    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 1001-1023, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.08052
    Abstract This study focuses on vibration analysis of cylindrical pressure vessels constructed by functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composites (FG-CNTRC). The vessel is under internal pressure and surrounded by a Pasternak foundation. This investigation was founded based on two-dimensional elastic analysis and used Hamilton’s principle to drive the governing equations. The deformations and effectivemechanical properties of the reinforced structure were elicited from the first-order shear theory (FSDT) and rule of mixture, respectively. The main goal of this study is to show the effects of various design parameters such as boundary conditions, reinforcement distribution, foundation parameters, and aspect ratio on the free… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 1025-1051, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.08742
    Abstract Mobile commerce (m-commerce) contributes to increasing the popularity of electronic commerce (e-commerce), allowing anybody to sell or buy goods using a mobile device or tablet anywhere and at any time. As demand for e-commerce increases tremendously, the pressure on delivery companies increases to organise their transportation plans to achieve profits and customer satisfaction. One important planning problem in this domain is the multi-vehicle profitable pickup and delivery problem (MVPPDP), where a selected set of pickup and delivery customers need to be served within certain allowed trip time. In this paper, we proposed hybrid clustering algorithms with the greedy randomised adaptive… More >

    High Speed Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) Using Low Power Precomputation Based Content Addressable Memory

    R. Mythili1, *, P. Kalpana2
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 1097-1107, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.08396
    Abstract NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection Systems) plays a vital role in security threats to computers and networks. With the onset of gigabit networks, hardware-based Intrusion Detection System gains popularity because of its high performance when compared to the software-based NIDS. The software-based system limits parallel execution, which in turn confines the performance of a modern network. This paper presents a signature-based lookup technique using reconfigurable hardware. Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is used as a lookup table architecture to improve the speed instead of search algorithms. To minimize the power and to increase the speed, precomputation based CAM (PBCAM) can be used,… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 1109-1123, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.07989
    Abstract This paper presents an adapted stabilisation method for the equal-order mixed scheme of finite elements on convex polygonal meshes to analyse the high velocity and pressure gradient of incompressible fluid flows that are governed by Stokes equations system. This technique is constructed by a local pressure projection which is extremely simple, yet effective, to eliminate the poor or even non-convergence as well as the instability of equal-order mixed polygonal technique. In this research, some numerical examples of incompressible Stokes fluid flow that is coded and programmed by MATLAB will be presented to examine the effectiveness of the proposed stabilised method.

    Stochastic Numerical Analysis for Impact of Heavy Alcohol Consumption on Transmission Dynamics of Gonorrhoea Epidemic

    Kamaleldin Abodayeh1, Ali Raza2, *, Muhammad Shoaib Arif2, Muhammad Rafiq3, Mairaj Bibi4, Muhammad Mohsin5
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 1125-1142, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.08885
    Abstract This paper aims to perform a comparison of deterministic and stochastic models. The stochastic modelling is a more realistic way to study the dynamics of gonorrhoea infection as compared to its corresponding deterministic model. Also, the deterministic solution is itself mean of the stochastic solution of the model. For numerical analysis, first, we developed some explicit stochastic methods, but unfortunately, they do not remain consistent in certain situations. Then we proposed an implicitly driven explicit method for stochastic heavy alcohol epidemic model. The proposed method is independent of the choice of parameters and behaves well in all scenarios. So, some… More >

    Abstract The task of prison term prediction is to predict the term of penalty based on textual fact description for a certain type of criminal case. Recent advances in deep learning frameworks inspire us to propose a two-step method to address this problem. To obtain a better understanding and more specific representation of the legal texts, we summarize a judgment model according to relevant law articles and then apply it in the extraction of case feature from judgment documents. By formalizing prison term prediction as a regression problem, we adopt the linear regression model and the neural network model to train… More >

    Abstract Accurate segmentation of CT images of liver tumors is an important adjunct for the liver diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. In recent years, due to the great improvement of hard device, many deep learning based methods have been proposed for automatic liver segmentation.

They have achieved certain achievements in medical image segmentation. In this paper, we firstly select five representative structures, i.e., FCN, U-Net, Segnet, Resnet and Densenet, to investigate their performance on liver… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 1259-1271, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.06723
    Abstract Local binary pattern (LBP) is one of the most advanced image classification recognition operators and is commonly used in texture detection area. Research indicates that LBP also has a good application prospect in steganalysis. However, the existing LBP-based steganalysis algorithms are only capable to detect the least significant bit (LSB) and the least significant bit matching (LSBM) algorithms. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a steganalysis model called msdeLTP, which is based on multi-scale local ternary patterns (LTP) and derivative filters. The main characteristics of the msdeLTP are as follows: First, to reduce the interference of image content on… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 1273-1288, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.07269
    Abstract Deep learning models have been shown to have great advantages in answer selection tasks. The existing models, which employ encoder-decoder recurrent neural network (RNN), have been demonstrated to be effective. However, the traditional RNN-based models still suffer from limitations such as 1) high-dimensional data representation in natural language processing and 2) biased attentive weights for subsequent words in traditional time series models. In this study, a new answer selection model is proposed based on the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) and attention mechanism. The proposed model is able to generate the more effective question-answer pair representation. Experiments on a question… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 1289-1302, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.06281
    Abstract Based on multiphase field conception and integrated with the idea of vectorvalued phase field, a phase field model for typical allotropic transformation of solid solution is proposed. The model takes the non-uniform distribution of grain boundaries of parent phase and crystal orientation into account in proper way, as being illustrated by the simulation of austenite to ferrite transformation in low carbon steel. It is found that the misorientation dependent grain boundary mobility shows strong influence on the formation of ferrite morphology comparing with the weak effect exerted by misorientation dependent grain boundary energy.

This paper presents a discrete-time consensus protocol for a class of multi-agent systems with switching topologies and input constraints based on distributed predictive control scheme. The consensus protocol is not only distributed but also depends on the errors of states between agent and its neighbors. We focus mainly on dealing with the input constraints and a distributed model predictive control scheme is developed to achieve stable consensus under the condition that both velocity and acceleration constraints are included simultaneously.
