the pathogenesis of bipolar i disorder (bp-i) involves immune-mediated mechanisms, especially an imbalance in pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokines in plasma or cerebrospinal fluid. interleukin-1 (il-1) gene cluster, coding some of these pro-inflammatory cytokines, might play a role in various neuropathologies related to neuron inflammation. the aim of the present study was to investigat...

In this work we propose a model-based clustering method for time series. The model uses an almost surely discrete Bayesian nonparametric prior to induce clustering of the series. Specifically we propose a general Poisson-Dirichlet process mixture model, which includes the Dirichlet process mixture model as particular case. The model accounts for typical features present in a time series like tr...

In WSNs, energy efficiency and low latency are considered as two key issues in designing routing protocol. This paper introduces two schemes to combine clustering strategy with chain routing algorithm in order to satisfy both energy and delay constraints in WSNs. Furthermore by one scheme, we propose a two layer hierarchical routing protocol called Chain Routing Based on Coordinatesoriented Clu...

In today’s world Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are an emerging technology for monitoring physical environment. WSNs consist of small nodes with sensing, computation and wireless communications capabilities. These sensor nodes are constrained in energy supply, processing and storage. Such constraints combined with a typical deployment of large number of sensor nodes have posed many challenges ...
