Abstract With the advancement of human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence, emotion recognition has received significant research attention. The most commonly used technique for emotion recognition is EEG, which is directly associated with the central nervous system and contains strong emotional features. However, there are some disadvantages to using EEG signals. They require high dimensionality, diverse and complex processing procedures which make real-time computation difficult. In addition, there are problems in data acquisition and interpretation due to body movement or reduced concentration of the experimenter. In this paper, we used photoplethysmography (PPG) and electromyography (EMG) to record signals. Firstly, we segmented the… More >

Abstract The need to ensure the quality of video streaming transmitted over wireless networks is growing every day. Video streaming is typically used for applications that are sensitive to poor quality of service (QoS) due to insufficient bandwidth, packet loss, or delay. These challenges hurt video streaming quality since they affect throughput and packet delivery of the transmitted video. To achieve better video streaming quality, throughput must be high, with minimal packet delay and loss ratios. A current study, however, found that the adoption of the adaptive multiple TCP connections (AM-TCP), as a transport layer protocol, improves the quality of video… More >

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a nervous system disorder first described as a neurological condition in 1817. It is one of the more prevalent diseases in the elderly, and Alzheimer’s is the second most common neurodegenerative illness. It impacts the patient’s movement. Symptoms start gradually with tremors, stiffness in movement, and speech and voice disorders. Researches proved that 89% of patients with Parkinson’s has speech disorder including uncertain articulation, hoarse and breathy voice and monotone pitch. The cause behind this voice change is the reduction of dopamine due to damage of neurons in the substantia nigra responsible for dopamine production. In… More >

Abstract Extracting the features from an image is a cumbersome task. Initially, this task was performed by domain experts through a process known as handcrafted feature design. A deep embedding technique known as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) later solved this problem by introducing the feature learning concept, through which the CNN is directly provided with images. This CNN then learns the features of the image, which are subsequently given as input to the further layers for an intended task like classification. CNNs have demonstrated astonishing performance in several practicable applications in the last few years. Nevertheless, the pursuance of CNNs primarily… More >

Abstract This study addressed sufficient conditions for the robust monotonic convergence of repetitive discrete-time linear parameter varying systems, with the parameter variation rate bound. The learning law under consideration is an anticipatory iterative learning control. Of particular interest in this study is that the iterations can eliminate the influence of disturbances. Based on a simple quadratic performance function, a sufficient condition for the proposed learning algorithm is presented in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI) by imposing a polytopic structure on the Lyapunov matrix. The set of LMIs to be determined considers the bounds on the rate of variation of the… More >

Abstract Automated Vehicles (AVs) reform the automotive industry by enabling real-time and efficient data exchange between the vehicles. While connectivity and automation of the vehicles deliver a slew of benefits, they may also introduce new safety, security, and privacy risks. Further, AVs rely entirely on the sensor data and the data from other vehicles too. On the other hand, the sensor data is susceptible to anomalies caused by cyber-attacks, errors, and faults, resulting in accidents and fatalities. Hence, it is essential to create techniques for detecting anomalies and identifying their sources before the wide adoption of AVs. This paper proposes an… More >

Abstract Electromagnets are commonly used as support for machine components and parts in magnetic bearing systems (MBSs). Compared with conventional mechanical bearings, the magnetic bearings have less noise, friction, and vibration, but the magnetic force has a highly nonlinear relationship with the control current and the air gap. This research presents a dynamic sliding mode backstepping control (DSMBC) designed to track the height position of modeless vertical MBS. Because MBS is nonlinear with model uncertainty, the design of estimator should be able to solve the lumped uncertainty. The proposed DSMBC controller can not only stabilize the nonlinear system under mismatched uncertainties,… More >

Abstract Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a wireless communication technology that is used for highly reliable and high data rate communication. In a multi-user OFDM system, the interference has occurred in the receiver side between the consecutive OFDM symbols. This interference reduces the performance of the OFDM system. To achieve good quality in received symbols the interference level should be minimized. The conventional cancellation system requires higher interference reduction time and power. These limitations of the conventional interference cancellation architectures for OFDM systems are overcome by proposing efficient and low power interference cancellation architecture. Hence, this paper proposes a novel… More >

Abstract Social media recently became convenient platforms for different groups with common concerns to share their experiences, including Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). In this paper, we propose a two stage intelligent algorithm which we call “Simi_to_Prob”, that utilizes social media forums; for ranking ADRs, and evaluating the ADRs prevalence considering different age and gender groups as its first stage. In the second stage, ADRs are predicted utilizing a different data set from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In particular, Natural Language Processing (NLP) is used on social media to extract ranked lists of ADRs, which are then validated using novel… More >

Abstract Accurate estimation of communication bandwidth is critical for the sensing and controlling applications of smart grid. Different from public network, the bandwidth requirements of smart grid communication network must be accurately estimated in prior to the deployment of applications or even the building of communication network. However, existing methods for smart grid usually model communication nodes in coarse-grained ways, so their estimations become inaccurate in scenarios where the same type of nodes have very different bandwidth requirements. To solve this issue, we propose a fine-grained estimation method based on multivariate nonlinear fitting. Firstly, we use linear fitting to calculate the… More >

Abstract Digital clinical histopathology technique is used for accurately diagnosing cancer cells and achieving optimal results using Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain technology. The cell pattern of Synovial Sarcoma (SS) cancer images always appeared as spindle shaped cell (SSC) structures. Identifying the SSC and its prognostic indicator are very crucial problems for computer aided diagnosis, especially in healthcare industry applications. A constructive framework has been proposed for the classification of SSC feature components using Support Vector Machine (SVM) with the assistance of relevant Support Vectors (SVs). This framework used the SS images, and it has been transformed into frequency sub-bands… More >

Abstract Electricity conservation systems are designed to conserve electricity to manage the bridge between the high raising demand and the production. Such systems have been so far using sensors to detect the necessity which adds an additional cost to the setup. Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) has been installed in almost everywhere around us especially in commercial places. Interpretation of these CCTV images is being carried out for various reasons to elicit the information from it. Hence a framework for electricity conservation that enables the electricity supply only when required, using existing resources would be a cost effective conservation system. Such a framework… More >

Abstract Automated biometric authentication attracts the attention of researchers to work on hand-based images to develop applications in forensics science. Finger Knuckle Print (FKP) is one of the hand-based biometrics used in the recognition of an individual. FKP is rich in texture, less in contact and known for its unique features. The dimensionality of the features, extracted from the image, is one of the main problems in pattern recognition. Since selecting the relevant features is an important but challenging task, the feature subset selection is an optimization problem. A reduced number of features results in enhanced classification accuracy. The proposed FKP… More >

Abstract Research in speech recognition is progressing with numerous state-of-the-art results in recent times. However, relatively fewer research is being carried out in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for languages with low resources. We present a method to develop speech recognition model with minimal resources using Mozilla DeepSpeech architecture. We have utilized freely available online computational resources for training, enabling similar approaches to be carried out for research in a low-resourced languages in a financially constrained environments. We also present novel ways to build an efficient language model from publicly available web resources to improve accuracy in ASR. The proposed ASR model… More >
