In this paper we provide a theoretical discussion of the impact of uncertainty in quality measurement on the expected benefits of including biometric signal quality measures in classification. While an ideal signal quality measure should be a precise quantification of the actual signal properties relevant to the classification process, a real quality measurement may be uncertain. We show how do...

Classification of various rice types and determination of its quality is a major issue in the scientific and commercial fields associated with modern agriculture. In recent years, various image processing techniques are used to identify different types of agricultural products. There are also various color and texture-based features in order to achieve the desired results in this area. In this ...

A hybrid approach for intrusion detection in computer networks is presented in this paper. The proposed approach combines an evolutionary-based fuzzy system with an Ant Colony Optimization procedure to generate high-quality fuzzy-classification rules. We applied our hybrid learning approach to network security and validated it using the DARPA KDD-Cup99 benchmark data set. The results indicate t...

Concern for individual consumption relative to per capita consumption can induce a fear of falling behind which increases precautionary savings. This fear intensifies as societal income growth increases, allowing for a positive effect of growth on savings rates. JEL classifications: E21, D11, D91.

Le schwannome est une tumeur nerveuse bénigne rare. Il peut être à l'origine d'une ostéolyse mécanique des pédicules des vertèbres sus et sous jacente, lors de la croissance tumorale, pour permettre l'extension extra-rachidienne. Nous rapportons une association exceptionnelle de schwannome et de mal de pott au même niveau. Il s'agissait d'une patiente âgée de 67 ans, ayant des antécédents de di...

Abstract Medical waste management due to the COVID-19 pandemic is important and urgent. An approach needed assess weight of medical design appropriate management. The research was conducted in 2020 when still ongoing had not yet reached peak outbreak. Thus, analysis built based on assumptions available data. quantitative. Data were collected digitally (by big data retrieval web survey) referral...

We have raised monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed towards amastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi, and shown that mAbs ID9 and 4B9 are carbohydrate while mAb 4B5 activity is resistant to periodate oxidation of the antigen. Here we used an ELISA to quantitate and compare the expression of surface epitopes on fixed parasites among different parasite isolates. The expression of markers varied amo...
