Privacy-preserving query has recently received considerable attention in the signal processing and multimedia community. It also is a critical step in wireless sensor network for retrieval of sensitive data. The purposes of privacy-preserving query in both the areas of signal processing and sensor network are the same but the similarity and difference of the adopted technologies are not fully e...

This paper explores the possibility of bringing e-learning to African universities through collaborative networks of public–private partnerships. It is envisaged that this approach will solve the dual problem of infrastructural barriers and weak ICT policies. As technology is used more in education, the teachers’ roles are increasingly integrated with those of support staff, administrators and ...

Most SAS® programmers agree that SAS macros are a wonderful tool for automating repetitive tasks. More controversial is bulletproofing (making a macro robust to incorrect parameters or data). Less commonly considered is the potential that macros offer for delivery of statistical expertise. Statistical knowledge can be built into macros with advanced rules for validating macro parameter values, ...

Considering that cyclooxygenase -2(COX-2) is over expressed in 40% of invasive and pre-invasive breast cancer cell lines with a substantial role of prostaglandin E2(PGE2) in cancer initiation, progression, invasiveness and metastasis ,COX-2 inhibitors have been recently found to be suitable options as anticancer agents. Various studies have demonstrated promising activity of this readily access...

In exact arithmetic, the simplex method applied to a particular linear programming problem instance either shows that it is infeasible, shows that its dual is infeasible, or generates optimal solutions to both problems. Interiorpoint methods do not provide such clear-cut information. We provide general tools (extensions of the Farkas Lemma) for concluding that a problem or its dual is likely (i...

Objective: The surgical resection of brain areas with high rates of visually identified high frequency oscillations (HFOs) on EEG has been correlated with improved seizure control. However, it can be difficult to distinguish normal from pathological HFOs, and the visual detection of HFOs is very time-intensive. An automated algorithm for detecting HFOs and for wide-band spectral analysis is des...
