Cloud computing is currently emerging quickly as a client-server technology structure and, currently, providing distributed service applications. However, given the availability of a diverse range of wireless access technologies, people expect continuous connection to the most suitable technology that matchers price affordability and performance go

In many contemporary database applications such as multi-criteria decision-making and real-time decision-support applications, data mining, ecommerce and recommendation systems, users need query operators to process the data aiming at finding the results that best fit with their preferences. Skyline queries are one of the most predominant query ope

Many research works have been conducted focusing on pro-cessing skyline queries on databases. Recently, some approaches have been proposed to address the issue of skyline queries for a partially complete da-tabase in which data item values might not be presented (missing). Howev-er, these approaches are tailored for centralized database and accesse

The main limitation of conventional antibiotic therapies concerns the low efficacy to fight bacteria attacks during long treatment times. In this context, the integrated use of electrofluidodynamics (EFDs)—basically electrospinning and electrospraying—may represent an interesting route for designing nanostructured platforms with controlled rele

This research focuses on the design and development educational game using Microsoft Kinect. The edugame can be used as educational tool in a classroom as to create an interesting and interactive learning process. This research is also focused on mathematics as its educational content using Microsoft Visual C#, XNA Game Studio, Microsoft Kinect for

Nowadays, there is a growing interest in the smart home system using Internet of Things. One of the important aspect in the smart home system is the security capability which can simply lock and unlock the door or the gate. In this paper, we proposed a face recognition security system using Raspberry Pi which can be connected to the smart home syst

Multichannel audio or surround sound compression is rather more challenging to compress compare to mono and stereo audio. Nowadays, many methods and algorithms have been proposed to improve the compression performance on multichannel audio. This book focuses on performance evaluation of various algorithms on multichannel audio compression. First, w

Background: A 47-year-old lady with HIVV infection presented with progressive weight loss, heat intolerance and tremor 46 months after initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). No previous thyroid disorders or significant family history. She has bilateral exophthalmos and diffuse neck swelling. Laboratory findings showed high level of thyroxine a

A search for supersymmetry is performed in events with a single electron or muon in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1. Several exclusive search regions are defined based on the number of jets and b-tagged jet

Results are reported from a search for R-parity violating supersymmetry in proton-proton collision events collected by the CMS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of ffiffi s p ¼ 8 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 17.6 fb−1. This search assumes a minimal flavor violating model in which the lightest supersymmetric
