Abstract There is no population-level data regarding the impact of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) on mortality in individuals with ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS Mortality trends UC adults CCA aged ≥25 years were analyzed using CDC WONDER database, identifying through ICD-10 codes K51 “Ulcerative Colitis” and C22.1 “Cholangiocarcinoma”. Crude age-adjusted rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 people extracted. Annual percent changes (APCs) AAMRs, 95% confidence intervals, determined joint point regression...

The smartphone has been touted as the technology of 21st century. Global adoption rates are growing rapidly, up to over 24% in 2014, with usage increasing 25% last year. However, rural areas often places benefit from these technological trends. Utilizing cellular network registration logs, we explore and smartphones an extremely remote community Indonesia. We found that 16% phones area were (compared between 14--24% Indonesia). This shows Indonesia is similar rest country. also explored...

Climate change is raising widespread anxiety, especially in countries that are more vulnerable to environmental disasters. Energy use leads an increase Greenhouse gases, carbon emissions, which responsible for degradation. Identifying cultural and economic factors impact sustainability courses critical this context dealing with ecologically demanding challenges. Education knowledge spillover the form of foreign direct investment has long been seen as effective method disseminating knowledge,...

Tag collisions can impose a major inefficiency in RFID systems, resulting low identification rates, short reading range and ineffective resource utilization. They are more problematic passive tags due to limitations on power functionality. In this paper, we present novel approach overcome the tag collision problem. The novelty our scheme is that it requires no additional memory, results higher rate reduces medium consumption. proposed be augmented tree- based anti-collision proposals, both...

Over-the-air reprogramming is an important aspect in the deployment and management of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, WSNs poses significant challenges due to scarce available energy, low computational power, limited memory capabilities nodes; all are required for transmission processing created patches. In existing schemes, any change program layout and/or global variables, produces a significantly large patch size, hence consumes node's resources. Furthermore, apply patch,...

We propose novel approach, distance-based clustering, which interrogation zone an RFID reader is divided equal sized clusters (discs), and different separately. The contributions paper following. First, provide mathematical analysis derive...

Underwater sensor networks (USNs) promise innovative and exciting applications, viz. oceanographic data collection, environment monitoring, exploration, tactical surveillance. wireless (UWSNs) though pose significant research challenges due to the harsh underwater environment. In UWSNs, acoustic is thought be only viable means of communication. (UW-ASNs) present a channel with key challenges, specifically in shallow oceans such as long propagation delays, signal attenuation, man-made ambient...

Deployments of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) networks are anticipated to be dense and ad-hoc. These deployments usually involve redundant readers having overlapping interrogation zones and, hence, causing immense reader collisions. Elimination readers, from the network, is utmost importance as otherwise they affect lifetime operational capacity overall RFID network.

Lack of access to cellular service often goes hand-in-hand with lack power. For example, the GSM Association estimates that 95% people living without in East Africa also grid This situation forces network operators build out power infrastructure along their infrastructure, dramatically increasing costs. While numerous equipment providers offer "low-power" Base Stations (BTS) for use renewable energy sources, these have a floor roughly 70W, which still necessitates large upfront expenditure....
