In view of pollution prediction modeling, the study adopts homogenous (random forest, bagging, and additive regression) and heterogeneous (voting) ensemble classifiers to predict the atmospheric concentration of Sulphur dioxide. For model validation, results were compared against widely known single base classifiers such as support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, linear regression and re...

Watermarking algorithms needs properties of robustness and perceptibility. But these properties are affected by different -2 types of attacks performed on watermarked images. The goal of performing attacks is destroy the information of watermark hidden in the watermarked image. So every Algorithms should be previously tested by developers so that it would not affected by attacks.

Vehicle noise emissions are an ongoing research topic in the field of sound quality design. Another area, which been hardly investigated in the past years, is the warning function of this noise for other road users, especially pedestrians. Therefore, this paper will show results of experiments dealing with the detection of the sounds of different cars in a typical urban background noise. Moreov...

this paper proposes improvements and revisions to a recent approach in a voting system, and provides an effective approach with a stronger discriminate power. for this purpose, the advantage of a linear transformation is utilized to redene a previously used concept of virtual worst candidate, by incorporating the existing weight restrictions. then, the best score of this virtual candidate is u...

The purpose of this paper is to compute the Banzhaf power index for weighted voting games as well as weighted double and triple majority games. We calculate the Banzhaf index in an exact way by generating functions, with a signi...cant decrease of the computational complexity. Moreover, the Banzhaf indices are calculated for the decision rules approved in the Nice summit meeting, which will be ...
