In recent years, the range of sensing technologies has expanded rapidly, whereas sensor devices have become cheaper. This led to a rapid expansion in condition monitoring systems, structures, vehicles, and machinery using sensors. Key factors are advances networking such as wireless communication mobile ad hoc coupled with technology integrate devices. Wireless networks (WSNs) can be used for railway infrastructure bridges, rail tracks, track beds, equipment along vehicle health chassis,...

As the outsourcing market has matured over past 20 years, clients and suppliers have begun to examine how these complex relationships can not only achieve cost savings, but also enable innovation in today's dynamic business environment. This article presents four case studies of large-scale information technology that take equal measure suppliers. It develops a model within consisting nine key enablers for achieving innovation. The then links three levels were identified studies. provides...

The disruptive innovation theory of Clayton Christensen was heavily criticized in an article New Yorker magazine by Jill Lepore. Her evaluated Christensen's research methodology and analysis found both lacking. Lepore's criticisms identified several symptoms problems within the research, but stopped short presenting root causes. This looks at diagnoses three causes for recognized Lepore: a lack adequately constrained definition term innovation; failure to identify maintain consistent unit...

Leading in extremis situations, when lives are peril, remains one of the least addressed areas leadership research. Little is known about how leaders make sense these dangerous situations and communicate contexts to others. Because most literature on theoretical, we sought empirical evidence sensemaking proceeds practice. A qualitative study was conducted based interviews with 30 Army who had recently led teams combat. Our findings suggest that during life-threatening sensegiving actually...

Abstract The history of the decline Ivory‐billed Woodpecker is long and complex, but status species since 1944, when last widely accepted sighting in continental North America occurred, particularly controversial. Reports Woodpeckers have continued, none has reached threshold quality for general acceptance by ornithologists or birdwatching public. In 2021, U.S. Fish Wildlife Service opened public comment a proposal to declare extinct. Here, we present evidence suggesting presence at our...

The three-dimensional (3-D) discrete wavelet transform (DWT) suits compression applications well, allowing for better on 3-D data as compared with two-dimensional (2-D) methods. This paper describes two architectures the DWT, called 3DW-I and 3DW-II. first architecture (3DW-I) is based folding, whereas 3DW-II block-based. Potential these include high definition television (HDTV) medical compression, such magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). an implementation of DWT similar to folded 1-D 2-D...

Compression is a significant operation in many 3D data applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), medical diagnosis, television, and seismic data. Employing standard 2D compression techniques do not offer efficient solutions these applications. In this paper, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) approach proposed for performing compression. Two architectures are presented. The first architecture, called 3D-I, straight-forward implementation of the DWT. It allows even distribution...

This paper studies the edge-detecting characteristics of 2-D discrete wavelet transform. Our problem is to automatically detect edges. Since a common claim about transform that it splits images into an approximation and details, which contain edges, we use in our experiments. First, determine its efficacy, compared other edge-detection methods. Also, number combinatorial methods for octaves are examined comparison. Due this work, novel boundary-tracing algorithm developed, follow edges...

Bacterial 16S ribosomal gene was used to classify bacteria because it consists of both highly conservative region, as well a hypervariable in its sequence. This region serves discriminative factor differentiate at taxonomic levels. In the past, many efforts have been made correctly identify bacterial species from environmental samples or human gut microbiome samples, yet this identification and subsequent classification task is challenging. For such classification, several studies past...
