One of the important applications of the quality of monitoring (QoM) on target tracking in wireless sensor networks is reducing the overall power consumption in the monitoring / tracking procedures. We present, an optimal (sensor) transmission power problem is analytically formulated and its optimal solution is found such that a given constraint on the QoM is satisfied. Next, an optimum quantiz...

Integration of multiple heterogeneous data sources continues to be a critical problem for many application domains and a challenge for researchers world-wide. Schema matching, a fundamental aspect of integration, has been a well-studied problem. However researchers have, for the most part, concentrated on the development of different schema matching algorithms, and their performance with respec...

Este artículo analiza la producción de materiales escritos en lengua qom o bilingües qom-castellano, realizados por indígenas dicho colectivo un contexto religioso inserción misional protestante, el noreste Argentina entre 1960-1970. Los textos responden a finalidades diversas: religiosas, productivas y educativas; corresponden, lo tanto, géneros tales como epístolas, reflexiones bíblicas carti...

BACKGROUND Arm nonuse, defined as the difference between what the individual can do when constrained to use the paretic arm and what the individual does when given a free choice to use either arm, has not yet been quantified in individuals poststroke. OBJECTIVES (1) To quantify nonuse poststroke and (2) to develop and test a novel, simple, objective, reliable, and valid instrument, the Bilate...

BACKGROUND There is very little information about the mosquito fauna of Qom Province, central Iran. By now only three species; Anopheles claviger, An. multicolor, and An. superpictus have been reported in the province. To study mosquito fauna and providing a primary checklist, an investigation was carried out on a collection of mosquitoes in this province. METHODS TO STUDY THE MOSQUITO (DIPTE...

We read with interest the paper entitled “Prevalence of Hepatitis D Virus Infection among Hepatitis B Virus Infected Patients in Qom Province, Center of Iran” by Ghadir et al. (1) which was performed to determine the prevalence of hepatitis D in the general population of Qom province and the potential risk factors for acquiring HDV. They found 48 subjects (1.3%) suffered from hepatitis B and on...

The vitality and utility of a network are affected significantly by the network management system (NMS) that is used to administer and monitor the network. However, models that can characterize the quality of a NMS are generally missing in the literature. In this paper, we introduce the concept of quality of monitoring (QoM), provide a mathematical formulation based on stochastic processes that...

BACKGROUND The Gran Chaco ecoregion, a hotspot for Chagas and other neglected tropical diseases, is home to >20 indigenous peoples. Our objective was to identify the main ecological and sociodemographic determinants of house infestation and abundance of Triatoma infestans in traditional Qom populations including a Creole minority in Pampa del Indio, northeastern Argentina. METHODS A cross-sec...

Wireless multimedia sensor network is a type of sensor networks, which is capable to extort the nearby ecological information, locally processing it and then wirelessly transmit it to the base station. The large amount of data is processed and transmitted in the wireless multimedia sensor network so that high energy consumption which leads to packet error rate and inefficiency in bandwidth and ...
