Many long-running network analytics applications (e.g., flow size estimation and heavy traffic detection) impose a high-throughput and high reliability requirements on stream processing systems. However, previous stream processing systems which are designed for higher layer applications cannot sustain high-speed traffic at the core router level. Furthermore, due to the nondeterministic nature o...

six sigma methodology is one of the most famous effective problem solving approaches that helps organizations to achieve their goals. despite the variety of its positive advantage, most companies have failed to implement six sigma successfully. the reason for this includes lack of the organizations attention to success or failure factors when implement six sigma projects. hence, while performin...

Our study evaluated the differences between early and late hemodialysis (HD) initiation in the intensive care unit (ICU) according to the RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage renal failure) and AKIN (Acute Kidney Injury Network) classifications. On the assumption that early initiation of HD in critical patients according to the RIFLE and AKIN criteria decreases mortality, we retros...

The aim of this paper is to implement a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) Neural Network to recognize and predict handwritten digits from 0 to 9. A dataset of 5000 samples were obtained from MNIST. The dataset was trained using gradient descent back-propagation algorithm and further tested using the feed-forward algorithm. The system performance is observed by varying the number of hidden units and t...

In this paper, we investigate non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network relying on wireless power transfer to prolong lifetime. The base station (BS) sends common signals the relay with two functions (energy harvesting (EH) and signal processing) further serve NOMA users in downlink. Performance gap exists since different allocation factor assigned from splitting protocol adopted at such em...
