Shadow fading is a well known problem in wireless sensor networks (WSN) and ad hoc networks since the communicating devices often are at street-level where the surrounding buildings often obstruct incoming radio waves. Therefore, accurately modeling shadow fading is an important requirement for the optimal design of such networks. Because the height of building is the most important parameter t...

anomaly detection (ad) has recently become an important application of target detection in hyperspectral images. the reed-xialoi (rx) is the most widely used ad algorithm that suffers from “small sample size” problem. the best solution for this problem is to use dimensionality reduction (dr) techniques as a pre-processing step for rx detector. using this method not only improves the detection p...

Abstract JMCT is a large-scale, high-fidelity, three-dimensional general neutron–photon–electron–proton transport Monte Carlo software system. It was developed based on the combinatorial geometry parallel infrastructure JCOGIN and adaptive structured mesh JASMIN. equipped with CAD modeling visualizes image output. supports of body structured/unstructured mesh. has most functions, variance reduc...

Aim: 1) To increase water solubility of indomethacin drug using mixed solvency approach. 2) To employ use of non toxic solubilizers for increasing solubility of a poorly water soluble drug. Study Design: Trial and error based experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: School of Pharmacy, Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, UTD, Takshashila Campus, Indore, India and College of Pharmacy, IPS Acade...

NASA’s Apollo program is a great achievement of mankind in the 20th century. Previously we had introduced UTD-CRSS Apollo data digitization initiative where we proposed to digitize Apollo mission speech data (~100,000 hours) and develop Spoken Language Technology based algorithms to analyze and understand various aspects of conversational speech[1]. A new 30 track analog audio decoder is design...

BACKGROUND Nationally, immunization coverage for the DTaP/3HPV/1MMR/3HepB/3Hib/1VZV antigen series in children ages 19-35 months are near or above the Healthy People 2020 target (80%). However, children in lower socioeconomic families experience lower coverage rates. OBJECTIVE Using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, Community Health Improvement for Milwaukee Children (...

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and cloprostenol (CLO) administration on oestrus synchronisation, uterine development as well as serum LH and FSH concentrations in mice. One hundred and five KM mice were assigned into eCG-1, eCG-2, eCG-3, CLO-1, CLO-2, CLO-3 and control groups (CG, n = 15). The eCG-1, eCG-2 and eCG-3 groups were intra...

OF ANNUAL REPORT The research reported in this annual report was carried out mainly at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) between December 1, 2007 and November 30, 2008. It describes the issues and challenges for information operations across infospheres and focuses on assured information sharing. We have examined three models: In the first model the partners of the coalition are considere...
