A method is presented for automated segmentation of vessels in two-dimensional color images of the retina. This method can be used in computer analyses of retinal images, e.g., in automated screening ...

One of the more interesting developments recently gaining popularity in the server-side JavaScript space is Node.js. It's a framework for developing high-performance, concurrent programs that don't ...

This note studies the global robust output regulation problem for a class of nonlinear systems by an output-based event-triggered control law. First, we convert the problem into the event-triggered ...

Device-to-device (D2D) communication is one of the most promising technologies in wireless cellular networks that can be employed to improve spectral and energy efficiency, increase data rates, and ...

In this paper, a generalized discontinuous pulsewidth modulation (GDPWM) method with superior high modulation operating range performance characteristics is developed. An algorithm which employs the ...

In this paper, a systematic review of bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) boost rectifiers, also called dual boost PFC rectifiers, is presented. Performance comparison between the conventional ...

In this article, we introduce an Internet of Things application, smart community, which refers to a paradigmatic class of cyber-physical systems with cooperating objects (i.e., networked smart homes).

Moore's law has accurately predicted the growth of computing power from the increasing density of transistor devices on integrated circuit (IC) chips. Many believe this trend will continue ...

A general formulation of the feeder reconfiguration problem for loss reduction and load balancing is given, and a novel solution method is presented. The solution uses a search over different radial ...

The advent of digital pathology provides us with the challenging opportunity to automatically analyze whole slides of diseased tissue in order to derive quantitative profiles that can be used for ...

The measurement of the parameters of complex signals with constant amplitude and polynomial phase, measured in additive noise, is considered. A novel new integral transform that is adapted for signals ...

Pervasive healthcare applications utilizing body sensor networks generate a vast amount of data that need to be managed and stored for processing and future usage. Cloud computing among with the ...
