Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) Prediction using Fuzzy Inference System (FIS)
(
IEEE
, 2007 , Article)
In this paper a fuzzy inference system (FIS) is presented to predict the level of risk for a class of patients to be needing a repeated surgery for the herniated lumber disc (or more commonly known as slipped disc). The ...

Distributed turbo coding using log-likelihood thresholding for cooperative communications
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
In cooperative communications, error propagation at relays reduces the diversity order of the system. To combat that effect, we present a novel technique to control error propagation at the relays, which is presented in ...
Asymptotic formulae for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of q-Sturm-Liouville problems
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions of q-Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems. For this aim we study the asymptotic behavior of q-trigonometric functions as well as fundamental ...
