The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has emerged as a de facto standard to represent and exchange information among various applications on the Web and within organizations due to XML’s inherent data self-describing capability and flexibility of organizing data. As a result, the number of available (heterogeneous) XML data is rapidly increasing, and the need for developing high-performance tech...

Implicit invocation or publish-subscribe has become an important architectural style for large-scale system design and evolution. The publish-subscribe style facilitates developing large-scale systems by composing separately developed components because the style permits loose coupling between various components. One of the major bottlenecks in using publish-subscribe systems for very large sca...

In this paper, we consider the patient similarity matching problem over a cancer cohort of more than 220,000 patients. Our approach first leverages on Word2Vec framework to embed ICD codes into vector-valued representation. We then propose a sequential algorithm for case-control matching on this representation space of diagnosis codes. The novel practice of applying the sequential matching on t...

In this paper, a motion field representation algorithm based on directional edge information has been developed. This work is aiming at building an ego-motion detection system using dedicated VLSI chips developed for real time motion field generation at low powers [1], [2]. Directional edge maps are utilized instead of original gray-scale images to represent local features of an image and to de...

----------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-------------------------------------------------------------------This paper presents a novel approach in face digital image searching and matching. The given key image is converted into gray scale image and after that a matrix is computed with gray scale values of the key image. Then we are collecting the diagonal k...

nowadays, soil reinforcement using polymer elements have been investigated by a number of researchers in order to increase the load capacity of soils. reinforcing soils using fibers is a method of soil improvement, which offers a homogenous mixture in combination with soils, regarding their tensile strength. this combination maintains pressure loading capacity and properties in mutual resistant...
