Abstract The number of markers measured in both flow and mass cytometry keeps increasing steadily. Although this provides a wealth information, it becomes infeasible to analyze these datasets manually. When using 2D scatter plots, the possible plots increases exponentially with therefore, relevant information that is present data might be missed. In article, we introduce new visualization technique, called FlowSOM, which analyzes Flow or Self‐Organizing Map. Using two‐level clustering star...
Wireless body area networks (WBANs) form a new and interesting in the world of remote health monitoring. An important concern such is communication between sensors. This needs to be energy efficient highly reliable while keeping delays low. Mobility also has supported as nodes are positioned on different parts that move with regard each other. In this paper, we present cross-layer protocol for WBANs: CICADA or Cascading Information retrieval by Controlling Access Distributed slot Assignment....
The integration of different technologies such as ATM, SDH, and WDM in multilayer transport networks raises many questions regarding the coordination individual network layers. Especially area survivability, much can be gained by a better alignment healing actions taken layers case outages. Survivability issues encountered environment include, among others: how to identify original failure cause, appoint for each layer responsible its healing, let interwork, provide spare resources an efficient way.
In this paper routing, planning of working capacity, rerouting, and spare capacity in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks are investigated. Integer linear programming (ILP) simulated annealing (SA) used as solution techniques. A complex cost model is presented. The assignment optimized with respect to three restoration strategies. benefit conversion, the choice fiber line system, influence parameter values discussed, different strategies Wavelength conversion found be limited...
OpenFlow is a novel technology designed at Stanford University which aims decoupling the controller software from forwarding hardware of router or switch.

Reliability major issue this This work proposes addition fast restoration...
Nowadays, combining high-bandwidth connections (e.g., 5 Mb/s/user) and fast-moving users on a train at 300 km/h) while keeping sufficient level of QoS is still an unsolved bottleneck. In this article we propose cellular trackside solution for providing broadband multimedia services to passengers. A radio-over-fiber network in combination with moving cells forms the base realization
With the continuously increasing demand of cost effective, broadband wireless access, radio-over-fiber (RoF) starts to gain more and momentum. Various techniques already exist, using analog (ARoF) or digitized (DRoF) radio signals over fiber; each with their own advantages disadvantages. By transmitting a sigma delta modulated signal fiber (SDoF), similar immunity impairments as DRoF can be obtained while maintaining low complexity ARoF. This letter describes detailed experimental comparison...
The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is designed as a low power and data rate protocol offering high reliability. It defines beaconed unbeaconed version. In this work, we analyze the maximum throughput minimum delay of or unslotted version protocol. First, most important features are described. Then exact formula for direct transmission between one sender receiver given. This done different frequency ranges address structures used in 802.15.4. analysis limited to experiences lowest overhead. shown...
Third generation sequencing platforms produce longer reads with higher error rates than second technologies. While the improved read length can provide useful information for downstream analysis, underlying algorithms are challenged by high rate. Error correction methods in which accurate short used to correct noisy long appear be attractive generate high-quality reads. Methods that align do not optimally use contained data, and suffer from large runtimes. Recently, a new hybrid correcting...
In OpenFlow, a network as whole can be controlled from one or more external entities (controllers) using in-band out-of-band control networks. this article, we propose control, queuing, and failure recovery functionalities for OpenFlow. addition, report experimental studies practical challenges implementing these in existing software packages containing different versions of The results show that the functionality is suitable all types topologies. with queuing traffic served highest priority...
A wideband half-mode substrate-integrated-waveguide cavity-backed slot antenna covering all Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) radio bands (5.15-5.85 GHz) is designed, fabricated, and validated. By a implementation of multimoded cavity with nonresonant slot, compact ultrawideband obtained very stable radiation characteristics, owing to the excellent antenna/platform isolation. Cork material applied as substrate, making proposed suitable for integration into floors or...
Beyond-5G wireless systems require significant improvement to enable the Internet of Everything, offering ultra-reliability, ultra-low-latency and high data-rates for holographic telepresence, immersive augmented virtual reality, cyber-physical in Industry 4.0. The mmWave frequency band (30–300 GHz) provides required bandwidths, but very challenging propagation conditions exist. Conventional co-located multi-antenna counter higher path loss, are insufficient real-life scenarios with frequent...
The explosive growth of data traffic-for example, due to the popularity Internet-poses important emerging network requirements on today's telecommunication networks. This paper describes how core networks will evolve optical transport (OTNs), which are optimized for traffic, resulting in an IP-directly-over-OTN paradigm. Special attention is paid survivability such data-centric becomes increasingly crucial since more and traffic multiplexed onto a single fiber (e.g., 160/spl times/10 Gb/s),...
