    Indoor localization in wireless sensor networks

    No full text
    We considered the issue of indoor localization through the use of wireless sensor networks (WSN). We value not necessary the algorithm that provides the best accuracy but the one that provides a good enough level of accuracy in a simple and efficient manner. In the first part of our work we examined some state-of-the-art localization techniques that are deployable on wireless sensor motes. These techniques are evaluated to a set of criteria that an indoor WSN-based localization application must consider. In our investigation, we considered not only accuracy but many other factors that determine a suitable indoor WSN-based localization system. These factors among other things determine energy efficiency. We broadly separate the criteria list into two categories: efficiency-based and accuracy-based. We discovered that one of the techniques, Ecolocation, evaluates quite well to the efficiency-based criteria, but the evaluation of the accuracy-based criterions is not as promising. However, the inherent simplicity and potential for good performance (based on open environment results) make the algorithm quite attractive. We proceeded to modify the algorithm to improve its accuracy while maintaining its positive qualities. Our Weighted-Constraints algorithm, named as such due to the nature of the modification, performs in terms of average error 13.1% better than the original Ecolocation algorithm in an open environment. Furthermore, our modified algorithm shows it is more robust to noise compared to the original algorithm by perform on average 21.2% better in a noisy environment.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 83-85)

    Reading at risk: why effective literacy practice is not effective.

    No full text
    The gap between high and low achievers in reading is wide in New Zealand compared to other countries as shown in PIRLS (Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) 2001 and 2006 studies. Students of minority backgrounds and low socio-economic status are over-represented in the low achieving category. As the primary response to reduce the achievement gap, the Government developed and distributed the literacy teaching reference Effective Literacy Practice in Years 1 to 4. This article examines Effective Literacy Practice against current scientificbased international research in the teaching of reading, with particular emphasis on the teaching of reading to students at risk. Research evidence shows that an explicit and systematic approach to teaching reading is critical to the success of reading achievement with at-risk students. With a heavy leaning towards incidental learning, Effective Literacy Practice fails to provide teachers with the necessary knowledge to effectively teach the critical components of reading

    No full text
    This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: Primary objective 1. To assess beneficial and adverse effects of psychological, social and welfare interventions versus no treatment for the reduction of psychological distress in torture survivors. Secondary objectives 2. To describe the quality and generalisability of the studies evaluating the effects of these treatment approaches on torture survivors, and specifically: • to provide an objective assessment of risk of bias in these studies; • to describe the specific populations evaluated in studies of torture survivors (including demographics, torture experiences and psychological status); • to describe the variety of interventions that have been evaluated in these populations; and • to describe the outcomes evaluated in these intervention studies

    Process Monitoring of Village Health and Nutrition Days (Mamta Days) In Navsari District, Gujarat, India

    Background: Village Health and Nutrition Day (VHND) identified as an important tool to provide a unique platform at village level to deliver health and nutrition services to RMNCH+A programme beneficiaries. Objectives: (1) to assess the availability of logistics and supplies at VHNDs and (2) to monitor the process of services at VHNDs. Method: It was a cross-sectional study, in which 15 VHNDs selected from Navsari district by multi-stage random sampling method. Out of total 15 planned visits, 14 completed in a calendar year. Data analyzed using MS Excel software. Results: All VHND sessions visited were as per the microplan, equipped with key staff , logistics and supplies like weighing scale, mamta card, and growth chart, vaccines (except BCG- not available at 20% sites), medicines and supplements were available at all sites. BP instrument, thermometer, hemoglobinometer and uristrix strips were available at 70-90% sessions. Immunization and growth monitoring, two main services of VHND were satisfactory at all sites. Skill of blood pressure measurement and Hb estimation was satisfactory where it was available. However, antenatal examination, nutrition counselling, family planning counselling and supportive supervision were deficient at majority sites

    Abstract: The mixture of some rare metal ions with an important 2-(1,3-Benzoxazole -2-yl - sulfanyl)-N-phenyl acetamide (BSPA) ligand to form coordination complex is an important area of current research. Less explored biologically important 2-(1,3-benzoxazole -2-yl - sulfanyl )-N-phenyl acetamide ligand is allowed to react with solution of some rare metal perchlorate and attempt has been made to synthesize solid 2-(1,3-benzoxazole -2-yl- sulfanyl )-N-phenyl acetamide complex. These 2-(1,3-benzoxazole-2-yl-sulfanyl)-N-phenyl acetamide complex are subjected to antimicrobial activity of these complex has been evaluated by standard methods and attempts have been made to correlate structural characteristics with properties of these 2-(1,3-benzoxazole -2-yl - sulfanyl )-N-phenyl acetamide complex. Keywords: 2-(1,3-Benzoxazole-2-yl-sulfanyl)-N-phenyl acetamide(BSPA) complex, chemical kinetics, catalysis, antibacterial activity, antifungal activity.

    A high-level approach to test generation for VLSI circuits

    No full text
    The traditional approaches to test generation made use of the gate level representation of the circuit. This test generation problem is known to be NP-Complete for combinational circuits. A high level test generation approach has been designed on the basis of the branch and bound search procedure. This approach contains a data path test generator and a control circuit test generator.The data path is modeled using a data flow graph. The gate level test generation concepts of propagation, justification and implication have been extended to high level. A dependency directed backtracking scheme has been designed for the algorithm.The control circuit for test generation is modeled as a gate level interconnection of primitives. The data path is modeled as a high level interconnection. A sequential circuit test generation algorithm has been designed based upon forward time processing. A novel concept of initialization inference has been introduced.Both of the approaches have been demonstrated to be very effective.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:16:15Z (GMT).

    Cache memory management in real-time systems

    No full text
    Dependable real-time systems are essential to time-critical applications. The systems that run these applications require high degrees of performance and predictability. Although memory caching has long been known as a means of increasing system performance, it is typically unpredictable in nature.This thesis presents a technique called preferred preemption points to increase the predictability and performance of cache-based real-time systems. A performance analysis tool and methodology designed to select and evaluate preemption points are presented with the technique. The technique increases the ability to calculate system preemption overhead, leading to greater determinism and consequently performance, and providing for tighter bounds on calculated worst-case execution times. The performance of preferred preemption points is demonstrated using the analysis tool. Results are provided for various system configurations. System configurations are defined by cache characteristics and preemption frequencies. In some instances results have shown a 10% reduction in execution time with preferred preemption points. Such savings in execution time provide greater flexibility in scheduling and increase throughput of time-critical tasks. The thesis addresses the issue of including preferred preemption points into real-time scheduling algorithms. Other system considerations with regard to preferred preemption points are also considered.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:26:33Z (GMT).
