Scientific publication management services are changing drastically. On the one hand, researchers demand intelligent search services to discover scientific publications. On the other hand, publishers need to incorporate semantic information to better organize their digital assets and make publications more discoverable. For this purpose, we investigate how to manage scientific publications using Linked...
Today, search engines play a vital role in accessing the online content. However, the data in the webpages are not clearly perceived by search engines. As a result, it provides a lot of irrelevant data with little desired information. In addition, it takes a lot of time in searching the appropriate result. By studying the online educational needs of Indian school children, we aim to retrieve appropriate...
In this paper, a new fast classification strategy is proposed for fractal image compression with quadtree partitioning technique. The scheme significantly reduces the number of mean square error (MSE) computations during encoding of images. Performance in terms of compression ratios, compression time and PSNR of the fractal image compression with existing and proposed classification strategy are compared...
Counterfeit coin problem has been considered for a very long time and is a topic of great significance in Mathematics as well as in Computer Science. In this problem, out of« given coins, two or more false coins (the coins are classified as false because their weights are different when compared to a standard coin) are present which have the same appearance as the other coins. This problem belongs...
Web search engines help in retrieving the scattered information from the Web, albeit with a number of limitations. They can't understand or enrich the user's natural language questions easily or offer the recommendation that fits the user's exact needs. Health and food information are examples of critical domains where the users have a lot of questions that need to be understood well, enriched and...
UML Activity diagrams offer a very large set of constructs, however many of them seem scarcely used or even their existence is not known. Here, we present a precise view of the usage levels of these constructs by means of a survey, covering preliminarily books, courses, tutorials, and tools about UML. Results show that, among the 47 Activity diagrams constructs, a large majority of them seem to be...
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) gives new insights into software engineering and software development. This approach is quite new and it still is the subject of discussion concerning its efficiency and usefulness. However, MDE approach becomes more and more popular among researchers and developers. That is why it is being introduced into curricula by many universities. MDE proposes a new way of software...
UML modelling tools provide poor support for composite state machine code generation. Generated code is typically complex and large, especially for composite state machines. Existing approaches either do not handle this case at all or handle it by flattening the composite state machine into a simple one with a combinatorial explosion of states, and excessive generated code. This paper presents a new...
In the majority of cases, cervical cancer (CxCa) develops as a result of underestimated abnormalities in the Pap test. Nowadays, there are ancillary molecular biology techniques providing important information related to CxCa and the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) natural history, including HPV DNA test, HPV mRNA tests and immunocytochemistry tests. However, these techniques have their own performance,...
Application processes have to be efficiently performed on servers in a cluster with respect to not only performance but also electric energy consumption. In this paper, we consider a process migration (MG) approach to energy-efficiently performing application processes on servers in a cluster. First, a client issues an application process to a server in a cluster. A process performed on a current...
Recent intensive research in the fields of obesity and eating disorders has proved most traditional interventions inadequate: The obesity-targeting interventions have either failed or are strongly social context dependent, while the interventions for eating disorders have poor results and high levels of relapse. On the contrary, recent randomized control trials have illustrated that supervised training...
Currently, mobile communications are provided convenient methods to explore and communicate with each other people. A multitude of services have converged on the smartphone platform, and potentially the most notable is social networking. Thus, the electronic Mobile Chat (MC) plays a very important role in the social networking. With the increasingly growing reliance on Mobile Chat System (MCS) in...
This paper investigates various emotion recognition techniques from the facial expression of human subjects. To describe human facial expressions, a number of characteristic points are extracted from input face images using active shape models (ASMs), and translated 49 scalar features so that they are invariant to scale and position changes. The scalar feature values then construct a 49-dimensional...
In this paper, we presented a two-dimensional cellular automata model for predicting fire spread of slash-and-burn. In order to clear land for fields or increase the soil fertility of established fields, farmers intentionally set fires. We simulated some standard ways of fire ignition which are adopted and executed based on principles experimentally derived in Japan using cellular automata models...
Increasing of Java Scripts of malware requires automatic malware detection systems in these days. Our research takes note of the appearence probability and the state transition probability of first order Markov source for both of malware Java Script and other Java Script. The preexperiments found statistical significance. We propose the malware detection method using Mahalanobis-distance with the...
The Great East Japan Earthquake caused catastrophic damage to Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, and Fukushima Prefecture. A lot of relief supplies were sent to these stricken areas from all over the country in case of the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, since the relief supplies accumulation hub got confused by management and sorting work of relief supplies, "the relief supplies shortage...
In this paper, we present a method of acquiring / utilizing the study records using smartphone for improving the students learning motivation for learning. During the lecture, the students use the smartphone for learning. The results showed that the proposed study record system has a good effect for improving students' motivation for learning. For the professors of the university, it is difficult...
