Do community pharmacists in Nepal have a role in adverse drug reaction reporting systems?
(2013 , Article)
Community pharmacies in Nepal serve both rural and urban populations and are an integral part of the Nepalese healthcare system. These community pharmacies are run by non-pharmacist professionals with orientation training ...
Do health professionals have positive perception towards consumer reporting of adverse drug reactions?
(2013 , Article)
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the perceptions of general practitioners (GPs) and community pharmacists (CPs) in Penang, Malaysia, towards consumer reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). Methodology: A ...
Parameter estimation of biological phenomena: An unscented kalman filter approach
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
Recent advances in high-throughput technologies for biological data acquisition have spurred a broad interest in the construction of mathematical models for biological phenomena. The development of such mathematical models ...
Prior zero forcing for cognitive relaying
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
Relaying primary signals by cognitive base-stations (CBSs) can help the primary system and thus win CBSs a higher chance to transmit their own signals. For this purpose, conventional zero-forcing (CZF) beamforming is a ...
Performance analysis of selective cooperation in amplify-and-forward relay networks over identical Nakagami-m channels
(
Wiley Online Library
, 2013 , Article)
In cooperative communications, multiple relays between a source and a destination can increase the diversity gain. Because all the nodes must use orthogonal channels, multiple-relay cooperation becomes spectrally inefficient. ...
Priority-based zero-forcing in spectrum sharing cognitive systems
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
We consider a spectrum sharing scenario between cognitive radio (CR) users and a licensed primary user (PU), in which the PU is not able to successfully transmit data to its destined receiver. The cognitive base station ...
On hierarchical network coding versus opportunistic user selection for two-way relay channels with asymmetric data rates
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
We address in this paper the challenge of coping with asymmetric data rates in two-way relay channels. We consider a relay network comprising two sources and one relay. The sources communicate at different rates through ...
Enhancing face recognition using Directional Filter Banks
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2013 , Article)
Face recognition is an increasingly important problem in biometric applications; consequently many recognition algorithms have been proposed during the last three decades. It is accepted that the use of a pre-processing ...
An improved palmprint recognition system using iris features
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
This paper presents a bimodal biometric recognition system based on the extracted features of the human palmprint and iris using a new graph-based approach termed Fisher locality preserving projections (FLPP). This new ...
Structural and magnetic properties of Ni1-xZnxFe 2O4 (x=0, 0.5 and 1) nanopowders prepared by sol-gel method
(2013 , Article)
A series of nanostructured Ni-Zn ferrites Ni1-xZn xFe2O4 (x=0, 0.5 and 1) with a grain size from 24 to 65 nm have been prepared with a sol-gel method. The effect of composition and sintering temperature on morphology, ...
