The InterAsterisk eXchange (IAX) protocol has been available for a few years. Meanwhile, the popularity of Real time SWitching (RSW) has increased due to its ability to easily combine voice and video services. Incidentally, these two heterogeneous clients pose considerable problems for users who have to choose between two solutions offering different advantages and disadvantages. While RSW is b...

The reconstruction of sparse signal is an active area research. Different from a typical i.i.d. assumption, this paper considers non-independent prior group structure. For more practical setup, we propose EM-aided HyGEC, new algorithm to address the stability issue and hyper-parameter facing other algorithms. instability problem results ill condition transform matrix, while unavailability hyper...

It is well known that software development companies tend to produce over-optimistic cost estimates and that this over-optimism may lead to delivery problems for the clients as well as the providers. In this paper we summarize evidence suggesting that the clients can reduce the likelihood of selecting providers with bids based on over-optimistic cost estimates through their control of the biddi...

Purpose. To develop a scale to measure (social) participation for use in rehabilitation, stigma reduction and social integration programmes. Method. A scale development study was carried out in Nepal, India and Brazil using standard methods. The instrument was to be based on the Participation domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), be cross-cultu...

the notion of a $d$-poset was introduced in a connection withquantum mechanical models. in this paper, we introduce theconditional expectation of  random variables on thek^{o}pka's $d$-poset and prove the basic properties ofconditional expectation on this  structure.

The proliferation of the Internet is leading to high expectation on the fast turnaround time. Clients abandoning their connections due to excessive downloading delays translates directly to profit losses. Hence, minimizing the latency perceived by end-users has become the primary performance objective compared to more traditional issues, such as server utilization. The two promising techniques ...
