Social network applications are being more widely used among users and new types of such applications are created by developers. Almost all users who use smart phones are users of such application. Major concern in these applications is privacy and security. We can name WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook, Telegram, Line, WeChat and Beetalk as the most popular applications. There are also websites which provide online numbers in order to receive SMS. The goal of this website is providing anonymous virtual phone number to protect users from spam. Also these sites provide different number from different countries and let people to can use them for different application. The services of these websites are divided into two groups: subscription services in which a unique number is assigned to the user by charging him/her and free services in which user can see the received messages of some online numbers without any registration.

Cervical cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in women. Cervical cancer and the normal cervix usually have similar attenuations on CT images which are obtained. The normal cervix and the tumour cannot be distinguished on normal CT images. CT image of cervical cancer is used by the experts for the analysis of diseases. In this research study, CT image of cervical cancer is done with process of image segmentation and coloring. The process of image segmentation is done after the image sharpening process and the determination of cervical cancer’s area. Fuzzy C-Means is used as the algorithm for image segmentation. The colors of image segmentation result are changed by program module. The result is the colors of image segmentation uniform with the other results. The image is overlayed with image result of image sharpening process. Coloring image purposes are to distinguish between cervical cancer’s area and normal organ and to localize the existence of cervical cancer. Based on the doctor’s observation, the empirical rate of testing 20 samples on the program is 100%.

In this research, adoption of the DeLone and McLean (D&M) information system (IS) success model and its adaptation with the project success theories were used to explore state of IS project success and to examine factors which affect its success. A survey towards the internal project stakeholder in an univerity with response rate 48% was carried out to collect the raw data for Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. Majority of the participants (80.7%) stated that level of the project success is more than 50% where information quality, system quality, service quality, system use, and user satisfaction substantially explain 64.5% of variance in the success variable. The three quality factors together explain 43.2% of the variance of system use and 70.4% of the variance of user satisfaction. Although, a number of the findings were consistent with the prior studies, these findings also presented inconsistencies especially related to aspects of information quality and system use. Accordingly, researchers and practitioners will be stand to benefit from the information provided in this study and it is hoped that future research will build upon the findings reported herein as efforts are made to attain the IS project success especially in the sampled institution.

Power distribution systems play important roles in modern society. When distribution system outages occur, speedy and precise fault location is crucial in accelerating system restoration, reducing outage time and significantly improving system reliability, and then improves the quality of services and customer satisfaction. In this paper, we propose a reduced algorithm utilizing the sum of sending-end currents of the three phases to calculate the fault current, and therefore, avoid the iterative aspect of the classic algorithm for single line to ground fault location and reduce its computational charge. The test results are obtained from the numerical simulation using the data of a distribution line recognized in the literature.

This paper proposed a novel variation of spectral clustering model based on a novel affinitymetric that considers the distribution of the neighboring points to learn the underlayingstructures in the data set. Proposed affinity metric is calculated using Mahalanobis distancethat exploits the concept of outlier detection for identifying the neighborhoods of the datapoints. RandomWalk Laplacian of the representative graph and its spectra has been consideredfor the clustering purpose and the first k number of eigenvectors have been consideredin the second phase of clustering. The model has been tested with benchmark data and thequality of the output of the proposed model has been tested in various clustering indicesscales.

Large disturbances in power systems cause deviation in the frequency from the nominal value. Since the frequency is an important factor in the electrical network parameter measurements, it can cause malfunction of the protection system. In addition, Because of decaying DC and oscillatory components that introduced by CCVT in response of voltage variation during the fault occurrence, cause changes in the value of received voltage of primary side of CCVT. An improved least square method for estimating frequency is presented in this paper. In order to reduce the effect of this transient component, phasor estimation method has been improved by using the least square technique and utilizing knowledge of CCVT design. The capability of the proposed method was verified by several case studies generating signals in PSCAD/EMTDC. The results show the accuracy, speed and capability of the proposed method

This research focuses on developing a method to analyze why-questions. Some previous researches on the why-question analysis usually used the morphological and the syntactical approach without considering the expected answer types. Moreover, they rarely involved domain ontology to capture the semantic or conceptualization of the content. Consequently, some semantic mismatches occurred and then resulting not appropriate answers. The proposed method considers the expected answer types and involves domain ontology. It adapts the simple, the bag-of-words like model, by using semantic entities (i.e., concepts/entities and relations) instead of words to represent a query. The proposed method expands the question by adding the additional semantic entities got by executing the constructed SPARQL query of the why-question over the domain ontology. The major contribution of this research is in developing an ontology-based why-question analysis method by considering the expected answer types. Some experiments have been conducted to evaluate each phase of the proposed method. The results show good performance for all performance measures used (i.e., precision, recall, undergeneration, and overgeneration). Furthermore, comparison against two baseline methods, the keyword-based ones (i.e., the term-based and the phrase-based method), shows that the proposed method obtained better performance results in terms of MRR and P@10 values.

The usual way to avoid a computer shutdown during a mains failure is to connect an uninterruptible power supply system (UPS), which can be suitably modified and fitted inside the computer cabinet by the use of proposed methodology known as a dc UPS. Conventional desk top UPS systems store electricity in form of chemical energy in batteries and when ever mains fail the batteries provide DC power which is then converter to ac by inverter and then fed to the computer in order to save critical data. Thus power from mains or from UPS is fed to switched mode power supply unit which converts it to dc to supply the computer motherboard and accessories. Leaving the case of the computer powered by mains, duing power failure the dc power is unnecessarily converted to ac and then to dc again in SMPS hence high switching losses and heat is produced there by making the entire system very lowe efficient. In this work it is proposed to directly feed the dc power from the battery to the computer SMPS system by building a UPS arrangement within the computer system. This not noly saves space, it is highly efficient compared to the conventional ups system, easy to carry, low cost and reliable since there is no change over operation is required/. A complete design of an ac to dc power supply with an internal dc UPS is presented in this paper. . A prototype has been fully developed and tested as a PC power supply. Thus the result is achieved at full power about 6-8 minutes.

Multimedia becomes one of the most wanted content in the modern Internet world. Since the Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (MIPv6) was proposed, many researchers have tried to develop a new protocol based on this technology in order to improve the performance of mobile multimedia services. The world is emerging toward the Mobile Internet Protocol Television (MIPTV) era where people are enabled to watch television while roaming. The MIPTV technology requires high bandwidth and low latency handover. This paper proposes a new model of secure and robust handover with low handover latency, called SeamSAR. The model introduces a new way to perform home binding update and correspondent binding update simultaneously. Simulation results show that the proposed model reduced the handover latency to 63% compared to FMIPv6. Moreover, the secureness of the proposed model was verified using CMurphi simulator.
