Development of Web-enabled Smart Hospital Management System: Patient Data Visualization and Real-time Decision Making
Abstract: As everyone is aware, fewer people had access to healthcare services, which prevented many people from receiving the care they needed. The idea that, by WHO criteria, there should be one physician for every 1,000 patients is nearly unbelievable. Yet, India’s current ratio is a staggering 1:1445. This disparity highlights a serious gap in healthcare resources that cannot be ignored. Authors remember speaking with a friend who works in a …

Nonlinear Channel Equaliser using Discrete Gabor Transform
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe adaptive equaliser makes use of adaptive digital filters whose filter coefficients are modified depending on the channel characteristics at the front end of the receiver. The noise introduced in the channel gets nullified and hence the signal-to-noise ratio of the receiver improves. Discrete Gabor Transform (DGT) helps decorrelate input data because of which the convergence speed of the Mean Square Error (MSE) improves considerably. It is found that the …
