Network motif analysis has several applications in many different fields such as biological study and social network modeling, yet motif detection tools are still limited by the intensive computation. Currently, there are two categories for network motif detection method: network-centric and motif-centric approach. While most network-centric algorithms excel in enumerating all potential motifs of a…

Digitalization changes the way people work to a considerable extent. It alters business models and process organizations of whole industries. The ensuing market dynamics and faster innovation cycles cause an increase in complexity. In this article, the interconnection of digitalization and complexity in work systems is analyzed. For this purpose, a framework for comparing relevant…

Industrial estate firms have important roles in national development through the industrial development. In the course of their life, industrial estate firms ought to follow the firm life cycle pattern. The common pattern shows that the period, in which the firm experiences profit increase, will be directly followed by consistent profit and profit decrease. Should…

This work presents new pipeline-parallel, generic and configurable parallel hardware architectures for the Direct/Inverse Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT/IDWPT) independent of any specific family of wavelets, implemented in FPGA technology using a parallel architecture of direct FIR filter. We propose in the following paper, new P-parallel structures for the DWPT and IDWPT transforms based on the…

In this work, we investigate the effects of variation of processing parameters on the quality of dispersion of polycarbonate compound. In order to achieve appropriate pigments dispersion, we performed compounding process parameters optimizations, by investigating three processing parameters, temperature, screw speed, and feed rate. We utilized experimental design for the optimization of process parameters based…

This paper introduces an electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis method to detect preferences for particular sounds. Our study aims to create novel brain–computer interfaces (BMIs) to control human mental (NBMICM), which are used to detect human mental conditions i.e., preferences, thinking, and consciousness, choose stimuli to control these mental conditions, and evaluate these choices. It is important…

There are more than 7billion people in the world where there are around 500 million people in the world who are denied from normal lifestyle due to physical and mental issue. It is completely fair to say that every person deserves to enjoy a normal lifestyle. While physically and mentally challenged people find suitable way…

This paper presents a novel parametric co-variance assignment strategy for multi-variable stochastic uncertain systems. Based upon the explicit parametric design and reduced-order closed-form co-variance model, the variances and co-variances of the system outputs can be assigned artificially using output feedback while the effect of the system uncertainties can be minimized by optimizing the free parameters.…

Finding similarity of textual data is very important task in natural language processing. In this article we present approach to finding similarity of words, paragraphs, sentences and documents. Semantic similarity is one of the central tasks in many applications, including text summarization, Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) etc. In ITS sentence similarity is used to compare…

Advanced sensing technologies are providing for greater capabilities to discern and classify details of objects as they appear in actual environments as experienced by nonprofessional drivers. Distinctive geometric configurations of new sensory devices including but not limited to infrared (abbreviated as IR) and LIDAR sensory units are appearing as cost effective data acquisition systems for…

Ship pilotage risk decision-making problems, which is an important issue affecting the safety of navigation. Before the study on the risk decision of ship pilotage, all use direct analysis of fault tree methods. In this paper, through the process analysis of ship pilotage fault tree, the model of fault tree is standardized and simplified. The…

In this research we address the problem of routing information across dynamic temporal sensor networks. The goal is to determine which information, generated by sensors on resources at various times, is able to be routed to other resources, consumer resources, within the given information time window, while being constrained by temporally dynamic bandwidth limitations across…

The aim of the present work is to guarantee the trajectory tracking of a nonlinear biological process and compare two control approaches. The main objective of this work is to elaborate a fuzzy model and build a fuzzy controllers for a biological process by using the fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno. Two controllers are synthesized, the parallel distributed…

A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is a digital model representing the earth ‘s surface topography in three dimensions (3D) while a Digital Surface Model (DSM) represents the whole terrain including the objects on it such as trees and buildings. DTMs can be created through stereo-plotting. The advantage of this method is that the 3D data…

The number of smart devices inside the living environments grows more and more every day, and with it the need to interface them in order to share data and activate functions. Each day, new scenarios and new applications emerge to make our lives easier in many different contexts. The AAL SOCIALIZE project aims to create…
