Recommender systems, tool for predicting users’ potential preferences by computing history data and users’ interests, show an increasing importance in various Internet applications such as online shopping. As a well-known recommendation method, neighbourhood-based collaborative filtering has attracted considerable attentions recently. The risk of revealing users’ private information during the ...

Increasingly a large amount of data relevant to a wide variety of scientific domains is self-published by scientists on websites and this is proving to be an important resource for the replicability and further development of science. Much of this data is even made available as linked data. However, the self-publishing model provides no quality control on the data, and as such datasets frequent...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract In advancement of digital era and storage technology, large-set of image data are being generated now a days, image dataset categories like bio images, satellite images each dataset contains hundreds of images for processing or study. With such fas...

Comprehensive field studies were initiated in 2002 to measure emissions of ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHC), particulate matter <10 microm in diameter, and total suspended particulate from swine and poultry production buildings in the United States. This paper focuses on the quasicontinuous gas concentration measurement a...

Assured Service has been proposed within the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model to provide relative service differentiation by attempting to allocate bandwidth to different users in a controlled way during periods of network congestion. In this paper, we analyze the Assured Service scheme by means of a priority queueing system with statedependent service scheduling based on thresholds. We...

This paper describes a method for building a high-quality web page collection with a reduced manual assessment cost that exploits local surrounding pages. Effectiveness of the method is shown through experiments using a researcher’s homepage as an example of the target categories. The method consists of two processes: rough filtering and accurate classification. In both processes, we introduce ...

The saw-tooth like behaviors of TCP impact Assured Forwarding Service flows in a differentiated services (diffserv) network. Therefore, we argue the use of TCP-friendly building blocks (or modules) and fairness modules in the diffserv architecture regarding this issue, and propose Two Markers System (TMS) that is able to properly mark packets and fairly share the bandwidth to each flow for thei...
