This paper proposes a new approach to the well known LiuLayland periodic scheduling problem. This approach proves that any justin-time sequence with maximum absolute deviation being less than one is in fact a periodic schedule. Consequently, periodic schedules can be obtained by any algorithm capable of generating just-in-time sequences with maximum absolute deviation being less than one, for i...

BACKGROUND Automatic control of depth of hypnosis using the Bispectral Index (BIS) can help to reduce phases of inadequate control. Automated BIS control with propofol or isoflurane administration via an infusion system has recently been described, a comparable study with isoflurane administration via a vaporizer had not been conducted yet. Our hypothesis was that our new model based closed-loo...

OBJECTIVE To delineate the clinical behaviour of chronic benign neutropenia in Chinese children in Hong Kong. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING University teaching hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS All infants and children with absolute neutrophil count of 1.5 x 10(9) /L or lower for more than 3 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Development of significant infection, and achievement of remissi...

a multiple linear regression model is proposed to calculate capacity factor of  analytes using structural features computed using hyperchem software. the  chemical descriptors of analytes were computed using hyperchem software and  regressed against the experimental capacity factors of analytes collected from the  literature. the absolute average percentage deviation (aard) and individual perce...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the subjective visual vertical in patients with bilateral vestibular dysfunction and to propose a new method to analyze subjective visual vertical data in these patients. METHODS Static subjective visual vertical tests were performed in 40 subjects split into two groups. Group A consisted of 20 healthy volunteers, and Group B consisted of 20 patie...

With the rapid growth of security threats in computer networks, need for developing efficient security-warning systems is substantially increasing. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and DoS attacks are still among most effective dreadful that require robust detection. In this work, we propose a new method to detect TCP DoS/DDoS attacks. Since analyzing network traffic promising approach, our...
