Total and segmental liver volume variations حسب Abdalla, Eddie

"…On average, the right liver (segments V, VI, VII, and VIII) contributed approximately two thirds of TLV (997±279 cm3), and the left liver (segments II, III and IV) contributed approximately one third of TLV (493±127 cm3). Bisegment II+III (left lateral section) contributed about half the volume of the left liver (242±79 cm3), or 16% of TLV. …"

Machine Learning Models for Scheduling On-Demand Fog Placement and Optimizing Container Deployment حسب Farhat, Peter

"…Fog computing is an extended cloud computing technology allowing services embedded into virtual machines or containers to be placed at the edge with closer proximity to the end devices. Nevertheless, one of the main difficulties adding up to the complexity of the on-demand fog placement topic is deciding on the proper time and place of the fog deployment process, and deriving the adequate container and service distribution over the available fogs at a certain location. …"

Performance Analysis of FSO Communications With Diversity Methods حسب Abou-Rjeily, Chadi

"…By comparing the MIMO and cooperative methods with point receivers, we reach the central result that it is always better, from a diversity gain point of view, to add more apertures to the source and destination rather than adding more relays in their vicinity despite the fact that the fading variance along FSO links decreases with the distance. For receivers that implement aperture averaging, we derive conditions under which MIMO techniques are unconditionally better than cooperative techniques with any network topology.…"
