A massive amount of medical data is available in healthcare industry, which can be utilized to extract useful knowledge. Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) used improve patient’s safety by minimizing errors. Heart disease one the major chronic maladies even todays’ world. Many researchers have employed different mining techniques predict heart disease. The objective proposed framework accu...

Ever since the late 1980’s, when grade A shell eggs were associated for the first time with cases of human illness caused by Salmonella enteritidis (Se), the commercial layer industry in the United States has been presented with numerous and variable difficulties in presenting its product, the table egg, for what it is: a completely natural food item of excellent nutritional value, with undoubt...

A general fundamental relation connecting the correlation of Stokes and anti-Stokes modes to the quantum statistical behavior of vibration and pump modes in Raman-active materials is derived. We show that under certain conditions this relation can be used to determine the equilibrium number variance of phonons. Time and temperature ranges for which such conditions can be satisfied are studied a...

Time-Dependent Contraction Hierarchies is a routing technique that solves the shortest path problem in graphs with time-dependent edge weights, that have to satisfy the FIFO property. Although it shows great speedups over Dijkstra’s Algorithm the preprocessing is slow. We present a parallelized version of the preprocessing taking advantage of the multiple cores present in todays CPUs. Nodes ind...

Within two projects it is studied how the rapid radiative transfer model JURASSIC (Juelich Rapid Spectral Simulation Code) performs in cluster computing environments. We do so, having data analysis of future atmospheric satellite experiments in mind, which are likely to provide 10 – 100 times more measurement data than todays instruments. First studies presented here are based on radiance measu...

The emerging area of Multimodality can be well demonstrated in the operation of a Telecom. Within France Telecom there are thriving fixline, Internet and mobile businesses that can benefit from the use of Multimodal interactions. In todays networks, Multimodal interactions are particularly relevant to the mobile space, where constraints of the network and handset have a driving influence on the...

This paper considers the multi-processing module Prefork in the Unix version of Apache, one of the most widely applied software solutions for Web servers in todays Internet. It analyzes its dynamic pool size behavior. For the first time, we propose a queueing model to approximate the performance of the latter. Numerical results computed by advanced matrix-analytic methods are compared with meas...

In this paper an approach towards scalable group (many-tomany) communication across ATM networks is presented. Many network based applications rely on the concept of groups with dynamic membership. Todays ATM networks do not provide an adequate support for group communication as for example is available with IP multicast. In this document a hierarchical solution is described that adapts to the ...
