This paper proposes a method for estimating the spectral reflectance of Neugebauer primaries or eight basic colors when the spectral reflectance data of several colors are given. The proposed method is based on Neugebauer model, which expresses an arbitrary color as a weighted average of Neugebauer primaries, and its sparse version called sparse Neugebauer model.…

Platelet transfusions are vital for the prevention of fatal hemorrhage. Therefore, a stable inventory of platelets is required for an efficient and effective delivery of services in all the hospitals and medical centers. However, over the past decades, the requirement for platelets seems to be continuously increasing, while the number of potential donors is decreasing.…

Using smart parking systems has become very important, and particularly so for metropolitan areas, because of the benefits for drivers in many aspects, such as time, frustration, stress, and anger, in addition to the increased consumption of fuel while searching for a vacant parking space. This paper proposes a review of recent advances in sensing…

Cryptography is still developing today. Classical cryptography is still in great demand for research and development. Some of them are Vigenere Cipher and One Time Pad (OTP) Algorithm. Vigenere Cipher is known as the alphabet table used to encrypt messages. While OTP is often used because it is still difficult to solve. Currently there are…

This paper describes the concept and configuration of a novel automated safety vehicle stop system, and a future prospect of the study. Intrinsic sudden death may cause traffic accident since such accidents sometimes involve not only the driver but also other traffic users such as passengers and pedestrians. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is considered as a…

The sector of telecommunications is experiencing a large growth and rapid change in developing applications due to the variety of technologies, to increase the number of users and to arrival services varied from the high demand of the service quality such as streaming, web navigation. In this regard, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) organization…

The presence of microaneurysms(MAs) in retinal images is a pathognomonic sign of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). This is one of the leading causes of blindness in the working population worldwide. This paper introduces a novel algorithm that combines information from spatial views of the retina for the purpose of MA detection. Most published research in the…

Among the most popular methodologies for development of data mining projects are CRISP-DM and SEMMA, This research paper explains the reason why it was decided to compare them from a specific case study. Therefore, this document describes in detail each phase, task and activity proposed by each methodology, applying it in the construction of a…

This paper focuses on optimizing the decoding complexity of the progressive-edge-growth-based (PEG-based) method for the extended grouping of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags using a hybrid iterative/Gaussian elimination decoding algorithm. To further reduce the decoding time, the hybrid decoding is improved by including an early stopping criterion to avoid unnecessary iterations of iterative decoding for…

Small animal modeling is an exciting research field where human pathogenic frameworks can be replicated in a controlled environment. Accurate Imaging is in high demand when modeling abnormalities and, magnetic resonance imaging plays a vital role due to its demonstrated lowest intrusion when compared with other imaging methods. However, the required high-resolution yields low-quality images…

More precisely a methodology for the design and simulation of the behavior of Hybrid system PV-Diesel-Battery banks to electrify an isolated rural…

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 virtual environments, virtual hand interactions play a key role in interactivity and realism allowing to perform fine motions. Data glove is widely used in Virtual Reality (VR) and through simulating a human hands natural anatomy (Avatar’s hands) in its appearance and motion is possible to interact with the environment and virtual objects. Recently, hand…

An effective communication among the road users is crucial for safety precautions. Nowadays, a light emitting diode (LED) are commonly installed on a motor vehicle as the lighting system.
