New Hybrid Access Method for Femtocell through Adjusting QoS

The increasing number of mobile users raises issues about coverage extension in some areas such as rural zones, indoor or underground locations： one of suggestion solution to accommodate this growing of mobile user is femtocell. Femtocell have been attracting considerable attention in mobile communications, it is a small base station that install to improve the indoor coverage of a given cellular and to enhance user＇s capacity. Call admission control and resource allocation infemtocell＇s hybrid mode are an essential performance promotion issue. Developing methods for femtocell utilization is very comparative nowadays. The two major limitations of wireless communication are capacity and range. The main contribution of our paper is developing resource allocation scheme that can manage the femocell resources between subscriber （femtocell user） and non-subscriber （macrocell user in order to maximizing the system utilizations, we provide a mechanism that leads to serve more users by admitting more subscribers basing on adjusting QoS of the connected users.     

Three-qubit Grover’s algorithm using superconducting quantum interference devices in cavity-QED

We present a scheme for the implementation of three-qubit Grover’s algorithm using four-level superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) coupled to a superconducting resonator. The scheme is based on resonant, off-resonant interaction of the cavity field with SQUIDs and application of classical microwave pulses. We show that adjustment of SQUID level spacings during the gate operations, adiabatic passage, and second-order detuning are not required that leads to faster implementation. We also show that the marked state can be searched with high fidelity even in the presence of unwanted off-resonant interactions, level decay, and cavity dissipation.     

Data-Intensive Cloud Computing: Requirements, Expectations, Challenges, and Solutions

Data-intensive systems encompass terabytes to petabytes of data. Such systems require massive storage and intensive computational power in order to execute complex queries and generate timely results. Further, the rate at which this data is being generated induces extensive challenges of data storage, linking, and processing. A data-intensive cloud provides an abstraction of high availability, usability, and efficiency to users. However, underlying this abstraction, there are stringent requirements and challenges to facilitate scalable and resourceful services through effective physical infrastructure, smart networking solutions, intelligent software tools, and useful software approaches. This paper analyzes the extensive requirements which exist in data-intensive clouds, describes various challenges related to the paradigm, and assess numerous solutions in meeting these requirements and challenges. It provides a detailed study of the solutions and analyzes their capabilities in meeting emerging needs of widespread applications.     

Buoyancy convection in a cavity with mutually orthogonal heated plates

Buoyancy driven convection in a square cavity induced by two mutually orthogonal arbitrarily placed heated thin plates is studied numerically under isothermal and isoflux boundary conditions. The flow is assumed to be two-dimensional. The coupled governing equations were solved by the finite difference method using the Alternating Direction Implicit technique and Successive Over Relaxation method. The steady state results are depicted in terms of streamline and isotherm plots. It is found that the resulting convection pattern is stronger for the isothermal boundary condition. A better overall heat transfer can be achieved by placing one of the plates far away from the center of the cavity for isothermal boundary condition and near the center of the cavity for isoflux boundary condition.     

Design and modelling of ultrasonic tomography for two-component high-acoustic impedance mixture

This paper describes the design and modelling of ultrasonic tomography for two-component high-acoustic impedance mixture such as liquid/gas and oil/gas flow which commonly found in chemical columns and industrial pipelines. The information obtained through this research has proven to be useful for further development of ultrasonic tomography. This includes acquiring and processing ultrasonic signals from the transducers to obtain the information of the spatial distributions of liquid and gas in an experimental column. Analysis on the transducers’ signals has been carried out to distinguish between the observation time and the Lamb waves. The information obtained from the observation time is useful for further development of the image reconstruction.     

Targeting spam control on middleboxes: Spam detection based on layer-3 e-mail content classification

This paper proposes a spam detection technique, at the packet level (layer 3), based on classification of e-mail contents. Our proposal targets spam control implementations on middleboxes. E-mails are first pre-classified (pre-detected) for spam on a per-packet basis, without the need for reassembly. This, in turn, allows fast e-mail class estimation (spam detection) at receiving e-mail servers to support more effective spam handling on both inbound and outbound (relayed) e-mails. In this paper, the naïve Bayes classification technique is adapted to support both pre-classification and fast e-mail class estimation, on a per-packet basis. We focus on evaluating the accuracy of spam detection at layer 3, considering the constraints on processing byte-streams over the network, including packet re-ordering, fragmentation, overlapped bytes, and different packet sizes. Results show that the proposed layer-3 classification technique gives less than 0.5% false positive, which approximately equals the performance attained at layer 7. This shows that classifying e-mails at the packet level could differentiate non-spam from spam with high confidence for a viable spam control implementation on middleboxes.     

A multi-objective strategy in genetic algorithms for gene selection of gene expression data

A microarray machine offers the capacity to measure the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. It is used to collect information from tissue and cell samples regarding gene expression differences that could be useful for cancer classification. However, the urgent problems in the use of gene expression data are the availability of a huge number of genes relative to the small number of available samples, and the fact that many of the genes are not relevant to the classification. It has been shown that selecting a small subset of genes can lead to improved accuracy in the classification. Hence, this paper proposes a solution to the problems by using a multiobjective strategy in a genetic algorithm. This approach was tried on two benchmark gene expression data sets. It obtained encouraging results on those data sets as compared with an approach that used a single-objective strategy in a genetic algorithm.

Selecting informative genes from microarray data by using hybrid methods for cancer classification

Gene expression technology, namely microarrays, offers the ability to measure the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously in biological organisms. Microarray data are expected to be of significant help in the development of an efficient cancer diagnosis and classification platform. A major problem in these data is that the number of genes greatly exceeds the number of tissue samples. These data also have noisy genes. It has been shown in literature reviews that selecting a small subset of informative genes can lead to improved classification accuracy. Therefore, this paper aims to select a small subset of informative genes that are most relevant for cancer classification. To achieve this aim, an approach using two hybrid methods has been proposed. This approach is assessed and evaluated on two well-known microarray data sets, showing competitive results.

BSLPSDN: Base station location privacy via software-defined networking (SDN) in wireless sensor networks

Base station's location privacy in a wireless sensor network (WSN) is critical for information security and operational availability of the network. A key part of securing the base station from potential compromise is to secure the information about its physical location. This paper proposes a technique called base station location privacy via software-defined networking (SDN) in wireless sensor networks (BSLPSDN). The inspiration comes from the architecture of SDN, where the control plane is separated from the data plane, and where control plane decides the policy for the data plane. BSLPSDN uses three categories of nodes, namely, a main controller to instruct the overall operations, a dedicated node to buffer and forward data, and lastly, a common node to sense and forward the packet. We employ three kinds of nodes to collaborate and achieve stealth for the base station and thus protecting it against the traffic-analysis attacks. Different traits of the WSN including energy status and traffic density can actively be monitored by BSLPSDN, which positively affects the energy goals, expected life of the network, load on common nodes, and the possibility of creating diversion in the wake of an attack on the base station. We incorporated multiple experiments to analyze and evaluate the performance of our proposed algorithm. We use single controller with multiple sensor nodes and multiple controllers with multiple sensor nodes to show the level of anonymity of BS. Experiments show that providing BS anonymity via multiple controllers is the best method both in terms of energy and privacy.
