The exponential growth in demand for multimedia applications in wireless network has resulted in dramatic increased in different devices and connections accessing information. Indeed, this is primarily due to the fact that wireless and multimedia applications have been used quite extensively in business, commercial and communication industry. Supporting multimedia application in wireless enviro...

Early detection of employees’ improper access to sensitive or valuable data is critical to limiting negative financial impacts to an organization, including regulatory penalties for misuse of customer data that results from these insider attacks. Implementing a system for detecting insider attacks is a technical challenge that also involves business-process changes and decision making that prio...

Gene connection rewiring is an essential feature of gene network dynamics. Apart from its normal functional role, it may also lead to dysregulated functional states by disturbing pathway homeostasis. Very few computational tools measure rewiring within gene co-expression and its corresponding regulatory networks in order to identify and prioritize altered pathways which may or may not be differ...

Motivation and Objectives A major goal in biomedicine is to determine the underlying genetic causes of human diseases in order to better understand them and support their prevention and treatment. However, the genetic bases of many multifactorial diseases are still unclear, and high-throughput technologies typically report hundred or thousands of genes associated to a disease of interest. In th...

Invasive alien species are one of the primary threats to native biodiversity on islands worldwide. Consequently, eradicating invasive species from islands has become a mainstream conservation practice. Deciding which islands have the highest priority for eradication is of strategic importance to allocate limited resources to achieve maximum conservation benefit. Previous island prioritizations ...

Ethiopia is among the top six countries contributing to the highest numbers of maternal deaths globally. The Ethiopian total fertility rate was estimated at 4.8 in 2011, and the use of contraceptives by married women was 29%. Lack of knowledge, cultural stigma surrounding abortion, and barriers to access of services contribute to persistently high rates of unsafe abortion and abortion-related m...

INTRODUCTION Inadequate access to essential medicines is a common issue within developing countries. Policy response is constrained, amongst other factors, by a dearth of in-depth country level evidence. We share here i) gaps related to access to essential medicine in Pakistan; and ii) prioritization of emerging policy and research concerns. METHODS An exploratory research was carried out usi...

We apply a novel gene expression network analysis to a cohort of 182 recently reported candidate Epileptic Encephalopathy genes to identify those most likely to be true Epileptic Encephalopathy genes. These candidate genes were identified as having single variants of likely pathogenic significance discovered in a large-scale massively parallel sequencing study. Candidate Epileptic Encephalopath...
