Network coding is a new concept of combining theinformation at intermediate nodes, which can increase thethroughput of the network. In this paper we apply networkcoding techniques to Wireless LAN (WLAN). Network codingis applied at the access node of a 7-cluster WLAN and theprobability of network coding feasibility is arrived at. Furtherqueuing theory is applied to analytically obtain the WLANthroughput both in the presence as well as absence of physicalchannel induced transmission errors. From the analysis it isobserved that application of network coding to WLANincreases the throughput by 5 to 7% as compared to traditionalstore and forward routing
COVID -19, is a deadly, dangerous and contagious disease caused by the novel corona virus. It is very important to detect COVID-19 infection accurately as quickly as possible to avoid the spreading. Deep learning methods can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of reading Chest X-Rays (CXRs). The existing Deep learning models with further fine tune provide cost effective, rapid, and better classification results. This paper tries to deploy well studied AI tools with modification on X-ray images to classify COVID 19. This research performs five experiments to classify COVID-19 CXRs from Normal and Viral Pneumonia CXRs using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Four experiments were performed on state-of-the-art pre-trained models using transfer learning and one experiment was performed using a CNN designed from scratch. Dataset used for the experiments consists of chest X-Ray images from the Kaggle dataset and other publicly accessible sources. The data was split into three parts while 90% retained for training the models, 5% each was used in validation and testing of the constructed models. The four transfer learning models used were Inception, Xception, ResNet, and VGG19, that resulted in the test accuracies of 93.07%, 94.8%, 67.5%, and 91.1% respectively and our CNN model resulted in 94.6%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
