From Hi-Fi to CLI [Bits Versus Electrons]

I recently discovered FFMPEG. In itself, it’s not that special—another program for processing video. The significance comes from the context. I had just written a simple video server in JavaScript and discovered that I needed to convert the videos to formats that the browsers understood with different formats being required for different browsers. The first step was to find a program that could do the conversion. In fact, there are many for purchase and for free. I happened across FFMPEG when I wanted to add an automatic thumbnail feature to my site. I found the FFMPEG library and then discovered the command- line interface (CLI). I realized I could write simple command files to assist me in the conversions. Text commands using the keyboard have advantages over graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in making the actions more explicit. The command lines can be captured in files to be replayed later.
Academia Politécnica do Porto: contributos para o estudo de um Sistema de Informação

The University of Porto's Old Document Collection consists of several information systems that derive from different entities, which although related to one another, had a distinct identity and path.The present work attempts to give emphasis to one of these information systems: the one from Polytechnic Academy of Porto.The constitution and evolution of the information system was described, according to all the records available and previous studies.The analysis of the Academy's information system led to the conclusion that the information that was part of it is now scattered by different institutions, like the Rectory, the Sciences Faculty and Engineering Faculty.Thus, the present work opens doors for probable future projects, with the possibility of reuniting digitally this system so the history of an institution that gave such an important contribution for the development of a country can be publicly displayed and appreciated.
Paradigma Shift: Revolusi Peran Pustakawan Di Era Teknologi Informasi Masa Kini

The technological advancement of today is so rapidly that librarians can no longer think that the role of librarians only collects, processes the collection and presents it to the users and preserves it. It is exactly the old thinking, but times have changed over time. The existence of technology leads librarians to change the paradigm further ahead for the existence of libraries and the elimination of the role of librarians. The existence of the internet changes the paradigm of information retrieval. This can be seen from the more dominant use of e-books. The conversion of scientific journals, the effort to digitize the collection and so on. From this phenomenon raises concern that the computer can also replace the role of librarians, Internet media facilitate the search for information. Therefore librarians are required to follow the changes and adapt to them. Librarians in the information age must be able to adapt to changing usage to meet the needs of users in a relevant, accurate, and fast way. To undertake a change in librarianship, especially concerning the empowerment of human resources and must compete with other librarians in terms of lifting librarian's career and profession with the latest insights, in accordance with the times and emerging technologies. It therefore requires strong commitment and commitment from the librarian himself as well as the real support of the library organization. In the challenge for librarians / librarians to show their identity, by creating new products or services, or old products with new packaging, creativity, new innovations we combine with the use of information technology, to become information and change angle for the world of libraries .

Educational data modelling using curve fitting and average uniform algorithm

One of the most widely used techniques in data modelling is curve fitting. Curve fitting is the process of creating a curve or a function that will model the data to be analysed. Often times the resultant curve will not pass through all the data points, this is why it is called a best-fit curve for the data. In this paper, we propose a curve fitting quadratic function that is used to model educational data. The resultant model is then used to predict one or more output variables based on different values for input variables. In order to optimise the parameters for the quadratic function, the proposed AUA algorithm is used. The AUA is a metaheuristic optimisation that can be used to optimise a wide variety of continuous functions (linear, nonlinear, convex and non-convex). The AUA algorithm is used to find the optimal values for the coefficients of the quadratic function. Moreover, the optimal values for these coefficients are found using the classical derivative method for the sake of comparison.

Pose regulation of a constrained circular object using Echo State Networks

For some dexterity robotic tasks, such as turning a constrained dynamic object, rolling motion is a crucial advanced characteristic, which for the human hand is possible from the shape and soft tip in our fingers. This paper presents the manipulation of a rigid constrained dynamic circular object u sing a robotic finger equipped with a hemispherical and soft tip. Assuming that object angle measurement is not available, a force-position regulator is proposed to guarantee the control of contact force, as well as the object angle throughout the tangential force. To establish the relationship between the rolling angle and the tangential force, the use of Echo State Network (ESN) becomes instrumental. A novel smooth weight adaptation scheme steered by a sliding mode attractor, for readout network is proposed. Stability conditions are obtained to guarantee convergence in finite time using small feedback gains and piecewise continuous functions. Additionally, the local asymptotic stability of the pair robot-object is guaranteed without force sensing, not either any knowledge of the deformation nor penetration measurement, leading surprisingly to a simple blind touch-type controller for such difficult task. Finally, numerical simulations show the learning rule contribution and the behavior of the closed-loop system.

Design variability verification in Software Product Lines

This paper proposes a novel notion called variability verification applicable to Software Product Lines (SPL). Variability is central to SPL and we have observed that variability is expressed differently at different levels of abstraction in the development flow of SPL. A natural problem in this context is the conformance of variability information expressed at different levels. Design variability verification, in particular, checks whether the variability expressed at the design level conforms to that at the requirement level. Unlike many existing approaches to SPL modelling, our work does not assume a single global view of variation points, even within the same level of abstraction. In our view, an SPL is a concurrent composition of features, where each feature exhibits independent variability. This enables incremental addition of variability. The procedure is compositional in the sense that the verification of an entire SPL consisting of multiple features is reduced to the verification of the individual features. Feature level verification essentially involves standard model checking while, in the second step, a Quantified Boolean Formula (QBF) is synthesized and solved. The method has been implemented and demonstrated in a tool SPL Engine for Design Verification (SPLEnD) on a couple of fairly large case studies. SPLEnD uses SPIN tool for the feature level conformance, while the state-of-the-art QBF solver CirQit is used for the SPL level conformance. SPLEnD easily handles the evolution of SPL by addition of new features and modification of existing features. Experimental results with SPLEnD look very promising.
The Impact of Human Resources Management Practices on Cyber deviance among Employees at Information Technology Companies in Jordan

This study aimed to measure the impact of human resources management practices (performance appraisal, compensation and job security) on cyber deviance (web browsing, E-mail, and texting) among employees at information technology companies in Jordan. The study used descriptive and analytical methodology to deal with and classifying data, by designed and developed a questionnaire to be a study tool, in order to collect data from a study sample, then analysed through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v.24). The study population consisted of IT companies in King Hussein Business Park in Jordan, the study sample was (67) randomly selected companies, the number of employees at these companies are ( 3418) and the sampling unit involved (347) employees from mid and lower managerial levels at information technology companies in King Hussein Business Park in Jordan. Only 270 questionnaires were usable for final data analysis. The study found that there is an impact of human resources management practices (performance appraisal, compensation and job security) on cyber deviance in all if its dimensions (web browsing, E-mail, and texting) at IT companies in Jordan. The study proposes a few recommendations for IT companies in Jordan; the IT companies should be stricter in dealing with cyber deviance by means of creating policies to control the use of personal internet usage through cell phones in the workplace. Moreover, the study recommended the importance of giving more attention to compensation and job security as these practices are likely to reduce the occurrence of cyber deviance. Because cyber deviance is a new phenomenon at work, it offers new opportunities for researchers to engage in scientific inquiries to understand this phenomenon better.

International perspective and national reality in the Principi di Catalogazione e regole italiane di Diego Maltese

The Paris Principles of 1961, resulting from a meeting between the leading librarians of the day, and the Florentine experience with the Bibliografia nazionale italiana (BNI), a site subject to international pressures and at the heart of Italian cataloguing policy, are at the basis of the concept of Principi di catalogazione e regole italiane. Maltese was of the view that the Italian code of 1956 should be completely overhauled, leading to a “consistent system of clearly formulated basic principles”. The quotation of A.D. Osborn “Cataloging is an art, and as an art it is technical. Its basic rules are actually rather few and simple, and, in so far as the rules are kept few and simple, it is a delightful art to practice” (The Library Quarterly, 11 (1941) pp. 394−305) is the key to the reading of the work. Osborn (writing in 1941, twenty years before the Paris Principles), was hoping for rules that did not relate simply to particular cases, and that were unburdened by non-essential questions; Maltese’s reference to Osborn relates above all to the general method that he wishes to adopt: the abandonment of a legalistic code that proceeds case by case and is, hence, always “behind” with regard to the concrete manifestation and evolution of various types of publication; both are, instead, in favour of a code consisting of a small number of principles, serving as a guide, given the impossibility of foreseeing, recognizing and providing for every bibliographic eventuality. This philosophy takes maximum advantage of the professionalism and discernment of the cataloguer; the cataloguer, in fact, is called upon to use both competency and good sense − based on principles incorporated in “few and simple” rules − to adopt the solution that is most effective for the concrete context in which the catalogue is placed. The volume issues a powerful call for a return to responsible cataloguing and to the use of precise terminology. In this way, Maltese accords significant recognition to the profession, a testimony that marks a stimulating period in its history which, in the eighties and nineties, was subject to attempts at disruption, with drastic cutbacks in cataloguers and the widespread notion that anyone was capable of cataloguing.

Glass break detection system using deep auto encoders with fuzzy rules induction algorithm

Main uses of glass windows in commercial and residential buildings areprevalent. While a glass-based material has its advantages, it also posessecurity risks. Therefore, glass break detectors play an important role insecurity protection for offices and residential buildings. Conventionalvibration-based and acoustic-based glass break detectors are designed todetect predetermined temporal and frequency feature thresholds of glassbreakage sound signals. This leads to the inability to differentiate glass breakfrom environmental sounds (such as the sound of striking objects, heavysounds and shouted sounds) that are similar in their amplitude thresholdand frequency pattern. Machine learning based acoustic audio classificationhas been popular in security surveillance applications. Researchers areinterested in this research area, and different approaches have beenproposed for anomaly event detection (such as gunshots, glass breakagesounds, etc.). This paper proposes a new design of a glass break detectionalgorithm based on Fuzzy Deep Auto-encoder Neural Network. Thealgorithm reduces false alarms and improves detection accuracy.Experimental results indicate that proposed fuzzy deep auto-encodernetwork system attained 95.5% correct detection for the proposed audiodataset.
