Through-Wall Tracking Using Variance-Based Radio Tomography Networks

This paper presents a new method for imaging, localizing, and tracking motion behind walls in real-time. The method takes advantage of the motion-induced variance of received signal strength measurements made in a wireless peer-to-peer network. Using a multipath channel model, we show that the signal strength on a wireless link is largely dependent on the power contained in multipath components that travel through space containing moving objects. A statistical model relating variance to spatial locations of movement is presented and used as a framework for the estimation of a motion image. From the motion image, the Kalman filter is applied to recursively track the coordinates of a moving target. Experimental results for a 34-node through-wall imaging and tracking system over a 780 square foot area are presented.

Prostate Biopsy Assistance System with Gland Deformation Estimation for Enhanced Precision

Computer-assisted prostate biopsies became a very active research area during the last years. Prostate tracking makes it possi- ble to overcome several drawbacks of the current standard transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy procedure, namely the insufficient targeting accuracy which may lead to a biopsy distribution of poor quality, the very approximate knowledge about the actual location of the sampled tissues which makes it difficult to implement focal therapy strategies based on biopsy results, and finally the difficulty to precisely reach non-ultrasound (US) targets stemming from different modalities, statistical atlases or previous biopsy series. The prostate tracking systems presented so far are limited to rigid transformation tracking. However, the gland can get considerably deformed during the intervention because of US probe pres- sure and patient movements. We propose to use 3D US combined with image-based elastic registration to estimate these deformations. A fast elastic registration algorithm that copes with the frequently occurring US shadows is presented. A patient cohort study was performed, which yielded a statistically significant in-vivo accuracy of 0.83+-0.54mm.

A methodology for semi-automatic classification schema building

This paper describe a methodology for semi-automatic classification schema definition (a classification schema is a taxonomy of categories useful for automatic document classification). The methodology is based on: (i) an extensional approach useful to create a typology starting from a document base, and (ii) an intensional approach to build the classification schema starting from the typology. The extensional approach uses clustering techniques to group together documents on the basis of a similarity measure, whereas the intensional approach uses different operations (aggregation, reduction, generalization specialization) to define classes. keywords: ontology, classification schema, fundamentum divisionis, cluster analysis classification task.

Use of L-system mathematics for making new subfamily members of olfactory receptor full length genes, OR1D2, OR1D4 and OR1D5

Ligands for only two human olfactory receptors are known. One of them, OR1D2, binds to Bourgeonal [Malnic B, Godfrey P-A, Buck L-B (2004) The human olfactory receptor gene family. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci U. S. A. 101: 2584-2589 and Erratum in: Proc Natl Acad Sci U. S. A. (2004) 101: 7205]. OR1D2, OR1D4 and OR1D5 are three full length olfactory receptors present in an olfactory locus in human genome. These receptors are more than 80% identical in DNA sequences and have 108 base pair mismatches among them. We have used L-system mathematics and have been able to show a closely related subfamily of OR1D2, OR1D4 and OR1D5.

Some Thoughts on Hypercomputation

Hypercomputation is a relatively new branch of computer science that emerged from the idea that the Church--Turing Thesis, which is supposed to describe what is computable and what is noncomputable, cannot possible be true. Because of its apparent validity, the Church--Turing Thesis has been used to investigate the possible limits of intelligence of any imaginable life form, and, consequently, the limits of information processing, since living beings are, among others, information processors. However, in the light of hypercomputation, which seems to be feasibly in our universe, one cannot impose arbitrary limits to what intelligence can achieve unless there are specific physical laws that prohibit the realization of something. In addition, hypercomputation allows us to ponder about aspects of communication between intelligent beings that have not been considered before

Can we debug the Universe?

Roughly, the Church-Turing thesis is a hypothesis that describes exactly what can be computed by any real or feasible conceptual computing device. Generally speaking, the computational metaphor is the idea that everything, including the universe itself, has a computational nature. However, if the Church-Turing thesis is not valid, then does it make sense to expect the construction of a computer program capable of simulating the whole Universe? In the lights of hypercomputation, the scientific discipline that is about computing beyond the Church-Turing barrier, the most natural answer to this question is: No. This note is a justification of this answer and its deeper meaning based on arguments from physics, the philosophy of the mind, and, of course, (hyper)computability theory.

Knowledge Extraction for Discriminating Male and Female in Logical Reasoning from Student Model

The learning process is a process of communication and interaction between the teacher and his students on one side and between the students and each others on the other side. Interaction of the teacher with his students has a great importance in the process of learning and education. The pattern and style of this interaction is determined by the educational situation, trends and concerns, and educational characteristics. Classroom interaction has an importance and a big role in increasing the efficiency of the learning process and raising the achievement levels of students. Students need to learn skills and habits of study, especially at the university level. The effectiveness of learning is affected by several factors that include the prevailing patterns of interactive behavior in the classroom. These patterns are reflected in the activities of teacher and learners during the learning process. The effectiveness of learning is also influenced by the cognitive and non cognitive characteristics of teacher that help him to succeed, the characteristics of learners, teaching subject, and the teaching methods. This paper presents a machine learning algorithm for extracting knowledge from student model. The proposed algorithm utilizes the inherent characteristic of genetic algorithm and neural network for extracting comprehensible rules from the student database. The knowledge is used for discriminating male and female levels in logical reasoning as a part of an expert system course.

An Alternative To Common Content Management Techniques

Content management systems use various strategies to store and manage information. One of the most usual methods encountered in commercial products is to make use of the file system to store the raw content information, while the associated metadata is kept synchronized in a relational database management system. This strategy has its advantages but we believe it also has significant limitations which should be addressed and eventually solved. In this paper we propose an alternative method of storing and managing content aiming at finding solutions for current limitations both in terms of functional and nonfunctional requirements.

One-bit stochastic resonance storage device

The increasing capacity of modern computers, driven by Moore's Law, is accompanied by smaller noise margins and higher error rates. In this paper we propose a memory device, consisting of a ring of two identical overdamped bistable forward-coupled oscillators, which may serve as a building block in a larger scale solution to this problem. We show that such a system is capable of storing one bit and its performance improves with the addition of noise. The proposed device can be regarded as asynchronous, in the sense that stored information can be retrieved at any time and, after a certain synchronization time, the probability of erroneous retrieval does not depend on the interrogated oscillator. We characterize memory persistence time and show it to be maximized for the same noise range that both minimizes the probability of error and ensures synchronization. We also present experimental results for a hard-wired version of the proposed memory, consisting of a loop of two Schmitt triggers. We show that this device is capable of storing one bit and does so more efficiently in the presence of noise.

AnAmeter: The First Steps to Evaluating Adaptation

This paper presents the online AnAmeter framework that helps characterize the different types of adaptations a system features by helping the evaluator fill in a simple form. The provided information is then processed to obtain a quantitative evaluation of three parameters called global, semi-global and local adaptation degrees. By characterizing and quantifying adaptation, AnAmeter provides the first steps towards the evaluation of the quality of a system's adaptation. AnAmeter is an open tool available as freeware on the web and has been applied to a selection of well known systems. To build this evaluation grid we also collected a number of systems that cover the full range of adaptation types.

Discussion on Supervisory Control by Solving Automata Equation

In this paper we consider the supervisory control problem through language equation solving. The equation solving approach allows to deal with more general topologies and to find a largest supervisor which can be used as a reservoir for deriving an optimal controller. We introduce the notions of solutions under partial controllability and partial observability, and we show how supervisory control problems with partial controllability and partial observability can be solved by employing equation solving methods.

Web Based Cross Language Plagiarism Detection

As the Internet help us cross language and cultural border by providing different types of translation tools, cross language plagiarism, also known as translation plagiarism are bound to arise. Especially among the academic works, such issue will definitely affect the student's works including the quality of their assignments and paper works. In this paper, we propose a new approach in detecting cross language plagiarism. Our web based cross language plagiarism detection system is specially tuned to detect translation plagiarism by implementing different techniques and tools to assist the detection process. Google Translate API is used as our translation tool and Google Search API, which is used in our information retrieval process. Our system is also integrated with the fingerprint matching technique, which is a widely used plagiarism detection technique. In general, our proposed system is started by translating the input documents from Malay to English, followed by removal of stop words and stemming words, identification of similar documents in corpus, comparison of similar pattern and finally summary of the result. Three least-frequent 4-grams fingerprint matching is used to implement the core comparison phase during the plagiarism detection process. In K-gram fingerprint matching technique, although any value of K can be considered, yet K = 4 was stated as an ideal choice. This is because smaller values of K (i.e., K = 1, 2, or 3), do not provide good discrimination between sentences. On the other hand, the larger the values of K (i.e., K = 5, 6, 7...etc), the better discrimination of words in one sentence from words in another.

Speed Control of Multi Level Inverter Designed DC Series Motor with Neuro-Fuzzy Controllers

This paper describes the speed control of a DC series motor for an accurate and high-speed performance. A neural network based controlling operation with fuzzy modeling is suggested in this paper. The driver units of these machines are designed with a Multi-level inverter operation and are controlled by a common current control mechanism for an accurate and efficient driving technique for DC series motor. The neuro-fuzzy logic control technique is introduced to eliminate uncertainties in the plant parameters of the DC Series motors, and also considered as potential candidate for different applications to prove adequacy of the proposed control algorithm through simulations. The simulation result with such an approach is made and observed efficient over other controlling technique.

Analysis on the Study of QoS-Aware Web Services Discovery

Web service technology has gained more important role in developing distributed applications and systems on the Internet. Rapid growth of published Web services makes their discovery more and more difficult. There exist many web services which exhibit similar functional characteristics. It is imperative to provide service consumers with facilities for selecting required web services according to their non-functional characteristics or QoS. The QoS-based web service discovery mechanisms will play an essential role in SOA, as e-Business applications want to use services that most accurately meet their requirements. However, representing and storing the values of QoS attributes are problematic, as the current UDDI was not designed to accommodate these emerging requirements. To solve the problems of storing QoS in UDDI and aggregating QoS values using the tModel approach. The aim is to study these approaches and other existing QoS tModel representation for their efficiency and consistency in service discovery. This paper discusses a broad range of research issues such as web service discovery or web service selection based on QoS in the E-Business domain.

Advanced Technology in Speech Disorder Therapy of Romanian Language

One of the key challenges of the society development is related to public health and one of its specific targets includes better treatments of diseases. It is true that there are affections which by their nature do not endanger the life of a person, but they may have negative implications during his/her lifetime. Various language or speech disorders are part of this category. Discovered and treated in time, they can be corrected, most often in childhood. Because the Romanian language is a phonetic one that has its own special linguistic particularities, there is a real need to develop advanced information systems, which can be used to assist and help specialists in different speech disorders therapy. The aim of this paper is to present a few CBTS developed for the treatment of various language and speech disorders specific to the Romanian language.
