This paper analyses how far training programme through information and communication technology help in empowering women. The paper has two stages. First, it analyses the training project "Building skills of self help group women in establishing and maintaining information kiosks." through a case study. The second stage of the paper finds out the real status of the trained women after two...
Video segmentation has been and is likely to be an important component of the content-based video acquisition and retrieval systems. In this paper, we have proposed an video segmentation technique that uses Kohonanpsilas self organizing map (SOM) neural network for segmentation of color videos. It has been observed that, SOM training if performed on the wavelet-transformed video, not only reduces...
The scoring mechanism of the text features is the unique way for determining the key ideas in the text to be presented as text summary. The treating of all text features with same level of importance can be considered the main factor causing creating a summary with low quality. In this paper, we introduced a novel text summarization model based on swarm intelligence. The main purpose of the proposed...
Employee retention has been a buzzword for quiet sometime now. Companies across the globe are facing challenges vis-a-vis retaining their high potential or key employees. Many a practitioners have tried to device ways and means to counter the menace of attrition. With globalization, reaching its zenith coupled with opportunities emanating from otherwise considered the defensive sectors (like health...
Organizations attempting to embark on the knowledge management (KM) journey need information, inputs, examples and role models from existing adopters or practitioners to help them adopt it. Hence, it is strongly believed that the growing research and literature in the KM domain should be more focused on its practical perspective. This paper represents a practical oriented work that reports on how...
Romania, a New Member state of European Union, has undertaken a complex process to adapt to new conditions and requirements of European market, especially the growing competition of foreign products and services once the commercial barriers had fallen. Romanian SMEs are the one of the most affected area. In order to create a general perspective on small and medium enterprises in Romania, apprehension...
The purpose of this paper is to identify the core human capital in the organization and find out the effect of investment in core human capital to firm operating performance. First, we use an integrated structure based on the theory that proposed by Flamholtz (1999) and the architecture that constructed by Lepak and Snell (2002), to identify the core human capital in a textile company. Second, by...
In this paper, we used ICA based artificial neural network (ANN) and propose a robust technique for efficient 2D echocardiography image analyzing. This project can be divided in three parts. The first part is cardiac motion estimation from sequence of echocardiography. The second part is feature extraction from motion patterns using sources, these sources is derived from independent component analyzing...
Surface electromyography (sEMG) technology is used to record and display the electrical activities of human muscles, by which researchers are able to make a muscle force evaluation. In this study, in order to accurately feedback the information about athletes' forearm force training, the Maximum Voluntary Contraction (MVC) is proved as the indicator of maximum forearm muscle force by developing a...
