Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) generally have a many-to-one structure so that event information flows from sensors to a unique sink.In recent WSN applications, many-to-many structures evolved due to the need for conveying collected event information to multiple sinks.Privacy preserved data collection models in the literature do not solve the probl

Utility functions in Bayesian experimental design are usually based on the posterior distribution.When the posterior is found by simulation, it must be sampled from for each future dataset drawn from the prior predictive distribution.Many thousands of posterior distributions are often required.A popular technique in the Bayesian experimental design

A cross-sectional serosurvey was performed to identify environmental features or practices of dairy farms associated with risk for exposure to Summer Hat vaccinia-like viruses in dairy cattle in Brazil.Sera from 103 cows from 18 farms in Minas Gerais state were examined for Orthopoxvirus-neutralizing antibodies.A database of 243 binary or multiple-

Background: Some organs in the body are sensitive to radiation such as eyes, breast, and gonads.Protection of sensitive organs against radiation is necessary.Recently, many sensitive organ shields have been developed from different materials.Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the dose reduction and image quality from implementation of
