Discretization is the process of converting numerical values into categorical values. Contemporary literature study reveals that there are many techniques available for numerical data discretization. The performance of classification method is dependent on the exploitation of the data discretizing method. In this article, we investigate the effect of discretization methods on the performance of associative…

Network security implements various strategies for the identification and prevention of security breaches. Network intrusion detection is a critical component of network management for security, quality of service and other purposes. These systems allow early detection of network intrusion and malicious activities; so that the Network Security infrastructure can react to mitigate these threats. Various…

This paper discusses a step climbing strategy using a wheelchair and a teleoperated care robot that avoids collisions between the wheelchair’s front wheels and the step wall. In our method, the two vehicles are connected and use the velocity difference between them to climb steps. Since the wheelchair’s front wheels, or another part of the…

The use of information technology is very useful for today’s life and the next, where the human facilitated in doing a variety of activities in the life day to day. By the development of the existing allows people no longer do a job with difficulty. For that, it takes a system safety home using system…

In this paper, a novel approach for collision avoidance for indoor mobile robots based on human-robot interaction is realized. The main contribution of this work is a new technique for collision avoidance by engaging the human and the robot in generating new collision-free paths. In mobile robotics, collision avoidance is critical for the success of…

One of the most important roles of the wireless sensor networks (WSN) is to avoid wiring costs, be self-sustainable and be able to function for several years. However, due to the slow progress in battery technology, power continues to be a limited resource in wireless sensor communication and electric energy storage remains to be an…

A web service impersonation is a class of attacks in which an attacker poses as or assumes the identity of a legitimate service to maliciously utilize that service’s privileges. Providing security for interacting cloud services requires more than user authentication with passwords or digital certificates and confidentiality in data transmission. In this paper, we focus…

The increasing impact of services on economic wealth and income in high wage countries calls for a detailed examination of service productivity and complexity in current research projects. This paper describes the development of a measurement model of service productivity and complexity within the domain of medical service provision. While the measurement model of service…

This paper studied external-source-excited vibration response of double-bay multi-storey building frames for the effect of joint stiffening on bending moment and joint displacement. One of the frames has normal rigid joints. Three others of the frames have stiffened joints of stiffened lengths: 275mm, 425mm and 775mm respectively. Lumped mass system was the dynamic model adopted.…

Radar ambiguity function is widely employed to analyze a radar system’s time delay (range) resolution, Doppler frequency (range rate) resolution, mainlobe width and sidelobes in both range and Doppler. In this paper, ambiguity functions of frequency diverse array (FDA) which offers range-angle dependent transmit beampattern and Phased array which yields angle transmit beampattern is investigated.…

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has drawn significant research interest in recent years. In this paper, we investigate the information theoretic secrecy of a SWIPT system under Weibull fading channel. To be specific, we analyze the information security in the presence of an energy harvesting and information decoding eavesdropper. All links are subjected…

In this paper, we investigate the performance of channel inversion schemes for interference cancellation with compensation network in multi-user MIMO broadcasting channel. To achieve good performance, mutual coupling between two-element compact arrays is characterized by the receiving mutual impedance method (RMIM) to formulate the compensation network-operating matrix. A prototype of two-element compensation network with an…

Pure Aluminium and its alloy are widely utilized in Engineering and Industrial applications due to certain significant properties such as softness, ductility, corrosion resistance, and high electrical conductivity which it possesses. Addition of an agro-waste based grain refiner to the melt can alter the characteristics positively or negatively. Therefore, the aim of this paper is…

The processes of reflection of three-dimensional electromagnetic waves by locally irregular media interfaces are investigated. The problem under study is mathematically reduced to the solution of a boundary value problem for the Maxwell equations in an infinite space with an irregular boundary. In order to develop a numerical algorithm, the potential theory and a special…

Frequency diverse array (FDA) employs a small frequency increment across its array elements to provide range, angle and time dependent beampattern. In most radar systems, FDA with linear frequency offsets have been employed. But, its transmit beampattern is coupled in range and angle dimensions, which may degrade the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio performance. Note that nonlinear…

Hasty software development can produce immediate implementations with source code unnecessarily complex and hardly readable. These small kinds of software decay generate a technical debt that could be big enough to seriously affect future maintenance activities. This work presents an analysis technique for identifying architectural technical debt related to non-uniformity of naming patterns; the technique…

Lip movements have long been the subject of research. There are many methods of lip movement recognition, such as the calculation of the amount of movement compared to a matching face pattern. In a previous study, we investigated utterance recognition based on the power spectrum by focusing on lip movements, which is one aspect of…

We explore the dependency of MIMO performance on azimuthal spread (AS) and elevation spread (ES) using correlated-based stochastic models (CBSMs). We represent the transmitter as uniform rectangular array (URA), and derive an analytical function for spatial correlation, in terms of maximum power when phase gradient of the incident wave follows a Student’s t-distribution. We model…

This work discuss two different intelligent controllers: Online Neuro Fuzzy Controller (ONFC) and Proportional-Integral-Derivative Neural Network (PID-NN). They were applied to maintain the equilibrium and to control the position of a two-wheeled robot prototype. Experiments were carried out to investigate the equilibrium control and movement of the two-wheeled robot first on flat terrain, then in…
