Birefringence is a known property of anisotropic media where incidence of a single propagating wave on a biaxial boundary gives rise to what scientists refer to as an ordinary wave and extraordinary wave. This article explores the anisotropic electromagnetic theory that gives rise to the phenomenon of birefringence focusing on both ordinary and extraordinary plane…

A Third dimension supplement to the input can improve pattern recognition, and can be used for 3D scene reconstruction and robot navigation. Recently popularity of 3D hardware is also increased which makes it a hot topic. The production of…

There are various software related to the implementation of IT Service Management (ITSM) for a company, including those that are open source and commercial. An input is needed for companies in determining what software to choose from various software, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that have limited human and financial resources. In this…

To date, software development is vital since software is a critical element in information technology. Requirements gathering, planning, estimation, estimation, development, collaboration, testing, and deployment. The problem is when it is delivered, so it reduces the risk of the problem which could happen is important. Threat prediction should be made. It will be aimed at…

Building massively parallel applications has become increasingly important with coming Exascale related technologies. For building these applications, a combination of programming models is needed to increase the system’s parallelism. One of these combinations is the dual-programming model (MPI+X) which has many structures that increase parallelism in heterogeneous systems that include CPUs and GPUs. MPI +…

Recently, educational-support robots have been attracting increasing attention as studying-support gadgets. Previous studies used the sympathy expression method in which the robot expressed emotions in sympathy with the learners; however, the robots considered in those studies expressed only facial emotions. Presently, there is no study that uses body movements together with facial expressions in the…

Nowadays over speeding is one of the most common traffic violations. Generally, over speeding is the result of restless and bad behavior of drivers. As the accident rates are increasing it is important to develop and implement a system which can automatically detect and report over speeding to the traffic control authorities as early as…

Music genre classification is an important multimedia research domain, including aspects of music piece representation, distances between genres, and categorization of music databases. The objective of this study was to develop a model for automatic classification of musical genres from audio data by using features from low-level time and frequency domains. These features can highlight…

Mass media plays an important role in leading public opinion, including in the election of regional head candidates. The tendency of mass media coverage can be used as a parameter to measure the strength of each regional head candidate. To analyze the tendency of media opinion, sentiment analysis is needed. In this study, text mining…

Image stitching is a process of creating a panoramic image by combining multiple images that have overlapping regions of the same scene. It is a challenging topic in image processing, multimedia, and medical applications. The proposed system can be applied in medical applications for scoliosis operations and other long limb operations. The problem of the…

Cloud computing is an exceptional paradigm, which is facilitating the developments and utilization of resources over the internet. Fog computing operates at the edge of the network saving bandwidth, by not sending all information to the cloud, while edge computing does processing of data at the edge of the cloud. Edge computing reduces the distance…

Knowing how and types of talk shows discussed in social media is significant to all stakeholders in a talk show’s program. There are many messages that can be found in social media that need to be noticed so the messages from the user could reach the viewer. Social media provides promising as well as challenging…

In this paper, behavioral approach has been adopted for the calculation of total power losses that has been further used to derive an analytical model for the conduction and switching losses in a boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) stage of an On-board Charger (OBC). Detailed investigation of power losses can help in finding out ways…

Trusted systems are becoming more integrated into everyday life. Security and reliability are at the forefront of trusted system design and are often directed at hardware-only solutions, especially for safety critical systems. This is because hardware has a well-established process for achieving strong, precise, and reliable systems. These attributes have been achieved in the area…

Low contrast images degrade the performance of image processing system. To solve the issue, plenty of image enhancement methods have been proposed. But the methods work properly on the fixed environment or specific images. The methods dependent on fixed image conditions cannot perform image enhancement properly and perspective of smart device users, algorithms including iterative…
