In communication industry one of the most rapidly growing area is wireless technology and its applications. The efficient access to radio spectrum is a requirement to make this communication feasible for the users that are running multimedia applications and establishing real-time connections on an already overcrowded spectrum. In recent times cognitive radios (CR) are becoming the prime candidates for improved utilization of available spectrum. The unlicensed secondary users share the spectrum with primary licensed user in such manners that the interference at the primary user does not increase from a predefined threshold. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to address the power control problem for CR networks. The proposed solution models the wireless system with a non-cooperative game, in which each player maximize its utility in a competitive environment. The simulation results shows that the proposed algorithm improves the performance of the network in terms of high SINR and low power consumption.

This research proposes a machine learning approach using fuzzy logic to build an information retrieval system for the next crop rotation. In case-based reasoning systems, case representation is critical, and thus, researchers have thoroughly investigated textual, attribute-value pair, and ontological representations. As big databases result in slow case retrieval, this research suggests a fast case retrieval strategy based on an associated representation, so that, cases are interrelated in both either similar or dissimilar cases. As soon as a new case is recorded, it is compared to prior data to find a relative match. The proposed method is worked on the number of cases and retrieval accuracy between the related case representation and conventional approaches. Hierarchical Long Short-Term Memory (HLSTM) is used to evaluate the efficiency, similarity of the models, and fuzzy rules are applied to predict the environmental condition and soil quality during a particular time of the year. Based on the results, the proposed approaches allows for rapid case retrieval with high accuracy. 相似文献
This survey aims at providing multimedia researchers with a state-of-the-art overview of fusion strategies, which are used
for combining multiple modalities in order to accomplish various multimedia analysis tasks. The existing literature on multimodal
fusion research is presented through several classifications based on the fusion methodology and the level of fusion (feature,
decision, and hybrid). The fusion methods are described from the perspective of the basic concept, advantages, weaknesses,
and their usage in various analysis tasks as reported in the literature. Moreover, several distinctive issues that influence
a multimodal fusion process such as, the use of correlation and independence, confidence level, contextual information, synchronization
between different modalities, and the optimal modality selection are also highlighted. Finally, we present the open issues
for further research in the area of multimodal fusion. 相似文献
Abstract A regional study of Selenium (Se) speciation in surface waters, groundwaters, and saturation extracts from Soan-Sakesar valley Salt-Range, Pakistan was started in March 1994 and completed in October 1996. Groundwaters, streams, and springs had median concentrations of: total Se 48, 404.5, and 82 μg/l; Se+VI 40, 350 and 51 μg/l; Se+IV 8, 48 and 29 μg/l; Se-II 0, 6.5 and 2.0 μg/l, respectively. The concentration of Se exceeded the recommended water quality guidelines for drinking and irrigation water of 10 and 20 μg/l, respectively. In saturation extracts, median total Se, Se+VI, Se+IV and Se-II were 190, 146, 37 and 7.0 μg/l, respectively. Uchhali, Khabbaki and Jahlar lake water samples had the mean concentration of: total Se 2103, 670 and 297 μg/l; Se+VI 1777, 470, and 233 μg/l; Se+IV 291, 166 and 39 μg/l; Se-II 35, 34 and 25 μg/l, respectively. The Sakesar limestone Formation of Eocene age rich in shales and fossils (median Se concentration 7.2 μg/kg) are considered to be the source of selenium that have enriched soils of Soan-Sakesar valley. Selenim speciation results show the abundance of selenate in all the environmental samples. A linear relationship between Se+VI and pH (R2= 0.84, 0.58, 0.88, 0.82, and 0.91; significant at the 0.05 level) for groundwater, saturation extract, stream, spring, and lake waters were noted, suggesting that the Se+VI in the samples is highly associated with pH. Linear relationships were established between Se+VI and Mg, NO3, and SO4 for groundwater (R2= 0.24, 0.16, and 0.64; significant at the 0.01 level) and surface water (R2= 0.96, 0.14, and 0.91; significant at the 0.001 level). This suggests the high concentrations of Mg, NO3 and SO4, which strongly adsorb and compete with selenium for surface site, increases the Se+VI fraction. The results show that the higher percentage of selenate on other species in the analyzed samples is favored by higher pH and oxidizing environments of the valley. 相似文献
Linux malware can pose a significant threat—its (Linux) penetration is exponentially increasing—because little is known or
understood about Linux OS vulnerabilities. We believe that now is the right time to devise non-signature based zero-day (previously
unknown) malware detection strategies before Linux intruders take us by surprise. Therefore, in this paper, we first do a
forensic analysis of Linux executable and linkable format (ELF) files. Our forensic analysis provides insight into different
features that have the potential to discriminate malicious executables from benign ones. As a result, we can select a features’
set of 383 features that are extracted from an ELF headers. We quantify the classification potential of features using information
gain and then remove redundant features by employing preprocessing filters. Finally, we do an extensive evaluation among classical
rule-based machine learning classifiers—RIPPER, PART, C4.5 Rules, and decision tree J48—and bio-inspired classifiers—cAnt
Miner, UCS, XCS, and GAssist—to select the best classifier for our system. We have evaluated our approach on an available
collection of 709 Linux malware samples from vx heavens and offensive computing. Our experiments show that ELF-Miner provides more than 99% detection accuracy with less than 0.1% false alarm rate. 相似文献
Current remote sensing satellites with multispectral sensors capture high-resolution images and produce vast quantities of data. The size and volume of this information has dramatically increased in the last decade as sensor resolution and capabilities have significantly improved, without a similar improvement on the satellite system capacity to accommodate these changes. Remote sensing satellites currently operate on a “store and forward” paradigm, where data is stored on the satellite until the satellite is in view of the ground station. Low Earth orbit satellites may only see a ground station for a 10–15 min window per pass, in which time all the collected information must be telemetered to the ground. This process requires large and expensive onboard storage resources and places tremendous stress on communication channels. Hence, a complete image may not be successfully telemetered in one pass causing a significant delay between capture and analysis and limiting the benefits of these images. Smart satellites are more technologically advanced, require less ground station support and data storage, and are capable of transmitting required information quickly and easily to ground stations. With onboard reconfigurable data processing, these satellites have faster data product turnaround, less communication requirements, and provide more useful information. The high performance computing (HPC-I) payload on board the Australian satellite FedSat, launched in December 2002, is a demonstration device of the feasibility of reconfigurable computing technology in space. This device is small in size, requires low power, and has the processing capacity to handle large data volumes. Using this device in conjunction with a high-resolution imaging sensor, such as the bispectral infrared detection (BIRD) sensor, smart dedicated satellites become a feasible and cost effective solution to remote sensing needs. This paper elaborates on the system level design of a real-time fire observation system in the context of a smart satellite mission for detecting and monitoring natural disasters. The proposed system is built upon flight tested field programmable gate arrays based HPC-I technology, and would be capable of producing useful information about natural disasters directly broadcasted to interested parties within rapid timeframes. The algorithms for onboard real-time detection of direction, intensity, and location of fires are discussed, and reliable algorithms for detecting and verifying these fires using smoke plume detection are presented. Further work is described including fire-front analysis and the tracking of fire movement. 相似文献
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of elastic solids and viscous fluids may suffer from unphysical clustering of particles due to the tensile instability. Recent work has shown that in simulations of elastic or brittle solids the instability can be removed by an artificial stress whose form is derived from a linear perturbation analysis of the full set of governing SPH equations. While a linear analysis cannot be used to derive the corresponding form of the artificial stress for a viscous fluid, here we show that the same construction which applies to elastic solids may also work for viscous fluids provided that the constant parameter ? entering in the definition of the artificial stress is properly chosen. As a suitable test case, we model the formation of a circular van der Waals liquid drop and show that the tensile instability is removed when an artificial viscous force and energy generation term are added to the standard SPH equations of motion and energy, respectively. The optimal value of the constant ? is constrained by the ability of the model simulation to reproduce both a sufficiently smoothed density profile and the van der Waals phase diagram. 相似文献
Aluminium bronzes have been used as high strength, corrosion and wear resistance alloys for many decades. However, the alloy has a narrow solidification range and a complex nature which has confined its use to a limited field of applications. Published data on the wear characteristics and the metallurgical nature of the alloy system is limited, leaving wide possibilities for research. In the work described in this paper a study has been made of the metallurgical and tribological characteristics of aluminium bronzes conforming to BS 1400 AB2 specification. A novel centrifugal casting technique using a bonded sand lining integrated into a standard rotating die was adapted to cast a series of test bushes. Mechanical and microscopic aspects are studied and an attempt is made to correlate the physical properties with the tribological behaviour of the bushes. The results show that the test behaviour of the test bush was in some respects better than that of commercially produced bushes made by forging techniques. Detrimental embrittlement, due to ‘self annealing’ is significantly reduced by the adoption of the novel centrifugal casting technique referred to above. 相似文献
