Handcrafted features with convolutional neural networks for detection of tumor cells in histology images
( IEEE Computer Society , 2016 , Conference Paper)Detection of tumor nuclei in cancer histology images requires sophisticated techniques due to the irregular shape, size and chromatin texture of the tumor nuclei. Some very recently proposed methods employ deep convolutional ... -
Handling Big Data in Modern Healthcare
( Oxford University Press , 2016 , Article)The constant growth of medical knowledge and the increases in specialization in clinical practice have created a significant need to share and access patient information with speed and efficiency. However, current ... -
Handling data uncertainties in event tree analysis
( Elsevier B.V. , 2009 , Article)Event tree analysis (ETA) is an established risk analysis technique to assess likelihood (in a probabilistic context) of an accident. The objective data available to estimate the likelihood is often missing (or sparse), ... -
Handoff-aware cross-layer assisted multi-path TCP for proactive congestion control in mobile heterogeneous wireless networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference Paper)Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP) is a new evolution of TCP that enables a single MPTCP connection to use multiple TCP subflows transparently to applications. Each subflow runs independently allowing the connection to be maintained ... -
Handover authentication for mobile networks: Security and efficiency aspects
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Article)A handover authentication module in mobile networks enables mobile nodes to securely and seamlessly roam over multiple access points.

A Hands-Free Interface for Controlling Virtual Electric-Powered Wheelchairs
( SAGE publications , 2016 , Article)This paper focuses on how to provide mobility to people with motor impairments with the integration of robotics and wearable computing systems. The burden of learning to control powered mobility devices should not fall ... -
HapticSnakes: multi-haptic feedback wearable robots for immersive virtual reality
( Springer London , 2019 , Article)Haptic feedback plays a large role in enhancing immersion and presence in VR. However, previous research and commercial products have limitations in terms of variety and locations of delivered feedbacks. To address these ... -
Haralick feature extraction from time-frequency images for epileptic seizure detection and classification of EEG data
( IEEE , 2014 , Conference Paper)This paper presents novel time-frequency (t-f) features based on t-f image descriptors for the automatic detection and classification of epileptic seizure activities in EEG data. Most previous methods were based only on ... -
Haralick feature extraction from timefrequency images for automatic detection and classification of audio anomalies for rd surveillance
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference Paper)In this paper, we propose a novel method for the detection of road accidents by analyzing audio streams for road surveillance application. In the last decade, due to the increase in a number of people and transportation ... -
The harder firms practice strategic management, the better they are
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2020 , Article)The integrated practice of strategic management, that is the use of the three components of the strategic management process (formulation, implementation, and evaluation) does matter. Firms should plan intensively and pay ... -
