PHYSICAL INACTIVITY AS A PREDICTOR OF HYPERTENSION AMONG EMPLOYEES IN SRI LANKA: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
(
Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Background: There is compelling evidence that physical inactivity is responsible for a large proportion of non-communicable diseases. It is estimated that approximately 2 million deaths every year are attributable to ...
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 ...

Operation of three-phase modular multilevel converter (MMC) with reduced number of arms
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Conventional three-phase MMC consists of six-arms, each arm is controlled to generate unipolar voltage ranging from zero to Vdc where Vdc is the input DC voltage. Each arm voltage has two components (DC and AC components). ...
Investigating the reasons for choosing a major among the engineering students in Qatar
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The selection of an engineering major is a decision that can influence the career of young students, and possibly their entire fife. The purpose of this study is to understand the factors affecting the selection of an ...
Cognitive technology for children with hearing impairments
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Lack of specialists, speech instructors and sign language instructors in the Arab world have led to the impediment of the education and cognitive development for children with Hearing Impairments (HI). The objective of ...
