Abstract Objective Depression is currently the second most significant contributor to non-fatal disease burdens globally. While it treatable, depression remains undiagnosed in many cases. As mobile phones have now become an integral part of daily life, this study examines possibility screening for depressive symptoms continuously based on patients’ usage patterns. Materials and Methods 412 research participants reported a range their statistics. Beck Inventory—2nd ed (BDI-II) was used...

The proposed method is based on fuzzy reinforcement learning techniques operates fully distributed autonomous fashion without any need for priori information or human interventions. shown be capable handling extremely noisy feedback from mobile users as well being responsive the changes environment including self-healing properties....

Optimization of antenna downtilt is an important aspect coverage optimization in cellular networks. In this paper, algorithm based on the combination fuzzy logic and reinforcement learning proposed applied to problem achieve self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing functionalities required for future communication To evaluate efficiency scheme, we use a detailed Long Term Evolution (LTE) simulation environment employ configuring optimizing angle LTE base station antennas. This...

We formulate adaptation of antenna tilt angle as a utility fair optimization task. This problem is nonconvex, but in this paper we show that, under reasonable conditions, it can be reformulated convex optimization. Using insight, develop lightweight method for finding the optimal angles, making use measurements that are already available at base stations, and suited to distributed implementation.

The use of the internet and web-based platforms to obtain public health information manage health-related issues has become widespread in this digital age. practice is so pervasive that first reaction obtaining "Google it." As SARS-CoV-2 broke out Wuhan, China, December 2019 quickly spread worldwide, people flocked learn about novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19. Lagging responses by governments agencies prioritize dissemination outbreak through World Wide Web build trust gave room for...

ABSTRACT The paper investigates the influence of government policy‐mix choices fiscal, exchange rate, and monetary policies, as reflected in reserve money changes, on tax effort non‐hydrocarbon offset. We find a positive association between changes Hydrocarbon‐dependent countries that rely more seigniorage or allocate larger share hydrocarbon revenues to current budget will exhibit higher growth reduced effort. combined effect indicates is significantly lower than previously suggested...

Decision sciences (DSC) involves studying complex dynamic systems and processes to aid informed choices subject constraints in uncertain conditions. It integrates multidisciplinary methods strategies evaluate decision engineering processes, identifying alternatives providing insights toward enhancing prudent decision-making. This study analyzes the evolutionary trends innovation DSC education research over past 25 years. Using metadata from bibliographic records employing science mapping...

This paper investigates the effect of small cell deployments in urban and dense areas from energy consumption perspective. Considering a parametric power model for legacy macrocell networks new emerging cells, this study quantifies reduction gain by deploying heterogeneous consisting mixture both technologies. As part study, framework is developed which determines optimal network architecture terms combination cells macrocells. While optimality merely decided based on overall performance,...

Abstract Background Selenoprotein P (SeP) is involved in transporting selenium from the liver to target tissues. Because SeP confers protection against disease by reducing chronic oxidative stress, present study aimed assess level of serum patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) a history cardiovascular (CVD). Methods A cross‐sectional was conducted 63 and 71 subjects without MetS presence documented CVD. All demographic, anthropometric cardiometabolic variables (lipids, blood glucose,...

Micronutrient deficiencies represent a major global health issue, with over 2 billion individuals experiencing in essential vitamins and minerals. Food labels provide consumers information regarding the nutritional content of food items have been identified as potential tool for improving diets. However, due to governmental regulations physical limitations labels, often lack comprehensive about minerals present foods. As result, most micronutrients is absent from existing labels.This paper...

Purpose This study aims to examine the effect of hotels’ star ratings and customer on online hotel prices from both supply- demand-side perspectives. Design/methodology/approach To compile supply-side data, a Web crawler was designed implemented read characteristics available hotels Trivago. Demand-side data were compiled surveys conducted using Amazon Mechanical Turk portal. Data analyzed with an array advanced machine learning regression models. Findings The results show that while rating...

This paper demonstrates that growth codes, based on Raptor channel coding, allow incremental protection of H.264 video codec data-partitioned network adaption layer units. When combined with increased reference frames, in an ADSL erasure up to 10 dB quality (PSNR) can be gained through this scheme compared equal error rateless codes. Equivalent gains occur a wireless from combining data-partitioning protection. The bitrate overhead is also shown less than other resilient tools.

Packet-level Forward Error Control (FEC) for video streaming over a wireless network has received comparatively limited investigation, because of the delay introduced by need to assemble group packets. However, packet-level interleaving when combined with FEC presents remedy time-correlated error bursts, though it can further increase if this issue is not addressed. This paper proposes adapting overall degree interleaved according display deadlines packets, transmit buffer occupation, and...

The Bluetooth wireless link is likely to be the last hop in delivery of an encoded streamed video clip. It shown that it preferable optimally map arriving IP packets onto than preserve stream's internal synchronisation structure. Video quality improves and latency reduces, even when there cross traffic on piconet.

This paper introduces a novel technique for self-optimisation of antenna down-tilting. The proposed solution consists two phases. During the first phase, which needs to be performed quickly, method based on Golden Section Search (GSS) algorithm is used find near-optimal tilt angle. Then, in next step, angle value fine-tuned through frequent explorations region. Additionally, benefits from self-healing properties by responding failure neighbouring cell. In this case, adapted new optimal point...

This paper introduces an effective yet simple and practical solution to improve small-cell performance in heterogeneous networks (HetNets).
