* This work was supported by the Brain Korea 21 Project. AbstractIn content-based image retrieval (CBIR), content of an image can be expressed in terms of different features such as color, texture, shape, or text annotations. Retrieval based on these features can be various by the way how to combine the feature values. Most of the existing approaches assume a linear relationship between differe...

This review highlights the recent key advances in the biology of CD4+ effector T cells, antigen-presenting cells, Th17 and T regulatory cells, as well as immediate effector cells, such as mast cells, basophils and eosinophils, which are critically contributing to the better understanding of the pathophysiology of allergic diseases and are helping to improve their diagnosis and therapy. Some of ...

N RECENT YEARS MANY countries have adopted or made progress toward adopting legislative proposals removing their central banks from government control, that is, making them independent. Between 1989 and 1991, New Zealand, Chile and Canada enacted legislation that increased the independence of their central banks. The 1992 Treaty on European Union (Maastricht Treaty) requires European Community ...

In the paper 5 cases of hiding corpses after homicides were presented, in two cases corpses were buried, in two cases walled up inside buildings and in one case burned down. Time period between homicide and corpse finding was from one year to 14 years.

Services trade is an important component of international trade. Its importance is drawing growing academic and government attention. This paper analyzes the current development of China’s service trade. For the transport and tourism are two of the more important services sector, this paper gives more detailed attention. Meanwhile, this paper analyzes the some problems faced by the development ...

AbstractIn this work faster column compression multiplication has been achieved by using a combination of two design techniques: partition of the partial products into two parts for independent parallel column compression and acceleration of the final addition using a hybrid adder proposed in this work. Based on the proposed techniques 8, 16, 32 and 64bit Dadda multipliers are developed and com...

AbstractIn this paper analyze the performance of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), it is important to identify what types of network settings can cause bad performance. Low throughput, high packet loss rate, delayed round trip time (RTT) for packets, increased retransmissions, and increased collisions are the main attributes to look for when analyzing poor network performance. We use the OP...

__________________________________________________________________________________________________ AbstractIn this paper, we explored the possibility of using Genetic Algorithm (GA) being used in Wireless Sensor Networks in general with specific emphasize on Fault tolerance. In Wireless sensor networks, usually sensor and sink nodes are separated by long communication distance and hence to opti...

AbstractIn this paper, we propose an architecture for hybrid services, i.e., services that span many network technologies, especially the PSTN and the Internet. These services will play an important role in the future, because they leverage on the existing infrastructures, rather than requiring brand-new and sophisticated mechanisms to be deployed. We explore a few issues related to hybrid serv...
