Gender is one of the most useful facial attributes which are detected from human face images. In this work, we introduce a new gender classification system based on features extracted by Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) operators from intensity and Monogenic images. More detailed, the LPQ features are obtained from the input image (the intensity one) and from three other Monogenic components in the...
An ontology is a framework for describing domain-specific knowledge in a structured format. It is comprised of a set of terms as nodes and a set of relationships between terms as directed edges to form a directed acyclic graph. Gene Ontology (GO) and Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) are widely referred biological and biomedical ontology databases. They also provide extensive annotations of human genes...
As mobile computing is becoming more and more popular, the security threats to mobile applications are simultaneously increasing explosively. Most malicious activities hack the user's private information, such as contact and location information, hijack the user's transactions and communications, and exploit the confidential enterprise data stored in mobile databases or in cache on mobile devices...
Program analysis is the process of gathering deeper insights about a source code and analysing them to resolve software problems of arbitrary complexity. The key challenge in program analysis is to keep it fast, precise and straightforward. This research focuses on three key objectives to achieve an efficient program analysis: (i) expressive data representation, (ii) optimised data structure and (iii)...
This article is a comprehensive literature review of student-facing learning analytics reporting systems that track learning analytics data and report it directly to students. This literature review builds on four previously conducted literature reviews in similar domains. Out of the 945 articles retrieved from databases and journals, 93 articles were included in the analysis. Articles were coded...
Due to the fundamental trade-off between quality and timeliness of planning, designers of self-adaptive systems often have to compromise between an approach that is quick to find an adaptation plan and an approach that is slow but finds a quality adaptation plan. To deal with this trade-off, in our previous work, we proposed a hybrid planning approach that combines a deliberative and a reactive planning...
In this paper, a new approach for personal identity verification using finger knuckle images and least-square contour alignment method has been proposed. A special test rig with a digital camera was prepared for acquisition the knuckle images. Next, the obtained images of finger knuckle were subjected to image processing method in order to extract the knuckle furrows from them. The verification of...
Grey Level Co-Occurrence matrix is one of the oldest techniques used for texture analysis. The Grey Level Co-Occurrence matrix has two important parameters i.e. distance and direction. In this paper various combinations of distance and directional angles used for GLCM calculation are analyzed in order to recognize certain patterned images based on their textural features. Patterns considered in this...
The science laboratory class is a key class in some universities. They learn a wide range of knowledge rather than specialized ones. To deepen knowledge in limited time, we propose a new method for database course. Students learn the basic knowledge from textbook. For difficult point, they can return to videos on MOOC websites. If there are still problems, they may discuss with teacher and classmates...
Onomatopoeia is a generic name for onomatopoeia and mimetic words. Using onomatopoeia can express the behavior and state of things in more detail, widening the range of communication. However, learning onomatopoeia has been a difficult task for Japanese learners. There are several existing studies aiming at a support with onomatopoeia learning, while no platform is available to help learners find...
Cloud computing is undoubtedly considered one of the most discussed topics in recent times, both in the research and business sectors. Various schools of thought have attempted to provide a fitting definition from many aspects. This computing paradigm can be defined as a web-based computing model designed to allow both off-site storage and easy data and digital file sharing. The SQL injection, which...
Nowadays, users are more addicted to the Online Social Networks(OSNs), a network in which many users, group of people, or a particular organization are connected via network. It ensures communication between these users, or groups or an organizations. Through this communication, the users are able to build connections with other users and share their field of interest, can be able to communicate with...
Thai language is derived from Bali-Sanskrit which is a language based on sounds and tones. Foreigners need to converse using Thai. The phonology of this language causes mapping from one system of writing into another and data control to be complicated. The calibrating of sounds from one language into a workable writing system called transcription as opposed of transliteration, which maps the letters...
Deriving deadline and period for update transactions has long been recognized as an important problem in real-time database research. Despite years of active study, the state of the art only focuses on scheduling of update or control transaction separately. In this paper, we study the problem of deriving deadlines for update transactions in co-scheduling environment upon uniprocessor platforms. We...
The question of whether there is a logic that captures polynomial time is one of the main open problems in descriptive complexity theory and database theory. In 2010 Grohe showed that fixed point logic with counting captures polynomial time on all classes of graphs with excluded minors. We now consider classes of graphs with excluded induced subgraphs. For such graph classes, an effective graph decomposition,...
Functional transductions realized by two-way transducers (equivalently, by streaming transducers and by MSO transductions) are the natural and standard notion of “regular” mappings from words to words. It was shown recently (LICS'13) that it is decidable if such a transduction can be implemented by some one-way transducer, but the given algorithm has non-elementary complexity. We provide an algorithm...
This document presents a detailed description of the development and results obtained during the Proof of Concept about the Think! EHR platform, which is marketed by the Marand d.o.o (Marand) company.
Till date, the community evaluation in the field of scientific collaboration network, have been taken place on an individuals' impact. Very less findings have been done on the community detection and community evaluation considering the acquaintances of co-authors. This paper comprises of network in which the database of author's publications is used. The authors are the nodes and they are connected...
In this paper we present a new database with handwritten Arabic script. It is based on five books written by different writers from the years 1088–1451. We took 680 pages from these five books, and fully annotated them on the sub-word level. For each page we manually applied bounding boxes on the different sub-words and annotated the sequence of characters. It consists of 121,636 sub-word appearances...
This paper was primarily conducted to develop an Online Booking System where users can search for different varieties of hotels and are able to sort them according to their price, number of stars or their location distance to any particular place in the city. Once the hotel is selected, Users are able to guess the fastest routes to all the tourist attraction places and restaurants nearby each hotel...
