Human action recognition is beneficial for numerous practical applications, e.g., gaming, video surveillance, and video search. In this paper, we address the problem of designing good low-level features for human action recognition. We introduce the ...

A comparison of the numbers of cloudy days and clear days shows a recent increase of the former because of fine or yellow dust. Although imaging systems are used in various fields, the image-quality degradation that is due to fog is an outstanding ...

In this paper, we introduce a practical system which uses mobile devices for interactive manuals. In particular, there are two modes provided in the system, namely, expert/trainer and trainee modes. Given the expert/trainer editor, experts design the ...

With the rapid growth in the number of spiraling network users and the increase in the use of communication technologies, the multi-server environment is the most common environment for widely deployed applications. Reddy et al. recently showed that Lu ...

The expansion of social network, particularly Facebook and the ubiquitous use of mobile device has reshaped the way people consume news. In our study, we analyze Web server logs of a daily online newspaper in Malaysia to investigate the effects of ...

In view of high-dimensional and non-hierarchical large data sets, an improved CFSC (Closed Frag-Shells Cube) method is proposed based on the Frag-Shells method in this paper. When the Data Cube is generated, the high-dimensional data is divided into ...

In recent years, the phenomenon of localized bursts of rainfall has increased in Japan. For this reason, collecting and sharing rain information quickly is the most important issue in terms of disaster prevention measures related to water disasters. ...

This paper presents new model of multi-layer networks that may be as a mean as a subject of services. It is a further development of queuing network concept that use a hypernet for representing its structure.

Most neural network models for sentiment classification use word vectors pre-trained by word embedding methods to represent a word. Although word vectors are trained on large corpus, most of them are restricted by the vocabularies in the corpus. Since ...

In this paper, we design an OFDM communication system with ICI cancellation embedded over LTE-R channel. In our proposed system, a very fast time-varying multipath fading channel is integrated with the use of D2a scenario of WINNER II channel model. The ...

Document Imaging Understanding (DIU) is the process of converting all of the information content of a document image digital into an electronic format launched its reasonable content. We first evaluate different state-of-the-art object detection methods ...

Recently, a huge amount of educational video contents have become available due to diverse IT technologies and rapidly growing demand for online learning. Popular resources for various high quality educational contents include OCW (OpenCourseWare), MOOC ...

The proliferation of optical network technology has helped to alleviate the emerging of next generation transport networks; also known as intelligent optical network. Network functions previously processed in the electrical domain have now gradually ...

Multicast1 can allow a gateway to send data packets to a group of receivers in an efficient manner, which can save bandwidth and network resources. A major issue for wireless mesh networks (WMNs) is multicast routing. In multicast communication, link ...

Computer mediated communication (CMC) applications are widely used in academic field. Students have considerably usage of CMC applications in several applications including learning and social communication. social media networks are commonly used in ...

Two experiments were conducted in order to investigate the effects of screen-size (3.5" vs. 7" vs. 10.1") on efficiency of mobile learning (m-learning) over time (immediate vs. delayed). Experiment 1 (N=141) revealed that students who took a mobile ...

This paper presents a stateful algorithm based on OpenFlow protocol to establish a tunnel without the requirement of global IP address in a simple and scalable manner. The algorithm modifies incoming packet according to a database of four tuples mapping ...

This study aims to explore students' motivations for playing educational games. The structural equation modeling (SEM) of data from 591 students in university history classes revealed that perceived enjoyment and satisfaction are significantly ...

View support is one of the most attractive features of relational databases from both theoretical and practical points of view. However, as views are not base relations stored in a database but merely definitions of queries issued to a database, the ...

Prediction of bus travel time is one of crucial issues for passengers in letting them know their departure time from an origin and arrival time at a destination and allowing them to make decisions (e.g., postpone departure time at certain hours) and to ...

Internet has been growing tremendously since its beginning and day by day more and more computers are getting added to it. This sets a tremendous pressure on the available bandwidth of links connecting the nodes. With the evolution of Internet Protocol ...

The accuracy and availability of personal health records (PHR) may improve patient outcome by ensuring important aspects in treatment such as continuity of care, evidence- based treatment and more importantly prevent medical errors. However, getting PHR ...

In the era of smart devices, the reliance of intelligence is the abundance of data. This data is heterogeneous in nature and generated by many small-scale sensory devices. With their task-specific nature, these sensory devices are energy efficient ...

This paper presents the performance evaluation of Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLN) and Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) in terms of Round-Trip delay Time (RTT) and Packet Loss Ratio (PLR). We test the RTT and PLR of LLN using Linux Ping6 ...

The students' English proficiency has become an important requirement for job seeking after graduation. The universities in non-native English speaking countries find their challenges in improving their students' English language skills. Loei Rajabhat ...

Robots with 3G/LTE capability can cooperate with others by using link-aggregation. When one needs to send an unexpectedly large dataset in high-bandwidth situations to a remote center office, a robot can distribute its data to other robots via ...

Device-to-device1 (D2D) technology in fifth-generation wireless communication (5G) can leverage densely deployed multiple ad hoc networks. Much research has been done to improve QoS, such as throughput, which would decrease because of ad hoc networks' ...

As the Internet evolves to include many very high speed and long distance network paths, the performance of TCP have improved. Particularly, modern loss-based TCPs increase the window size aggressively togain better throughput over other competing TCP ...

An enormous amount of research have been published related to ontology matching. The core motivation behind these researches aim to develop matching techniques that result in highly accurate ontology matching systems. However the performance (in terms ...
