in this paper, we present a novel algorithm for vanet using cloud computing. we accomplish processing, routing and traffic control in a centralized and parallel way by adding one or more server to the network. each car or node is considered a client, in such a manner that routing, traffic control, getting information from client and data processing and storing are performed by one or more serve...

apart from regular wheel wear such as decreasing wheel diameters and reduced flange thicknesses and heights, wheel flats (wf) and oval wheels (or oor, out-of-roundness) are the most common wheelset problems for railway vehicles. within the fp7 research project “saferail”, apt has developed an innovative wheelset monitoring system so-called “wheel flat and out of roundness monitoring (worm) syst...

groundwater is the main source of potable water in most areas of mazandaran province, like sari and babol city. thus the safety of groundwater supplies is very important in these regions. unfortunately attention to groundwater quality has remained limited in iran. in recent years, the growth of industry, technology, population, and water use has increased the stress upon both land and water res...

introduction: we present a retrospective two-center study series and discussion of the current literature to assess the benefits of facial nerve monitoring during parotidectomy. materials and methods: from 2007 to 2012, 128 parotidectomies were performed in 125 patients. of these, 47 procedures were performed without facial nerve monitoring (group 1) and 81 with facial nerve monitoring (group 2...

A system for creating a dynamically generated hierarchical communication structure is designed. It is an hierarchical system with mechanisms to make the system more robust. The system has low network load due to restricted nature. Applications for system monitoring and solving optimisation problem are implemented to demonstrate the applicability of the system.

This book is a collection of experiences in participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) from around the world. It allows different ‘voices’ to tell their story from their different perspectives, contexts, and settings. The purpose of the book is not to establish a singular definition of PM&E practice, but to pull together these experiences, review these efforts, and see what key issues and q...

As variety of applications and services that can be provided on packet switched networks has strongly increased over the last years and keeps on increasing, the need for an accurate network monitoring has become an important challenge to be dealt with accurately. Among the different parameters that can be considered for the traffic monitoring on a path, this paper focuses the attention on the a...

In recent times, we are witnessing an increasing concern by governments and intelligence agencies to deploy mass-surveillance systems that help them fight terrorism. In this paper, we conduct a formal analysis of the overall cost of such surveillance systems. Our analysis starts with a fairly-known result in statistics, namely, the false-positive paradox. We propose a quantitative measure of th...

he American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) posted 2 practice alerts to address issues in cardiac monitoring in 2004 and updated them in April 2008. The alerts addressed 2 main reasons for use of cardiac bedside monitoring. The first reason is to detect and provide early intervention for episodes of myocardial ischemia and injury. Skilled Cardiac Monitoring at the Bedside: An Algorit...
