Probabilities topic models are active research area in text mining, machine learning, information retrieval, etc. Most of the current statistical topic modeling methods, such as Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA) and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). They are used to build models from unstructured text and produce a term-based representation to describe a topic by choosing…

The main target of this article is to study the provision of indoor service (coverage) using outdoor base station at higher frequencies i.e. 10 GHz, 30 GHz and 60 GHz. In an outdoor to indoor propagation, an angular wall loss model is used in the General Building Penetration (GBP) model for estimating the additional loss…

The Internet of Things (IOT) is a revolutionary communication technology which enables numerous heterogeneous objects to be inter-connected. In such a wireless system, interference management between the operating devices is an important challenge. Cognitive Radio (CR) seems to be a promising enabler transmission technology for the 5G-IOT system. The “sense-and-adapt” smart transmission strategy in CR…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have gained attention in recent years for their ability to perform complex machine learning tasks with high accuracy and resilient to noise of inputs. The time-consuming convolution operations of CNNs pose great challenges to both software as well as hardware designers. To achieve superior performance, a design involves careful concerns between…

Exploring communities and outliers in Social Network is based on considering of some nodes have overlapped neighbor node within the same group as well as some nodes have no any link to the other node or have no any overlapped value. The existing approaches are based on the overlapping community detection method were only defined…

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…

The IoT is innovative and important phenomenon prone to several services and applications such as the blockchain which an emerging phenomenon. We can describe the blockchain as blockchain as a service because of the opportunity to use several applications based on this technology. We, indeed, should take into account the legal issues related to the…

Cloud computing has become a compelling paradigm built on compute and storage virtualization technologies. The current virtualization solution in the Cloud widely relies on hypervisor-based technologies. Given the recent booming of the container ecosystem, the container-based virtualization starts receiving more attention for being a promising alternative. Although the container technologies are generally considered to be…

Mobile broadband has gained momentum with the growing demand of user data rates. Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is the step in mobile communications evolution, developed to satisfy high data rate demand, and meet better spectral efficiency requirements. Effective radio resource management and inter cell interferences are the major challenges. Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) is…

This paper is devoted to the analysis of aircraft dynamics in the cruise flight phase under windshear conditions. The study is conducted with reference to a point-mass aircraft model restricted to move in a vertical plane. We formulate the problem as a differential game against the wind disturbances: The first player, autopilot, manages, via additional…

In this modern age, information technology (IT) plays a role in a number of different fields. And therefore, the role of security is very important to control and assist the flow of activities over the network. Intrusion detection (ID) is a kind of security management system for computers and networks. There are many approaches and…

Cloud computing allows users and enterprises to process their data in high performance servers, thus reducing the need for advanced hardware at the client side. Although local processing is viable in many cases, collecting data from multiple clients and processing them in a server gives the best possible performance in terms of processing rate. In…

In this work, a representative combinational circuit is visualized in various ways. It is abstracted (concretized) from transistor level to gate level and a structure-preserving transition is carried out into a signal flow graph. For creating a signal flow plan it is necessary to swap the nodes and the edges in the signal flow graph.…

Detect and tracking of moving weak targets is a complicated dynamic state estimation problem whose difficulty is increased in case of high clutter conditions or low signal to noise ratio (SNR). In this case, the track-before-detect filter (TBDF) that uses unthresholded measurements considers as an effective method for detecting and tracking a single target under…

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…
