In recent years data analysis and protection are the two important parameters in any organization to improve the efficiency and privacy. In hospital management, privacy plays a crucial role. In order to hide the patient’s related databases effective data mining algorithms are to be implemented. In this project we are going to create a database and perform different algorithms on it, so as to ma...

OBJECTIVES This research investigated the barriers, attitudes, and dietary behaviors related to sodium reduction among the elderly Korean-Chinese population in Yanbian, China. METHODS We conducted this pilot study using both descriptive research and a focus group interview at the elderly community center in Yanbian. RESULTS In total, 21 elderly Korean-Chinese (average age, 71 years) were ex...

In this preliminary paper we study the stability property of a consensus on the average algorithm in arbitrary directed graphs with respect to communication/sensing timedelays. The proposed algorithm adds a storage variable to the agents’ states so that the information about the average of the states is preserved despite the algorithm iterations are performed in an arbitrary strongly connected ...

Based on a standard software ray-tracer with soft shadowing and glossy reflection capabilities, I present a per-pixel displacement mapping algorithm. This algorithm modifies the intersection routine already used for shadows and reflections and so they are preserved. The algorithm relies on a distance map, which along with a normal map for lighting information, can be generated for each point in...

Model reduction problem was investigated for singular systems. To solve the problem, the Silverman-Ho algorithm was given, and based on this algorithm, an optimal model reduction method for the fast subsystem was presented to obtain reduced-order stable models for singular systems. Sequentially, the H∞ suboptimal model reduction algorithm was obtained for singular systems. The advantage of the ...

We propose and analyze an inexact version of the modified subgradient (MSG) algorithm, which we call the IMSG algorithm, for nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization over a compact set. We prove that under an approximate, i.e. inexact, minimization of the sharp augmented Lagrangian, the main convergence properties of the MSG algorithm are preserved for the IMSG algorithm. Inexact minimization may a...

In the hen oviduct, tubules have been identified that preserve the sperm, maintaining viability for up to 15 weeks. This study aimed to evaluate the physiological status of rooster sperm when preserved in vitro with uterus vaginal junction secretions (UVJS). Males and females of the Rhode Island breed were used. Sperm aliquots were prepared using Lake extender and Lake extender with UV...

We give an algorithm to morph between two planar graph drawings of a graph, preserving planarity. The morph uses a polynomial number of elementary steps. Each step, is composed of a linear morph or a sequence of two linear morphs allowing a vertex to change direction. The planarity is preserved by allowing edges to bend to avoid collisions with the features of the drawing. This algorithm also p...

This article describes the addition to the von Neumann cellular automaton of the Tom Thumb Algorithm, a mechanism developed for the self-replication of multi-processor systems. Except for the cell construction process, every functionality of the original CA has been preserved in our new system. Moreover, the Tom Thumb Algorithm now allows the replication of any structure within the von Neumann ...

Effects of the model order estimation error in the TLS-ESPRIT algorithm were investigated. It was found that if the model order is overestimated true signal parameters are preserved even though spurious signals of which power values are negligibly small appear, whereas if the model order is underestimated some signals degenerate to each others, resulting in the erroneous estimates. key words: t...
