In ad hoc networks, each node utilizes its limited resources to carry out the collective operation of the network. It is not always in the best interests of the network's nodes to demand the continuous participation of all nodes in the network operations. We propose an energy dependent participation (EDP) scheme, where a node periodically re-evaluates its participation in the network based on the residual energy in its battery. More importantly, a node gives special consideration to supporting the communication needs of its active network applications and preventing further network partitioning. EDP's localized partition checking algorithm is particularly well suited for the zone routing protocol, where the link-state information is proactively maintained within each node's local zone and routes to faraway nodes are reactively obtained via global queries. Through simulations, we evaluate the impact of our proposed scheme on battery life and network connectivity. Our results suggest that the EDP scheme can increase the usable lifetime of a battery-constraint ad hoc network by over 50%.

Ultrasonic backscatter can provide information on the density of scatterers within biological media, and is therefore an important tool in tissue characterization. In this paper, a novel neural network approach to estimate scatterer density from generalized entropy is proposed. Neural estimation compares favorably with nonlinear least-squares models.

A content-based image retrieval(CBIR) system has been constructed to integrate relevance feedback with triangle-inequality based algorithms. The system offers typically 20 to 30 times faster retrieving speed with minimum sacrifice of retrieval performance on Corel database consisting of more than 17,000 images. The theoretic framework is built by using triangle-inequality based algorithms at sub-feature level and using relevance feedback techniques at feature level. Results show retrieval performance is clearly improved over the approach with only triangle-inequality based algorithms. A new high level weight updating method for the hierarchical distance model for relevance feedback is proposed.

Based on sine and cosine functions, the compactly supported orthogonal wavelet filter coefficients with arbitrary length are constructed for the first time. When N = 2(k-1) and N = 2k, the unified analytic constructions of orthogonal wavelet filters are put forward, respectively. The famous Daubechies filter and some other well-known wavelet filters are tested by the proposed novel method which is very useful for wavelet theory research and many application areas such as pattern recognition.
Wavelet analysis and its applications have become one of the fastest growing research areas in the recent years. This is in part attributed to the pioneering work by the researchers as well as practitioners in the fie...
