In the present article, we develop multilayer perceptron model for identification of some possible genes mediating different leukemia. The procedure involves grouping of gene based correlation coefficient and finally select of some possible genes. The procedure has been successfully applied three human leukemia gene expression data sets. The superiority of the procedure has been demonstrated…

Drug abuse problem is not a new problem, but it is still serious in Hong Kong. The emergence of hidden drug abuse youth has brought more difficulties to them and their parents. The usual ways of providing anti-drug abuse assistance are not sufficient to these types of young people. Intelligent methods have been developed to…

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is considered as a key cryptographic tool in building a secure cloud computing environment since it allows computing arbitrary functions directly on encrypted data. However, existing FHE implementations remain impractical due to very high time and resource costs. These costs are essentially due to the computationally intensive modular polynomial multiplication. In…

Engineering schools must adopt or develop their own systems and processes for graduate attribute assessment. In this paper, we take a systems engineering approach to graduate attribute assessment and propose a system architecture and tool-supported continuous improvement process with key algorithms and mathematical analysis to process the data and provide performance management reporting. Over several…

This article proposes a new MAC scheme for Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications that dynamically reallocates unused TDMA slots. By maintaining a balanced waiting time, the proposed TDMA based scheduling scheme allocates TDMA slots in a rational way to minimize merging and one-hop neighboring collision. The proposed scheme ensures dynamic reallocation of unused slots by using “time…

Due to the increasing bandwidth requirement of modern wireless communication systems, developing antenna having wider bandwidth have been receiving significant attention in the recent years. In this paper, a comparative analysis of the contacting feed (micro strip line and coaxial probe) and non-contacting feed mechanism (both Aperture Coupling and Proximity Coupling) in micro strip patch…

Reliable operation of a power transformer with a certain load depends on the technical condition of individual construction parts and the ability to prevent defects that can cause a failure. During the lifecycle of a transformer, valuable data is constantly accumulated, which forms the basis for technical or risk assessment of the equipment. Therefore it…

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is dedicated to establishing the best teaching and learning environment for students and staff across all higher education institutions. To heed this call, the engineering division adopted the Learning-by-Doing (LBD) pedagogical philosophy for 21st Century education at the heart of its strategic directions. This study intends to explore how LBD…

The background of the article lies in South Eastern Finland, in Lappeenranta, where an active University campus has attracted a group of ICT startups as well as SME’s in the field to collaboration. The novel education approach also has another remarkable role as a developer and source of innovation. An experimental development ecosystem (EDE), where…

Ensuring the compliance of developed software with general and application-specific security requirements is a challenging task due to the lack of automatic and formal means to lead this verification. In this paper, we present our approach that aims at integrating the formal specification and verification of security guidelines in early stages of the development lifecycle…

Hereby in this paper, we are going to refer image classification. The main issue in image classification is features extraction and image vector representation. We expose the Bag of Features method used to find image representation. Class prediction accuracy of varying classifiers algorithms is measured on Caltech 101 images. For feature extraction functions we evaluate…

This paper proposed the identification of the proper placement of UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) using a series of methodological numeric simulations to improve voltage stability. For this purpose, the critical zone of the system is determined, then, comparative analyses depending on different emplacements of UPFC are performed. The dynamic model of UPFC and the…

Two technology trends – a move toward software defined capabilities and toward networked devices – support both unprecedented innovations and requirements for security. A fundamental aspect of security is user authentication, which allows devices and software applications to establish their user’s identity and identity is in turn used to establish which of its capabilities the…

This paper deals with the problem of Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) using PID-type Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) for an Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) described by a switched discrete-time system with input disturbances and actuator faults. In order to detect the faults, Unknown Input Observers (UIOs) are designed and formulated in terms of Lyapunov theory and…

When we drive a car, we often want to know the circumstances of roads between the current location and the destination. Ishihara et al. proposed a Vehicular ad-hoc NETworks (VANET) -based information sharing system, called the Real-Time Visual Car Navigation System, in which a driver can obtain Location-Dependent Information (LDI), such as photographs or videos…

In this article we will present a method simplifying 3D point clouds. This method is based on the Shannon entropy. This technique of simplification is a hybrid technique where we use the notion of clustering and iterative computation. In this paper, our main objective is to apply our method on different clouds of 3D points.…

The automotive industry has focused to use polymer materials in order to increase energy efficiency. So, the industry pays attention to use 3D printing technologies using several polymers. Among several 3D printer technologies, fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the popular 3D printing technologies due to an inexpensive extrusion machine and multi-material printing. FDM…

The antenna proposed is a new geomantic structure of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Anti- Podal Vivaldi antenna (AVA). It remarkably offers an attractive performance over the bands of cellular networks. However, its benefits are not limited only in particular applications, whereas radar imaging, mining detection, the biomedical science in the heating of brain cancer tumor and treatment,…

Over the years, wind loading codes has been a crucial tool in determining design wind loads on buildings. Due to the limitations of these codes especially in height, wind tunnel testing is recommended as the best approach in predicting wind flow around buildings but carrying out wind tunnel testing in the preliminary as well as…

A new coupled structure identification of Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) Hammerstein models with separate nonlinearities is proposed. It is based on the use of the Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm. A comparative study between a decoupled and coupled structures identification of MIMO Hammerstein models is discussed. A quadruple-tank process is used to illustrate the effectiveness of…

In crowdsourcing, selecting the person with suitable expertise is very important; especially since the task requester is not always in direct contact with the worker. Recently, this has become increasingly important particularly when the crowdsourced tasks are complex and require skillful workers (e.g. software development, software testing, vulnerability discovery, and open innovation). In this paper,…

Remote control switching device for household application is a home device used to control the switching of household appliances from a distance. It serves to make the switching of household appliances easy for the elderly, physically challenged, the young and anyone who, in any circumstance, needs comfort and security. This paper develops a remote control…

Education is the raising of the thinking process and developing the mind in a broader perspective. However, education that is comprehensive and appropriate to the individual according to its potential, ability and skill is too hardest to describe. Thus, matching and referral institutions, including education model that suits the person’s behavior has been receiving attention.…

The great cards are getting a charge out of a critical part inside the on-line managing wherever we have tendency to can’t check the cardholder up close and personal. The phishing sites may parody the data in the middle of the customer website and along these lines the common webpage. To protect the data and…
