The ever increasing demand of the subscribers has put pressure on the capacity of wireless networks around the world. To utilize the scare resources, in the present paper we propose an optimal allocation scheme for an integrated wireless/cellular model with handoff priority and handoff guarantee services. The suggested algorithm optimally allocates the resources in each cell and dynamically adj...

Medicine is an ever changing science and more so are neurological sciences with breathtaking developments occurring on a day to day basis. Technological advances have helped us understand and diagnose diseases better. With the advent of various MRI techniques, neurology has received a face change. Newer diagnostic tests have come and helped us diagnose hitherto unknown diseases. Latest drugs ha...

This study reports on the evaluation of the feasibility, cost, and cost-effectiveness of a proactively provided telephone-based motivational smoking cessation intervention to an underserved population of pregnant smokers who may or may not receive ongoing prenatal care. As part of the New England SCRIPT randomized clinical trial comparing the efficacy of three types of smoking cessation interve...

In this paper the basic ideas underlying the implementation of a Code Generator for B(PN) 2 (Basic Petri Net ProgrammingNotation), i.e. a translator of B(PN) 2 into C is presented. The core syntax of the source language is extended by C-routine calls (i.e user deened procedures or system calls) as atomic commands. The target language is represented in terms of the ANSI C Standard with its opera...

Radiative transfer calculations in atmospheric models are computationally expensive, even if based on simplifications such as the δ-two-stream approximation. In most weather prediction models these parameterisation schemes are therefore called infrequently, accepting additional model error due to the persistence assumption between calls. This paper presents two so-called adaptive parameterisati...

The Call My Net 2015 (CMN15) corpus presents a new resource for Speaker Recognition Evaluation and related technologies. The corpus includes conversational telephone speech recordings for a total of 220 speakers spanning 4 languages: Tagalog, Cantonese, Mandarin and Cebuano. The corpus includes 10 calls per speaker made under a variety of noise conditions. Calls were manually audited for langua...

Abstract — The demand for wireless mobile networks led to an increase in handoff calls. Optimum utilization of the channel should be planned as it is the limited resource for any mobile network. Poorly designed handoff schemes lead to a drastic decrease in quality of service. The study gives an analytical framework of handoff procedure when some channels are purely reserved for handoff calls. I...

Modern application frameworks such as the Common Language Infrastructure (the core technology behind .NET) and Java are designed with sophisticated remoting capabilities at their core. This allows programmers to quickly and easily produce distributed applications using standard object-oriented techniques. Although this is largely beneficial, most object-oriented APIs are not well suited to remo...
