ABSTRACT

The DNA sequences similarity analysis approaches have been based on the representation and the frequency of sequences components; however, the position inside sequence is important information for the sequence data. Whereas, insufficient information in sequences representations is important reason that causes poor similarity results. Based on three classifications of the DNA bases according to their chemical properties, the frequencies and average positions of group mutations have been grouped into two twelve-components vectors, the Euclidean distances among introduced vectors applied to compare the coding sequences of the first exon of beta globin gene of 11 species.

ABSTRACT

 Sustainability, appropriate use of natural resources and providing a better quality of life for citizens has become a prerequisite to change the traditional concept of a smart city. A smart city needs to use latest generation Information Technologies, IT, and hardware to improve services and data, to offer to create a balanced environment between the ecosystem and inhabitants. This paper analyses the advantages of using a private cloud architecture to share hardware and software resources when it is required. Our case study is Guadalajara, which has seven municipalities and each one monitor’s air quality. Each municipality has a set of servers to process information independently and consists of information systems for the transmission and storage of data with other municipalities. We analysed the behaviour of the carbon footprint during the years 1999-2013 and we observed a pattern in each season. Thus our proposal requires municipalities to use a cloud-based solution that allows managing and consolidating infrastructure to minimize maintenance costs and electricity consumption to reduce carbon footprint generated by the city.

E- LEARNING IN NIGERIA : CURRENT IMPLEMENTATIONS AND CHALLENGES

ABSTRACT

E-learning is a concept which came to limelight about two decades ago in Nigeria. It has gone through several metamorphoses since then ranging from open skepticism to acceptance. It was accepted by most people because the percentage of Conventional Universities in Nigeria to the number of candidates seeking admission into these Universities were getting small every year and such Conventional Universities cannot cope with the pressure from the candidates. This is the main reason why many people embraced E- learning as option and a welcome supplement to normal university learning. This study is designed to evaluate the current implementation of Elearning in Nigeria and the current challenges militating against the full implementation of Elearning as an option in Nigeria.

ABSTRACT

Sign language continues to be the preferred tool of communication between the deaf and the hearing-impaired. It is a well-structured code by hand gesture, where every gesture has a specific meaning, In this paper has goal to develop a system for automatic translation of Arabic Sign Language. To Arabic Text (ATASAT) System this system is acts as a translator among deaf and dumb with normal people to enhance their communication, the proposed System consists of five main stages Video and Images capture, Video and images processing, Hand Signs Construction, Classification finally Text transformation and interpretation, this system depends on building a two datasets image features for Arabic sign language gestures alphabets from two resources: Arabic Sign Language dictionary and gestures from different signer's human, also using gesture recognition techniques, which allows the user to interact with the outside world. This system offers a novel technique of hand detection is proposed which detect and extract hand gestures of Arabic Sign from Image or video, in this paper we use a set of appropriate features in step hand sign construction and classification of based on different classification algorithms such as KNN, MLP, C4.5, VFI and SMO and compare these results to get better classifier.

A NOVEL ENF EXTRACTION APPROACH FOR REGION-OF-RECORDING IDENTIFICATION OF MEDIA RECORDINGS

ABSTRACT

The electric network frequency (ENF) of power lines leaves its trace in nearby media recordings. The ENF signals vary in a consistent way in a given power grid. Therefore, it is possible to develop signal processing and machine learning techniques to identify the grid of origin by extracting attributes of the embedded ENF signal in recorded audio. This paper presents a model based on a novel ENF extraction technique with training on audio and power recordings from different grids. The proposed approach is based on correcting erroneously selected peaks from the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) by leveraging time correlations. These peaks are mistakenly taken for the frequency component belonging to the embedded ENF signal of the power grid and are corrected by the algorithm. Results on a test set of 50 recordings from nine different locations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach with an overall accuracy of 88%

FIRST-ORDER MATHEMATICAL FUZZY LOGIC WITH HEDGES

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we consider first-order mathematical fuzzy logic expanded by many hedges. This is based on the fact that, in the real world, many hedges can be used simultaneously, and some hedge modifies truth (or meaning of sentences) more than another hedge. Moreover, each hedge may or may not have a dual one. We expand two axiomatizations for propositional mathematical fuzzy logic with many hedges to the first-order level and prove a number of completeness results for the resulting logics. We also consider logics with many hedges based on -core fuzzy logics.

ABSTRACT

Web service composition development is a complex and dynamic process. It is one of the challenges in distributed dynamic environments. Although, SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) facilitates service composition process through standard protocols in searching and binding with web services. Yet composition in SOA paradigm faces many challenges. One of the main challenges is the environment in which composition services are developed. Nowadays the environment becomes more dynamic due to the increase in the number of web services that are frequently changing. Therefore, the need for self-adapted composition methods that acts according to environment changes is advocated. In this paper, we will study the existed researches that address the web service composition in a dynamic environment to state the art in this area and assist future research.

Keyword :  Service composition, web services, dynamic environment.
