcinoma...

Test engineering for fault tolerant VLSI systems is encumbered with optimization requisites for hardware overhead, test power and test time. The high level quality of these complex high-speed VLSI circuits can be assured only through delay testing, which involves checking for accurate temporal behavior. In the present paper, a data-path based built-in test pattern generator (TPG) that generates...

The University of Utah School of Medicine Graduate Medical Education Program in Neurosurgery complies with Section 504 of the 1973 Vocational Rehabilitation Act, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, in providing opportunities for qualified individuals with disabilities. At the same time, prospective candidates must be capable of meeting certain technical standards. The f...

This paper describes the design of a web based scheduler program and its implementation in the constraint logic programming language clp(FD). We give a formal description of this implementation using the interaction semantics of action languages recently developed by the authors. The clp code employs a port of the PiLLoW library and was compiled via C to executable code (using technology based ...

This integrative review summarizes currently available evidence on academic-service partnerships in the profession of nursing. More than 300 articles, published primarily in refereed journals, were accessed. Articles (110) were included in this review as they presented detailed and substantive information about any aspect of a nursing academic-service partnership. The majority were anecdotal in...

Good design and implementation are necessary but not sufficient pre-requisites for the successful reuse of object-oriented frameworks. Although not always recognized, good documentation is crucial for effective framework reuse and comes with many issues. Defining and writing good quality documentation for a framework is often hard, costly, and tiresome, especially when not aware of its key prob...
