Cooperative Q-learning techniques for distributed online power allocation in femtocell networks
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we address the problem of distributed interference management of femtocells that share the same frequency band with macrocells using distributed multi-agent Q-learning. We formulate and solve two problems ...
Verifying cloud service-level agreement by a third-party auditor
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, we study the important issue of verifying service-level agreement (SLA) with an untrusted cloud and present an SLA verification framework that utilizes a third-party auditor (TPA). A cloud provides users ...
On stability of equilibrium points in nonlinear fractional differential equations and fractional Hamiltonian systems
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.�
, 2014 , Article)
In this article, a brief stability analysis of equilibrium points in nonlinear fractional order dynamical systems is given. Then, based on the first integral concept, a definition of planar Hamiltonian systems with fractional ...

The large intestine is a home for trillions of microbiota, which confer many benefits on the host, including production of vitamins, absorption of nutrients, pathogen displacement, and development of the immune system. For ...
R-wave detection: A comparative analysis of four methods using newborn piglet ECG
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In the electrocardiograph (ECG), R-wave is the positive upward deflection in the QRS complex which represents the depolarization of both left and right ventricles. Accurate detection of the R-wave peaks in the ECG plays a ...
Game-based micro-learning approach for language vocabulary acquisition using LingoSnacks
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Acquisition of new vocabulary is an important element for language learning but it requires repeated and varied exposure to the new words and their usage. This paper reports the experience of designing and developing a ...
Protective effects of ethyl acetate fraction of Lawsonia inermis fruits extract against carbon tetrachloride-induced oxidative damage in rat liver
(
SAGE Publications
, 2013 , Article)
This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant properties of different fractions obtained from the fruits of Lawsonia inermis, a widely used medicinal plant, against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced oxidative stress ...
Effect of serum lipoproteins on stereoselective halofantrine metabolism by rat hepatocytes
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2012 , Article)
Experimental hyperlipidemia has shown to decrease cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2C11 expression and to increase liver concentrations and the plasma protein binding of halofantrine (HF) enantiomers. The present study examined the ...
Surfactant for Enhanced Rheological, Electrical, and Electrochemical Performance of Suspensions for Semisolid Redox Flow Batteries and Super capacitors
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
, 2015 , Article)
A suspension of Li4Ti5O12 and of Ketjen black in a solution of 1?m lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide in propylene carbonate is studied as the anolyte for semisolid redox flow batteries. The rheological behavior ...
