The development of real-time quality estimator schemes for emerging Internet videos with different content types remains a significant challenge and is crucial for the success of wireless multimedia systems. However, currently in-service assessment schemes fail in capturing subjective aspects of multimedia content related to the user perception. Therefore, this paper proposes an on-the-fly parametric video quality estimator approach (called MultiQoE) for real-time video streaming applications. Experiments in a Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) scenario were carried out to show the accuracy, benefit, and impact of MultiQoE compared to widely used Quality of Experience (QoE) subjective, objective and parametric methods.

Proper design of castings is essential to avoid casting defects that cannot be eliminated by design of tooling and process parameters. Shrinkage porosity is one of the defects which usually occur at casting junctions and cannot be easily eliminated. Currently, designers use rules that were established based on experience and intuition and are not supported by proper experimentation. In this paper an approach to design and optimize design of casting junctions using a database of mathematical models is presented. The mathematical models give relationships between porosity and the junctions' dimensional features. To illustrate this approach, a mathematical model for a V-junction has been developed using Design of Experiments (DoE) and regression analysis techniques. The experimental runs for the study are established using a D-optimality criterion and conducted using MAGMASoft, comprehensive software for casting simulation, for measuring porosity in casting junctions. The simulations carried out in MAGMASoft are validated by comparing its results with experimental results from previous studies. The mathematical model is then developed by applying regression analysis. The results of the model have been validated and found to agree with both the experimental and the validation simulation experiments.

Background: Many recent studies have investigated modularity in biological networks, and its role in functional and structural characterization of constituent biomolecules. A technique that has shown considerable promise in the domain of modularity detection is the Newman and Girvan (NG) algorithm, which relies on the number of shortest-paths across pairs of vertices in the network traversing a given edge, referred to as the betweenness of that edge. The edge with the highest betweenness is iteratively eliminated from the network, with the betweenness of the remaining edges recalculated in every iteration. This generates a complete dendrogram, from which modules are extracted by applying a quality metric called modularity denoted by Q. This exhaustive computation can be prohibitively expensive for large networks such as Protein-Protein Interaction Networks. In this paper, we present a novel optimization to the modularity detection algorithm, in terms of an efficient termination criterion based on a target edge betweenness value, using which the process of iterative edge removal may be terminated. Results: We validate the robustness of our approach by applying our algorithm on real-world protein-protein interaction networks of Yeast, *** and Drosophila, and demonstrate that our algorithm consistently has significant computational gains in terms of reduced runtime, when compared to the NG algorithm. Furthermore, our algorithm produces modules comparable to those from the NG algorithm, qualitatively and quantitatively. We illustrate this using comparison metrics such as module distribution, module membership cardinality, modularity Q, and Jaccard Similarity Coefficient. Conclusions: We have presented an optimized approach for efficient modularity detection in networks. The intuition driving our approach is the extraction of holistic measures of centrality from graphs, which are representative of inherent modular structure of the underlying network, and the applic
