In many applications like FIR filters, FFT, signal processing and
measurements, we are required (~45 dB) or less side lobes amplitudes. However,
the problem is usual window based FIR filter design lies in its side lobes
amplitudes that are higher than the requirement of application. We propose a
window function, which has better performance like narrower main lobe width,
minimum side lobe peak compared to the several commonly used windows. The
proposed window has slightly larger main lobe width of the commonly used
Hamming window, while featuring 6.2\ sim 22.62 dB smaller side lobe peak.
Although noise-based logic shows potential advantages of reduced power
dissipation and the ability of large parallel operations with low hardware and
time complexity the question still persist: is randomness really needed out of
orthogonality? In this Letter, after some general thermodynamical
considerations, we show relevant examples where we compare the computational
complexity of logic systems based on orthogonal noise and sinusoidal signals,
respectively.
A novel design for a low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator is presented and
dedicated to power many sections of a typical cellular handset. However, these
baseband, RF, and audio sections have different requirements that influence
which LDO is most appropriate. After discussion of the specific requirements,
different LDOs are recommended. Also, some LDO design techniques are briefly
discussed to demonstrate how an LDO may be optimized for a specific level of
performance.
A health information system (HIS) is the intersection of between healthcare's
business process, and information systems to deliver better healthcare
services. The nature of healthcare industry, which is highly influenced by
economic, social, politic, and technological factors, has changed over time.
This paper will address some important concepts of healthcare and related
terminologies to provide a holistic view for HIS. Related technological
milestones and major events are briefly summarized. The trends and rapid
development of health information technologies are also discussed.

Dynamic Voltage Scaling (A primary idea)
In this paper, we propose a study of performance of the channel estimation
using LS, MMSE, LMMSE and Lr-LMMSE algorithms in OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing) system which, as known suffers from the time variation
of the channel under high mobility conditions, using block pilot insertion.
This paper proposes a method to vibration analysis in order to on-line
monitoring of milling process quality. Adapting envelope analysis to
characterize the milling tool materials is an important contribution to the

designed and developed for the acquisition, processing and analyzing
three-dimensional signal.

In this paper IEEE Learning Technology System Architecture (LTSA) for LMS
software has been analyzed. It has been observed that LTSA is too abstract to
be adapted in a uniform way by LMS developers. A Learners' Quanta based high
level design that satisfies the IEEE LTSA standard has been proposed for future
development of efficient LMS software. A hybrid model of learning fitting into
LTSA model has also been proposed while designing.
In an e-Learning system a learner may come across multiple unknown terms,
which are generally hyperlinked, while reading a text definition or theory on
any topic. It becomes even harder when one tries to understand those unknown
terms through further such links and they again find some new terms that have
new links. As a consequence they get confused where to initiate from and what
are the prerequisites. So it is very obvious for the learner to make a choice
of what should be learnt before what.
Emergence of sophisticated technologies in IT industries has posed several
challenges such as production of products using advanced technical process for
instance Result Orientation Approach, Deployment, Assessment and Refinement
(RADAR) in a dynamic and competitive environment. The key challenge for any
engineer is therefore to develop process and products which ultimately lead
towards total customer satisfaction. Recent development in technology has
driven most of the IT industries to operate in the cloud environment due to
reduced infrastructure investment and maintenance overheads.
In this paper, we have proposed a new design technique of BCD Adder using
newly constructed reversible gates are based on NMOS with pass transistor
gates, where the conventional reversible gates are based on CMOS with
transmission gates. We also compare the proposed reversible gates with the
conventional CMOS reversible gates which show that the required number of
Transistors is significantly reduced.
The last few decades, a great deal of attention has been paid to low-voltage
(LV) low-power (LP) integrated circuits design since the power consumption has
become a critical issue. Among many techniques used for the design of LV LP
analog circuits, the Bulk-driven principle offers a promising route towards
this design for many aspects mainly the simplicity and using the conventional
MOS technology to implement these designs.
In present work a new XNOR gate using three transistors has been presented,
which shows power dissipation of 550.7272$\mu$W in 0.35$\mu$m technology with
supply voltage of 3.3V. Minimum level for high output of 2.05V and maximum
level for low output of 0.084V have been obtained. A single bit full adder
using eight transistors has been designed using proposed XNOR cell, which shows
power dissipation of 581.542$\mu$W. Minimum level for high output of 1.97V and
maximum level for low output of 0.24V is obtained for sum output signal.
Many networked systems involve multiple modes of transport. Such systems are
called multimodal, and examples include logistic networks, biomedical
phenomena, manufacturing process and telecommunication networks. Existing
techniques for determining optimal paths in multimodal networks have either
required heuristics or else application-specific constraints to obtain
tractable problems, removing the multimodal traits of the network during
analysis.
Today, organizations are investing a lot in their IT infrastructure and
reengineering their business processes by digitizing firms. If organizational
employees will not optimum utilize its IT infrastructure, the productivity gain
reduced enormously. In Uttarakhand e-procurement system implemented by public
sector under e-governance integrated mission mode projects. So, there is need
to find the determinants which influence employee's adoption and uses of
e-procurement systems.
Business collaboration networks provide collaborative organizations a
favorable context for automated business process interoperability. This paper
aims to present a novel approach for assessing interoperability of process
driven services by considering the three main aspects of interoperation:
potentiality, compatibility and operational performance. It presents also a
software tool that supports the proposed assessment method.
In this paper we explore the use of electrical biosignals measured on scalp
and corresponding to mental relaxation and concentration tasks in order to
control an object in a video game. To evaluate the requirements of such a
system in terms of sensors and signal processing we compare two designs. The
first one uses only one scalp electroencephalographic (EEG) electrode and the
power in the alpha frequency band. The second one uses sixteen scalp EEG
electrodes and machine learning methods.
This paper introduces analogical and deductive methodologies for the design
medical processor units (MPUs). From the study of evolution of numerous earlier
processors, we derive the basis for the architecture of MPUs. These specialized
processors perform unique medical functions encoded as medical operational
codes (mopcs). From a pragmatic perspective, MPUs function very close to CPUs.
Both processors have unique operation codes that command the hardware to
perform a distinct chain of subprocesses upon operands and generate a specific
result unique to the opcode and the operand(s).
The realization of Daily Artificial Dispatcher as a quantum/relativistic
computation consists of perturbative renormalization of the Electrical Power
System (EPS), generating the flowcharts of computation, verification,
validation, description and help. Perturbative renormalization of EPS energy
and time has been carried out in this paper for a day ahead via virtual
thermalization of the EPS for a day ahead.
Continuing to estimate the Direction-of-arrival (DOA) of the signals
impinging on the antenna array, even when a few elements of the underlying
Uniform Linear Antenna Array (ULA) fail to work will be of practical interest
in RADAR, SONAR and Wireless Radio Communication Systems. This paper proposes a
new technique to estimate the DOAs when a few elements are malfunctioning. The
technique combines Singular Value Thresholding (SVT) based Matrix Completion
(MC) procedure with the Direct Data Domain (D^3) based Matrix Pencil (MP)
Method.
To model printing noise a binary noisy channel and a set of controlled gates
are introduced. The channel input is an image created by a halftoning algorithm
and its output is the printed picture. Using this channel robustness to noise
between halftoning algorithms can be studied. We introduced relative entropy to
describe immunity of the algorithm to noise and tested several halftoning
algorithms.
In this paper we study the simultaneous problems of food waste and hunger in
the context of the possible solution of food (waste) rescue and redistribution.
To this end, we develop an empirical model that can be used in Monte Carlo
simulations to study the dynamics of the underlying problem. Our model's
parameters are derived from a unique data set provided by a large food bank and
food rescue organization in north central Colorado. We find that food supply is
a non-parametric heavy-tailed process that is well-modeled with an extreme
value peaks-over-threshold model.
Information and knowledge in exchange in public networks is a crucial
challenge that needs to be overcome in order to consolidate the benefits
associated with such structures. We study the impact of the nature of the
information exchanged over the possibilities of success of this process, basing
ourselves on the analysis of the information produced by the members of the
Network of National Educational Portals.
Ecosystems monitoring is essential to properly understand their development
and the effects of events, both climatological and anthropological in nature.
The amount of data used in these assessments is increasing at very high rates.
This is due to increasing availability of sensing systems and the development
of new techniques to analyze sensor data. The Enviro-Net Project encompasses
several of such sensor system deployments across five countries in the
Americas.
Knowledge of a machine tool axis to axis location errors allows compensation
and correcting actions to be taken to enhance its volumetric accuracy. Several
procedures exist, involving either lengthy individual test for each geometric
error or faster single tests to identify all errors at once. This study focuses
on the closed kinematic Cartesian chain method which uses a single setup test
to identify the eight link errors of a five axis machine tool.
Reducing costs of manufactured products is one of the key issues of
companies. Bar turning companies (mechanical subcontracting companies) are
faced with the following dilemma: use a pull strategy or use a push strategy.
Instinctively these companies produce more than demand required by customers.
This strategy allows them to respond to requests forecasts and reduce their
cost of changeover time. These companies make a bet on sales opportunities and
think to realize an additional profit. We have tried to find in this study to
provide elements to know the limits of this strategy.
Over the past few years, significant growth has been observed in using MEMS
based passive components in the RF microelectronics domain, especially in
transceiver components. This is due to some excellent properties of the MEMS
devices like low loss, excellent isolation etc. in the microwave frequency
domain where the on-chip passives normally tend to become leakier and degrades
the transceiver performance.
This study addresses the matter of reflexive control of the emotional states
by means of Reflexive Game Theory (RGT). It is shown how to build a bridge
between RGT and emotions. For this purpose the Pleasure-Arousal-Dominance (PAD)
model is adopted. The major advantages of RGT are its ability to predict human
behavior and unfold the entire spectra of reflexion in the human mind. On the
other hand, PAD provides ultimate approach to model emotions.
Noise-based logic, by utilizing its multidimensional logic hyperspace, has
significant potential for low-power parallel operations in beyond-Moore-chips.
However universal gates for Boolean logic thus far had to rely on either time
averaging to distinguish signals from each other or, alternatively, on squeezed
logic signals, where the logic-high was represented by a random process and the
logic-low was a zero signal. A major setback is that squeezed logic variables
are unable to work in the hyperspace, because the logic-low zero value sets the
hyperspace product vector to zero.

Risk estimation of developing breast cancer poses as the first prevention
method for early diagnosis. Furthermore, data integration from different
departments involved in the process plays a key role. In order to guarantee
patient safety, the whole process should be orchestrated and monitored
automatically. Support for the solution will be a linked data cloud, composed
by all the departments that take part in the process, combined with rule
engines.
Environment Agencies from Europe and the US are setting up a network of
Linked Environment Data and are looking to crosslink it with Linked Data
contributions from the life sciences.
This paper is an attempt to incorporate the idea of spiking neural P systems
as an early seed into the area of Operating System Design, regarding their
capability to solve some classical computer science problems. It is reflecting
the power of such systems to simulate well known parallel computational models,
like logic gates, arithmetic operation, and sorting. In these devices, the time
(when the neurons fire and/or spike) plays an essential role. For instance, the
result of a computation is the time between the moments when a specified neuron
spikes.
When looking through the proceedings of the recent Simulation
Interoperability Workshops, a lot of papers - some of them even awarded by the
committee - are dealing with alternative concepts outside or beyond the High
Level Architecture (HLA): Web Services, the extensible Markup Language (XML),
Java Beans, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), etc. Similarly, requirements
driven by interoperability issues have resulted in the need to use meta
modeling, adaptive models, and common repositories.
In order to group the functional requirements for support to operations by
modern information systems systematically, the NATO Code of best Practise
(COBP) for C2 Assessment defines three domain areas: Battlespace Visualization,
Decision Making, and Battle Management Functions. In addition, within an domain
overlapping information grid of the information system, necessary functions for
assessing and disseminating the information are capsulated.
Today's peer review process for scientific articles is unnecessarily opaque
and offers few incentives to referees. Likewise, the publishing process is
unnecessarily inefficient and its results are only rarely made freely available
to the public. Here we outline a comparatively simple extension of arXiv.org,
an online preprint archive widely used in the mathematical and physical
sciences, that addresses both of these problems.
This chapter asks if a virtual space-time could appear to those within it as
our space-time does to us. A processing grid network is proposed to underlie
not just matter and energy, but also space and time. The suggested "screen" for
our familiar three dimensional world is a hyper-sphere surface simulated by a
grid network. Light and matter then travel, or are transmitted, in the
"directions" of the grid architecture. The processing sequences of grid nodes
create time, as the static states of movies run together emulate events.
With scaling of Vt sub-threshold leakage power is increasing and expected to
become significant part of total power consumption In present work three new
configurations of level shifters for low power application in 0.35{\mu}m
technology have been presented. The proposed circuits utilize the merits of
stacking technique with smaller leakage current and reduction in leakage power.
Conventional level shifter has been improved by addition of three NMOS
transistors, which shows total power consumption of 402.2264pW as compared to
0.49833nW with existing circuit.
Reversible circuits find applications in many areas of Computer Science
including Quantum Computation. This paper examines the testability of an
important subclass of reversible logic circuits that are composed of k-wire

implemented using an irreversible k-input AND gate and an EXOR gate. A
reversible k-CNOT circuit where each k-CNOT gate is realized using irreversible
k-input AND and EXOR gate, has been considered.

automating house's electricity and providing a security system to detect the
presence of unexpected behavior.
A key challenge in modern computing is to develop systems that address
complex, dynamic problems in a scalable and efficient way, because the
increasing complexity of software makes designing and maintaining efficient and
flexible systems increasingly difficult. Biological systems are thought to
possess robust, scalable processing paradigms that can automatically manage
complex, dynamic problem spaces, possessing several properties that may be
useful in computer systems.
This paper describes an integrated framework for SOC test automation. This
framework is based on a new approach for Wrapper/TAM co-optimization based on
rectangle packing considering the diagonal length of the rectangles to
emphasize on both TAM widths required by a core and its corresponding testing
time .In this paper, an efficient algorithm has been proposed to construct
wrappers that reduce testing time for cores. Rectangle packing has been used to
develop an integrated scheduling algorithm that incorporates power constraints
in the test schedule.

(PDM) with respect to the industrial contributional point of view and its major
objectives. Moreover we also present some currently available major challenges
to the Product Data Management based communities, and targeting those
challenges we discuss an already proposed conceptual architectural based
helpful approach and briefly describe how this approach can be helpful in
solving the PDM communities faced problems.

problems with World Wide Web .i.e., Information filtration and Security became
the main reasons of semantic web's invention. The semantic web claims of
providing the semantic based solutions towards current web problems. Semantic
web have introduced and relies on a main building block "Ontology" to provide

Approaches .i.e., Behavior, Objectivism, Cognitive and Construction. Moreover
we briefly describe E-Learning, information engineering, knowledge management
and some old and newly available technologies supporting development of
E-Learning Systems in this research paper.
Product Data Management (PDM) claims of producing desktop and web based
systems to maintain the organizational data to increase the quality of products
by improving the process of development, business process flows, change
management, product structure management, project tracking and resource
planning. Moreover PDM helps in reducing the cost and effort required in
engineering.
A continuum model has been proposed to fit the data pertaining to the
directed networks in free and open-source software. While the degree
distributions of links in both the in-directed and out-directed dependency
networks follow Zipf's law for the intermediate nodes, the most richly linked
nodes, as well as the most poorly linked nodes, deviate from this trend and
exhibit finite-size effects. The finite-size parameters make a quantitative
distinction between the in-directed and out-directed networks.
We study the problem of scheduling periodic real-time tasks so as to meet
their individual minimum reward requirements. A task generates jobs that can be
given arbitrary service times before their deadlines. A task then obtains
rewards based on the service times received by its jobs. We show that this
model is compatible to the imprecise computation models and the increasing
reward with increasing service models.
Enterprise resource Planning (ERP) has become a key business driver in
today's world. Retailers are also trying to reap in the benefits of the ERP. In
most large Indian Retail Industry ERP systems have replaced nonintegrated
information systems with integrated and maintainable software. Retail ERP
solution integrates demand and supply effectively to help improve bottom line.
The implementation of ERP systems in such firms is a difficult task. So far,
ERP implementations have yielded more failures than successes.
Motivated by MIMO broad-band fading channel model, in this section a
comparative study is presented regarding various uncoded adaptive and
non-adaptive MIMO detection algorithms with respect to BER/PER performance, and
hardware complexity. All the simulations are conducted within MIMO-OFDM
framework and with a packet structure similar to that of IEEE 802.11a/g
standard. As the comparison results show, the RLS algorithm appears to be an
affordable solution for wideband MIMO system targeting at Giga-bit wireless
transmission.

new and inexpensive health care solutions. This paper describes the
implementation and the evaluation of a wireless body sensor system that
monitors human physiological data at home. Specifically, a waist-mounted
triaxial accelerometer unit is used to record human movements.
A method is proposed to optimally design the Microstrip Nonuniform
Transmission Line (MNTLs) as lowpass filters. Some electrical and physical
restrictions are used to design MNTLs. To optimally design the MNTLs, their
strip width is expanded as truncated Fourier series, firstly. Then, the optimum
values of the coefficients of the series are obtained through an optimization
approach. The performance of the proposed structure is studied by design and
fabrication of two lowpass filters of cutoff frequency 2.0 GHz.
Millimeter wave technology being an emerging area is still very undeveloped.
A substantial research needs to be done in this area as its applications are
numerous. In the present endeavor, a rectangular patch antenna is designed on
thick substrate and simulated using SONNET software, also a novel analysis
technique is developed for circular patch antenna for millimeter wave
frequency. The antenna is designed at 39 GHz on thick substrate and has been
analyzed and simulated.The results of the theoretical analysis are in good
agreement with the simulated results.
Using concave rectangular patches, a new solution to reduce mutual coupling
and return loss in two-dimensional array of microstrip antennas is proposed.
The effect of width and length concavity on mutual coupling and return loss is
studied. Also, the patch parameters as well as the amounts of width and length
concavity are optimized using an enhanced genetic algorithm. Simulation results
show that the resulting array antenna has low amounts of mutual coupling and
return loss.
Increasing GPS precision at low cost has always been a challenge for the
manufacturers of the GPS receivers. This paper proposes the use of a Wiener
filter for increasing precision in substitution of traditional GPS/INS fusion
systems, which require expensive inertial systems. In this paper, we first
implement and compare three GPS signal processing schemes: a Kalman filter, a
neural network and a Wiener filter and compare them in terms of precision and
the processing time. To further reduce the processing time of Wiener filter, we
propose parallel and reduced-length implementations.
Because all microstrip antennas have to be matched to the standard generator
impedance or load, the input impedance matching method for antenna is
particularly important. In this paper a new methodology in achieving matching
impedance of a planar microstrip antenna for wireless application is described.
The method is based on embedding an Interdigital capacitor. The fine results
obtained by using a microstrip Interdigital capacitor for matching antenna
impedance led to an efficient method to improve array antenna performance.
Central Force Optimization is a global search and optimization algorithm that
searches a decision space be flying "probes" whose trajectories are
deterministically computed using two equations of motion. Because it is
possible for a probe to fly outside the domain of feasible solutions, a simple
errant probe retrieval method has been used previously that does not include
the directional information contained in a probe's acceleration vector. This
note investigates the effect of adding directionality to the "repositioning
factor" approach.
Authoring documents in MKM formats like OMDoc is a very tedious task. After
years of working on a semantically annotated corpus of sTeX documents (GenCS),
we identified a set of common, time-consuming subtasks, which can be supported
in an integrated authoring environment. We have adapted the modular Eclipse IDE
into sTeXIDE, an authoring solution for enhancing productivity in contributing
to sTeX based corpora. sTeXIDE supports context-aware command completion,
module management, semantic macro retrieval, and theory graph navigation.

goods (CPG), healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and retail.
The QR Decomposition (QRD) of communication channel matrices is a fundamental
prerequisite to several detection schemes in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output
(MIMO) communication systems. Herein, the main feature of the QRD is to
transform the non-causal system into a causal system, where consequently
efficient detection algorithms based on the Successive Interference
Cancellation (SIC) or Sphere Decoder (SD) become possible. Also, QRD can be
used as a light but efficient antenna selection scheme.
Web Based Query Management System (WBQMS) is a methodology to design and to
implement Mobile Business, in which a server is the gateway to connect
databases with clients which sends requests and receives responses in a
distributive manner. The gateway, which communicates with mobile phone via GSM
Modem, receives the coded queries from users and sends packed results back. The
software which communicates with the gateway system via SHORT MESSAGE, packs
users' requests, IDs and codes, and sends the package to the gateway; then
interprets the packed data for the users to read on a page of GUI.
The minimum spanning tree clustering algorithm is capable of detecting
clusters with irregular boundaries. In this paper we propose two minimum
spanning trees based clustering algorithm. The first algorithm produces k
clusters with center and guaranteed intra-cluster similarity. The radius and
diameter of k clusters are computed to find the tightness of k clusters. The
variance of the k clusters are also computed to find the compactness of the
clusters. The second algorithm is proposed to create a dendrogram using the k
clusters as objects with guaranteed inter-cluster similarity.
This paper describes the use of fuzzy logic controller for efficiency
optimization control of a drive while keeping good dynamic response. At
steady-state light-load condition, the fuzzy controller adaptively adjusts the
excitation current with respect to the torque current to give the minimum total
copper and iron loss. The measured input power such that, for a given load
torque and speed, the drive settles down to the minimum input power, i.e.,
operates at maximum efficiency. The low-frequency pulsating torque due to
decrementation of flux is compensated in a feed forward manner.
General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) has recently
gained considerable attention in various domains such as bioinformatics,
databases and distributed computing. GPGPU is based on using the GPU as a
co-processor accelerator to offload computationally-intensive tasks from the
CPU. This study starts from the observation that a number of GPU features (such
as overlapping communication and computation, short lived buffer reuse, and
harnessing multi-GPU systems) can be abstracted and reused across different
GPGPU applications.
The paper presents a current tunable multifunction filter using current
conveyor. The proposed circuit can be realized as on chip tunable low pass,
high pass, band pass and elliptical notch filter. The circuit employs two
current conveyors, one OTA, four resistors and two grounded capacitors, ideal
for integration. It has only one output terminal and the number of input
terminals may be used. Further, there is no requirement for component matching
in the circuit. The resonance frequency ({\omega}0) and bandwidth ({\omega}0
/Q) enjoy orthogonal tuning.
Time-to-market pressure and productivity gap force vendors and researchers to
improve embedded system design methodology. Current used design method,
Register Transfer Level (RTL), is no longer be adequate to comply with embedded
system design necessity. It needs a new methodology for facing the lack of RTL.
In this paper, a new methodology of hardware embedded system modeling process
is designed for improving design process performance using Transaction Level
Modeling (TLM). TLM is a higher abstraction design concept model above RTL
model.

tolerance in testing of satellites with acoustic spectrum. We mainly focus here
on achieving fault tolerance. An immediate application is the microphone data
acquisition and to do analysis at the Acoustic Test Facility (ATF) centre,
National Aerospace Laboratories. It has an 1100 cubic meter reverberation
chamber in which a maximum sound pressure level of 157 dB is generated. The six
channel Redundancy software with fault tolerant operation is devised and
developed.
Casualties due to traffic accidents are increasing day by day. Think of this
message being displayed on your computer screen while you were driving "there's
a possibility of collision with a car in the next few minutes if you go on
driving with this speed and direction". Our research is intended towards
developing collision avoidance architecture for the latest Intelligent
Transport System. The exchange of safety messages among vehicles and with
infrastructure devices poses major challenges.
This paper investigates the theoretical performance analysis for a subcarrier
multiplexed (SCM) wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical transmission
system in presence of optical beat interference (OBI) which occurs during the
photo detection process. We have presented a comparison for improving the
performance of SCM-WDM system in presence of OBI. Non-return-to zero (NRZ),
Manchester and Miller code (MC) line coding are used for performance
investigation of SCM-WDM system. A suitable signal bandwidth is selected and
200 KHz is considered as channel bandwidth.
This paper presents a new analytical model for calculating burst loss rate
(BLR) in a slotted optical burst switched network. The analytical result leads
to a framework which provides guidelines for optical burst switched networks.
Wavelength converter is used for burst contention resolution. The effect of
several design parameters such as burst arrival probability, wavelength
conversion capability, number of slots per burst and number of wavelengths is
incorporated on the above performance measure.
This paper focus on the study of the motion activity descriptor for shot
boundary detection in video sequences. We interest in the validation of this
descriptor in the aim of its real time implementation with reasonable high
performances in shot boundary detection. The motion activity information is
extracted in uncompressed domain based on adaptive rood pattern search (ARPS)
algorithm. In this context, the motion activity descriptor was applied for
different video sequence.
Computer Mediated Courseware (CMC) has been developed so far for individual
courses considering single or multiple text books. A group of courseware can be
developed by using multiple text books and in this case, it is a requirement to
cluster the contents of different books to form a generalized clustered
content. No work has been found to develop courseware applying generalized
clustered content.
Determination of design parameters based on electromagnetic simulations of
microwave circuits is an iterative and often time-consuming procedure. Space
mapping is a powerful technique to optimize such complex models by efficiently
substituting accurate but expensive electromagnetic models, fine models, with
fast and approximate models, coarse models. In this paper, we apply two space
mapping, an explicit space mapping as well as an implicit and response residual
space mapping, techniques to a case study application, a microstrip band-pass
filter.
All-Optical Network (AON) is a network where the user-network interface is
optical and the data does undergo optical to electrical conversion within the
network. AONs are attractive because they promise very high rates, flexible
switching and broad application support. There are two technologies for AON:
Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) and Optical Time Division Multiplexed
(OTDM). OTDM transmission systems are becoming increasingly important as one of
the key technologies satisfying the growing demand for large capacity optical
networks.
In resent years ANN is widely reported for modeling in different areas of
science including electro chemistry. This includes modeling of different
technological batteries such as lead acid battery, Nickel cadmium batteries
etc. Lithium ion batteries are advance battery technology which satisfy most of
the space mission requirements. Low earth orbit (LEO)space craft batteries
undergo large number of charge discharge cycles (about 25000 cycles)compared to
other ground level or space applications.
This is the second part, after [1], of the research devoted to analysis of
1-ports composed of similar conductors ("f-circuits") described by the
characteristic i = f(v) of a polynomial type. This analysis is performed by
means of the power-law "alfa"-circuit" introduced in [2], for which f(v) ~
v^"alfa". The f-circuits are constructed from the f-circuits of the same
topology, with the proper "alfa", so that the given topology is kept, and 'f'
is an additive function of the connection.
Plagiarism of material from the Internet is a widespread and growing problem.
Several methods used to detect the plagiarism and similarity between the source
document and suspected documents such as fingerprint based on character or
n-gram. In this paper, we discussed a new method to detect the plagiarism based
on graph representation; however, Preprocessing for each document is required
such as breaking down the document into its constituent sentences. Segmentation
of each sentence into separated terms and stop word removal.
The crosstalk noise model for noise constrained interconnects optimization is
presented for RC interconnects. The proposed model has simple closed-form
expressions, which is capable of predicting the noise amplitude and the noise
pulse width of an RC interconnect as well as coupling locations (near-driver
and near-receiver) on victim net.
This paper presents a fuzzy queuing location model for congested system. In a
queuing system there are different criteria that are not constant such as
service rate, service rate demand, queue length, the occupancy probability of a
service center and Probability of joining the queue line.
We show two universal, Boolean, deterministic logic schemes based on binary
noise timefunctions that can be realized without time averaging units. The
first scheme is based on a new bipolar random telegraph wave scheme and the
second one makes use of the recent noise-based logic which is conjectured to be
the brain's method of logic operations [Physics Letters A 373 (2009) 2338-2342,
arXiv:0902.2033]. For binary-valued logic operations, the two simple Boolean
schemes presented in this paper use zero (no noise) for the logic Low (L)
state.
Specifying QoS properties can limit the selection of some good web services
that the user will have considered; this is because the algorithm used strictly
ensures that there is a match between QoS properties of the consumer with that
of the available services. This is to say that, a situation may arise that some
services might not have all that the user specifies but are rated high in those
they have. With some tradeoffs specified in form of weight, these services will
be made available to the user for consideration.

of neural property of perceptron. Support rule and Sequence mining based
artificial intelligence oriented practices have also been done in this context.

out.
A few papers have been interested by the fixed switching frequency direct
torque control fed by direct matrix converters, where we can find just the use
of direct torque controlled space vector modulated method. In this present
paper, we present an improved method used for a fixed switching frequency
direct torque control (DTC) using a direct matrix converter (DMC). This method
is characterized by a simple structure, a fixed switching frequency which
causes minimal torque ripple and a unity input power factor.
In this article, we proposed a Variable threshold MOSFET(VTMOS)approach which
is realized from Dynamic Threshold MOSFET(DTMOS), suitable for sub-threshold
digital circuit operation. Basically the principle of sub- threshold logics is
operating MOSFET in sub-threshold region and using the leakage current in that
region for switching action, there by drastically decreasing power. To reduce
the power consumption of sub-threshold circuits further, a novel body biasing
technique termed VTMOS is introduced .VTMOS approach is realized from DTMOS
approach.

Fractionally-Spaced equalization and Activity Detection Guidance, to improve
its stability, steady-state error performance and convergence rate.

not much has been done to extend the usage of these devices in electronic
learning (e-learning) and information sharing. This project explores the
extension of e learning into wireless/ handheld (W/H) computing devices with
the help of a mobile learning (m-learning) framework.
In the beginning of 21st century there has been a dramatic shift in the
market dynamics of telecommunication services. The transmission from base
station to mobile or downlink transmission using M-ary Quadrature Amplitude
modulation (QAM) and Quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation schemes
are considered in Wideband-Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) system. We
have done the performance analysis of these modulation techniques when the
system is subjected to Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and multipath
Rayleigh fading are considered in the channel.
To improve the performance of speaker identification systems, an effective
and robust method is proposed to extract speech features, capable of operating
in noisy environment. Based on the time-frequency multi-resolution property of
wavelet transform, the input speech signal is decomposed into various frequency
channels. For capturing the characteristic of the signal, the Mel-Frequency
Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) of the wavelet channels are calculated.
This paper introduces and motivates the use of hybrid robust feature
extraction technique for spoken language identification (LID) system. The
speech recognizers use a parametric form of a signal to get the most important
distinguishable features of speech signal for recognition task. In this paper
Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), Perceptual linear prediction
coefficients (PLP) along with two hybrid features are used for language
Identification.
This paper presents arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction and
multiplications in Modulo-4 arithmetic, and also addition, multiplication in
Galois field, using multi-valued logic (MVL). Quaternary to binary and binary
to quaternary converters are designed using down literal circuits. Negation in
modular arithmetic is designed with only one gate. Logic design of each
operation is achieved by reducing the terms using Karnaugh diagrams, keeping
minimum number of gates and depth of net in to consideration. Quaternary
multiplier circuit is proposed to achieve required optimization.
In this paper a CMOS operational amplifier is presented which operates at 2V
power supply and 1microA input bias current at 0.8 micron technology using non
conventional mode of operation of MOS transistors and whose input is depended
on bias current. The unique behaviour of the MOS transistors in subthreshold
region not only allows a designer to work at low input bias current but also at
low voltage. While operating the device at weak inversion results low power
dissipation but dynamic range is degraded.
A general procedure to compute the output distribution D for certain
nonlinear operators S (so called erosion-dilation cascades) is given. A
refinement of the procedure yields D for some important LULU-operators S.

nonlinear operator S.
We propose a novel theoretical biomolecular design to implement any Boolean
circuit using the mechanism of DNA strand displacement. The design is scalable:
all species of DNA strands can in principle be mixed and prepared in a single
test tube, rather than requiring separate purification of each species, which
is a barrier to large-scale synthesis. The design is time-responsive: the
concentration of output species changes in response to the concentration of
input species, so that time-varying inputs may be continuously processed.
The increased use of LEDs for lighting purposes has led to the development of
numerous applications requiring a pre-selection of LEDs by their luminance and
/ or their chromaticity coordinate. This paper demonstrates how a manual
pre-selection process can be realized using a relatively simple configuration.
Since a manual selection service can only be commercially viable as long as
only small quantities of LEDs need to be sorted, an automated solution suggests
itself. This paper introduces such a solution, which has been developed by
Harzoptics in close cooperation with Rundfunk Gernrode.

ultrasound waves from different types of tissues with different acoustic
impedance.
Image denoising is getting more significance, especially in Computed
Tomography (CT), which is an important and most common modality in medical
imaging. This is mainly due to that the effectiveness of clinical diagnosis
using CT image lies on the image quality. The denoising technique for CT images
using window-based Multi-wavelet transformation and thresholding shows the
effectiveness in denoising, however, a drawback exists in selecting the closer
windows in the process of window-based multi-wavelet transformation and
thresholding.
Text Document classification aims in associating one or more predefined
categories based on the likelihood suggested by the training set of labeled
documents. Many machine learning algorithms play a vital role in training the
system with predefined categories among which Na\"ive Bayes has some intriguing
facts that it is simple, easy to implement and draws better accuracy in large
datasets in spite of the na\"ive dependence.
In recent years, discovery of association rules among itemsets in a large
database has been described as an important database-mining problem. The
problem of discovering association rules has received considerable research
attention and several algorithms for mining frequent itemsets have been
developed. Many algorithms have been proposed to discover rules at single
concept level. However, mining association rules at multiple concept levels may
lead to the discovery of more specific and concrete knowledge from data.
Copyright protection and authentication of digital contents has become a
significant issue in the current digital epoch with efficient communication
mediums such as internet. Plain text is the rampantly used medium used over the
internet for information exchange and it is very crucial to verify the
authenticity of information. There are very limited techniques available for
plain text watermarking and authentication. This paper presents a novel
zero-watermarking algorithm for authentication of plain text.
This paper proposes a new technique based on nonlinear Adaptive Median filter
(AMF) for image restoration. Image denoising is a common procedure in digital
image processing aiming at the removal of noise, which may corrupt an image
during its acquisition or transmission, while retaining its quality. This
procedure is traditionally performed in the spatial or frequency domain by
filtering. The aim of image enhancement is to reconstruct the true image from
the corrupted image.

approaches that are currently applied to this problem domain. The ability of
methodology to implement data flow type processing with different models is
presented in this paper.

types, algorithm scalability, constraint based data mining and visualization
methods. In this paper we will present domain specific Secure Multiparty
computation technique and applications.
The existing information retrieval techniques do not consider the context of
the keywords present in the user's queries. Therefore, the search engines
sometimes do not provide sufficient information to the users. New methods based
on the semantics of user keywords must be developed to search in the vast web
space without incurring loss of information. The semantic based information
retrieval techniques need to understand the meaning of the concepts in the user
queries.

use a higher level RBC that stores and allows reutilizing change experiences,
combined with a classic rule-based inference engine.
In a network, arrival process is converted into departure process through
network elements. The departure process suffer propagation delay in the link,
processing delay at the network elements like router and data loss due to
buffer overflow or congestion. For providing guaranteed service resources need
to be reserved before conversation takes place. To reserve such resources
estimation of them are indispensable. The idea of service curve gives
beforehand deterministic value of these parameters.
