Due to the exploding traffic demands and the diversity of novel applications requiring extensive computation and radio resources, research has been active to devise mechanisms for responding to these challenges. Mobile ...

In this paper, we investigate downlink transmissions in a wireless communication system enabled by a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) which are spatially dispatched to cooperatively deliver requested contents to ...

This study uses mixed-methods to map out the field of journalism and media studies in Lebanese universities and deploys a Q-technique to capture faculties’ opinions. The Q-analysis of 29 instructors revealed three groups ...

When asked by the Institute for Women's Studies in the Arab World to write a tribute to Julinda Abu Nasr on the occasion of her retirement in October, 1997, my mind went back to the short period of time I worked with her ...

In this paper, we address the correlation problem in the anonymization of transactional data streams. We propose a bucketization-based technique, entitled (k, l)-clustering to prevent such privacy breaches by ensuring that ...

In this paper we describe a heterogeneous knowledge base management system which is being designed and developed at North Dakota State University with support from IBM Rochester, MN. The system is called KB-HYDRO. It will ...

Kefir, a fermented milk product, exhibits anti‑tumoral activity in vivo; yet its mechanism of action remains elusive. Recent studies have focused on the mechanism of action of kefir on cancer cells in vitro. The current ...

For a given parameterized problem, π, a kernelization algorithm is a polynomial-time pre-processing procedure that transforms an arbitrary instance of π into an equivalent one whose size depends only on the input parameter(s). ...

The notion of a “problem kernel” plays a central role in the design of fixed-parameter algorithms. The FPT literature is rich in kernelization algorithms that exhibit fundamentally different approaches. We highlight ...
