Nowadays high fuzzy utility based pattern mining is an emerging topic in data mining. It refers to discover all patterns having a high utility meeting a user-specified minimum high utility threshold. It comprises extracting patterns which are highly accessed in mobile web service sequences. Different from the traditional fuzzy approach, high fuzzy utility mining considers not only counts of mob...

This paper presents a novel view independent approach on silhouette based human motion analysis for gait recognition applications. Spatio-temporal 1-D signals based on the differences between the outer of binarized silhouette of a motion object and a bounding box placed around silhouette are chosen as the basic image features called the distance vectors. The distance vectors are extracted using...

The physiological correlate of perceived vocal loudness is the overpressure of air under the glottis, or the subglottal pressure Psub. Variation of vocal loudness, i.e., of Psub has strong effects on the waveform of the transglottal airflow, also called the voice source. As the voice source is the primary sound itself, which after filtering by the vocal tract resonator is radiated through the l...

This paper proposes a new evolutionary region merging method in order to efficiently improve segmentation quality results. Our approach starts from an oversegmented image, which is obtained by applying a standard morphological watershed transformation on the original image. Next, each resulting region is represented by its centroid. The oversegmented image is described by a simplified undirecte...

This paper presents a novel approach is described for realtime human/vehicle classification and motion analysis in real visual surveillance scene. Spatio-temporal 1-D signals based on the distances between the outer contour of binarized silhouette of a motion object and a bounding box placed around the silhouette are chosen as the basic image features called the distance vectors. The spatio-tem...

-The demand for wireless broadband services is growing rapidly. Mobile WiMAX is one of the most promising technologies for broadband wireless communication. It allows users to roam over the network under vehicular speeds. However since IEEE 802.16e standard for Mobile WiMAX defines only hard handover mandatory, Mobile WiMAX cannot transmit or receive packets during handover. Thus real-time pack...

The research determined the stakeholder’s level of satisfaction with dimensions quality service delivery enhancement. It covered reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy, and responsiveness. results highlighted that stakeholders’ on was higher than standard, especially in assurance while above minimum standard for reliability responsiveness, less comparable tangibility. claimed high manifesta...

1. Overview of the Japanese Childcare System Government plays a principle role in running of childcare system in Japan. In specific, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) is responsible for regulating new entries into the market by setting a minimum standard in staff-child ratio, space of nursery room per child and capacities etc. Moreover, about 70% daycare centers are licensed ones wh...

This paper describes an efficient global cell (module) placement strategy called HALO (Hierarchical Alternating Linear Ordering) which generates a global 2-D placement of circuit modules by hierarchical application of linear ordering in alternating direction. It is explained why HALO should perform better than other typical, somewhat successful, analytical approaches such as min-cut, force-dire...

In this paper we discuss the issues that need to be resolved before fully automated outdoor surveillance systems can be developed, and present solutions to some of these problems. Any outdoor surveillance system must be able to track objects moving in its field of view, classify these objects and detect some of their activities. We have developed a method to track and classify these objects in ...
