Abstract Over the decades, protecting the privacy of a health cloud using the design of a fog computing network is a very important field and will be more important in the near future. Current Internet of Things (IoT) research includes security and privacy due to their extreme importance in any growing technology that involves the implementation of cryptographic Internet communications (ICs) for protected IC applications such as fog computing and cloud computing devices. In addition, the implementation of public-key cryptography for IoT-based DNA sequence testing devices requires considerable expertise. Any key can be broken by using a brute-force attack with ample… More >

Abstract The high turnover of developers in the Open-Source Software (OSS) systems is due to the lack of restriction on a developer’s involvement and contributions. The primary developers start and administer an OSS project. However, they do not manage those who contribute. The literature shows that 80% of issues are resolved by 20% of developers when developing an OSS. Therefore, identifying influential developer communities is quite necessary for OSS stakeholders to reduce the efforts required to solve the issue through releases and predict quality. The purpose of this proposed empirical study is to explore influential communities by analyzing the relationship between… More >

Abstract Stocks are the key components of most investment portfolios. The accurate forecasting of stock prices can help investors and investment brokerage firms make profits or reduce losses. However, stock forecasting is complex because of the intrinsic features of stock data, such as nonlinearity, long-term dependency, and volatility. Moreover, stock prices are affected by multiple factors. Various studies in this field have proposed ways to improve prediction accuracy. However, not all of the proposed features are valid, and there is often noise in the features—such as political, economic, and legal factors—which can lead to poor prediction results. To overcome such limitations,… More >

Abstract

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a style of software design where Web Services (WS) provide services to the other components through a communication protocol over a network. WS components are managed, updated, and rearranged at runtime to provide the business processes as SCs, which consist of a set of WSs that can be invoked in a specific order to fulfill the clients’ requests. According to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements, WS selection and composition are significant perspectives of research to meet the clients’ expectations. This paper presents an effective technique using SMFS that attempts to improve the WS selection… More >

Abstract Corona Virus (COVID-19) is a contagious disease. Unless an effective vaccine is available, various techniques such as lockdown, social distancing, or business Standard operating procedures (SOPs) must be implemented. Lockdown is an effective technique for controlling the spread of the virus, but it severely affects the economy of developing countries. No single technique for controlling a pandemic situation has ever returned a promising result; therefore, using a combination of techniques would be best for controlling COVID-19. The South asian association of regional corporation (SAARC), region contains populous and developing countries that have a unique social-cultural lifestyle that entails a higher… More >

Abstract The recent novel coronavirus (COVID-19, as the World Health Organization has called it) has proven to be a source of risk for global public health. The virus, which causes an acute respiratory disease in persons, spreads rapidly and is now threatening more than 150 countries around the world. One of the essential procedures that patients with COVID-19 need is an accurate and rapid screening process. In this research, utilizing the features of deep learning methods, we present a method for detecting COVID-19 and a screening model that uses pulmonary computed tomography images to differentiate COVID-19 pneumonia from healthy cases. In… More >

Abstract Several types of accurate and high-speed 3D shape measurement using linear LED devices were developed by author's research group. The linear LED device is a key device to develop them. High-speed phase shift synchronized with camera triggers can be achieved by switching the lighting position of the linear LED. The control signals can be generated easily with a no special micro-computer. A compact projector unit can be produced. Author also proposed a calibration method, named a whole-space tabulation method (WSTM), for an accurate and high-speed shape measurement using multiple reference planes. A handy, fullcolor and real-time 3D shape measurement unit… More >

Abstract Modeling and simulation of multiphase flow in porous media have been a major effort in reservoir engineering and in environmental study. Petroleum engineers use reservoir simulation models to manage existing petroleum fields and to develop new oil and gas reservoirs, while environmental scientists use subsurface flow and transport models to investigate and compare for example various schemes to inject and store CO2 in subsurface geological formations, such as depleted reservoirs and deep saline aquifers. One well cited requirement is to conserve the mass globally and locally, but most popular methods of N-phase flow used in practice conserve mass only for… More >

Abstract In this study, a sampling moire method in which parallel laser lines were generated in a camera using a diffraction grating was proposed. A green laser of line projection function, a diffraction grating and an industrial camera were used as an experimental device. Object images with laser line projection before and after displacement were taken by the camera. Displacements that calculated by a sampling moire method and a method of averaging center-ofgravity were be compared. Results show that the proposed method is more precision than method of averaging center-of-gravity. More >

Abstract This study establishes a method to measure the displacement and strain of rubber with large and fast deformations using digital image correlation. In order to elucidate the mechanism of growth of a crack and to investigate the complex behavior of a crack tip, which is important for that purpose, displacement and strain near the crack where large strains are locally generated by stress concentration are measured. A displacement restraint rubber sheet of a strip fixed at upper and lower ends with an initial crack is used as a test piece. A constant rate displacement load is applied to it, its… More >
