Automatic TV Image Tracking Using Advanced Positive Frame Difference Predicted Window Technique.

TV image tracking is a subject of increasing interest due to the progress of the new technologies and fabrication of high resolution long range cameras and fast microprocessors. A new technique for TV image tracking; advanced predicted window technique (APWT), is proposed. In this technique the tracking window is positioned at an advanced (predicted) position of the target moving center in a noisy background. In addition, the advanced positive frame difference predicted window technique (APFDWT) is presented, and its mathematical formulation ( including separation of moving target from noisy background, extraction of dominant features of moving target, and selection of target to be tracked ) is derived. The proposed system has the ability to identify and track close distinct targets flying in noisy stationary ambient-ground. The evaluation of target center, orientation angle, and velocity parameters are introduced to improve the tracking process.The proposed system overcomes most of the disadvantages of the traditional TV tracking systems such as : initial manual location of the window around the selected target, initial adjustment of the window size, tracking failure due to the movement of other targets across the window, and the increased processig time due to the use of micro image processors in case of multi-target tracking. Simulation results show that the proposed tracking system is more stable and reliable .
Clariant reports modest local currency sales growth in 2019 but income drops

For full-year 2019, Clariant posted sales from continuing operations of CHF4.399 billion (c. E4.10 billion), on a par with the previous year's total of CHF4.404 billion in Swiss franc terms. The sales figure represents organic growth of 3% in local currency terms, boosted by both higher volumes and pricing particularly in the Natural Resources and Catalysis business areas; however, unfavourable currency exchange effects negated this growth on conversion to Swiss francs, the company reports.
AMBIGUISTAS OF INDONESIAN LANGUAGE ON THE STUDENTS OF IQRA BURU UNIVERSITY

ABSTRACK Ambiguity is a meaningful thing or has more than two meanings. Most people misinterpret what is read and hear. This can occur both in spoken speech and writing. This interpretation of more than one can raise doubts and confusion in making decisions about meaning referred to, so that the reader must be observant in grasping the meaning of that intended by the writer. Ambiguity at this level occurs because of the sounds of spoken language. sometimes it can be misinterpreted the meaning of a word or phrase because during a conversation the phrase or word is said too quickly. This study aims to describe the ambiguity of the Indonesian language used by Iqra University students in composing narratives and papers. This type of research is qualitative research that is naturally or in the context of a wholeness. by using descriptive collected in the form of words and not numbers. The data in this study are data that contain ambiguity using the theories of experts when analyzing. Data collection techniques namely after describing the form of words and phrases in Indonesian written by students after that are analyzed according to theory. the results showed that in students' essays there were words and phrases that contained ambiguity

Revamping real estate document storage with blockchain

This paper reports the usage of blockchain technology in today's asset trade. Blockchain analyses disruptive power towards real estate. The real estate sector's problem is that there are various ways in which high-profile people exploit the authentic user by taking of their land and manipulating the documents. The paper-based documentation linked with real estate is more vulnerable to forgery than digital documents. This paper describes how blockchain is applied to the real-estate sector. The blockchain aims to maintain the history of all real estate transactions and registration in a network using smart contracts. Blockchain allows each property, anywhere, to have a digital address for the ownership and other attributes to maintain all past transactions. Blockchain speeds up the transactions from days/weeks/months to minutes/seconds, which has huge impact on society. This paper describes the solution to ensure the use of blockchain in land records.
Ranking Web of Universities: Is Webometrics a Reliable Academic Ranking?

Global university rankings continue to gain growing interest and have high visibility from all stakeholders. Of these, Webometrics Ranking (WR) faces many criticisms about its function. Some people believe WR evaluates only the websites of universities but not their global performance and impact as mentioned by WR authors. This stimulates us to examine the idea of using WR as a reliable academic ranking for the world universities. To test this hypothesis, we apply the WR results with two widely accepted indexes, i.e., the global university rankings and the bibliometrics. Therefore, the WR ranking of the Top 100 institutions are correlated with the corresponding values of six world ranking systems’ 2015 edition (ARWU, USNWR, QS, THE, NTU and URAP) that commonly accepted to evaluate the academic performance of the university, as well as with the objectively bibliometric indicators gathered from the Web of Science (WOS) InCitesTM - Thomson Reuters. The findings revealed that the WR results provide a good correlation with both ranking systems’ results and with 12 bibliometric variables namely: WOS Documents, Times Cited, Citation Impact (CI), Citation Impact: Category Normalized (CNCI), Citation Impact: Journal Normalized (JNCI), Impact Relative to World, % of Top 1% Documents, % of Top 10% Documents, Highly Cited Papers, h-index, International Collaborations, and % Industry Collaborations. The consistency between WR and the studied six rankings increases with increasing the weight percent of the research or bibliometric indicators in these six global rankings. Moreover, the consistency between WR and survey-based rankings (USNWR, THE and QS) increases with decreasing the weight of the subjective reputation survey indicators. The North American, especially USA universities are characterized by the extremely high visibility in WR as well as in the studied seven global rankings. Thus, web-based indicators ranking (WR) offers results of comparable and similar quality to those of the six major global university rankings. Accordingly, they have the capability to rank institutional academic performance. Moreover, the reliability could be enhanced if each university has only one web-domain that accurately reflects its actual performance and activity. We recommend all institutions to apply all ranking systems together since their criteria and indicators complement each other and can form a comprehensive index for covering various HEIs activities/functions worldwide.

OAuth 2.0 MAC Token Profile

The OAuth 2.0 core specification doesn’t mandate any specific token type. It’s one of the extension points introduced in OAuth 2.0. Almost all public implementations use the OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token Profile. This came up with the OAuth 2.0 core specification, but as an independent profile, documented under RFC 6750. Eran Hammer, who was the lead editor of the OAuth 2.0 specification by that time, introduced the Message Authentication Code (MAC) Token Profile for OAuth 2.0. (Hammer also led the OAuth 1.0 specification.) Since its introduction to the OAuth 2.0 IETF working group in November 2011, the MAC Token Profile has made a slow progress. The slow progress was mostly due to the fact that the working group was interested in building a complete stack around bearer tokens before moving into another token type. In this chapter, we will take a deeper look into the OAuth 2.0 MAC Token Profile and its applications.

Linear space-variant optical cryptosystem via Fourier ptychography

Optical cryptography has attracted extensive interest because of the inherent nature of parallel and multidimensional capability of optical information processing compared with computer cryptography. However, the linear space-invariant (LSI) cryptosystems are easy to be simulated and may be vulnerable to different attacks. To resist attacks, several phasetruncated Fourier transforms based asymmetric cryptosystem are proposed to utilize the nonlinear operations in the LSI system, but they are proved to be vulnerable due to the inherent nature of LSI system. Notice that several works misunderstand the concept of nonlinear operations to the nonlinear systems. But the nonlinear systems are not easy to be achieved. Herein, an optical cryptosystem based on Fourier ptychography (FP) with double random phase masks is proposed. The encryption process cannot be precisely simulated but only by optical experiment due to the vignetting effect, which is linear space-variant (LSV) and can act as an one-way function from the perspective of optics purely and guarantee the security of our system. In addition, the encryption for a high resolution, large field-of-view and complexvalued image is achievable. Optical experiments are presented to prove the validity and the security of the proposed system. Our method would give more insights to separate the optical cryptography from computer cryptography in nature.

Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) has been applied as a tool to solve planning problems. However, SCT and planning techniques, in general, suffer an explosion in computational complexity when the systems reach a size commonly of interest. Efforts have been directed to improve the scalability of the application of SCT. For example, modular and compositional algorithms have been developed where a system can be decomposed into sub-systems. Hierarchical methods which employ abstraction are also known in literature. In prior work, the notion of cost equivalence was employed to generate an abstraction of the supervisor that, with additional conditions, guarantees that an optimal plan generated on the abstraction is also optimal when applied to the underlying full supervisor. Here we go a step further and develop a new notion of equivalence based on cost equivalence and weak bisimulation that we term priced-observation equivalence. This class of equivalence aggregates states with futures that share the same event labels and costs. This equivalence, along with other requirements, allows the supervisor abstraction to be generated compositionally. This helps to avoid the explosion of the state space that arises from having to first synthesize the full supervisor before the abstraction can be applied.

What Can the Conjunction Fallacy Tell Us about Human Reasoning?

This chapter briefly summarizes some the main results obtained from more than three decades of studies on the conjunction fallacy. It shows that this striking and widely discussed reasoning error is a robust phenomenon that can systematically affect the probabilistic inferences of both laypeople and experts, and it introduces an explanation based on the notion of evidential impact in terms of contemporary Bayesian confirmation theory. Finally, the chapter tackles the open issue of the greater accuracy and reliability of impact assessments over posterior probability judgments and outlines how further research on the role of evidential reasoning in the acceptability of explanations might contribute to the development of effective human-like computing.
